Mia’s mind went nk. She never expected that she would kiss Timothy, let alone be the one to initiate


    it.


    She swiftly averted her gaze, her ears flushing bright red. At that moment, she found herself at a loss


    for words.


    All she wanted was to vanish into thin air.


    Noticing her embarrassment, Timothy’s mood lifted unexpectedly. “Are you feeling shy?”


    Mia immediately became displeased. “It waspletely idental. Why would I feel shy? I just find the


    situation a bit awkward!”


    “Given our rtionship, there’s no need for awkwardness.”


    Upon hearing Timothy’s audacious remark, Mia wanted to push him away. “Hey Mr. Barrett, how about


    you get up first? Your current behavior mighte off as a tad inappropriate, don’t you think?”


    Timothy didn’t budge. Instead, he looked at her sternly. “You were the one who stepped on my foot,


    causing us to fall. Let’s approach this rationally, shall we?”


    “Then please get off me first!”


    “My leg is numb!” Timothy retorted.


    Mia doubted his leg was really numb.


    Just then, the hospital room door swung open as the doctor entered. “Mr. Barrett…”


    Mia turned to see the doctor at the entrance. Ovee with embarrassment, she quickly covered her


    face with her hands.


    Timothy immediately got up and leaned against the headboard, his expression serious as he


    addressed the doctor, “What’s the matter?”


    “Mrs. Barrett’s condition isn’t serious; it was just a fainting spell.”


    Timothy remainedposed, replying, “I see.”


    Despite his initial inclination to leave, the doctor hesitated before continuing, “By the way, Mr. Barrett,


    since your bone marrow donation is scheduled for tomorrow, I suggest avoiding strenuous activities,


    including sexual activity, in the next few days. It’s not conducive to

    your health.”


    Timothy was taken aback by this direct reminder.


    With her face still covered, Mia swiftly responded to the doctor’s statement, exining, It’s not what


    you’re thinking. I was just helping him up, and we identally stumbled. Nothing inappropriate


    happened.”


    “Hmm, I see, but it’s still important to be cautious!”


    Mia felt frustrated. It seemed the doctor didn’t fully believe her exnation.


    Shortly after, the doctor left, leaving only the two of them in the hospital room.


    Exasperated, Mia sat upright on the bed and shot a re at Timothy, who was leaning against the


    headboard calmly. It seemed that men had thicker skin than women in situations


    like this!


    Without uttering a word, Mia rose from the bed and exited the room without looking back.


    Observing her embarrassed and angry expression, Timothy couldn’t help but smile. Finally, he caught a


    glimpse of her true emotions.


    Upon leaving the ward, Mia gently touched her face, noticing that the warmth had yet to dissipate


    entirely.


    As she brushed her fingers across her lips, she vividly recalled their kiss. To her surprise, Timothy’s lips


    didn’t feel cold. Instead, they had been pleasantly warm.


    Mia couldn’t ignore the allure of Timothy’s impressive physique; the sensation under her touch spoke


    volumes.


    “Mommy, why is your face all red?”


    At Ginger’s question, Mia quickly lowered her hand. “It’s probably because I hurried stairs just now. Oh,


    and Ginger, please disregard what thatdy said earlier.”


    “Mommy, is she Daddy’s mom?”


    Mia nodded and replied, “Yes, ording to your bloodline, Mrs. Barrett is your grandmother.”


    “But she doesn’t seem to like me.”


    Children indeed had a knack for picking up on such nuances.


    up


    the


    Mia gazed at Ginger and reassured her, “You don’t need her approval! You have plenty of


    people who adore you!”


    As usual, Ginger, with her carefree attitude, quickly shrugged off the incident.


    Noticing that Ginger was unaffected by Sharon, Mia felt relieved. If Sharon’sments had caused


    any psychological scars on Ginger, Mia certainly wouldn’t have taken it lightly.


    Early the next morning, Mia was abruptly awakened by Peyton. “Ms. Mia, something has happened.”


    Mia woke up groggily, her gaze instinctively ang n


    Peyton and quietly slipped outside.


    Yawning, she asked, “What’s going on?”


    “Mrs. Barrett woke up


    this morning and insisted on jumping off the building tomit


    suicide!”


    Suicide?


    Mia’s drowsiness vanished instantly, her brows furrowing. “I knew that old woman wouldn’t give up


    easily.”


    “Ms. Mia, Mrs. Barrett also insists on seeing you. The doctors and nurses are all over there trying to


    talk her out of it.


    “You don’t need to rush over. Mrs. Barrett is likely just putting on a show, pretending to want to jump off


    the building for everyone to see.”


    “Take me there,” Mia instructed.


    She knew she had to go see Sharon.


    Despite the severe side effects Timothy endured from his injection yesterday, Timothy had not


    mentioned anything about it.


    Considering it a favor to him, Mia decided to confront Sharon and find out what tricks she might be up


    to this time.


    Following Peyton, Mia made her way to the hospital room Sharon was in. The area outside was already


    swarming with guards, doctors, and nurses.


    As Mia calmly entered the ward, someone announced, “Mrs. Barrett, she’s here.”


    Upon hearing this, Sharon immediately burst into tears, eximing, “Don’t you dare try to stop me! If


    anyone dares to take Tim’s bone marrow, I’ll jump from this hospital building!”


    With a single nce, Mia saw through Sharon’s facade. She addressed her directly, “Were you looking


    for me?”


    “I won’t allow Tim to donate his bone marrow. If he continues to disobey me, then I’ll jump from here.


    Let’s see if he chooses his mother or a mistress like you.”
