Chapter 776

Mia couldn’t help but feel surprised by Timothy’s unexpected trust in her.

Awkwardly, she responded, “I had the surveillance footage prepared. I was waiting for your arrival to

prove my innocence. But it seems that won’t be necessary now.”

Timothy gazed at her intensely. “Do you honestly think I’m incapable of distinguishing right from

wrong?”

“When sneaky women are in the picture, guys often seem drawn to those they perceive as vulnerable.

It’s a factor I can’t afford to overlook,” Mia explained.

Timothy couldn’t shake the feeling that Mia’s words held a deeper meaning, almost as if she were

subtly mocking him.

Glancing at Ginger in the hospital room, Timothy spoke up, “Is she prepared?”

Mia responded casually, “For now, her emotions seem to have settled. I informed her that when it’s

time for your blood draw, she shouldn’t let your kindness go to waste. I trust she’ll be cooperative when

the moment arrives.”

Timothy nodded in response. “We can proceed the day after tomorrow.

After a moment of contemplation, Mia asked, “Now that your mother is aware of the situation, I have a

feeling she will strongly oppose your bone marrow donation. Are there any concerns from her side?”

“I’ve already talked to my mother about the bone marrow donation process. It seems her reluctance

mainly stems from not fully understanding it.”

Mia nodded in acknowledgment. “That’s good to know.”

However, she doubted Sharon would be receptive to reason. Even if Timothy clarified the intricacies of

the bone marrow donation to her, Sharon likely wouldn’t consent to it.

So, ultimately, it all came down to Timothy’s commitment to donating his bone marrow to Ginger.

Nonetheless, Mia couldn’t help but suspect that Timothy might have already figured out her and

Ginger’s identities, hence his strong determination to donate his bone marrow.

Despite this, Mia refrained from saying anything further. After all, as Ginger’s father, Timothy bore a

responsibility to act accordingly.

The next day, Timothy began receiving injections, finalizing his preparations.

Mia accompanied Ginger to visit Timothy, who looked frail and pale as he lay in bed.

Observing his condition, Mia promptly questioned the doctor, “He doesn’t seem well. Is everything

okay?”

“This is the most challenging stage. He’ll improve after today. The medication he’s receiving is only

temporary, but it does come with significant side effects.”

Ginger approached Timothy and gently took his hand, softly breathing on it. “It won’t hurt anymore after

I blow on it.”

Summoning his strength, Timothy turned to Ginger. “Stay strong. There’s nothing to fear,” he reassured

her.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll be brave!”

Timothy mustered a smile and gently patted Ginger’s head. “Once I’m finished tomorrow, I’ll be right by

your side. You won’t have to worry when I’m around.”

“Okay!” Ginger chirped happily, holding Timothy’s hand close to her face, her cheek brushing against it.

Witnessing this tender moment, Mia suddenly glanced up at the ceiling. Despite her plan progressing

smoothly, a pang of guilt lingered deep within her.

After all, she had been deceiving Timothy all along!

As Mia contemplated her next words, the hospital room door swung open forcefully.

“Tim! Tim, what happened?”

Dressed in a patient gown, Sharon swiftly rushed into the room.

Upon seeing Timothy lying pale on the hospital bed, she was instantly enraged. “You said you were

okay. Look at you now, do you really think you look okay?”

“Mom, why are you here? I really am fine.”

As Sharon caught sight of Ginger by the bed, she exclaimed, “So, this is the leukemia- stricken burden,

huh?”

With a solemn expression, Ginger corrected her, “I’m not a burden!”

“If you’re not a burden, then what are you? Born without a father’s care, you’re nothing but a liability!”

Mia’s expression turned cold, and she stepped forward to shield Ginger.

Mia locked eyes with Sharon, her tone defiant. “Do you feel no shame speaking like this in front of a

child?”

Sharon scoffed, “What’s the problem? Did I say something inappropriate?”

Ginger peeked out from behind Mia and stated, “Yes, you’re wrong. Mommy said that a child nobody

loves is the real burden.”

“How can you claim you’re loved when you don’t even have a father?”

Timothy pleaded, “Mom, please stop.”

In a crisp voice, Ginger spoke up, “But I do have a father! Tim is my daddy!”
