She instinctively glanced toward Timothy, who wore a similarly startled expression, his gaze complicated as he looked at her.

The next moment, Sharon spoke disdainfully, “Huh, it seems that nowadays anyone can just casually claim someone else as their father. What a lack of manners!” Shielding Ginger’s ears, Mia escorted her to the ward’s entrance and passed her over to Peyton. Mustering a smile, Mia remarked, “Ginger, why don’t you go back first?

After her words, Mia closed the door of the hospital room, the smile disappearing from her face instantly.
Turning around, Mia regarded Sharon with a cold gaze. “I've heard that Mr. Barrett's father passed away a long tago. Mrs. Barrett, it must have been quite challenging for you to raise such a burden on your own all these years.” Sharon's expression froze. “Y-you...
