Chapter 684

“I’ll figure something out. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to save Sage.”

Regaining her composure, Mia continued, “How much time do we have left?”

“We prefer it to be as soon as possible, but definitely within a month.”

“Understood.”

After ending the call, Mia rubbed her eyes wearily. She had hoped to steer clear of any further

entanglements with the Barrett family after departing from Xanier Island this time.

However, it seemed that she couldn’t evade them just yet.

Without delay, she messaged Wade: “Hold off on selling the reishi mushrooms for now.

The circumstances had shifted; the reishi mushrooms were now an essential component of

the deal with Timothy.

However, N

Mia was determined not to reveal Sage’s existence, so she needed to devise a flawless plan.

“Mommy, look at the gifts I chose!” Ginger exclaimed, appearing with a bunch of plush toys, her eyes

sparkling with joy.

Mia forced a smile as she walked over. “Are these presents for your uncles or you?

Since they were all plush toys, it was apparent that these were the sorts of gifts Ginger would like.

“Mommy, what’s wrong? Are you feeling sad?” Ginger couldn’t help but notice Mia’s somber

expression.

Setting the toys down, she reached out and gently touched Mia’s face. “Mommy, what’s the matter?”

“Ginger, Mommy wants to have a conversation with you about something.”

Mia felt it was crucial to be honest with Ginger about the situation. After all, they had no secrets

between them, and Mia didn’t want to withhold anything from her regarding this

matter.

Ten minutes later, tears welled up in Ginger’s eyes. She choked back her emotions and asked,

“Mommy, is Sage going to die?”

“I’ll figure something out. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to save Sage.”

Regaining her composure, Mia continued, “How much time do we have left?”

Ten minutes later, tears welled up in Ginger’s eyes. She choked back her emotions and asked,

“Mommy, is Sage going to die?”

Mia held Ginger close and reassured her, “No, he won’t. If the bone marrow match is successful, Sage

will be alright.”

Ginger nodded obediently in response. “Yes, Mommy, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll do everything I can

to complete the mission!”

Mià affectionately kissed Ginger’s forehead and remarked, “You’re such a trooper.”

“For Sage, it’s not difficult at all. He’s the one I love the most.”

Ginger was aware that Sage’s health condition hindered him from having a regular childhood, such as

going to kindergarten.

Hence, Ginger was determined to help Sage recover as soon as possible.

After Mia and Ginger returned from their shopping trip, Wade approached Mia. “Ms. Mia, the buyer is

demanding an explanation for why you’re canceling the deal. They seem quite

anxious.”

“No matter how anxious they are, it won’t change anything. Just inform them that the reishi mushrooms

are no longer available for sale.”

Mia had different plans for the reishi mushrooms now.

Upon receiving the confirmation, Wade promptly rejected the buyer’s offer.

Timothy quickly received the news, his expression turning sour. With a frown, he asked, Did they offer

any explanation on why they suddenly withdrew from the sale?”

“They quite adamant in their decision; they simply stated they wouldn’t sell the mushrooms anymore.”

“Could it be that Ms. Monalize was aware that we’re the potential buyers?” Caleb asked, sounding

slightly puzzled.

Standing nearby, Heath interjected, “That shouldn’t be the case. We’ve been extremely careful, so it’s

unlikely that we would have been discovered so soon.”

Timothy, too, was perplexed, unable to decipher Mia’s intentions.

Just then, Timothy’s phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he paused for a moment before answering,

“Hello.”

“Mister, are you busy?” Ginger’s sweet voice came through from the other end of the line. Timothy

couldn’t help but soften his tone as he replied, “I’m not busy at all. What’s the
