Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.

Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.

As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.

Upon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.

Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?"

"He doesn't. Some things are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.

"Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well.

"At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family lineage. But as time passed, my sentiments evolved, and I genuinely wished for his happiness-envisioning him finding love, establishing a family, and embracing a fulfilling life."

After a brief silence, Mia intervened, "You should take some rest now. I'll go speak to Mrs. Barrett and straighten things out."
