Ch. 421..430
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 421--Mia found Timothy’s actions somewhat perplexing: the divorce agreement explicitly stated that he would be required to transfer all his shares to her.
Following Jason’s stipulations, Timothy would essentially be walking away from their marriage without any assets.
Mia couldn’t understand how Timothy could remain so composed in the face of it all!
Timothy reclined in his chair, gazing at Mia. “I’m not feeling rushed at all. Why are you so anxious?” Mia was taken aback. Had she heard him correctly?
She couldn’t help but chuckle in exasperation.
“Timothy, if you’re not feeling pressured, then I’ll simply take this divorce agreement to the Barrett Group’s office tomorrow, and I suppose I’ll assume your role as CEO.” After saying those words, Mia noticed that Timothy showed no signs of anger. Instead, a playful smile appeared on his lips.
“Well, that sounds like a plan. The office workload has been overwhelming lately, and I think it’s about time for me to take a break.
“If you ever have any questions or need assistance with the company’s affairs in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.” Mia felt utterly bewildered.
Advancing abruptly, she grabbed hold of Timothy’s tie, frustration evident in her clenched teeth.” Timothy, are you trying to mess with me?” Timothy sprawled lazily in his chair, his legs casually stretched to one side.
He looked at Mia with a mischievous glint in his eyes. She was nestled in his arms, and he couldn’t help but notice her teary almond–shaped eyes gazing back at him, tinged with a hint of anger.
She embodied a curious blend of fierceness and charm, reminiscent of a wild kitten with sharp claws.
occasionally lashing out unexpectedly.
Timothy’s throat moved slightly, his voice deep as he conceded, “Hmm, you’re showing more wit this time.” He was undoubtedly trying to provoke Mia on purpose.
Furious, Mia couldn’t help but wonder what Timothy’s intentions were.
However, as she raised her head to meet his gaze, his eyes darkened, reflecting the intensity of that absurd night from months ago.
At that moment, Mia felt a surge of warmth spread across her cheeks.
She suddenly became aware of her position, draped across his lap, as if she had inadvertently thrown herself onto him when grabbing his tie just now.
Flushed with embarrassment, Mia attempted to pull away, only to find Timothy’s hands firmly gripping her waist.
The heat emanating from his palms permeated through the thin fabric of Mia’s clothing, causing her entire body to feel tense.
Mia struggled to break free, her face flushed crimson, but Timothy maintained his grip.
As they grappled with each other for a while, Mia couldn’t help but notice the temperature around them rising noticeably.
Feeling a mix of embarrassment and frustration, she exclaimed, “Timothy, what do you think you’re doing? This is a public place!” Despite this, Timothy’s grip on Mia’s wrist tightened, his gaze dark and intense. “We’re still married, aren’t we? There’s nothing wrong with this.” “Don’t forget, I’m pregnant!” Mia retorted.
Was Timothy out of his mind?
As Mia spoke, she couldn’t help but notice Timothy’s expression darken.
Not only did he refuse to release her, but he also seized the back of her head, his thin lips parting with a cold tone.
“I don’t need you to remind me. I’m aware that the child in your belly is a result of your intimacy with another man. Well, that’s fine. It does save us the trouble of using protection now, doesn’t it?” Upon hearing the last sentence, Mia’s lips turned pale. What were Timothy’s intentions?
In the next instant, Mia found herself enveloped in Timothy’s embrace, her legs now straddling his lap.
With her ear pressed against his chest, she could feel the warmth radiating from him, coupled with the strong rhythm of his heartbeat, causing her ears to turn red.
Mia’s entire body rang alarmingly as she struggled to free herself from Timothy’s grasp, but his hands held firm, refusing to release her.
Lowering his head, Timothy fixed his gaze on Mia’s flushed face. His eyes drifted downward, settling on her lips.
Without hesitation, Timothy moved his lips closer, closing the distance between them.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 422-Suddenly, Mia felt something cold sealing her mouth shut, causing her eyes to widen instantly. She couldn’t believe Timothy was kissing her.
In that instant, her mind went blank, and she felt numb all over.
They had been married for three years, and aside from that one accidental encounter, there had been no physical contact between them.
They hadn’t even held hands, let alone kissed, yet here Timothy was, kissing her forcefully.
What was his intention behind this?
As Mia realized the situation, she tried to push Timothy away, but he effortlessly countered her attempts.
Mia’s hands remained pressed against Timothy’s chest, where she could feel the rapid thud of his heartbeat beneath her palms. It seemed to be beating a little faster than usual.
