Mia felt the firm grip of Timothy’s hand, causing her expression to turn somewhat awkward.

She contemplated pulling her hand back, but Laura steadfastly held their hands together.

“If anything were to happen to me during this surgery, both of you must take care of each other.

“With a child on the way, life can’t go back to how it was before.” Laura uttered, as though entrusting them with her last wishes.

Upon hearing Laura’s words, Mia found herself overwhelmed with emotion. “Grandma, you’ll be okay. After all, you still need to witness the birth of our child.”

Laura smiled contentedly. “Yes, I will witness the birth of this child with my own eyes.”

Mia’s throat tightened slightly. Though everyone assumed she faked her pregnancy to convince Laura to undergo surgery, only she knew the truth–the pregnancy was real.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of mockery appeared in Mia’s eyes.
