“It’s alright. Timothy found out about it anyway. This is the Barretts‘ territory after all. Keeping a secret


    from him isn’t easy. Thankfully, the bone marrow along with Ginger have been safely delivered to Nord


    City.”


    “Did he make things difficult for you?” Nichs asked, feeling concerned about Mia’s wellbeing.


    Mia suddenly thought of the argument that happened on the rooftop of the hospital.


    Nheless, she recounted calmly, “Nothing I couldn’t settle. I’m Mia Lane. Can he do anything to


    me?”


    “Take a private flight back then,” Nichs suggested.


    “Yeah, I’m thinking the same thing, but I want to go see Aunt Patricia before I leave. It’s alreadyte


    now, so I’m going to meet her tomorrow morning.


    “Maybe have breakfast with her before heading back. Timothy already found out about it anyway.


    Returning early won’t make any difference.”


    The next time she woulde to Bern City would be a few monthster, so she didn’t want


    to miss the chance to meet Patricia.


    She really hoped to have a meal with Patricia before leaving Bern City.


    It had been four years since Miast met Patricia after all.


    Nichs went silent for a moment. “Okay. Just be careful. If the Barretts threaten you, call


    us right away.”


    “Got it. Please look after Sage for me.”


    “Don’t


    me.”

    They engaged in small talk before terminating the call.


    Timothy had found out that Mia had sent the donated bone marrow and Ginger back to Nord City,


    including the fact that she had been lying to him the past few days.

    However, she wasn’t afraid at all.


    Compared to how the Barretts treated her in the past, what she did to him was nothing.


    Mia massaged her temples. Recently, there had been unfamiliar images crossing her mind.


    They seemed to be rted to the Barrett family.


    It seemed like she would regain her memories soon.


    The next morning, Mia bought a lot of stuff before visiting Patricia.


    Mia was going to leave after lunch, so she wanted to cherish the time she had with Patricia.


    Mia’s visit was a pleasant surprise to Patricia. “Mia, why did you buy so many things? You could’ve just


    come empty–handed.”


    “How could I do that when I wasn’t by your side for years? These are good for your health.”


    “Mia, your brothers actually asked someone to buy me supplements and good food every year. I’m as


    fit as a fiddle! I took a body checkup not long ago. And the doctor told me to refrain from eating too


    much and exercise regrly,” Patricia said light–heartedly.


    They sat on the couch. Mia gave it a thought before revealing, “Aunt Patricia, I’m going to return to


    Nord City today. I’ll see you again some other time.”


    Disappointment colored Patricia’s eyes, but she cheered herself up the next second. “It’s alright. Tell


    me earlier before youe next time so that I can make your favorite food for you.”


    Mia held Patricia’s hand. This was the woman who showed Mia what the affection and love of a family


    felt like.


    Once Sage recovered, she would visit Patricia with her children. Settling Patricia down in Nord City


    wasn’t a bad idea either.


    Midway through lunch, Mia received a call from Nichs.


    She headed to the garden outside and asked, “Has Ginger arrived safely?”


    Yes, but I have bad news.”


    “Fire away.”


    “The container should contain the bone marrow, but it’s empty.”
