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.

Mia felt the weight of Maya’s intense gaze on her as she entered the hospital room. Nonetheless, she couldn’t let herself be distracted by it.

She held Laura’s cold hands gently. “Grandma, are you feeling any better today?” she asked, her voice tinged with concern.

In an attempt to lighten the heavy atmosphere, Laura replied with humor, “I might be under the weather, but I’m far from knocking on death’s door,” though her pale complexion hinted at her frail condition.
