Chapter 283

Mia raised her head to see Timothy standing not far from them. His eyes held a dark glint.

Her breathing hitched.

What was Timothy doing here? This was such bad timing.

If Connor saw Timothy, things would go out of control.

The quick–witted Mia yanked Connor’s arm over, preventing him from seeing Timothy in the corridor.

An idea crossed her mind. “Connor, I almost forgot to ask you something. How is Mrs. Barrett Senior doing? Why are you the one examining her today?”

That question caught him off guard and pricked at his guilty conscience. “D–Didn’t I tell you that I have to participate in the surgery because her case is complicated? A surgery such as hers requires an extra set of hands. We can help out immediately in case of emergencies.”

Mia could vaguely remember him saying that. In that case, it was normal for him to show up there.

He let out a wry cough to hide his guilt. “Now that you’ve brought it up. I just remembered that I have a meeting to attend. It’s regarding Mrs. Barrett Senior’s surgery.”

Connor turned and walked away as soon as he finished. Mia’s heart rose to her throat.
