Observing the injury on ude''s face, Mia was ovee by a sense of unease.
It seemed evident that ude and Timothy had engaged in a scuffle. Mia couldn''t shake off her
concern for Timothy''s well-being at that moment.
Noticing ude''s injury, Eva asked, “ude, how did you get hurt? Did you get into a fight with
someone?"
Mia''s heart raced with anticipation as she waited for ude''s response. She, too, was curious about
what had transpired during the altercation. ude seemed a bit uneasy, taking a moment before
replying, "Oh, it''s nothing. I just identally bumped into something.”
Mia''s expression shifted to one of surprise upon hearing ude''s response.
She was surprised he didn''t mention Timothy. Was it because he knew Dominic was present?
With Connor now in the medical facility supervising Sage''s treatment, only Mia and ude were aware
that Timothy had arrived in Nord City with her.
However, it seemed improbable that this was the reason for ude''s silence about Timothy.
A chilling possibility suddenly crossed her mind. Was Timothy already dead, silenced permanently?
Noticing the look in Mia''s eyes, ude suddenly felt a bit disheartened. It appeared that Timothy was
truly at odds with their family!
While they waited outside, Dominic turned his attention to Mia and remarked, "Mia, I heard someone
from the Barrett family was responsible for the bone marrow incident." His tone dripped with malice.
Upon hearing this, Mia swiftly rified the situation to Dominic. Dominic''s expression immediately
turned grim. “Indeed, the Barretts can''t be trusted.”
ude agreed, nodding in affirmation. "I feel the same way."
Eva spoke up, advising Mia, "Now that you''re back, please refrain from going back to Bern City and
stay away from the Barretts. They bring nothing but trouble.”
Mia obediently nodded and replied, “I understand.”
After all, her sole purpose in going to Bern City this time was to find Timothy and secure his bone
marrow.
Ginger, who was nearby, caught snippets of the adults’ conversation. She let out a yawn, rolled over,
and quietly covered her Apple watch. Sage''s treatment continued until midnight before finallying to
an end.
Nichs stepped out and addressed them, saying, "The surgery went well, but Sage needs a few more
days of observation. There''s no need for you to go in and see him at the moment. It''s best to head back
and get some rest.”
Upon hearing this update, the Lanes breathed a collective sigh of relief. With tears welling up in her
eyes, Mia expressed, "As long as the treatment is sessful, that''s what truly matters. Thank you,
Nick." “Don''t thank me. You should be grateful to yourself for swiftly finding a matching bone marrow,"
Nichs replied.
Standing nearby, Eva chimed in, "It''ste now, and since the treatment went well, let''s all head back
and get some rest. We can visit Sage in a couple of days once we''re allowed to."
Following Eva''s suggestion, Mia returned to the Lane residence.
The news of Sage''s sessful surgery filled her with joy. However, after finishing her evening routine,
she found herself too energized to sleep. Perhaps it was because she had dozed off excessively during
the ne ride.
Just then, Mia received a WhatsApp message from Peyton: "Mr. Barrett and Mr. ude had a one-on-
one fight at the airport, and it looks like Mr. ude lost.”
Mia hadn''t anticipated that ude and Timothy would end up in a physical altercation.

It made sense now why ude didn''t mention anything when Eva inquired about his injury; he must
have been embarrassed about the loss.
Mia quickly replied to Peyton''s message: "Where is Timothy now?" "He''s at the hospital.”
"Why is he at the hospital? Didn''t he win the fight?"
"After Mr. ude lost, he ordered his bodyguards to beat up Mr. Barrett, which led to Mr. Barrett being
hospitalized. I''ve heard his injuries are quite severe.”
"Do you think his injuries could be life-threatening?" Mia asked.