Timothy’s breath grew somewhat ragged, seemingly caught up in the intoxicating sensation of her lips.
Mia felt as though she were in a daze, everything appearing unreal, like a dream.
As her eyes fluttered open, she saw Timothy’s face inching closer; she couldn’t help but notice his nervous demeanor.
“Stop it! What’s going on here?” Maya’s voice suddenly emerged from behind, breaking the tension.
between them.
Upon hearing Maya entering from behind the curtain, Timothy frowned and stopped his advances abruptly.
Seizing the opportunity, Mia shoved him away and quickly retreated a few steps, her eyes wide with disbelief.
A faint pink hue tinged his handsome profile, and the collar of his shirt bore wrinkles from her grip.
His eyes retained their intense darkness, while a subtle gloss adorned his lips.
Mia found herself momentarily captivated by Timothy’s charming appearance. His low, ragged breath echoed in her ears, teasing her nerves ever so slightly.
She couldn’t grasp the fact that Timothy had just forcibly kissed her!
With tears in her eyes, Maya spoke up, “Tim, what were you two doing just now? Did Mia shamelessly initiate the kiss?” Upon hearing Maya’s accusation, Mia burst out laughing in disbelief.
+15 BONUS She couldn’t believe that Maya was suggesting she had made the first move!
Mia’s anger surged instantly as she advanced toward Timothy.
With raised eyebrows, Timothy observed her, his lips displaying a hint of amusement as she drew near.
In the next moment, Mia seized the loosened tie around Timothy’s neck and pressed herself against his chest, glaring defiantly at Maya.
“Regardless of who initiated it, Timothy and I are legally married. Sharing a kiss behind this stage curtain doesn’t constitute indecency. It’s not illegal, is it?” Mia asserted confidently.
Timothy met Mia’s gaze as she held him tightly in her embrace.
Despite feeling a bit uncomfortable with his tie constricting him, he inclined his head slightly, seemingly cooperating with Mia’s gesture and affirming her statement.
Maya was infuriated. “Mia, stop fabricating stories! Timothy would never kiss you!” Mia turned sharply, her gaze meeting Timothy’s with a playful smile. “Darling, Ms. Lane seems skeptical. Why don’t you enlighten her? Perhaps that will dispel her doubts once and for all!” Mia was determined to make things challenging for Maya; she wanted to see how Timothy would explain their kiss to her.
Timothy lowered his gaze, a smile hiding in the depths of his eyes. “I don’t believe explanations would be very convincing.” “Well, what would you like to- Before Mia could complete her sentence. Timothy suddenly interrupted her with a kiss, causing her eyes to widen in disbelief, appearing puzzled by his unexpected gesture.
To Mia’s astonishment, Timothy kissed her once more, right in front of Maya.
Witnessing the scene unfold, Maya was overwhelmed with anger and jealousy, tears streaming down her face as her lips trembled. “How could you… Tim, how could you do this to me?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 423-Maya’s voice, filled with despair and sorrow, echoed in Mia’s ears. She, too, couldn’t believe what was unfolding before her.
Eventually. Timothy pulled away and looked at Mia, whose expression reflected disbelief. A soft chuckle escaped him. “I suppose this explanation was even more convincing,” he remarked.
Mia was left speechless, utterly bewildered by the turn of events.
She gazed at Timothy’s striking, intense features up close, her frustration evident as she clenched her jaw.
In a swift motion, Mia lifted her hand to strike him, but Timothy quickly caught her wrist, his palm radiating warmth against hers.
With a firm hold, Timothy drew Mia into his embrace, pinching her chin as he spoke in a deep voice. Were you about to hit me?” Mia shot back loudly. “And what if I was?” “Well, you could have. Haven’t you heard the saying, “A married couple may quarrel, but they still sleep in the same bed‘?” Timothy teased, releasing Mia’s hand.
His narrow eyes locked onto hers, implying some suggestive insinuation..
Mia’s hand hung suspended midair, her teeth clenched. “You despicable coward!” How dare he make such a threat!
Timothy tilted his head slightly, a smirk forming on his lips. He appeared to be in a rather jovial mood.
At that moment, feeling resentful and disregarded, Maya stepped forward with tearful eyes, confronting Timothy, “Tim, how could you? Did Mia purposely seduce you just now?” Maya never would have imagined that Timothy would initiate a kiss with a woman.
After all, Timothy had always remained aloof, maintaining his distance and never allowing any woman to become close to him.
