Mia gazed at Timothy''s stern expression and poked his chest. "Mr. Barrett, to be frank, the words I''ve


    said aren''t exclusive to you.


    "At this point, it''s possible that I''ve umted enough ex-boyfriends to popte the entire Nord City.


    If I''m to be held ountable for each one, Mr. Barrett, you''ll simply have to wait your turn.”


    "Mia Bowen!"


    "Sorry, I go by Mia Lane now, thank you very much,” Mia retorted, standing up and adjusting her


    clothes.


    "Mr. Barrett, I''ve been very clear. If you''re having trouble understanding, please take a moment to sit


    and contemte. Perhaps our paths will cross again someday.”


    With that, Mia walked away without looking back, heading straight for the ne''s exit.


    Shortly after Mia left, a flight attendant approached Timothy and said, "Sir, don''t feel too bad. After all,


    Ms. Lane isn''t the type of woman just any man can win over."


    Timothy''s expression instantly hardened, and he stepped forward, ready to strike. "Watch your words.


    Are you interested in her as well?" As Mia descended the stairs, she realized Timothy hadn''t followed


    her, prompting a sigh of relief from her.


    After all, she was carrying the bone marrow that Timothy had donated, a crucial element for saving


    Sage''s life.


    If Timothy had left the ne with her and her brothers had seen them together, Timothy would surely


    have faced a tough situation. Nheless, Mia decided to cut Timothy some ck, considering she


    was carrying his bone marrow in her hands.


    As Mia disembarked from the ne, she smiled and called out, "Hello Connor, and hey ude!"


    Connor stepped forward and gently took the bone marrow from her. "Hey Mia, it sounds like you''ve had


    quite the journey."


    “I''m fine. Luckily, everything went smoothly, and I was able to retrieve the bone marrow."


    ude approached her and asked, "Did Timothy cause any trouble when you were looking for the


    bone marrow in Bern City? I heard his family tried to hide it. Is that true? I''ve always said the Barretts


    were up to no good.”


    Connor looked at her and asked, "Did Timothy hide the bone marrow intentionally to threaten you?"


    Lowering her gaze, Mia replied, "There were someplications along the way, but Timothy wasn''t


    involved. He didn''t hide the bone marrow.” After all, Timothy wasn''t responsible for the bone marrow


    going missing, and he shouldn''t be wrongly used.


    "Mia, don''t worry. Even if Timothy did n to use the bone marrow as leverage against you, we''re not


    intimidated.


    "Dominic has made it clear—if Timothy doesn''tply, we''ll go to Bern City ourselves. We''ll even


    resort to coercing Timothy to donate his blood if necessary.”


    Mia smiled and replied, "Now that we have the bone marrow in our hands, let''s not waste any time.


    Sage is waiting for us."


    She wanted to leave this ce quickly with her brothers to avoid any unexpected situations.


    "Wait up."

    As Mia was about to enter the car, she heard Timothy''s familiar voice from behind.


    Her expression stiffened instantly. Didn''t she tell him to wait inside the ne until they left? Why did


    Timothye out at this moment?


    Was he out of his mind?


    A surge of apprehension flooded Mia. Turning around, she saw Timothy descending the ne''s ramp.


    In that instant, Mia could feel hostility radiating from her two brothers. Upon spotting Timothy, Connor''s


    demeanor shifted, his expression turning steely. "Mia, I''m surprised you''re here with him."


    ude moved beside her, obstructing her way. "Mia, is he nning to use his bone marrow as


    leverage against you? Don''t worry. Remember, we''re in Nord City, not Timothy''s territory."
