Mia spoke carefully, "First and foremost, I want to thank you for your bone marrow donation to Ginger.
However, let''s not forget that it''s also your responsibility as her father.
"Right now, Ginger and I arefortably settled in the Lane family, so there''s no need for you to linger
in Nord City. You can just go back.” Upon hearing this, Timothy''s throat tightened slightly. “Mia, could
you consider giving me another chance?"
Exhaustion etched his face, his eyes heavy with emotion.
Mia didn''t know how to react to Timothy''s words. "If you had said this four years ago, I might have been
thrilled.”
Timothy''s heart sank at her words, his voice strained. "But is it toote now?"
“Yes, itis. I used to hang onto your every word because I cared about you. But I don''t feel the same way
anymore. So, what''s the use of you saying all this?"
Timothy felt a sharp pang in his heart, nearly breathless from the ache. He pressed his lips together
and said, “I want to make things right for you and Ginger."
"Well, the best way for you to make it up to me and Ginger is to leave Nord City immediately and never
return to our lives."
Mia''s words wereposed yet firm, piercing into Timothy''s chest like a dagger, precise and
unyielding.
At that moment, Timothy felt as though the air had been sucked out of the room. Mia always had a way
of inflicting pain upon him.
Turning to nce out the window, Timothy was startled by the sudden resurgence of Mia''s memories.
He had been quietly strategizing how to win her over before her memories returned, thinking it might
improve his odds.
Meanwhile, Mia couldn''t resist stealing a nce at Timothy''s silhouette as she leaned against the
headboard. His tall, slender frame remained just as upright andmanding as ever.
Indeed, Timothy had always been the object of desire for many women. However, Mia was never fully
epted into the Barrett family even after marrying Timothy. She endured mockery from them, and
was constantly reminded that she wasn''t good enough for him.
Her youthful infatuation had left her deeply wounded, nearly costing her life.
As Mia reminisced about the past, her heart ached with pain, but she quickly regained herposure.
With her brothers by her side, she felt invincible.
As long as Timothy couldn''t separate her from Ginger and Sage, Mia remained unfazed.
Breaking the silence, Mia spoke up, "Connor will be back soon. You should leave.”

However, deep down, Timothy was still unwilling to surrender. Addressing Mia, he softly uttered, "Take
care."
"Timothy, some things can''t be forced. Remember? Those were your words to me before. I hope you
understand that.”
Pausing by the doorway, Timothy cast a nce back at Mia. “Is Ginger also being treated at this
hospital?"
Mia''s guard went up at the mention of Ginger. "Ginger isn''t here." "This is the Lane family''s private
hospital, isn''t it? How is it possible that Ginger isn''t here? Mia, what else aren''t you telling me?"
Timothy had just confirmed downstairs that this was indeed the Lane family''s private hospital.
How could Ginger be anywhere else?
At this juncture, Timothy couldn''t shake the nagging feeling that something wasn''t right, though he
couldn''t pinpoint exactly what it was. Mia regarded him calmly. "Regardless, Ginger is receiving
treatment, and thus far, everything is progressing smoothly. Once Ginger''s treatment concludes, I will
make arrangements for you to see her." "Mia, that''s not what you said yesterday."
Mia paused, her mind wandering back to the shopping trip she had gone on with Timothy. "Back then, I
hadn''t fully regained my memory, so..."
"So, your previous words didn''t count?"
Timothy took out the small toy he had bought with his 50-dor wage from his pocket, his voice calm as
he presented it. "Look, I''ve already purchased Ginger''s gift. I must see her."
Mia was momentarily taken aback by the sight of the toy in his palm. “The only reason I agreed earlier
was because my brothers hadn''t discovered you yet. But now that they know you''re here, do you
honestly think I can still take you to see Ginger?"
"Mia, you''re just finding excuses. Are you worried about me seeing Ginger because you''ve been
deceiving me all along? Was my bone marrow donation even meant for Ginger? Is she really ill?"
