Chapter 572

Why did Timothy want to disturb Mia’s mental state at such a critical moment?

Shortly afterward, Mia thought she heard the doorbell ring.

She snapped awake, unable to shake the thought that Timothy might have arrived.

Mia quickly opened her bedroom door, only to find Patricia heading toward the entrance. “Who’s knocking at this late hour?”

“Aunt Patricia-” Mia wanted to intervene, but it appeared to be too late.

As the door opened, Mia noticed Timothy standing outside.
