"Mia, if you can't remember, then don't dwell on it. It's not something positive anyway. But don't worry too much, even if the worst happens, your brothers are here to support you. Right now, our priority is getting the bone marrow to the hospital. Sagey is waiting for us."Mia refrained from further discussion, her mind occupied with Sage waiting in the vacuum chamber.She had warned Timothy earlier not to disembark from the plane while her brothers were still there, but he stubbornly insisted on tempting fate.Perhaps Claude could teach Timothy a lesson and help him understand the harsh reality.If Timothy were to run into Dominic later, even without a fatal outcome, he might still end up with serious injuries.An hour later, they arrived at the hospital.Mia entered, carrying the box containing the bone marrow. Nicholas, clad in a white coat, approached her swiftly. "Did you bring back the bone marrow?""Yes, I brought it back. It's inside." "Pass it to me. We'll conduct te
Rachel suffered from a rare disease similar to Sage's, preventing her from leading a normal life.While Sage's condition was somewhat more manageable, stemming from various complications due to premature birth, Rachel's illness presented greater challenges due to its rarity.Nonetheless, Rachel had grown accustomed to her condition.As she looked at Sage, a hint of excitement painted her expression."Finally, Sage can receive treatment. I thought he would be pestering me in the lab for the rest of my life. Once he's treated, he'll probably want to leave quickly. Kids can be quite a handful."Unfazed, Sage retorted, "Who wants to stick around here anyway?"Observing their playful banter, Mia could discern the strong bond between Rachel and Sage. With a smile, she said to Rachel, "I believe things will improve one day.""I'm optimistic too. I've been researching a new medication lately that I'm confident will cure my illness.""I'm certain it will."Mia was aware that despite Ra
Observing the injury on Claude's face, Mia was overcome by a sense of unease.It seemed evident that Claude and Timothy had engaged in a scuffle. Mia couldn't shake off her concern for Timothy's well-being at that moment.Noticing Claude's injury, Eva asked, "Claude, how did you get hurt? Did you get into a fight with someone?"Mia's heart raced with anticipation as she waited for Claude's response. She, too, was curious about what had transpired during the altercation.Claude seemed a bit uneasy, taking a moment before replying, "Oh, it's nothing. I just accidentally bumped into something."Mia's expression shifted to one of surprise upon hearing Claude's response.She was surprised he didn't mention Timothy. Was it because he knew Dominic was present?With Connor now in the medical facility supervising Sage's treatment, only Mia and Claude were aware that Timothy had arrived in Nord City with her.However, it seemed improbable that this was the reason for Claude's silence abo
Peyton replied: "I don't think so."Upon hearing that Timothy's injuries weren't life-threatening, Mia let out a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't lose his life, it wasn't too serious of a matter.Reflecting on Timothy's altercation, Mia couldn't suppress the hint of amusement creeping up to her. She had advised him against leaving the plane with her, but he ignored her warning. Now, he was facing the consequences.The next morning, Mia headed straight to the hospital after breakfast.She couldn't possibly miss such a golden opportunity to add insult to injury, could she?Upon entering the hospital ward, Mia spotted Timothy lying in the bed, dressed in patient attire and sporting bandages on his head and hands.Mia cleared her throat and approached Timothy, trying to suppress her laughter. "Mr. Barrett, how are you feeling now? Have you learned your lesson?"Timothy instinctively looked up at the sound of her voice, his expression turning somewhat awkward.This was undoubted
Timothy's brows furrowed. "Where are my secretary and bodyguard?""After you arrived at the hospital yesterday, everyone who accompanied you left. They didn't settle the medical fees or provide any contact details," the nurse explained."That's impossible," Timothy retorted.A sense of unease washed over him. His staff wouldn't leave without a valid explanation.Instinctively, he reached under his pillow, but his phone was nowhere to be found.His phone was supposed to be in Heath's possession, yet both Heath and Joe were conspicuously absent.Timothy had a strong suspicion about who might be responsible for this situation.It appeared that the Lane family would stop at nothing to get rid of him.This was Timothy's first experience with such a predicament. However, he responded calmly, saying, "Once I'm able to contact them, they'll handle the medical expenses. Please rest assured, I won't postpone the payment."Mia stood silently beside them, her thoughts echoing Timothy's su
Timothy's expression immediately darkened. "Who do you think you're calling a loser?"As a well-bred and affluent second-generation heir, how could he possibly be compared to a loser?The nurse regarded Timothy with disdain before firing back, "You can't even cover your own medical expenses. If that doesn't define being a loser, then what does? "Not to mention, you're also trying to mooch off the Lane family's heiress! Have you ever stopped to consider if you're even capable of doing so?"Timothy was on the verge of exploding with anger. He swore that once he recovered, he would bring down this entire hospital!Eventually, the doctor and nurse departed, leaving the room enveloped in silence once more.Mia had been stifling her laughter throughout the ordeal.But as soon as the medical staff left, she couldn't contain herself any longer. "I never imagined seeing you in this situation, Timothy!"With gritted teeth, Timothy retorted, "Are you done laughing yet?""Not quite. Let
Raising an eyebrow, Mia corrected, "To be more precise, I'm trying to save your life."With that, Mia turned and exited the hospital room without acknowledging Timothy's presence.She had done everything within her power.Upon entering the car, Mia immediately instructed Peyton, "Arrange a flight for Timothy to return to Bern City. He must leave by tomorrow."Mia's top priority now was to be by Sage's side and care for him until he recovered. She had no time to concern herself with Timothy's affairs.Leaving the hospital, Mia headed straight to the private hospital to check on Sage, who remained unconscious.Approaching Mia, Nicholas conveyed, "Sage briefly woke up this morning but then drifted back to sleep. It appears his recovery is progressing well. He should be fully awake by tomorrow. Once he's ready, we can move him from the intensive care unit to a standard ward."Mia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "That's wonderful news. Finally, the day I've been eagerly
Mia entered the hospital room and confronted Timothy directly, questioning, "What exactly do you want to discuss with me? I even offered to buy you a plane ticket to leave, yet you're choosing to stay. "Are you intentionally looking for trouble? If Dominic finds out you're here, you'll end up with more than just a hand injury!"Truthfully, Mia couldn't comprehend Timothy's intentions.Timothy leaned against the headboard, appearing notably more spirited than the previous day.He spoke calmly, "I came here specifically to accompany Ginger during her treatment. I won't depart Nord City until she's fully recovered."Despite the bandages on his head and casts on his arms, his demeanor suggested a defiance that almost begged for confrontation."Given your current inability to cover your own medical expenses, it's rather audacious of you to remain in Nord City. Wouldn't it be wiser to go home temporarily and return with more support?"Timothy's eyebrows lifted slightly. "If I were to