However, the seemingly unattainable Timothy was now tenderly holding Mia’s face in his hands, gently kissing her with a passion evident in his eyes.
Watching this unfold, Maya was consumed by jealousy.
Why did Mia deserve Timothy’s affection? After all, Maya was a wealthy and influential heiress, renowned for her beauty and opulence. What did Mia, a lowly orphan, possess that Maya didn’t?
As Mia turned around, she noticed Maya crying pitifully, yet she couldn’t muster any sympathy, finding the situation somewhat amusing.
Witnessing Maya’s plight brought back memories of Mia’s own past, where falling in love with a man had once left her shattered.
Ultimately, Mia came to the conclusion that men were not particularly remarkable.
Timothy regarded Maya apathetically, feeling slightly displeased that his kiss with Mia had been interrupted.
Speaking with a cold demeanor, he questioned, “What brings you here?” Mia watched in surprise as she witnessed Maya crying uncontrollably.
Maya appeared taken aback by Timothy’s harsh response, a reaction that even Mia had not anticipated.
Maya was consumed by anger and rendered speechless. Tears streamed down her face, giving her a somewhat pitiful appearance.
Mia couldn’t bear to look at the scene any longer. She turned away and reached for the canvas bag beside her, preparing to leave.
Unable to contain her indignation, Maya forcefully seized Mia’s arm, demanding. “Don’t go. You better explain clearly what’s going on.” “Let go!” Mia exclaimed, refusing to submit to such interrogation. As they struggled, her canvas bag snagged and fell to the ground, spilling its contents.
Among them, a thick file landed directly at Maya’s feet.
The document’s first page bore the title: “Property Settlement Agreement.” As Mia glanced at the document, she realized she had almost forgotten about it.
She reached down to pick it up, but Maya was faster, snatching the divorce papers before Mia could grab them.
Maya’s face lit up with a smug smile as she held the document.
“Mia, despite your convincing acts, it seems you always end up divorced. Are you planning to use the same tactics again, trying to seduce Timothy once more?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 424-With Laura’s surgery completed, Mia’s divorce from Timothy was only a matter of time.
Seeing Maya’s smug expression, Mia’s unease grew.
She smirked back. “Maya, it seems like you haven’t finished reading the document, have you? Let me remind you to take a look at the property settlement section.
“I’m destined to become the wealthiest woman–who needs men anyway?” Mia chuckled.
Maya, still skeptical, turned to the relevant section.
She couldn’t conceal her shock as she read the first clause, which stated that all shares owned by Timothy were to be transferred to Mia.
With a mocking expression, Maya retorted, “Mia, you must be dreaming! How could Tim ever agree to such conditions?” If Timothy were to transfer all the shares of the Barrett Group to Mia, he would end up with no assets. Mia folded her arms and stated firmly, “I’m sorry, but Timothy has already signed the agreement, which means he accepts these divorce terms.” “That can’t be!” Maya exclaimed.
She quickly flipped to the last page and, to her astonishment, found Timothy’s signature there.
Maya’s vision momentarily blurred, and she hurriedly turned to Timothy, clutching the document. “Tim, did you really sign this? Could it be a fake signature? Is Mia trying to deceive you?” Timothy looked down at the document and nodded. “Yes, I signed it,” he confirmed.
“Tim, how could you be so naive? Do you understand the implications of this?” Maya could hardly believe it; the signature on the document was indeed Timothy’s!
It seemed he would be left with nothing now!
Did this mean that if Maya were to marry into the Barrett family in the future, she would also end up without any assets?
It simply didn’t make sense. Everything belonging to the Barretts should rightfully be Maya’s. How could Timothy even contemplate giving his assets to Mia?
Mia’s gaze shifted to Timothy. She, too, wanted to ask him the same question as Maya.
Timothy’s sudden flirtatious behavior caught Mia off guard, preventing her from voicing the question she had in mind. To her astonishment, she was forcefully kissed by him.
+15 BONUS Timothy straightened up and casually replied, “It’s none of your concern.” His dismissive reply left Maya furious, struggling to catch her breath.
Hearing Timothy’s response, Mia was also left speechless. Was Timothy out of his mind?
Looking at the divorce papers in Maya’s hand, Timothy firmly instructed, “Give it back to her.” At first, Mia had no intention of reclaiming the document. However, upon seeing Maya’s furious expression, Mia decided to approach her.
