Meet My Protective Brothers Chapter 493

After leaving the Music School, Mia still couldn't shake off the nervousness.

Grabbing Maya's hair was an act of impulse.

No matter how she thought about it, Mia still concluded that she was too impulsive.

Still, she couldn't deny that it did let her steam off. Every time she met Maya, the latter always put on a haughty attitude.

After doing some revision at college, she checked the time and headed to the hospital by cab.

When she stood outside Laura's room, mixed feelings churned in her stomach.

Laura was the reason Timothy didn't want a divorce.

However, a child was bound to be unhappy if they grew up in a loveless family. Therefore, Mia must leave.

Since Timothy had never expected a child, she was afraid that the child would experience the same thing she did during those three years; to receive cold treatment and to be disregarded.

Taking a deep breath, she entered the room. "Grandma, I'm here. How are you feeling?"

"So far so good. I can wander two laps of the place downstairs at night. I think I'll be able to be discharged soon."

Laura did seem better and Mia was glad to see that.

During their lunch together, Laura said considerately, "Once you finish your exams, you should rest at home for a while. After the delivery, you can ask Timothy for a position if you want to work. Right now, your health is more important."

"Sorry, Grandma. I actually lied to you." Mia dropped her gaze.

Silence hung in the air.

Laura let down her hand. "About your pregnancy, isn't it?"

Mia's eyes darted to Laura.

But all she could do was stay silent. At this point, she couldn't admit that the pregnancy was real.

A while later, Laura sighed. "I was hoping for that to happen with all my heart. I thought I could see my grandchild soon."

"I'm sorry, Grandma." Mia felt guilty for lying to Laura again.

Laura pulled Mia's hand. "Is there anything else that you want to tell me?"

Mia pursed her lips. "I found my family."

"Really? That's good news! I was worried about you because you're alone. I'm so glad to hear that. How are your parents? Are they nice to you?"

"My biological parents have passed away, but I have three brothers. They're nice to me."

The moments spent with her brothers gave her the warm affection she had long lost.

"Where are they from?"

"Nord City."

Laura fell silent at that answer, her hand still holding Mia's. "So you decided to return to Nord City, is that right?"

"Yes." Mia nodded. "Once I settle down, I'll make sure to visit you frequently in the future."

Laura sighed. "My plan was to make you stay by my side. I see you as my granddaughter. Too bad Timothy isn't that lucky. I wonder who'll be that lucky man."

Mia was bewildered to hear that. "You knew?"

"You think your acting can deceive me? I thought both of you would get along well since you were pregnant. But since the pregnancy was fake and you've found your family, I figure that there's no way to make you stay."

In the face of Laura's optimism, Mia couldn't fight back her tears anymore.

Laura wiped her tears off. "When are you going to sign the divorce papers?"

Mia shook her head.

Laura continued, "Not you, I'm asking that brat standing by the door."
