Chapter 683

Shortly after, Timothy received a call from Heath. “Mr. Barrett, the seller mentioned that they’ll give it

some thought, but they’re eager to delve further into the price. It seems they’re aiming to negotiate for a

higher price!”

Timothy’s gaze narrowed slightly as he observed Ginger and Mia seated at the adjacent dining table.

In a composed tone, he said, “Let’s hold off on conceding to the price for now. We should observe the

situation a bit longer before making a decision.”

If Timothy were to agree too hastily on the price, Mia might become suspicious.

Caleb couldn’t help but overhear their conversation and whispered, “Tim, do you plan to send someone

to approach Monalize again?”

“Mm–hmm.”

“That sounds like a solid plan. It’s clear she has some doubts about us. She certainly won’t agree to

sell us the reishi mushrooms,” Caleb replied.

With lingering stains on his clothes from earlier, Caleb looked visibly frustrated as he continued, “Tim,

I’m beginning to suspect that woman might not actually be Mia.”

Her character was utterly despicable, resembling that of a witch!

Timothy remained composed as he emphasized, “Our priority right now should be acquiring the reishi

mushrooms to cure Grandma.”

As for whether that woman truly was Mia, Timothy would have plenty of time to unravel that mystery

later.

“Tim, once the rain subsides, they’ll likely book the earliest available flight out of the airport. How do we

plan to locate them then?”

“I’ve struck a deal with Tanner. We’ll soon uncover her true identity.”

After all, there were no secrets in this world that incentives couldn’t uncover.

Timothy’s gaze once again fell upon Ginger and Mia, his eyes piercing.

Not far away, Mia patiently waited for Ginger to finish her meal.

With a sigh of relief, she remarked, “Let’s head back to the room and pack up. Your uncles

must be missing you, it’s been a while since they’ve seen you.”

“I miss them too, Mommy! I want to bring them some gifts!”

“Okay, let’s go,” Mia replied, granting permission to Ginger.

Knowing how much her brothers adored Ginger, Mia was certain they would cherish even the simplest

gifts she brought them, perhaps even boasting about them on social media.

As Mia went shopping with Ginger, she was interrupted by a call from Nicholas. Her expression grew

serious as she answered, “Hello, Nick. Why are you calling out of the blue? Is everything alright with

Sage?”

During her pregnancy, Mia faced numerous challenges, ultimately giving birth to her two children

prematurely.

However, Sage’s health had always been more fragile than Ginger’s, requiring constant care from

Nicholas.

Recently, Nicholas‘ medical team developed a medication to treat Sage’s condition, but it came with

uncontrollable side effects.

“The complications have manifested,” Nicholas informed.

Mia’s heart raced. “What kind of complications?”

“It’s leukemia. Sage’s platelet levels will be affected. He requires a bone marrow transplant, or we could

explore the option of umbilical cord blood.”

Mia felt a surge of anxiety. “Use my bone marrow.

“I’ve already conducted tests on your blood as well as your family’s, yet none of the samples match.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you. There’s still one person left to check for a bone marrow match.”

Upon hearing this, Mia immediately recalled who that person might be.

She took a deep breath and asked, “Are you certain that Sage’s father would be a compatible match?”

“In general, none of you are suitable donors. He appears to be the most likely candidate.”

“I understand.”

Mia’s gaze lingered on the vast expanse of the ocean, fully aware of the task at hand- convincing

Timothy to agree to the bone marrow match.

In the event of a successful match, she would require Timothy’s consent to donate his bone

marrow to Sage.

On the phone, Nicholas raised a concern, “If Timothy agrees to the bone marrow matching, he might

uncover Sage’s true identity.”
