Chapter 687

GET IT NOW

Caleb remained silent and got into the car with Ginger, who was still sound asleep. He didn’t want to

disturb her rest with their conversation.

Observing Caleb’s protective demeanor toward Ginger made Luna feel somewhat uneasy.

Sporting black sunglasses, Mia regarded Luna with a smirk. “What’s wrong? Are you surprised to see

me here? You’ve got some nerve showing up in front of me again. It seems the lesson from before

wasn’t harsh enough.”

Startled, Luna instinctively took a few steps back. The memory of her close encounter with a shark

while submerged in the ocean felt like a haunting nightmare that she couldn’t shake

off.

Nonetheless, upon realizing they were in Bern City and not Xanier Island, Luna straightened her

posture and remarked, “Ms. Monalize, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This is the domain of the Barrett

family in Bern City, not the insignificant Xanier Island.”

“I’m sorry, but I always carry myself confidently wherever I am. You better not try to provoke me, or I

guarantee you’ll regret it for the rest of your life,” Mia asserted firmly before entering the car, stealing a

glance at the sleeping Ginger beside her.

Standing outside the car, Caleb cleared his throat before addressing Luna, “Ms. Monalize is an

esteemed guest of the Barrett family. Please be mindful of your manners.”

After all, Mia had promised to supply reishi mushrooms to the Barretts, so it was essential

to treat her with respect.

Luna was utterly furious. “Caleb, how could you also fall for her deception? What makes her an

esteemed guest? She’s merely an impostor.”

“Enough, Luna. Watch what you say, or you might bring trouble upon yourself,” Caleb replied, sensing

Luna’s irrationality.

Despite already mentioning that Monalize was an honored guest of the Barrett family, Luna persisted in

making disrespectful remarks.

With that, Caleb entered the car and drove off, paying no further heed to Luna.

Frustrated, Luna stomped her foot as she watched the car leave. She couldn’t comprehend why Caleb

would bring Mia to Bern City, let alone claim she was a distinguished guest of the Barrett family.

Did Mia perhaps agree to give up the reishi mushrooms?

Luna felt a shiver run down her spine as this possibility crossed her mind. “This is troubling, “she

muttered.

Without hesitation, she flagged down a taxi and followed them to the hospital.

If the reishi mushrooms did succeed in awakening Laura, wouldn’t that also mean that the truth from

years ago would come to light?

A glimmer of hostility flashed in Luna’s eyes. This was certainly unexpected.

Luna had anticipated Laura’s demise upon her return, only to be caught off guard by the unforeseen

introduction of the reishi mushrooms, much like an abrupt twist of fate.

An hour later, the vehicle pulled up outside the hospital.

Mia looked up at the brightly illuminated hospital building before stealing a glance at the slumbering

Ginger.

Standing nearby, Caleb reassured her in a soft voice, “Joe will take care of Ginger. You don’t need to

worry. No one in Bern City would dare to cause trouble for the Barrett family.”

Upon hearing Caleb’s words, Mia finally relaxed and stepped out of the car. She followed Caleb as they

entered the hospital together.

Mia clutched the box of reishi mushrooms tightly as she watched the elevator’s display numbers flicker,

feeling an unexpected surge of nerves creeping in.

As Mia emerged from the elevator, she headed straight for the area outside the emergency.

room.

Laura was still in critical condition, undergoing resuscitation efforts. According to Caleb, the situation

appeared quite grim.

Mia glanced up and noticed Timothy’s silhouette. He was engaged in conversation with a doctor, his

handsome features displaying a serious expression, his brow furrowed in

concern.

Besides Timothy, there was a young woman with a designer handbag. As she neared, Mia caught a

strong scent of her perfume.

Caleb stepped forward and announced, “Tim, the reishi mushrooms have been successfully brought

back.”

Timothy glanced up at Mia, his intense gaze fixed on the box she held. After a moment of