With a wry smile, she remarked, “Would you mind returning that to me, Ms. Lane? This document holds quite some value, you know.” As Mia tried to retrieve it, Maya resisted, saying, “What’s the big deal? The signatures aren’t finalized yet.” With a raised eyebrow, Mia shot back, “Thanks for the reminder. I guess I’ll just have to take it back and sign it for the document to be binding.
“Anyway, I can’t wait to become the first female billionaire. Rest assured, I’ll invite both of you to my celebratory dinner.” Mia’s intentional words felt like needles pricking at Maya’s nerves.
Given Maya’s long standing desire to marry into the Barrett family, could Timothy potentially losing his wealth make her reconsider her decision?
Looking at the divorce papers before her, Maya was determined not to let Mia have her way.
The thought of all the Barrett family’s wealth falling into Mia’s hands was unbearable to her!
Witnessing Maya’s distressed expression, Mia forcefully took the divorce papers from her hands. “Sorry. Ms. Lane, do you mind letting go for a second?” In a quick move, Maya snatched the document and promptly tore it to shreds.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 425-Mia was taken aback as she looked at the shredded papers, marveling at how swiftly Maya had torn through the thick document.
She seemed to be genuinely furious.
With the papers now reduced to fragments, Maya fixed a piercing glare on Mia. “You won’t be able to sign it now,” she stated firmly.
With Mia unable to sign the divorce document, its validity was unquestionably voided.
Mia kept her silence, directing her gaze at Timothy instead. She inquired, “What’s our next step?” Mia understood that she couldn’t intervene directly, but she also discerned that Maya had indirectly presented a solution. With the document torn to shreds, its legal validity was now nullified.
Seeing the hint of satisfaction in Mia’s eyes, Timothy’s smile vanished instantly. Speaking calmly, he remarked, “I have another copy.” Mia was completely shocked by this revelation.
Meanwhile, Maya’s cries grew even louder.
Despite nearly losing her temper, Mia chose to respond with a smile upon noticing Maya’s distressed state.
“That’s wonderful, Mr. Barrett. Just remember to bring it to me next time. I’ll print out another copy sign it for you. Don’t forget, alright?” Upon hearing Mia’s response, Maya panicked momentarily.
wand “Mia, where is your sense of decency? I’ve never known anyone to take everything from their spouse in a divorce. Who do you think you are to leave Timothy with nothing?” Mia raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on Maya. “That’s just how it is. Timothy feels indebted to me, so he has decided to transfer all his assets to my possession.
“He’s concerned about how I’ll manage on my own after our divorce,” Mia commented with a touch of irony.
Observing the jealousy in Maya’s eyes, Mia couldn’t resist teasing, “Oh, Maya, didn’t you once mention how much you liked Timothy?
“Well, now that he’s on the verge of becoming a pauper, that shouldn’t bother you, right?” Maya was caught off guard.
Who would want to marry someone destitute?
Indeed, Maya had tirelessly strived to leave behind her orphan status, eventually securing her position as the heiress of the Lane family.
Her long–standing goal was to marry into an esteemed family and achieve the status of a wealthy and influential young lady.
Nonetheless, Maya was not about to reveal her true feelings. She swiftly countered, “Certainly, it wouldn’t bother me. But what entitles you to take such a large sum of money?” “Because Timothy is willing. Do you have any say in the matter?” With those words, Mia swiftly walked off the stage.
Growing anxious, Maya turned to Timothy, questioning. “Are you honestly going to walk away with nothing and transfer all your assets to Mia?” Maya still couldn’t wrap her head around it!
How could a man act in such a manner? Particularly Timothy, who came from a wealthy lineage and possessed numerous assets. After all, he didn’t exactly build everything from the ground up with Mia.
Simply providing her with some money would have been enough; there was no need to give her all his assets!
With a composed demeanor, Timothy glanced asserted firmly.
Over at Maya. “That is my business, not yours,” he “Tim, please don’t misconstrue my intentions. I’m saying this out of concern for your well–being. If word spreads that all your shares are going to Mia, it will undoubtedly impact the Barrett Group’s stock price.
“Besides, you could simply offer her some cash and perhaps one of your many properties: given Mia’s background as an orphan, she’ll never be able to exhaust all that wealth in her lifetime.
“Is there really a necessity to hand over all your assets to her?” Timothy chose not to respond to Maya’s question. Instead, he turned away and left the stage.
Now, only Maya remained. As she gazed at the torn papers on the ground, her expression turned bitter.
Regardless, Maya was determined not to let Mia have her way.
After regaining her composure, Maya took out her phone and made a call.
