Chapter 126

Connor’s attention shifted from Timothy to Mia lying on the bed, a flicker of suspicion igniting within him.

Could the child be Timothy’s?

Timothy’s recurring involvement with the Lane family women only deepened Connor’s speculations.

Avoiding Connor’s penetrating gaze, Mia pleaded softly, “Please prescribe a fever–reducing medication for me. However, given my condition, there are specific drugs I can’t take. Please be mindful.”

Her hushed plea served as a subtle reminder to Connor about her pregnancy, stressing the need for discretion in Timothy’s presence.

Pushing aside his swirling thoughts, Connor turned to Genevieve, “Prepare the prescription and the necessary medication.”

“Shouldn’t she have an IV drip?” Timothy interjected, shooting a perplexed glance.

Annoyed, Connor replied, “IV drips can sometimes do more harm than good.”

“But her fever is alarmingly high,” Timothy countered.

Meeting Timothy’s challenge with a steely gaze, Connor retorted, “Are you the attending doctor here, or am I? If you think you can handle it better, be my guest.”

Mia’s eyes darted nervously between the two men, silently hoping they wouldn’t escalate the situation.
