Timothy was eager to find out what Mia had been doing all these years, as well as to learn more about her twins.If Mia had managed to carry the babies back then, they would be approximately the same age as Ginger.In this scenario, Ginger could very well be his daughter, which would explain the successful compatibility test on their first attempt.This couldn't be just a coincidence!Mia's alarm bells rang loudly, and she hastily responded, "You may find it hard to believe, but I suffered from amnesia."Timothy internally scoffed at the cliché excuse."Judging by your expression, you seem skeptical," Mia continued. "That's why I hesitated to mention it earlier. I knew you wouldn't believe me."Timothy furrowed his brows in response. "Please, go ahead.""To be honest, this story feels a bit melodramatic. Back then, I was young and naïve, easily swayed by appearances. I was captivated by my ex's looks and was determined to be with him."However, he turned out to be a scumbag wh
Nonetheless, Mia couldn't bring herself to stay any longer. Ignoring Timothy's words, she swiftly opened the car door and dashed away.Observing her departure, Timothy eventually averted his gaze, leaning back against the seat with his legs spread apart.He loosened his tie, feeling the cool air embrace him.Unable to resist, he reached for a cigarette, taking a deep drag in an attempt to calm the turmoil within him.His eyes wandered to their former marital home nearby, brimming with deep contemplation.…As Mia left in her car, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.However, as she recalled the incident with the little boy, she couldn't shake off the deep embarrassment she felt.Her initial intention had been to playfully tease Timothy, diverting his attention to avoid raising any suspicion on his part, especially at such a critical moment when she wanted to avoid any unexpected complications.However, she hadn't foreseen ending up in a situation so awkward and potentially d
Mia couldn't help but observe Timothy, fully engrossed in his work beside her. His demeanor appeared more mature and handsome than usual.Upon hearing Timothy's mention of the video conference, Mia discreetly positioned herself in the corner without uttering a word, almost as if trying to blend into the background.Timothy's voice turned cold as he addressed the team, "The data is incorrect once again. How was the research conducted? Do you believe we can mislead our clients with such flawed data?"Even if we manage to deceive them temporarily, the final sales figures will reveal the truth. How will we justify this to our clients?"Timothy's tone was stern and commanding, causing the employees to remain silent out of fear of his reprimand.Scanning the room, Timothy continued, "Oh, what a shocker! Not a comment from anyone, huh? If the data submitted tomorrow remains flawed, I expect all of you to tender your resignations and report to HR."One of the employees hesitantly spoke u
Upon hearing Timothy's question, Mia responded cautiously, "Well, I plan to bring Ginger back to Nord City once you're admitted to the hospital.""Tomorrow, then?""Yes, because Ginger also needs to prepare for the bone marrow donation process in the vacuum chamber." As Mia spoke, she couldn't help but notice Timothy's intense gaze fixed on her.Taking a deep breath, she continued, "Mr. Barrett, you're well aware that once Ginger enters the vacuum chamber, her fate hinges on your bone marrow donation. Without it, she faces a grim outcome.""Since you're so skeptical, why not have Ginger undergo her treatment in Bern City? The hospital there also has a vacuum chamber."This way, we can proceed with the treatment in person, and you won't have to worry about me backing out halfway.""No, that's not an option," Mia firmly declined.After all, Ginger couldn't stay in Bern City; it would risk exposing their secret.Timothy's gaze intensified. "Why not?""Because, well, as I've men
"Mia, there's no use pretending any longer."In that instant, Mia felt her heart leap into her throat. Her mind raced as she tried to pinpoint where things had gone wrong.Why would Timothy confront her so abruptly? Had he stumbled upon some incriminating evidence?"Well, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes." Mia forced a smile. "Mr. Barrett, even though I resemble your ex-wife, we are not the same person.""Then how do you explain this?" Timothy took out his phone and swiftly sent a photo to Mia's WhatsApp.Upon opening the message, Mia's breath caught in her throat as she saw a photo of herself and Patricia together in the living room.It appeared that her secret had been exposed.No wonder Timothy had been behaving oddly since yesterday."Mia, do you have any further comments?"Upon glimpsing the photo, Mia casually set her phone aside and remarked, "I don't really have anything to say about it."Timothy leaned back, his gaze penetrating. "Aren't you going t
Mia's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected Timothy to suggest leaving Ginger in Bern City for treatment.It caught Mia completely off guard.Recalling the photo Timothy had just shown her, it became apparent that Timothy must have had suspicions about her identity, prompting him to suggest leaving Ginger in Bern City for treatment.It was clear that he didn't buy her explanation earlier.However, Mia realized it wasn't the right time to confront Timothy, especially considering the risk of him refusing to donate bone marrow if things got heated.She didn't want to escalate the situation any further.After a moment of contemplation, Mia simply nodded and replied, "Okay."Observing Mia's swift agreement, Timothy narrowed his eyes slightly. He had assumed that proposing such a condition would provoke a reaction from her.However, to his surprise, she agreed without hesitation.What kind of scheme was she plotting?Both Mia and Timothy kept their thoughts to themselves. Mia c
"Alright then, let's have dinner together this evening," Mia said, glancing at Timothy with a nuanced expression. "Remember not to overwork yourself. Pursuing wealth endlessly isn't the answer, after all."Timothy squinted slightly, a playful tone in his voice as he said, "Are you actually concerned about me?""Don't you like being cared for, Mr. Barrett?"Despite this, Mia found herself increasingly frustrated. She knew that if Timothy worked overtime, it could potentially delay the bone marrow donation.In truth, Mia couldn't care less about her contemptible ex-husband's well-being!She believed that investing emotional energy in men only led to disappointment.After leaving the restaurant and getting into the car, Heath began to brief Timothy on their work progress. "Mr. Barrett, the folks over at Aide Castle have responded, stating they will consider the collaboration."We've sent over the proposal, but they've mentioned that a decision will only be made after their boss rev
Mia couldn't help but sigh. "Ginger overheard from a nurse that she might lose her hair during the procedure, so she refuses to take injections or medication."Timothy frowned in response. "Does it really cause hair loss?""Yes, it's a potential side effect. As you're aware, she's preparing to enter the vacuum chamber, but she's been having tantrums the entire time. I've been trying to comfort her but without success."Mia managed a bitter smile, looking visibly exhausted.Noticing this, Timothy intervened, "I'll go and have a chat with her."With that, he opened the door and stepped into the ward.Observing his departure, Mia swiftly composed herself before following him into the room.Inside, Ginger was huddled up, tears still lingering in her eyes, her long lashes clumped together from crying.Observing Ginger's distressed expression, Timothy's heart instantly softened. "Why the tears? Are you feeling scared?""I'm not scared at all!" Ginger retorted, stealing a glance at h
