Peyton replied: "I don''t think so."
Upon hearing that Timothy''s injuries weren''t life-threatening, Mia let out a sigh of relief. As long as he
didn''t lose his life, it wasn''t too serious of a matter.
Reflecting on Timothy''s altercation, Mia couldn''t suppress the hint of amusement creeping up to her.
She had advised him against leaving the ne with her, but he ignored her warning. Now, he was
facing the consequences.
The next morning, Mia headed straight to the hospital after breakfast. She couldn''t possibly miss such
a golden opportunity to add insult to injury, could she?
Upon entering the hospital ward, Mia spotted Timothy lying in the bed, dressed in patient attire and
sporting bandages on his head and hands. Mia cleared her throat and approached Timothy, trying to
suppress herughter. "Mr. Barrett, how are you feeling now? Have you learned your lesson?"
Timothy instinctively looked up at the sound of her voice, his expression turning somewhat awkward.
This was undoubtedly a new low for him.
Seeing Timothy with bandages around his head, Mia struggled to contain herughter.
Timothy''s expression darkened. "Why are youughing?"
"My apologies, Mr. Barrett. It''s not often that Iugh, but sometimes the situation just gets the better of
me," Mia replied, approaching Timothy with feigned innocence.
"Remember my warning yesterday? I told you not to disembark with me, but you didn''t listen. Now,
you''re dealing with the consequences,” she continued.
Timothy''splexion paled as he gritted his teeth. "I was careless.” "Calling it careless is an
understatement. We''re in Nord City, not Bern City. You need toe to terms with this reality."
Timothy''s resentment was palpable. He knew that ude had only acted tough because of the backup
he had yesterday.
Speaking with a cold tone, Timothy vowed, “It''s because I didn''t have a group of bodyguards with me at
the time. But once I''m out of this hospital bed and back on my feet, I won''t make the same mistake
again."
“Timothy, I suggest you maintain a low profile and leave Nord City promptly," Mia cautioned.
However, Timothy shifted the conversation, asking, "My bone marrow sample arrived yesterday. When
will Ginger''s treatment start? I''d like to stay until it''s finished."
Acknowledging Sage''s sessful treatment, Mia replied calmly, "Her treatment has already
commenced. Don''t worry, I''m optimistic it will progress smoothly.”
Mia refrained from mentioning that the treatment had already concluded.
After all, Timothy remained unaware that Ginger wasn''t the recipient of the treatment.
Mia gazed at him and spoke firmly, "I came here simply to assure you that Ginger''s treatment will be
sessful. It''s best for you to leave Nord City as soon as possible. I''ll head out now."
As Mia turned to leave, Timothy''s voice called out from behind, "Mia, I won''t leave Nord City easily. I''ve
made it clear that I won''t depart until I witness Ginger''s full recovery with my own eyes."
Looking back at him, Mia retorted, "Fortunately, it was ude and Connor who came to pick me up
yesterday. If it had been Dominic instead, Timothy, do you reckon you''d still be here in the hospital to
speak to me in this manner?"Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
"Whether I''m alive or not is my own concern,” Timothy replied defiantly. Mia was infuriated by his
attitude. “Fine, have it your way. Let''s just pretend I didn''te today."
It seemed Timothy failed to recognize her gesture of kindness.
As Mia prepared to storm out of the ward, a doctor and a nurse entered abruptly.
Approaching Timothy, the nurse inquired, "Excuse me, sir, have your family members arrived yet?"
Timothy''s face remained stoic as he replied, "What seems to be the issue?"
"The medical expenses for your hospitalization and surgery haven''t been settled yet. We''d like to know
when your family will be able toe and make a partial payment for these costs. Given that you''re
not a resident of Nord City, the hospital policy mandates an advance payment for medical expenses.”
Mia raised an eyebrow. Was Timothy in debt for medical expenses?
