Mia’s heart skipped a beat; she hadn’t expected Timothy to suggest leaving Ginger in Bern City for
treatment.
It caught Miapletely 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 exnation 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 escte the situation any further.
After a moment of contemtion, 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 continued enjoying her ice cream before
breaking the silence.
“By the way, Mr. Barrett, Shelly told me that Luna seems to be seriously injured. Did she break her foot
or something?”
Sitting opposite Mia, Timothy’s gaze was prating. “You’ve grown quite close to Shelly, haven’t
you?”
In the past, these two had constantly been at odds!
Mia responded with a meaningful smile. “Well, Shelly is going to be my future sister–inw, so it’s
important to maintain a good rtionship, wouldn’t you agree?
“But, Mr. Barrett, let’s not change the subject. Since we’re being candid today, there’s a question I’ve
been curious about for some time.”
“Go ahead.”
“What exactly is your rtionship with Luna, and is Asher your son?”
Timothy paused, cing his utensils on the table. “Are you feeling jealous?”
Seeing Timothy’s irritated expression, Mia forced a smile. “Of course, I’m feeling jealous. Mr. Barrett, I
heard Luna yed a role in your divorce from your ex–wife. I don’t want to go through that again!”
Timothy’s lips tightened. “The past isplicated, but my rtionship with Luna isn’t what you’re
assuming. And as for Asher, he’s not my son.
“If Asher isn’t yours, why has Luna been able to stay in the Barrett family all this time, with Mrs. Barrett
treating Asher like her grandson? There must be a reason behind it, right?”
Mia had previously questioned Shelly about Asher’s identity, but Shelly wasn’t entirely certain either.
With a solemn expression, Mia awaited Timothy’s response.
Timothy’s deep voice broke the silence. “I cannot disclose Asher’s identity, but he is definitely not my
illegitimate son.”
While this statement didn’t directly address Mia’s question, she decided not to press the matter further.
If Timothy wasn’t willing to talk, there was no point in pushing him.
Continuing to press the issue might make her seem overly jealous, and Mia knew she wasn’t that petty.
However, Mia couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right, especially considering the tattoo
on Luna’s ankle. Yet, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it
was.
Nheless, Mia eagerly looked forward to visiting Ryan again once she returned to Nord City.
Perhaps recovering her memories would shed light on the truth of what happened in the past.
Shortly after, Mia received a WhatsApp message from Peyton. “The Barrett Group wants to coborate
with Aide Castle. Should we decline?”
Upon reading the message, Mia arched her eyebrows in surprise. This development was certainly
unexpected.
After a moment of consideration, she replied, “Hold off on rejecting them. Send me the proposal so I
can review it first.”
Given the Barrett family’s esteemed position as the top aristocratic lineage in Nord City, coborating
with them could undoubtedly help Aide Castle establish a foothold in the city. 2)
Therefore, hastily dismissing such an opportunity would be unwise.
Meanwhile, Timothy quickly finished his lunch and informed Mia, “I’ll drop you off at the hospital first.
Once my afternoon meeting wraps up, I’lle over.
