Chapter 286

Connor nodded. “I’m not the only person involved in this surgery. I hope you guys can cooperate with me.”

The casual conversation lasted a few moments before the crowd dispersed from the meeting

room.

Connor was planning to leave when Timothy’s steely voice resounded from behind. “Dr. Lane, wait up.”

Connor pursed his lips at that. He turned around begrudgingly and looked at Timothy coldly.” Anything?

Timothy marched a few steps forward. It was a face–to–face confrontation where no one intended to back off.

A moment later, Timothy broke the silence. “Dr. Lane, I’m grateful that you’re willing to perform the surgery for my grandmother. But I hope you can keep a safe distance from Mia. She’s still my

wife.”

“She’s your wife? How shameless of you. The divorce procedure will take place after the surgery, right?”

Timothy narrowed his eyes. “I didn’t say that before.”

“Are you going to go against your word, Timothy Barrett?” Connor grabbed Timothy by the collar with a cold expression. “If there isn’t a surgery the day after tomorrow, I would’ve punched you in the face right now!”

As a doctor, he should take care of his hands all the time, especially when he has a complicated surgery to perform two days later.

Nothing should happen to his hands. That was why he held himself back instead of going berserk when he saw Timothy.

This bastard regretted the decision to divorce!

Timothy stayed at his place. “Same here. I’ve put up with you for a long time.”

“Well, well. Let’s have a proper fight after the surgery. The one who loses has to leave!”

Mia happened to arrive outside the meeting room at that time, witnessing the dispute going on.

She barged into the room. “Stop it right now!”
