Chapter 966


    Timothy stiffened his lips. He took out his phone and called Mia.


    Meanwhile, Mia had just entered the research institute. ncing at the caller ID, she was surprised to see that it was Timothy calling.


    Still, she couldn''t fathom why he called her. Things didn''t end well between them at the banquet earlier after all.


    Mia tossed her phone into her bag. She didn''t intend to answer any calls. Peyton knew not to disturb her with any work-rted matters whenever she bonded with her children unless they were urgent.


    She changed into sterile clothing before she entered Sage''s ward. He was busying himself in front of theputer. A series of codes appeared on the monitor, and he looked solemn.


    "Handle the left wing, and let theme through in the middle. I''ll deal with them."N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    The codes on the screen shifted promptly, indicating Sage''s victory.


    Having learned about coding from Nathan, Mia could also decipher the codes on Sage''s screen. She pped, eximing, "Good work!"


    Sage muted his microphone once he heard her. Feigning sobriety, he said, "Mommy, why didn''t you knock before you came in? I have my own privacy too."


    Noting the prudence in his tone, Mia pinched his cheeks. "Since you seemed super engrossed earlier, I didn''t want to affect your performance by knocking. What if you lost and embarrass yourself in front of your friends?"


    Sage''s eyes glinted as he dangled his legs. "That man hasn''t left yet, right?"


    "Who?" Staring at Sage, Mia instinctively thought of Timothy.


    Sage''s expression hardened. "That phnderer."


    "Sage, you''re referring to Timothy, right? How do you know he hasn''t left?"


    Mia had only learned that he hadn''t


    left when she saw him at the banquet earlier. Not only had he not left, but he also intended to wrest the deal away from her.


    Sage began solemnly, "Mommy, do you need me to teach him a lesson? He pestered you, right?"


    Crouching down in front of Sage, Mia said, "This is an adult matter. I can handle it, so you don''t have to get involved."


    Sage lowered his head and remained silent. Mia could tell he felt awkward.


    Patiently, she asked, "Sage, you seem to hate Timothy. Can you tell me why?"


    "I don''t. I just don''t like it when I have no choice but to ept the bone marrow he donated."


    Sage had always deemed himself as


    the pir of the family. Ever since he


    was young, he''d vowed to make Timothy regret abandoning his. mother and him. Little did he expect that he could only survive with Timothy''s bone marrow.


    Sensing Sage''s uneasiness, Mia understood his thoughts. She stroked his head and said, "Sage, you don''t have to feel uneasy about the bone marrow donation. It''s only natural for him to do so as your father."


    "W-What if he ckmails you with this?"


    Sage still seemed perturbed nheless.

    Amotion took ce outside just as she ended her sentence. All the security personnel rushed over to the scene in haste.
