“It’s alright. The college hospital will do. I have to attend the ceremony, Timothy stressed.


    Most importantly, Mia would be going onstage today. He didn’t want to miss it.


    Something in him was telling him that it wouldn’t be easy for him to meet Mia in the future if he left the


    ce right now.


    The revtion that she was the true Ms. Lane actually surprised him.


    She was getting farther and farther from his reach.


    Mia noticed the heavy feelings from his gaze, but she brushed it off by convincing herself that she must


    be seeing things.


    Why would Timothy feel that way for her? She could never imagine it.


    She dropped her gaze to the floor. “I think it’s better to go to the hospital.”


    “Tim, she’s right. Look, she’s concerned about you. You should go to the hospital. What am I going to


    do


    if something happens to you?”


    Dominic looked at Timothy, “They’re right. You should go to the hospital, Mr. Barrett. Thank you for


    saving Mia.”


    Sensing something was off, ude quickly said, “We’re Indeed grateful to you for saving Mia, but let’s


    call it even considering how you’ve treated Mia. We’ll let bygones be bygones.”


    Jason got the hint right away. “Yup. We actually wanted to take Mia with us and deal with the matter


    with your family. After all, you made her suffer for a whole three years! We can never let that slide


    easily.”


    The six men’s unfriendly gaze on Timothy worried Sharon so much that she stayed silent.


    In fact, she was one of the bullies that picked on Mia. If the Lanes wanted to settle the score, things


    would beplicated.


    The atmosphere turned grim.

    Maya, who was pressed onto the floor,ughed. “What about me? I’ve sacrificed so much for the Lane


    family and yet this is what I receive in return?”


    She shot a menacing look at Mia. “On the other hand, you didn’t do anything at all. What rights do you


    have to hog all their love? Why?”


    Mia found that statement odd.

    Dominic responded, “Mia, I regret bringing Maya back from the orphanage so much. Grandma’s


    condition deteriorated when we lost you. Her mental health was unstable. That was why I brought


    Maya back, tofort Grandma. I didn’t know it’ll bring you harm.”


    “Mia, do you remember what happened in the orphanage? Maya and you came from the same


    orphanage. You should know each other,” asked Eva, who stood next to Mia.


    Mia’s eyes widened at Maya. Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember a thing about the orphanage.


    Did they know each other when they were young?


    Maya giggled. “You can’t remember? We were best friends. Are you going to abandon me now that


    you’re


    the true Ms. Lane?”


    Mia took a few steps back, frowning. “I can’t remember. If we were friends, why did they only adopt you


    but not both of us?”


    Maya’s eyes betrayed guilt. “Because you were adopted before they came.”


    Dominic was furious. “If that was the case, why didn’t you tell us? At the end of the day, it took us


    longer


    to look for Mia!”


    Maya retorted, “How would I know that she was the person you were looking for?” Eva pped Maya.


    “Lies! You lied to us for years! You were trying to rece her.”
