“I understand, Dominic. Once Sage is discharged from the hospital, I''ll personally be there to support


    him, guide his development, and ensure he stays on the right path.”


    Sage was undeniably intelligent, boasting a higher IQ than children his age.


    However, a previous assessment had revealed antisocial traits in Sage, leading him to be reclusive and


    avoid social interactions.


    Mia had been concerned about this for a while.


    Due to his health issues, Sage had been staying in Nichs’boratory, seldom venturing outside.


    Consequently, Mia had refrained from intervening as well.


    But with Sage''s imminent reintegration into society after his recovery, it was crucial to take proactive


    measures.


    Eva held Mia''s hand and reassured her, "Don''t worry, we''ll surround Sage with love and positive


    influences. He won''t turn into a criminal in the future. After all, our family has everything we need.”


    Mia smiled and affirmed, “I won''t allow Sage to be that kind of person either."


    Nichs had been closely monitoring Sage''s personality development over the years. Currently, there


    were no signs of any abnormal behavior from Sage, except for his tendency to be reclusive.


    Leaving the private hospital, Mia''s mood significantly improved. Sage''s treatment had advanced


    smoothly, and it wouldn''t be long before he made a full recovery.


    Approaching her, Peyton asked, "Ms. Mia, there''s a promotional event for the movie tonight. Would you


    like to attend?"


    "Of course, why wouldn''t I?" Mia replied.


    Peyton added cautiously, “By the way, Mr. Barrett insisted on being discharged from the hospital today."


    "Alright, if he wants to leave the hospital, we''ll amodate that. It just so happens there''s a banquet


    tonight, so I''ll take him with me."


    With that settled, Mia headed straight to the mall for some shopping. As Mia exited the dressing room


    after trying on a few outfits, she noticed Timothy standing nearby. He was dressed in a sleek ck suit


    and sunsses, his tall and straight posture exuding a sense of authority.


    He certainly looked like he meant business!


    With a smirk, Mia approached him. "Is your arm feeling better now?" Timothy maintained a stoic


    expression as he replied, “It''s nothing serious. Your brother sustained more injuries than I did.”


    His stubborn attitude was quite typical of him.


    "Well, since you''re here, you can help me carry these things," Mia said, handing him the bags filled with


    clothes she had purchased.


    Given Timothy''s insistence on being discharged, Mia decided to put him to work.


    Timothy briefly nced at the bags, a frown crossing his face, but he eventually epted and carried


    them without protest.


    In an attempt to embarrass Timothy, Mia deliberately purchased more items, leaving him to carry all the


    boxes alone.


    She couldn''t conceal her satisfaction as she observed Timothy''s awkward and hesitant demeanor.


    However, as Mia walked ahead, she heard a woman''s shrill voice behind her. "Hey, you, stupid


    bodyguard, can''t you watch where you''re going? Don''t you see I''m here?"


    Turning around, Mia spotted a woman with a designer handbag pointing and scolding Timothy.


    Mia walked over and said, "Hey Isabe, I heard your recent stic surgery didn''t go too well. I thought


    you''d never dare to show your face in public again.”


    Isabe Bowen appeared slightly flustered upon seeing Mia. "Who told you my stic surgery failed?


    I''ve never had any cosmetic procedures!"


    Ignoring Isabe, Mia turned to Timothy. "Hey, you dropped all the items I bought. Aren''t you going to


    pick them up?"

    Isabe immediately interjected, "So, this clueless bodyguard belongs to you, huh? It appears both you


    and he are equally ipetent.”
