Luna paused, feeling somewhat awkward. “I was just concerned about you being alone in the hospital
without anyone to take care of you.
“Since you didn’t want me toe, I thought maybe you would prefer Aunt Sharon’s help. I only
wanted to ensure your well–being.”
“I’ve mentioned this before. Your concern should only be for Asher, not me. Please don’t waste your
energy on me,” Timothy reiterated firmly.
Luna felt embarrassed by Timothy’s straightforward response. “Tim, you’ve misunderstood. I simply
didn’t want you to be alone without someone looking after you.
“If you hadn’t brought up these things to my mom, she wouldn’t havee to the hospital and gotten
injured in the first ce,” Timothy snapped at her.
“But Aunt Sharon got hurt because of Ms. Monalize,” Luna blurted out.
Feeling a pang of guilt, she struggled to borate further. “I… I just happened to witness it by chance,
that’s how I knew.
“Then tell me, why did my mome to the hospital and not search for me, but instead. went
downstairs to find someone else? What exactly did you say to her?” Timothy retorted. coldly, seeing
through Luna’s scheme in an instant.
Just then, the doctor emerged from the emergency room. “Where are the patient’s family
members?”
Timothy stepped forward. “How is my mom’s condition?”
“The patient fainted due to emotional distress, putting her at risk of a stroke. Fortunately, she was
brought in just in time. It’s important to avoid upsetting her to prevent another episode,” the doctor
exined.
Timothy’s expression hardened. “I understand.”
Shortly after, the unconscious Sharon was wheeled out, with Timothy apanying her to the hospital
room.
It didn’t take long for Sharon to regain consciousness. Spotting Timothy by her side, she eximed
excitedly, “Tim!”
“I’m here, Mom.”
As he approached Sharon, Timothy gently took her hand, offeringfort. “The doctor said you’re
okay, but you need to rest.”
Observing the situation, Luna quickly stepped in, saying, “Aunt Sharon, you can’t imagine how worried
Tim has been. He’s been waiting outside the operating room for you.”
Sharon’s expression softened with relief, but then she noticed Timothy, also dressed in a patient gown.
Suddenly, a memory dawned on her. “Tim, why are you in the hospital?”
Timothy responded calmly, “It’s just a minor issue.”
“Are you still trying to deceive me? You obviously intend to donate your bone marrow to that woman’s
child. It’s incredibly risky. Do you want me to be consumed with worry?” Timothy’s expression
darkened. “Mom, I explicitly instructed Luna not to tell you about this.
“But Luna only told me because she was worried about you,” Sharon said.
Luna’splexion paled. “Tim, please listen to me, I-
“Enough! Your opinion doesn’t matter here,” Timothy snapped.
He didn’t even acknowledge Luna’s presence. Instead, he turned to Sharon and insisted, ” Mom,
donating bone marrow isn’t as risky as you think. It’s simr to donating blood.”
“You’re lying! Donating bone marrow can’t bepared to giving blood. I have no idea how bone
marrow is even extracted. If something were to happen to you, how would I cope? Remember, the
entire Barrett family depends on you!”
Sharon’s emotions were running high, but Timothy remainedposed. He retrieved his phone and
said, “Mom, here’s an article exining how bone marrow donation is done.
This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
Please read it first.”
Although she was skeptical, Sharon relented and took the phone.

However, Luna remained defiant. She was well aware that donating bone marrow involved. donating
hematopoietic stem cells, yet she intentionally misled Sharon.
As Luna was on the verge of speaking up, Timothy sternly instructed, “You,e with me.”
Despite her reluctance to leave, Luna was forcibly escorted out of the hospital room.
With a chilling re, Timothy dered, “Effective immediately, you’re moving out of the Barrett
residence. Leave Asher with my mother.”
