Mia plopped herself down on the couch after she sent Nichs off. She couldn''t quite snap back to her


    senses, as she''d always regarded him as a brother and had never thought of anything else.


    Eva approached her with a fruit te. "So, how did things go?"


    Mia sprang up. "You knew?"


    “Yeah, we all saw how he treated you the past four years. He might not have been very direct, but he


    can''t hide the way he feels about you." "Are you kidding, Eva? I''ve never thought that Nick would fall for


    me. I waspletely caught off guard. I can''t really handle this."


    “Is it because you don''t think he''s a good person? You did mention that he''s too busy with work," Eva


    asked.


    "No! In fact, that''s not the main reason. Nick''s a really good guy, but I just never thought about our


    rtionship that way," Mia reiterated her intention again.


    Eva suggested, “Why not give it some thought? I think Nichs is quite brilliant.”


    Spiraling in turmoil, Mia went upstairs to her room, where she struggled to regain herposure.


    Peyton called shortly after.


    "Ms. Lane, the case against the Jones family brought by Harper has already been brought to court. It''s


    likely for them to lose the case and be imprisoned. Also, I''ve heard that the Bowen family is about to


    close the coboration deal with the Barretts.”


    “Is Timothy still in the hospital?"


    "I''m not sure about that. Shall I send someone to check?"


    "It''s fine. Whether he lives or dies is his own fate. Don''t send someone over to keep watch on him."


    Furthermore, she already told Caleb where Timothy was after finally receiving a call from him. Caleb


    should''ve found Timothy by now. In that case, Timothy would be perfectly fine.


    The next morning, Mia received a call from Caleb as soon as she woke up.


    She yawned. "What is it? Didn''t you find Timothy already?"


    A deep voice rumbled from the other end of the phone. "It''s me."


    She sobered up instantly once she heard Timothy''s voice. "Oh, it''s you. Aren''t you supposed to have


    left by now? Why are you calling me?" “You can''t possibly forget about our promise yesterday, can


    you? You said you''ll arrange for me to visit our child at the hospital today."


    His unexpected audacity stunned Mia. In the end, she gave in. "Fine. I''l let you meet Ginger at the


    hospital this afternoon. I''ll send you the hospital addresster."


    Given how unyielding Timothy was, she figured she had no choice but to let him see Ginger, just this


    once. She hung up promptly and called Peyton to proceed with the necessary arrangements at the


    hospital, so he wouldn''t notice anything.


    Mia headed straight to Ginger''s room after she woke up. She was still sound asleep.


    As she stroked Ginger''s face gently, Ginger stirred in her sleep. She woke up with a yawn, looking at


    her drowsily. "Mommy."


    Mia hugged her. "Are you awake? Does sleeping alone make you scared?”


    "Nope. I''m a big girl now. I can sleep alone.”


    Mia smiled and said, "Right, I need your help with something now.” She exined the entire situation to


    Ginger briefly.


    Ginger nodded. "Sure. But Mommy, why are you worried that Daddy will find Sage?"


    Mia fell silent momentarily before she replied, "He''ll take both of you away from me if he finds out about


    Sage''s existence.”


    "What if he won''t?" Ginger''s question took her by surprise.
