Chapter 718

Mia’s expression froze momentarily before she spoke, “Mr. Barrett, I truly appreciate your help.”

Despite her ongoing deception since arriving in Bern City, this expression of gratitude was genuine.

Timothy nodded in response, saying, “You’re welcome.”

Upon hearing Timothy’s words, Mia’s emotions grew even more complex.

While it was indeed appropriate for Timothy, as Ginger’s father, to undergo bone marrow matching, he

remained entirely oblivious to the truth.

From his perspective, he was simply undergoing the matching procedure for Mia’s ill daughter.

At that moment, Mia spotted Ginger exiting the emergency room. Ginger lay unconscious on the bed,

her complexion pale, with a noticeable bump on

her forehead.

Even though Mia understood it was all part of a charade, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy

for Ginger.

It seemed that Ginger was taking her performance a bit too seriously.

Seeing the swelling on Ginger’s forehead, Timothy immediately knew it was from Asher pushing her.

Speaking in a solemn tone, he said, “I’ll make sure Asher apologizes to Ginger.”

“Forget it. It’s best if these two children don’t cross paths anymore. Ginger isn’t doing well right now,

and I don’t want any more trouble,” Mia responded.

In reality, Mia was eager to teach Asher a lesson, but her priority at the moment was the bone marrow

matching. Once that was sorted out, she would address the matter with Asher.

Witnessing her determination, Timothy remained silent.

After settling Ginger into her ward, Mia turned to Timothy and said, “Mr. Barrett, thank you for bringing

Ginger to the hospital and for your

assistance. It’s late now, so you should head home and get some rest. I’ll stay with Ginger here at the

hospital.”

Timothy hesitated briefly before inquiring, “When will we receive the test results?”

“Most likely by tomorrow.”

“Please inform me immediately once the results are available.”

Mia nodded. “Sure.”

As Mia watched Timothy leave the ward, her expression softened. Based on his demeanor, it seemed

likely that he would agree to undergo the bone

marrow matching.

Shortly afterward, Mia received a call from Dominic.

Upon seeing his number, she answered nervously, “Hello, Dominic. Is everything alright? Why are you

calling at this hour?”

“Are you enjoying your time in Bern City?”

With those words, Mia realized she couldn’t hide the truth any longer. She responded honestly,

“Dominic, I didn’t come to Bern City to have fun.”

“Mia, you’re being far too reckless. Traveling to Bern City alone is risky, but bringing Ginger along at

such a young age adds another layer of concern. What if the Barretts were to discover your true

identities?”

“Dominic, I’ll be cautious. They haven’t figured it out yet.”

“Mia, you’d better book the next available flight back to Nord City!”

Mia pursed her lips. “Dominic, I can’t return yet.”

She proceeded to explain Sage’s condition to Dominic, who fell silent on the other end of the line.

“Couldn’t you find a suitable donor in Nord City? Did you really have to go to Bern City to search for

type A blood?”

“Dominic, our entire family has type O blood, but Sage has the rare type A. With only a month left, I had

no choice but to take the risk and come to Bern City,” Mia explained.

Glancing at Ginger sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, she continued, “I orchestrated a scenario with

Ginger. Timothy believes she’s genuinely ill, so he agreed to undergo bone marrow matching for her.”

When the time came, Mia would simply substitute Ginger’s sample for

Sage’s.

Over the phone, Dominic let out a sigh. “Please be careful.”

“I will, there’s no need to worry. After all, I’m not the Mia Bowen who used to be easily intimidated,” Mia

reassured him.

“By the way, Mia, since you’re in Bern City, perhaps you should consider paying a visit to Aunt Patricia,”

Dominic reminded her.
