Mia couldn’t help but feel surprised by Timothy’s unexpected trust in her.


    Awkwardly, she responded, “I had the surveince footage prepared. I was waiting for your arrival to


    prove my innocence. But it seems that won’t be necessary now.”


    Timothy gazed at her intensely. “Do you honestly think I’m incapable of distinguishing right from


    wrong?”


    “When sneaky women are in the picture, guys often seem drawn to those they perceive as vulnerable.


    It’s a factor I can’t afford to overlook,” Mia exined.


    Timothy couldn’t shake the feeling that Mia’s words held a deeper meaning, almost as if she were


    subtly mocking him.


    ncing at Ginger in the hospital room, Timothy spoke up, “Is she prepared?”


    Mia responded casually, “For now, her emotions seem to have settled. I informed her that when it’s


    time for your blood draw, she shouldn’t let your kindness go to waste. I trust she’ll be cooperative when


    the moment arrives.”


    Timothy nodded in response. “We can proceed the day after tomorrow.


    After a moment of contemtion, Mia asked, “Now that your mother is aware of the situation, I have a


    feeling she will strongly oppose your bone marrow donation. Are there any concerns from her side?”


    “I’ve already talked to my mother about the bone marrow donation process. It seems her reluctance


    mainly stems from not fully understanding it.”


    Mia nodded in acknowledgment. “That’s good to know.”


    However, she doubted Sharon would be receptive to reason. Even if Timothy rified the intricacies of


    the bone marrow donation to her, Sharon likely wouldn’t consent to it.


    So, ultimately, it all came down to Timothy’smitment to donating his bone marrow to Ginger.


    Nheless, Mia couldn’t help but suspect that Timothy might have already figured out her and


    Ginger’s identities, hence his strong determination to donate his bone marrow.


    Despite this, Mia refrained from saying anything further. After all, as Ginger’s father, Timothy bore a


    responsibility to act ordingly.


    The next day, Timothy began receiving injections, finalizing his preparations.


    Mia apanied Ginger to visit Timothy, who looked frail and pale as hey in bed.


    Observing his condition, Mia promptly questioned the doctor, “He doesn’t seem well. Is everything


    okay?”


    “This is the most challenging stage. He’ll improve after today. The medication he’s receiving is only


    temporary, but it doese with significant side effects.”


    Ginger approached Timothy and gently took his hand, softly breathing on it. “It won’t hurt anymore after


    I blow on it.”


    Summoning his strength, Timothy turned to Ginger. “Stay strong. There’s nothing to fear,” he reassured


    her.


    “Okay, I understand. I’ll be brave!”


    Timothy mustered a smile and gently patted Ginger’s head. “Once I’m finished tomorrow, I’ll be right by


    your side. You won’t have to worry when I’m around.”


    “Okay!” Ginger chirped happily, holding Timothy’s hand close to her face, her cheek brushing against it.


    Witnessing this tender moment, Mia suddenly nced up at the ceiling. Despite her n progressing


    smoothly, a pang of guilt lingered deep within her.


    After all, she had been deceiving Timothy all along!


    As Mia contemted her next words, the hospital room door swung open forcefully.


    “Tim! Tim, what happened?”


    Dressed in a patient gown, Sharon swiftly rushed into the room.


    Upon seeing Timothy lying pale on the hospital bed, she was instantly enraged. “You said you were


    okay. Look at you now, do you really think you look okay?”


    “Mom, why are you here? I really am fine.”


    As Sharon caught sight of Ginger by the bed, she eximed, “So, this is the leukemia- stricken burden,


    huh?”


    With a solemn expression, Ginger corrected her, “I’m not a burden!”


    “If you’re not a burden, then what are you? Born without a father’s care, you’re nothing but a liability!”


    Mia’s expression turned cold, and she stepped forward to shield Ginger.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Mia locked eyes with Sharon, her tone defiant. “Do you feel no shame speaking like this in front of a


    child?”


    Sharon scoffed, “What’s the problem? Did I say something inappropriate?”


    Ginger peeked out from behind Mia and stated, “Yes, you’re wrong. Mommy said that a child nobody


    loves is the real burden.”


    “How can you im you’re loved when you don’t even have a father?”


    Timothy pleaded, “Mom, please stop.”


    In a crisp voice, Ginger spoke up, “But I do have a father! Tim is my daddy!”
