Chapter 721
Meet My Brothers
Timothyâs demeanor shifted abruptly upon hearing about the test results.
He rose from his chair swiftly, his voice deep as he declared, âIâll be there immediately.â
After ending the call, Timothy left the meeting room abruptly without offering any explanation, leaving
the group of executives puzzled.
Given Timothyâs reputation for his dedicated work ethic, it was unusual for anyone to answer a call
during a meeting.
No one had ever witnessed Timothy taking a call and leaving a meeting suddenly. Could this be the
end of the world?
Outside, Timothy grabbed his suit jacket and instructed Heath, âHave the
vice president continue to chair the meeting. I expect a resolution by
tomorrow.â
âUnderstood, Mr. Barrett. Where are you headed?â Heath inquired.
âTo the hospital.â
Heath could likely guess whose call Timothy had just taken.
After all, only Monalize had the power to disrupt Timothyâs usual routine.
After concluding the call, Mia glanced at Tyler and said, âYou know what to do when he gets here, donât
you?â
Adjusting his glasses, Tyler replied, âYes, Mr. Mendes has instructed us accordingly. Sageâs blood
sample has been dispatched, and weâll promptly proceed with the bone marrow matching test.â
âThanks for your help.â
Contemplating the possibility of Sageâs recovery from his illness, Miaâs spirits lifted. She hoped
everything would proceed smoothly this time.
Shortly after, Timothy arrived at the hospital.
He couldnât help but notice Miaâs slightly reddened eyes; it appeared as though she had been crying.
Timothy softened his tone and inquired, âWhereâs the doctor? Iâm here for the matching test.â
Mia had prepared numerous arguments to persuade Timothy, fully aware that the primary objective was
to persuade him to donate his blood for a bone marrow match.
However, she was caught off guard when his first words were about the matching procedure.
A glimmer of surprise flickered in her eyes. âMr. Barrett, this is indeed a pressing situation, and
considering weâre in Bern City, youâre our only hope for assistance.â
âI understand, thereâs no need to worry. Iâve arranged for the finest medical team to come immediately,
and they will certainly treat Ginger,â Timothy
assured.
Mia drew in a deep breath, fixing her gaze on him. âItâs my turn to thank you this time.â
If Timothy were to cooperate and donate his bone marrow, she planned to offer him the remaining
reishi mushroom before leaving Bern City.
Accompanied by the nurse, Timothy proceeded to the blood collection room.
As he observed his blood being drawn, a touch of sorrow weighed in his eyes. Ginger was undeniably
charming, affectionate and full of energy; he had never anticipated her falling ill.
Following the blood extraction, he asked the nurse, âWhen can we expect the matching results?â
âThe test results will be available the day after tomorrow. However, thereâs
no need to worry. The biological father of the child usually demonstrates a high compatibility rate,â the
nurse reassured Timothy.
Timothy paused, taken aback by the nurseâs words. The biological father of the child?
As he glanced at the nurse, he sensed that she might have mistakenly
assumed he was Gingerâs father. Without inquiring further, he quietly stood up and left the room.
As he stepped outside, he spotted Mia waiting anxiously. Despite her usual confidence, there was a
hint of worry and vulnerability in her eyes, making her appear more like a concerned mother.
Approaching Timothy, Mia handed him a candy. âThe blood draw must have been painful, right?â
Timothy looked down at the candy Mia offered and replied calmly, âIt wasnât painful. Iâm not a fan of
sweets.â
âBut Dr. Valoz did mention that the later part of the matching process might cause some discomfort,â
Mia added, unwrapping the candy and holding it up to Timothyâs lips.
Almost instinctively, Timothy accepted and ate the candy. As the overly sweet taste filled his mouth, he
furrowed his browsâit was sweeter than he
expected.
Mia grinned with satisfaction. âThis is Gingerâs favorite candy. Sheâs quite afraid of needles and blood
draws, so I bought this to cheer her up.â
