Chapter 769

Timothy proceeded to give a brief explanation of how Mia’s identity was exposed.

Caleb leaned back on the sofa. “So, that’s how it went down. I told you from the start that Ginger might

be your daughter, but you didn’t believe me!

“You even called me an irresponsible scumbag. Well, who’s the real scumbag now?”

“You don’t need to bring that up,” Timothy replied sharply.

After changing into loose hospital attire, he settled onto the sofa. “She still hasn’t admitted to being Mia.

Don’t interfere too much when you visit tomorrow.”

Caleb appeared somewhat taken aback. “What’s happening? You’ve already shown her the evidence.

Why is she still refusing to admit it?”

Timothy paused before answering, “She claims she has amnesia.”

In reality, he had initially planned to expose her, but seeing Mia’s pitiful state when speaking about

Ginger, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

“Timothy, are you really falling for TV drama clichés like amnesia?”

“I honestly struggle to believe it.”

However, Timothy’s decision not to expose Mia’s identity earlier was also to prevent upsetting her

emotionally.

Caleb sighed in response, “But that does make sense. Your relationship with Mia was turbulent before,

and then there was the incident in your family, where Mia

almost lost her children.

“She probably still holds some resentment toward you deep down, which is why she’s refusing to admit

she’s Mia.”

Timothy was well aware of this, which was why he hadn’t called out Mia’s

amnesia ruse.

Plus, with Ginger’s illness, he found it increasingly challenging to confront the

situation.

“Tim, I suggest you act as though you’re unaware and handle this situation delicately. Let’s wait until

Ginger’s health improves before discussing it with Mia. After all, Ginger’s condition isn’t currently

stable.”

“For now, that seems like the most sensible approach.”

The thought of Ginger undergoing surgery at such a young age weighed heavily on Timothy’s

shoulders.

The following day, after accompanying Ginger for breakfast, Mia spotted Caleb emerging from the

elevator with a gift in hand.

Caleb announced, “I’ve come to see Ginger.”

“She’s inside.”

Mia was aware of Caleb’s close friendship with Timothy, so she wasn’t surprised to find him visiting

while Timothy was hospitalized.

Entering the hospital room, Caleb spoke up, “Ginger! Look at what I got for you.”

Ginger’s eyes sparkled with excitement, but she quickly masked her emotions, pretending to be in a

slightly bad mood. “What’s this?”

As he approached her, Caleb opened the box. “It’s one of those mystery boxes

that sold out on Xanier Island last time.‘

Ginger exclaimed, “Does it have hidden items too?”

“Yes, all twelve hidden items are inside.”

“Wow!” Ginger was ecstatic.

Seeing Ginger so delighted brought a smile to Caleb’s face. He had made sure to acquire the hidden

items from scalpers the previous night, knowing how much Ginger would love them,

After spending some time playing with Ginger, Caleb and Mia left the room together.

“You can rest assured about Ginger’s treatment. Tim has already coordinated

with a top–notch medical team to oversee her recovery,” Caleb assured.

Mia’s smile dimmed slightly at his words. After all, such arrangements were

unnecessary.

Nonetheless, she maintained her composure and replied, “I understand, Mr. Gomez. And thank you for

the lovely gift you brought for Ginger.”

“Don’t mention it. Tim’s a close friend. Besides, I’ve grown quite fond of Ginger. It almost feels like fate.

If you ever find yourself needing assistance in Bern City, please don’t hesitate to reach out.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” Mia replied. She could sense Caleb’s genuine concern for Ginger.

Continuing the conversation, she asked, “How’s Mr. Barrett doing? I’ve heard that donating bone

marrow involves quite a few shots, and there can be some side effects too, although I suppose it varies

from person to person.”

“He’s scheduled for the procedure this afternoon. If you’re worried, why don’t you join me to check on

him?”

“That sounds like a plan.”

Mia saw this as an opportunity to showcase her acting skills.
