Ginger held onto Mia’s hand. “Mommy, will Tim be in pain? He gave a lot of blood!!
With her eyes closed, Mia delicately stroked Ginger’s head, keeping her lips sealed.
She knew that everything would be over soon.
After the extraction procedure, Timothyy on the hospital bed, appearing visibly weakened in his loose
patient attire.
Mia entered the room with Ginger, taking a deep breath before asking, “How are you feeling?”
“I’m okay,” Timothy replied.
He nced at Ginger and reassured her, “Ginger, look, it’s not too bad, right? You don’t need to worry.”
Ginger approached and held Timothy’s hand, blowing on it gently several times. “Blow, blow, let the
pain fade away.”
Timothy’s lips curved into a smile as he reached out to pat Ginger’s head, feeling his heart
melt.
ncing at Mia, he suggested, “Ginger has been waiting outside for so long. You should take her back
to rest.”
Mia nodded reassuringly. “Okay, you take good care of yourself.”
She gently sped Ginger’s hand, signaling it was time to depart. Before they left, she lowered her
head and whispered to Ginger, “Say goodbye to him.”
Ginger turned and waved. “Bye–bye!”
Timothy settled back onto the bed, a smile lingering on his lips as he watched Ginger and Mia leave.
With a bit of rest, Ginger would swiftly regain her health.
After Mia and Ginger left the ward, they swiftly made their way down the stairs. Turning to Peyton, Mia
asked, “Where’s the donated bone marrow?”

“It’s been securely preserved. To avoid arousing suspicion, a helicopter has been arranged for
departure tonight.”
“Understood,” Mia affirmed.
She drew in a deep breath, feeling her nerves tingle with anticipation.
It was already 5:00 pm, with just a few hours remaining before their departure.
Looking up at Mia, Ginger asked, “Mommy, are we leaving tonight?”
Mia gently caressed Ginger’s head as she replied, “Yes, we’re going to bring the bone marrow back to
save Sage. He’s been patiently waiting in the sterile chamber.”
Although Mia sensed Ginger’s reluctance to leave Timothy, she knew they couldn’t dwell on it now.
Their priority was to return quickly with his bone marrow.
As night fell, Mia quietly prepared to depart with Ginger.
As they approached the elevator to ascend to the rooftop for their helicopter ride, Mia and Ginger
unexpectedly encountered Sharon.
Maintaining herposure, Mia addressed her, “Mrs. Barrett, what do you
want?”
“I need to have a word with you.”
“Mrs. Barrett, rest assured, I won’t go back on the promise I made to you this morning.”

“Hmph, that’s precisely why I’m here. To ensure you won’t backtrack, you muste with. me now and
inform Tim in person that you’re ending things with him. Only then will I believe what you say,” Sharon
demanded.
Mia’s brow furrowed in response. “But Timothy is still recovering. Can’t we postpone this discussion to
tomorrow?”
“No! This has to be resolved now. I can’t risk any surprises you might have up your sleeveter.”
Mia was somewhat unnerved. If Sharon were to dy them now, who knew what unforeseen events
might unfoldter on?
Without further deliberation, Mia swiftly turned to Peyton and instructed, “Take Ginger
downstairs for a walk. You don’t need to wait for me.”
Understanding Mia’s intention, Peyton nodded and led Ginger away.
Turning to Sharon, Mia asked, “Is Timothy awake?”
“If he’s still asleep, we’ll just wait for him to wake up. Given the big sacrifice Tim has made, I’m sure
you can afford to be patient.”
“Let’s get going then,” Mia replied.
She was just trying to buy some time, hoping Peyton could smoothly depart with Ginger on the
helicopter.
Following Sharon, Mia soon arrived at Timothy’s hospital room, coincidentally finding him awake.
A pang of guilt struck Mia as she saw Timothy conscious. Meeting her gaze, Timothy asked, “Where’s
Ginger?”