“Hello, Mrs. Barrett? I hope I’m not disturbing you. Do you remember my recent trip to Nord City? I picked up some beauty and skincare supplements especially for you. I’ll drop them off for you later.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 426-As Maya ended the call, she became more determined than ever to thwart Mia’s plans.
With Sharon’s assistance, Maya was confident she could stop Mia’s schemes.
Meanwhile, Mia had just left the hall. She couldn’t help but feel a surge of optimism.
Maya’s initial reaction had been priceless; her final act of tearing up the divorce agreement had unexpectedly played into Mia’s hands.
At that moment. Kennedy approached Mia. “Mia, how did your discussion with Mr. Barrett go? Did he have any opinions on the design of the hall?” After a brief pause, Mia responded firmly, “He assured me that everything is in order and didn’t raise any objections.” Even though Mia hadn’t had the opportunity to question Timothy earlier, she was certain he wouldn’t be concerned about such trivial matters. It appeared there was no need for any inquiries at all.
Moments after she spoke, Mia was startled to hear Timothy’s deep voice behind her, saying, “When have I ever said such a thing?” Surprised, Mia turned to see Timothy emerging. Wasn’t he supposed to clarify matters with Maya?
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
In an attempt to ease the tension, Kennedy interjected. “Mr. Barrett, do you have any thoughts to share?” Timothy approached slowly, his gaze shifting toward Mia, who kept her head bowed. His lips parted slightly as he remarked, “Well, I believe Mia has some thoughts about me.” Upon hearing this, Mia clenched her teeth in frustration. With a forced smile, she responded, “I just assumed Mr. Barrett’s silence meant he had no objections.” “If I hadn’t spoken up, couldn’t you have asked?” Mia was taken aback. What was Timothy trying to say?
As Mia raised her gaze, she noticed the mischievous sparkle in Timothy’s eyes.
She immediately understood that he was teasing her on purpose. She calmly replied. “Isn’t that exactly what I’m doing now?” Timothy surveyed the arrangement of the hall before directing his attention to the center of the stage.
“It looks like there’s a problem with the stage decoration. That curtain over there seems overly excessive and out of place.” “What’s so excessive about it? This setup perfectly complements the theme.” Sensing Timothy’s critical eye, Mia approached the edge of the stage to inspect the drapery. Upon closer examination, it seemed acceptable to her.
Standing nearby, Kennedy found himself in a dilemma. Who would have anticipated discord between this married couple?
Riley, too, caught on quickly and exchanged a knowing glance with Mia.
Given Timothy’s status as the university’s main investor, making a slight adjustment to ensure his satisfaction wouldn’t hurt.
Approaching Mia, Timothy suggested, “Why don’t you open the curtain and see how it looks?” Mia furrowed her brow. “The stage effect is designed to sync with that machine. Once it’s activated, it’s a one–time use, and we’d have to replace it for the next occasion.
“These gadgets aren’t cheap; they cost a hundred grand each.” Timothy raised an eyebrow. “After investing so much, is another hundred thousand really a big deal?” “You invested?” Mia had been aware that all the equipment and materials in the hall were sponsored by external companies, but she hadn’t realized Timothy was behind it.
Timothy remained composed as he stated, “You’re welcome to open the curtain and see the effect. I’ll take care of the cost.” “Alright, since Timothy is willing to pay, why not give it a try?” Mia pondered.
In reality, Mia was only assuming based on past experiences; she hadn’t yet observed the stage effects of this particular design.
On the other hand, Kennedy was thrilled and quickly arranged for the stage effect to be demonstrated.
Soon, the hall was filled with music. As the stage curtain rose, Mia watched her design come to life; she couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
A few minutes later, the opening stage effect came to a close.
Mia paused for a moment, contemplating. “You know, the curtain does seem a bit much. Let’s have it removed.” As Mia arranged for the curtain to be removed, she was suddenly overcome with nausea. Rushing to a nearby trash can, she began to throw up.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 427-Mia felt as if she were purging everything from her stomach.
Could it be caused by something she ate for lunch?
As Mia paused, a bottle of mineral water was offered to her. She couldn’t help but notice Timothy’s long. elegant fingers as he handed it over.
Mia didn’t hesitate to take the water, quickly opening it and having a few sips, which instantly revitalized her.
However, she felt some discomfort and gently touched her lower abdomen, unable to pinpoint the cause but sensing that something was wrong.
wrong?” Furrowing his brow, Timothy glanced at Mia’s stomach. “What’s wro “It’s nothing serious, just feeling a bit nauseous from the greasy meal I had earlier.” Mia didn’t think her nausea was a major concern, as she had been managing her pregnancy quite well, with only occasional morning sickness.
