Timothy’s face remained stoic. “Do you believe that divorce is the solution?”

“Well, I intend to convince Grandma to undergo the surgery,” Mia asserted.

Timothy’s eyes narrowed as he inquired, “And how do you plan on doing that?”

Mia hesitated momentarily before replying. “That’s none of your concern.”

At that moment, the hospital room’s door swung open, revealing Martha. “Ms. Mia, Mrs. Barrett Senior wishes to have a conversation with both you and Mr. Barrett. She has matters to discuss.”

Standing close by, Maya interjected with a hopeful smile, “I’ve also come to visit Mrs. Barrett Senior.”

“I regret to inform you that Mrs. Barrett Senior has no intention of seeing you,” Martha responded awkwardly.

A rigid expression settled on Maya’s face. She watched with resentment as Timothy entered the room with Mia.
