Timothy''s brows furrowed. "Where are my secretary and bodyguard?" "After you arrived at the hospital


    yesterday, everyone who apanied you left. They didn''t settle the medical fees or provide any


    contact details," the nurse exined.


    “That''s impossible,” Timothy retorted.

    A sense of unease washed over him. His staff wouldn''t leave without a valid exnation.


    Instinctively, he reached under his pillow, but his phone was nowhere to be found.


    His phone was supposed to be in Heath''s possession, yet both Heath and Joe were conspicuously


    absent.


    Timothy had a strong suspicion about who might be responsible for this situation.


    It appeared that the Lane family would stop at nothing to get rid of him. This was Timothy''s first


    experience with such a predicament. However, he responded calmly, saying, "Once I''m able to contact


    them, they''ll handle the medical expenses. Please rest assured, I won''t postpone the payment.”


    Mia stood silently beside them, her thoughts echoing Timothy''s suspicions that Heath and Joe had


    probably been abducted on ude''s orders.


    It seemed the goal was to leave Timothy isted and vulnerable in the hospital.


    "I apologize, sir, but due to numerous prior incidents, we require your family to settle the medical


    expenses immediately, or we''ll be forced to discharge you."


    Upon hearing this, Timothy suddenly shifted his gaze toward Mia, who stood by the door.


    Feeling Timothy''s scrutiny, Mia found herself ovee with unease. "She''s my family,” Timothy


    asserted.


    "Can I leave now?" Mia wondered silently to herself.


    As she stood by the door, her unease intensified at Timothy''s words.


    It seemed Timothy was trying to deceive the hospital staff.


    With a solemn tone, Mia addressed him, "Mr. Barrett, you can''t just manipte your words. Since when


    did I be your family?" Timothy responded earnestly, "You''re my girlfriend, isn''t that considered


    family?"


    "But we ended things on the ne.”


    "I didn''t agree to it, so as far as I''m concerned, we''re still together." Mia couldn''t help but grit her teeth


    in frustration. Timothy was truly insufferable!


    With a frustrated expression, Mia turned to the nurse and asserted, "Even if I am his girlfriend, I am not


    his family member. You can''t demand money from me!"


    Upon recognizing Mia, the doctor quickly adopted a more amodating demeanor. “Ms. Lane, we


    trust your word," he assured. The nurse echoed, "Absolutely. In today''s society, there are far too many


    gold diggers trying to elevate their status by exploiting influential women. Ms. Lane, rest assured, we


    won''t take his ims seriously!" Timothy, who had grown up ustomed to wealth and privilege, had


    never before endured such belittlement.


    He had never envisioned a day when others would perceive him as a gold digger.


    It was an insult beyondprehension for him!


    Clenching his teeth, Timothy eximed, "Mia, do you really think I''m the type of person they''re


    describing? Please, exin to them who I truly am!"


    Mia rolled her eyes and replied calmly, "People often hide their true intentions, so how am I supposed


    to know yours? I made it clear on the ne that our rtionship was over, so please stop bothering


    me. "Yet, you intentionally approached my brothers and ended up in a confrontation. Who''s to me


    for that?"


    The nurse nodded vigorously. "Exactly as I suspected. He must be the type to harass Ms. Lane. And


    now, he can''t even cover his medical bills and wants to postpone payment!"


    Timothy''s anger surged at the nurse''s words.


    Could the CEO of the prestigious Barrett Group truly be short of such a trivial amount of money?


    Observing his reaction, Mia interjected, "Alright, I''ll perform a charitable act today and cover his medical


    expenses. Let''s call it even from now on!"


    Timothy''s expression hardened. "I refuse to break up!"


    The doctor intervened firmly, stating, “Your medical expenses have already been taken care of, so


    please refrain from overstepping your boundaries.


    "Ms. Lane, you''re truly a kind-hearted and beautiful person. When ites to choosing a boyfriend in


    the future, please be discerning and avoid getting entangled with losers."
