Timothy nced at the candy wrapper Mia held, making a mental note of the brand of the candy in his


    mind.


    As they walked toward the ward together, Timothy spoke in a hushed tone, Does Ginger know about


    her condition?”


    “No, I haven’t told her yet. She probably thinks it’s just a mild flu,” Mia replied, ncing at Timothy.


    “Please don’t mention it to herter. Ginger simply believes she’s anemic and needs your blood


    donation.”


    Timothy responded, “Okay.”


    Following their conversation, they proceeded together into the ward to visit Ginger.


    Near the emergency exit, Luna lurked in the shadows. As she observed Timothy’s kind gestures toward


    Mia and Ginger, jealousy consumed her. Why should someone like Mia merit such treatment from


    Timothy?


    Frustrated, Luna resorted to pinching herself in an effort to regain control over her emotions. However,


    as she pondered Ginger’s leukemia condition,


    she found herself unable to stifle a chuckle.


    In her mind, it seemed like a fitting consequence.


    Eventually, Luna pulled out her phone and dialed a number. “Mrs. Barrett, it’s Luna. Can we meet?


    There’s something crucial I need to discuss with you face–to–face!”


    Luna was determined to prevent Timothy from donating his bone marrow


    to Ginger.

    After all, Sharon would never approve of a divorced woman with a child marrying into the Barrett family!


    In the hospital ward, Ginger yed until she grew weary, eventually drifting off into sleep.


    As Mia looked at Timothy, her gaze held a mixture of emotions. “Thank you for ying with her so


    patiently. Ginger hasn’t had a father figure around since she was young, so she looks up to you a lot.”


    Watching Timothy’s tender Interaction with Ginger, Mia felt a curious emotion stirring in her heart.


    Was this the power of familial bonds?


    Timothy’s nce briefly swept over the sleeping Ginger before settling on Mia. “You mentioned earlier


    that you initially thought Caleb was Ginger’s father, right?”


    “Yes, that’s correct,” Mia replied in surprise, sneaking a nce at him. Was Timothy onto something?


    Timothy followed up, “So if Caleb isn’t the person you’re searching for, does that mean the individual


    you’re looking for is from Bern City?”


    Mia nodded. “I think so.


    Curious, Timothy pressed on, “What made you initially believe that Caleb was Ginger’s father?”


    Mia sensed the conversation taking an unforeseen turn. She paused before responding, “Mr. Barrett,


    may I ask why you’re inquiring about these matters?”


    “Well, if Ginger’s father is from Bern City, I can assist you in locating him. After all, I have a knack for


    finding anyone in this city.


    “The nurse mentioned that Ginger’s biological father has a very highpatibility rate. Given Ginger’s


    condition, it’s crucial for her biological father toe forward.”


    Upon hearing Timothy’s exnation, Mia’s tense demeanor eased slightly.


    She had worried that he had discovered something significant.


    After a brief moment of silence, Mia replied, “Actually, I identally found out from my brothers that


    Ginger’s father is from Bern City. However, I don’t have any further details.”


    “It looks like you don’t know your baby daddy too well, huh?”


    With a poker face, Mia replied, “Who can remember the detalls of a one- night stand, anyway?”


    As her words trailed off, she couldn’t help but notice Timothy’s expression.


    darken considerably.


    Clearing her throat, Mia continued, “But that was a long time ago. I was young and naive. We all have


    our rebellious phases, don’t we?”


    Timothy responded, “Give me all the details you have. Tracking down this person could take some


    time.”


    Mia’s expression stiffened momentarily. This was certainly not the oue she had anticipated.
