Chapter 767

Mia couldn’t help but sigh. “Ginger overheard from a nurse that she might lose her hair during the

procedure, so she refuses to take injections or medication.”

Timothy frowned in response. “Does it really cause hair loss?”

“Yes, it’s a potential side effect. As you’re aware, she’s preparing to enter the vacuum chamber, but

she’s been having tantrums the entire time. I’ve been trying to comfort her but without success.”

Mia managed a bitter smile, looking visibly exhausted.

Noticing this, Timothy intervened, “I’ll go and have a chat with her.”

With that, he opened the door and stepped into the ward.

Observing his departure, Mia swiftly composed herself before following him into. the room.

Inside, Ginger was huddled up, tears still lingering in her eyes, her long lashes. clumped together from

crying.

Observing Ginger’s distressed expression, Timothy’s heart instantly softened. ” Why the tears? Are you

feeling scared?”

“I’m not scared at all!” Ginger retorted, stealing a glance at him. Yet, beneath her bravado, she felt a

pang of guilt for pretending.

Earlier, tears had welled up in her eyes upon learning about Sage’s upcoming hair loss from

chemotherapy.

“I brought you a gift. Open it up and take a look.” Timothy remarked as he presented the gift box to

Ginger. His gaze lingered on her face, which bore a striking resemblance to Mia’s.

At that moment, a small crack appeared in his typically stoic demeanor.

He hadn’t expected this little girl to be his daughter.

No wonder he had felt a strong sense of familiarity and warmth when he first met Ginger outside Xanier

Island Airport.

It was fortunate that he had acted as a good Samaritan that time, rescuing Ginger from the roadside

and taking her to the hotel.

Otherwise, he couldn’t fathom the potential dangers she might have encountered.

However, Timothy’s absence over the years had left him feeling indebted to Ginger.

Ginger eagerly reached out and opened the gift box, revealing a princess–themed cake inside. Her

eyes widened in amazement. “Is this a cake?”

“Yes, I heard it’s quite delicious.”

Mia hadn’t expected Timothy to bring a cake. However, it was a delightful gift that Ginger would surely

enjoy.

Walking over, Mia picked up a plate and cut a small piece for Ginger.

Pouting, Ginger protested, “I want the big piece.”

“No, you can’t have too many sweets…”

As Mia began to speak, Timothy intervened, placing the large piece of cake in front of Ginger. “You can

have it all today.”

“Thank you, Mister!” Ginger’s face lit up with joy as she grabbed the plate, resembling a little squirrel.

Mia felt a bit helpless, but she didn’t interfere with Ginger indulging in the cake. She tasted a small

portion herself and found it to be truly delicious.

Timothy gazed at Ginger and asked, “Do you know the story behind this cake?

“Mmm, I do! The evil sorcerer captured the princess, but then the great chef made a cake named

‘Courage‘ for everyone to enjoy.

“After eating it, nobody feared the evil sorcerer anymore. Eventually, they defeated the villain and

saved the princess.”

A smudge of frosting lingered at the corner of Ginger’s mouth.

Timothy chuckled, “Exactly, eating this cake should give you courage too.”

Upon hearing this, Ginger lowered her head silently and continued eating her

cake.

Seeing the situation, Mia quickly intervened, suggesting, “Maybe we should give. her some time to

prepare for the procedure.”

This delay was precisely what she needed.

Once Timothy began donating his bone marrow, Mia could arrange for someone to discreetly collect

the sample, allowing her to leave Bern City with Ginger.

For now, her main objective was to alleviate Timothy’s suspicions.

After dinner, Mia accompanied Timothy out of the ward.

She paused briefly before saying, “Thank you for bringing the cake. Ginger seems to be in better spirits

now.”

Lowering his gaze, Timothy asked, “When is Ginger scheduled for the procedure?

“It depends on when she feels ready. I can’t push her. Besides, she’s still quite. young and doesn’t

understand much.”