As she prepared to leave. Timothy held her wrist, his gaze intense. “You should go to the hospital for a check–up,” he said firmly.
Mia looked at him, surprised by his sudden concern, and subtly moved her hand away. “It’s not a big deal; there’s no need to go to the hospital.” But Timothy stepped in front of her, his tone tinged with annoyance. “Don’t you realize your current condition? What if there’s a problem? Are you able to manage it?” Timothy frowned. It seemed to him that Mia, as a pregnant woman, lacked self–awareness.
Timothy understood the delicate nature of pregnancy, knowing that any lack of care could result in serious complications. He was aware of the risks involved in childbirth.
Mia was about to decline, but Kennedy interjected. “You’ve really been pushing yourself these past few days, Mia.
“Since everything here is almost set up, perhaps you should just listen to Mr. Barrett and go to the hospital. It’ll ease his worry.” Mia couldn’t fathom why Timothy would be concerned about her.
It appeared that Kennedy’s actions were solely aimed at pleasing Timothy.
Timothy’s demeanor also became slightly uneasy, causing an instant shift in the atmosphere between them.
Feeling uncomfortable, Mia turned away and responded, “It’s fine. I’m just experiencing a slight stomach.
ache from lunch.” She was reluctant to go to the hospital just because of a mere morning sickness, fearing the embarrassment it might bring.
With that, Mia began to depart, yet after only a few steps, her vision blurred, and her legs faltered beneath her.
Just as Mia was on the brink of falling. Timothy caught her with his broad arms.
Straining to open her eyes, Mia glimpsed Timothy’s handsome profile, his features distinguished and appealing.
Mia found herself incapable of speaking, overwhelmed by a pervasive weakness that eventually caused her to lose consciousness.
Timothy lifted her tenderly, swiftly leaving the hall.
As he settled Mia into the car, he urgently instructed, “Proceed to the hospital at once. Notify the ob–gyn to prepare for an immediate examination.” With that, Timothy bowed his head, gazing at the unconscious Mia in his embrace, noting her somewhat pale complexion.
He kicked Rodger’s seat and firmly instructed, “Drive faster!” With determination, Rodger sped toward the hospital.
Dr. Dakota Hudson stood by the hospital’s entrance, waiting for their arrival.
As Timothy carried Mia out of the car, Sky hastily approached him. “Mr. Barrett, as doctors and all the required equipment are on standby.” Timothy’s expression remained stoic as he inquired, “Where is the operating room?” “On the third floor,” Kennedy confirmed.
you requested, the He stood by, feeling helpless as he watched Timothy carry Mia toward the elevator, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Kennedy was perplexed by Timothy’s actions but hesitated to voice his confusion.
Heath quickly approached and caught up with Timothy. “Mr. Barrett, it would be faster to use a gurney.
This way, the doctors and nurses can examine Ms. Bowen promptly.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 428-Upon hearing Heath’s suggestion, Timothy’s tone sharpened. “Where’s the gurney?” Sky promptly directed a nurse to fetch it. Timothy gently laid Mia onto the gurney and then turned to Sky. “She’s pregnant: she fainted after vomiting.” he elaborated.
Due to his initial haste. Timothy had overlooked the quicker option of utilizing a gurney.
Having regained his composure, he promptly detailed Mia’s symptoms to Dakota.
Sky’s attention was immediately captured after learning about Mia’s pregnancy. “Mr. Barrett, you can trust us to prioritize the safety of both mother and child.” “This is critical. Should anything happen to her, it could lead to serious consequences for your hospital.” Timothy observed as the gurney was swiftly wheeled into the operating room for examination.
He removed his suit jacket, loosening his tie as sweat dampened his back.
Standing outside the operating room, Timothy’s gaze shifted to the blinking red light.
Unable to suppress his curiosity any longer, he turned to Heath and asked, “Is childbirth truly as risky for women as people claim?” Heath nodded solemnly. “I had a cousin who encountered a blood clot complication during childbirth. It felt like a battle against death during the rescue operation.
“My cousin’s mother–in–law objected to the cost of the surgery, unwilling to spend such a large amount of money just for her to have a child.” Upon hearing this, Timothy pursed his lips. “Your cousin’s mother–in–law sounds truly reprehensible.” “Yeah, that’s true. That’s why pregnancy is incredibly daunting for women. I never fully understood it until now, but seeing my cousin’s experience has truly highlighted how perilous it can be.” Timothy grew quiet, his thoughts drifting into contemplation.
