Mia turned to Caleb and remarked, “So, this is why Mr. Barrett was seeking reishi mushrooms?
“But as far as I know, reishi mushrooms aren’t capable of treating incurable diseases; they’re primarily
used to prevent muscle atrophy and stimte neurons.
“Typically, only those with full–body paralysis or in a vegetative state would require reishi mushrooms.”
“Yes, Tim’s grandmother has entered a vegetative state, so she needs reishi mushrooms.”
Timothy’s grandmother?
Laura?
Mia’s brow furrowed as she recalled the details from her investigation, realizing that it was Laura who
had orchestrated her marriage into the Barrett family as amoner.
Although it initially seemed like Mia had a stroke of luck, marrying someone on their deathbed left her
pondering whether it was ultimately a blessing or a curse.
However, this situation also presented an opportunity.
Mia nodded thoughtfully before remarking, “So, Mr. Barrett needed the reishi mushrooms for a sick
family member. I had assumed he intended to sell them for profit.”
“Ms. Monalize, Tim is the heir of the esteemed Barrett family in Bern City. Money is hardly an issue for
him. He truly is obtaining these mushrooms for his grandmother. So, may I kindly request that you sell
them to us?”
Mia narrowed her eyes slightly. “This matter is open to negotiation, but I must personally verify whether
or not you’re trying to deceive me. Coincidentally, I have a project to discuss in Bern City, so I’ll take
this opportunity to visit!”
Ginger and Caleb were taken aback by her deration.
Mia nced at them, her expression tinged with a hint of awkwardness. “What’s wrong? Can’t I drop
by?”

Caleb quickly nodded, confirming, “Certainly, you can, Ms. Monalize. As long as you’re willing to sell us
the reishi mushrooms, we’re open to any conditions. I’ll arrange the ne tickets immediately. Do either
of you have any objections?”
Ginger promptly raised her hand. “None at all.”
Mia nced at Ginger, waiting until Caleb stepped away to make the ticket reservation call. She then
leaned down and whispered to Ginger, “Do you want to apany me to Bern City?”
“Yes, Mommy. If I stay behind, how will your n work? Besides, I’m quite good at pretending to be
sick, so he surely won’t suspect it’s for Sage’s treatment.”
Mia affectionately patted Ginger’s head and smiled, saying, “Alright, then we’ll pay a visit to the Barrett
family in Bern City.”
Mia was also curious about the ce that had caused her so much distress before.
An hourter, Mia discreetly escorted Ginger to the airport.
Even Wade remained oblivious to their n.
If Wade were to find out, her brothers would soon follow suit, and they certainly wouldn’t approve of her
visiting the Barrett family in Bern City.
But for Sage’s sake, this journey was necessary.
As the ne ascended into the sky, Mia watched the shrinking silhouette of Xanier Ind below.
Contemting Sage’s illness, her gaze hardened with determination.
Seven hourster, the aircraft touched down at Bern City International Airport.
Mia gently lifted the sleeping Ginger from her seat. Despite Ginger’s excitement during the flight, she
had drifted off to sleep just before theynded.
Mia’s arms began to ache from carrying Ginger; after all, Ginger had grown considerably.
Caleb murmured, “Let me carry her.”
Mia nced at him briefly before handing Ginger over to him. It seemed only fair to take advantage of
the free assistance.
Exiting the airport, Mia surveyed the surroundings she had once frequented, yet found herself unable to
recall anything.
“Caleb, what is she doing here?” Luna suddenly inquired, having just descended from a private jet.
Luna had rushed back upon learning of Laura’s deteriorating condition, feelingpelled to
witness it firsthand.
However, she hadn’t anticipated seeing that woman again! The woman who bore such a striking
resemnce was at the airport too!
