Mia relaxed a little after finding out she’d made it to the finals. Then, she threw
herself into preparing her designs for the final round. This time, she had to win first
place.
When she was almost done, she received a call from the hospital. “Am I speaking to
Ms. Mia Bowen? It’s time for you to come to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.”

Mia placed a hand on her belly. She’d almost forgotten that she was pregnant. She
Patricia about this–she knew Patricia wouldn’t agree to her
keeping the baby. She decided to go for the prenatal checkup alone.
When Mia stepped out of her room, she saw Liam standing on the balcony. He was
on the phone with someone. He hurriedly hung up when he saw her. “Where are you
going, Mia? I’ll go with you.”

“Nah, it’s nothing important. One of the shows I was in is gonna start promoting
soon, so they want me to make an appearance. I’m just a side character, so it doesn’t
matter whether I’m present. It’s just that the main actor can’t make it, so they need
me to go in his stead.”
Mia thought about it, then said, “I’m meeting a friend, so you should go do your
thing. I’m an adult; I don’t need you guys to watch over me all the time.”
Over the past few days, her brothers and cousins had taken turns accompanying her at home while
she slaved away at her designs. While it moved her, she hadn’t forgotten that they were from Nord City.
Their lives and work were based there, so she’d told them to return. Now, Liam was the only one left
with her.
He caressed her on the head. “I’ll be at Centura Mall for the event, then. Call me if

anything comes up.”
Liam would love nothing more than to spend time with Mia, but he was also worried
she’d get sick of him. Eva had told them they couldn’t be overenthusiastic; it would
make them seem fake.
“Okay. Bye, Liam.”
After bidding Liam farewell, Mia took a cab to the hospital. During the prenatal
checkup, the doctor smiled and said, “Everything looks fine. The baby’s doing very
well. Remember to take your folic acid and vitamins.”
“Thanks, doc.”
Mia exited the room with her folic acid. She held a piece of paper–it was a
pregnancy report, and it represented her baby.
“What are you doing here, Mia?”
Mia looked up to see a well–dressed middle–aged woman standing before her. It was
Sharon.
Mia’s heart leaped to her throat when she saw Sharon. She quickly lowered her
hand to hide the pregnancy report. She hadn’t expected to run into Sharon here.
After all, rich women like her generally went to private hospitals.

Sharon strode over to her, looking appraising. “What are you doing here, Mia? And at
the gynecology department too. Are you pregnant?”
“No, my period’s just out of whack. I came to see a doctor to regulate it.”
There was no way Mia would let Sharon know she was pregnant. Otherwise, she
wouldn’t ever be able to leave Timothy.
Besides, Timothy wouldn’t want the baby, and Sharon only wanted Maya as her daughter–in–law. Mia’s
baby was destined to be an unwanted child–that was why she would do anything to protect it.
She gulped before starting to spout nonsense. “Anyway, your son can’t get anyone pregnant. What
would be the use of me seeing any doctor? Why else do you think I
haven’t had a child despite being us being married for three years?
“I was willing to help him cover up the truth in the past, but I don’t need to continue
doing that now that we’re getting divorced. Timothy can’t even get it up!”
“Ha! Do you think I’d believe you? You’re obviously lying. Show me what you’re
holding!”
Mia looked calm on the outside, but her heart was practically jumping out of her
chest. She couldn’t let Sharon see the pregnancy report!