-hild into the Faced with the risks of childbirth. Timothy started pondering whether bringing Mia’s unborn child world was the right decision.
After all, if circumstances didn’t turn out as expected, he could always consider the option of adopting a child later on.
Before long, Dakota emerged from the operating room. “Are Mia’s family members present?” she inquired.
Timothy stepped forward. “That would be me.” +15 BLNIUSA “You must be Mia’s husband, right? Mia has been experiencing extreme tiredness lately due to the stress she’s been under, which has resulted in poor nutrition and low blood sugar levels.
As her spouse and the father of her twins, it’s imperative that you prioritize caring for Mia’s well–being and take on additional household responsibilities during this time.” Timothy found himself at a loss for words.
Noticing Timothy’s displeasure, Sky hurried over to alleviate the tension.
“Mr. Barrett, Dr. Hudson is the most esteemed doctor here, though she can be somewhat straightforward. However, her heart’s in the right place.” Timothy managed to control his frustration and turned to Dakota. “Will Mia be okay?” “Mia and the babies are currently stable, but if this persists, there could be complications,” Dakota explained.
She added, “Mia is also mildly anemic and lacking calcium. Please ensure she receives appropriate supplementation.” Timothy clenched his jaw as he contemplated Mia’s tireless efforts in decorating the university hall over the past few days, a sense of guilt creeping over him.
Shortly after, Mia was brought out, still asleep on the gurney.
Timothy accompanied her to the private hospital room, stealing a glance at Heath by his side.
His voice carried a hint of tension as he instructed, “Please ensure the necessary arrangements are made according to Dr. Hudson’s instructions.” Heath placed Mia’s canvas bag on the bedside table before leaving the room. Timothy lingered beside the bed, watching over Mia as she slept.
Despite her lips retaining a slight paleness, her complexion showed a significant improvement from before.
Suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone emanated from Mia’s canvas bag.
Timothy glanced in its direction and impulsively reached out to check. The caller ID displayed: “Claudie.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 429-Upon seeing the caller ID displaying “Claudie“. Timothy’s brow furrowed in confusion. Who could Claudie possibly be?
He continued to stare at Mia’s phone which was ringing persistently.
Unable to resist any longer. Timothy eventually picked up the phone.
Claude’s voice greeted him from the other end, “Mia, I’m at the university entrance. Have your lectures. finished? I’m waiting for you outside.” Upon hearing a male voice. Timothy’s demeanor immediately turned cold. “She doesn’t need you to wait for her.” “Who is this?” As Timothy answered the call, Claude’s expression darkened. “Let’s keep this conversation civil. Maybe you should let Mia go first. Whether you’re after money or want to discuss terms, that’s your call.” Timothy was taken aback. He had never been in need of money before.
His lips pressed together into a thin line. “That’s something I should be saying. In the future, perhaps your and your family should stay away from Mia. Otherwise, don’t expect me to be forgiving.” With that, Timothy hung up the phone.
Claude was left perplexed, trying to make sense of the situation.
Could Mia have been kidnapped again?
Claude panicked as he called Jason, “Jason, it’s serious. Mia might be in danger again.” “What’s the matter? Tell me everything.
Claude nervously recounted his phone conversation, his words slightly stuttering. “Guess who picked up the call? He sounded incredibly arrogant! But if I remember correctly, isn’t Felix stillin custody?” Jason paused for a moment before speaking, “Do you have a recording of the phone call? If you do, could you please let me listen to the voice? I might be able to identify the person.” Claude quickly forwarded the recording and called Jason again, unable to contain his impatience. “Have you listened to it? Who was the caller?” “If my memory serves me right, it sounded like Timothy,” Jason replied.
Claude paused, taken aback at the mention of Timothy’s name. “Timothy Barrett? The son of Bern City’s richest man? Isn’t he the guy Maya, the phony heiress, was talking about marrying?” “Yes, that’s him.” Jason confirmed.
Claude clenched his teeth in frustration. “You heard what Timothy just said, right? That’s not something a regular guy would say.
“He definitely has ulterior motives toward Mial And now he’s even got Mia in his hands.” “I see your point. But if Mia is with Timothy, at least she should be safe. I’ll handle it, so don’t worry,” Jason reassured.
“Why shouldn’t I be concerned? Mia is my sister too, you know. Why do I sense there’s something you’re not telling me? Is there a history between Mia and Timothy?” Claude, being the rogue he was, had a sharp instinct for such matters.
