Chapter 611
Meet My Brothers
Timothy had never imagined finding himself in a scenario where heâd be escorting a young child from
the
airport to a hotel.
He certainly wouldnât confess that his decision was swayed by the childâs resemblance to someone
else.
Ginger turned her head toward him. âMister, are you interested in my mommy too?â
Timothy raised an eyebrow. âYouâre thinking too much.â
âMister, my mommy is really pretty, and many people try to win her over. But Mister, you seem nice. I
could ask my mom to let you skip the line.â
Timothyâs patience reached its limit. He glanced at Heath. âYou handle this.â
After a
all he had no interest in Gingerâs mother whatsoever.
He was simply prompted by Gingerâs familiar appearance, compelling him to perform a small act of
kindness.
Heath swiftly interjected from the passenger seat, saying, âHey there, sweetie. Mr. Barrett simply wants
to reach out to your mom to arrange for her to pick you up.
âWe just want to ensure your safety, considering weâre the ones who brought you here from the airport.
Ginger recited a sequence of numbers. However, upon Heath dialing the number, it produced a busy
tone, indicating that the phone was switched off.
Turning to Timothy, Heath asked, âItâs turned off. What should we do?â
Timothy, too, was at a loss. He gazed at Ginger seated beside him and asked, âWhatâs your momâs
name? We can ask the hotel staff to assist us in locating her room.â
Ginger wiggled her small feet, her large dark eyes darting around. âMister, my mommy works here at
the
hotel. I know how to find her. Goodbye, Mister!â
This time, Ginger had ventured out to find her dad without her momâs knowledge.
Consequently, she had no intention to reveal her momâs name, especially since her mom wasnât
present.
With her chubby little hand, Ginger opened the car door and hurriedly made her way toward the hotel,
her
steps unsteady.
Timothy glanced at her briefly before turning his attention away, preparing to head to the underground
parking lot. He shut his eyes for a short rest.
âMr. Barrett, itâs not safe for such a young child to go find her mother alone, especially in a place like
Xanier Island where there are all sorts of people. What if she encounters someone with malicious
intentions and ends up in trouble?â
Frustrated, Timothy opened his eyes. âWhy donât you consider a career switch and become a nanny?â
Nonetheless, Timothyâs attention was drawn to the red umbrella lying beside him, forgotten by Ginger.
He rubbed his temples in frustration. âStop the car!â
Initially, he had no time to spare for taking care of Ginger, let alone locating her mother.
However, Gingerâs face, strikingly similar to someone from his past, continued to haunt his thoughts,
making it hard for him to stay composed.
As the car came to a halt. Timothy swiftly retrieved the red umbrella and strode toward the hotel
entrance.
Heath hurriedly followed suit; he was aware that Timothy wouldnât simply abandon Ginger in such a
situation.
Upon stepping into the hotel lobby, Timothy scanned the area swiftly but found no sign of Ginger.
His brow creased. Where had she disappeared to?
How could she vanish without a trace so quickly?
Heath wasted no time and approached a nearby hotel staff âHave you seen a young girl, around
three or four years old, entering the hotel alone? She has pigtail braids and is carrying a small
backpack.â
The staff member shook their head. âToday we had many guests, including several with children who
were dressed similarly to her. We didnât pay much attention. Could it be that this gentlemanâs child got
lost?â
Timothyâs lips tightened coldly. âNo.â
The staff member appeared puzzled, prompting Heath to quickly clarify, âSheâs not Mr. Barrettâs child,
but weâre acquainted with her. Can you please check the surveillance footage?â
âIâm sorry, sir, but we canât access the hotelâs surveillance footage casually; we donât have the authority
to do so.â