Timothy’s warning to stay away from Mia only heightened Claude’s suspicion that there was more to their relationship than met the eye.
Claude was eager for answers, but Jason remained silent, unwilling to disclose anything.
The more Claude dwelled on the situation, the more unsettled he became.
He was aware that Mia had worked as a caretaker for Laura in the Barrett residence, a role that essentially reduced her to that of a maid in such affluent households.
But what could possibly blossom between a lowly maid and an heir to a wealthy family?
Regardless of the outcome, Mia would inevitably bear the brunt of it all.
Claude clenched his teeth in anger. If Timothy did harm Mia, he swore he wouldn’t let Timothy get away with it!
In the lavish hospital room, Mia slowly regained consciousness.
She blinked against the harsh light from the ceiling, slowly taking in her surroundings.
Instinctively, she reached for her belly, wondering where her babies were.
Could Timothy have instructed the doctors to perform an abortion without her consent?
“What are you searching for?” Timothy’s deep voice suddenly echoed.
Looking up, Mia found Timothy by the window and asked anxiously. “Where are my babies? Did you do something to them?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 430-Observing Mia’s disbelief. Timothy became somewhat irritated. Was this how she perceived him?
Raising his gaze, Timothy retorted, “Well, what else do you expect? It’s not like the babies are mine. Why would I want to keep them?” Upon hearing his words, Mia felt utterly dumbstruck. Lowering her head, she stared at her belly, tears streaming down her face.
Were her babies gone?
Observing Mia’s tears, Timothy regretted his jest, realizing it had gone too far. “Please, don’t cry-” But before he could finish, Mia suddenly sprang from the bed and charged toward him. “Timothy, I’ve had enough of this!” Alarmed by her sudden movement and concerned she might harm herself, Timothy swiftly pushed his laptop aside and moved to catch her.
However, in the next instant, Mia firmly seized his neck.
She flipped over and straddled Timothy, her hands squeezing his neck tightly. With her babies gone, she was determined to make him pay!
Timothy’s throat ached with pain, yet he refrained from forcefully pushing Mia away. Frowning, he battled through the discomfort, coughing as he managed to say, “Let go of me!” “I won’t! Timothy, you’re a murderer!” Mia exclaimed.

Just then, the hospital room door swung Dakota and Genevieve, stepping in for their rounds, were taken aback by the sight unfolding before them.
Mia was straddling Timothy on the small sofa by the window, their embrace tight and intimate.
The scenario was undoubtedly ambiguous, leaving room for misinterpretation.
Dakota’s brow furrowed. “What’s going on here?” Upon hearing Dakota’s voice, Mia gradually released her grip. However, her body remained tense, and she found herself pulled into Timothy’s arms.
She forcefully pushed Timothy away, not wanting any contact with him.
Timothy remained composed. “Let’s not make a scene. People are watching.” Mia was caught off guard.
With a serious expression, Dakota addressed Mia. “How could you behave like this in a hospital, especially considering you’re pregnant, and with twins?” Mia was stunned, staring at Dakota in disbelief. “Are you saying… my babies are okay?” “Yes, they’re still here. Mr. Barrett was quite adamant when he brought you in. If we couldn’t ensure the safety of your babies, it would jeopardize the hospital’s reputation.
“So, rest assured, both you and your twins are safe.” As these words settled in, Mia stared at Timothy in disbelief.
She had anticipated Timothy pushing for an abortion, but instead, he had instructed the doctors to prioritize the safety of her babies.
Mia realized she had misunderstood Timothy’s intentions.
Leaning back in his chair, Timothy looked at her calmly. “So, do you understand now?” Mia belatedly realized and asked, “Why did you intentionally say that then?” “What did I say? Wasn’t it simply a misunderstanding on your part?” Mia was furious, fighting the urge to slap Timothy.
Blushing, she pulled away from Timothy’s embrace. With the knowledge that her babies were safe, her composure returned.
Dakota cautioned sternly, “Your heightened hormones may trigger sexual urges, but it’s crucial to exercise discretion, particularly in a hospital setting.” Mia’s cheeks turned crimson, her words stumbling out. “I–It’s not what you’re thinking.” Timothy deliberately retorted. “But I didn’t resist at all.” Dakota gave him a meaningful look. “As a spouse, it’s important for you to familiarize yourself with these matters. Allowing your wife to act recklessly can have detrimental effects on the babies.” Timothy cleared his throat before asking. “Where can I find more information about it?” ”
