Chapter 782

Ginger held onto Mia’s hand. “Mommy, will Tim be in pain? He gave a lot of blood!!

With her eyes closed, Mia delicately stroked Ginger’s head, keeping her lips sealed.

She knew that everything would be over soon.

After the extraction procedure, Timothy lay on the hospital bed, appearing visibly weakened in his loose

patient attire.

Mia entered the room with Ginger, taking a deep breath before asking, “How are you feeling?”

“I’m okay,” Timothy replied.

He glanced at Ginger and reassured her, “Ginger, look, it’s not too bad, right? You don’t need to worry.”

Ginger approached and held Timothy’s hand, blowing on it gently several times. “Blow, blow, let the

pain fade away.”

Timothy’s lips curved into a smile as he reached out to pat Ginger’s head, feeling his heart

melt.

Glancing at Mia, he suggested, “Ginger has been waiting outside for so long. You should take her back

to rest.”

Mia nodded reassuringly. “Okay, you take good care of yourself.”

She gently clasped Ginger’s hand, signaling it was time to depart. Before they left, she lowered her

head and whispered to Ginger, “Say goodbye to him.”

Ginger turned and waved. “Bye–bye!”

Timothy settled back onto the bed, a smile lingering on his lips as he watched Ginger and Mia leave.

With a bit of rest, Ginger would swiftly regain her health.

After Mia and Ginger left the ward, they swiftly made their way down the stairs. Turning to Peyton, Mia

asked, “Where’s the donated bone marrow?”

“It’s been securely preserved. To avoid arousing suspicion, a helicopter has been arranged for

departure tonight.”

“Understood,” Mia affirmed.

She drew in a deep breath, feeling her nerves tingle with anticipation.

It was already 5:00 pm, with just a few hours remaining before their departure.

Looking up at Mia, Ginger asked, “Mommy, are we leaving tonight?”

Mia gently caressed Ginger’s head as she replied, “Yes, we’re going to bring the bone marrow back to

save Sage. He’s been patiently waiting in the sterile chamber.”

Although Mia sensed Ginger’s reluctance to leave Timothy, she knew they couldn’t dwell on it now.

Their priority was to return quickly with his bone marrow.

As night fell, Mia quietly prepared to depart with Ginger.

As they approached the elevator to ascend to the rooftop for their helicopter ride, Mia and Ginger

unexpectedly encountered Sharon.

Maintaining her composure, Mia addressed her, “Mrs. Barrett, what do you

want?”

“I need to have a word with you.”

“Mrs. Barrett, rest assured, I won’t go back on the promise I made to you this morning.”

“Hmph, that’s precisely why I’m here. To ensure you won’t backtrack, you must come with. me now and

inform Tim in person that you’re ending things with him. Only then will I believe what you say,” Sharon

demanded.

Mia’s brow furrowed in response. “But Timothy is still recovering. Can’t we postpone this discussion to

tomorrow?”

“No! This has to be resolved now. I can’t risk any surprises you might have up your sleeve later.”

Mia was somewhat unnerved. If Sharon were to delay them now, who knew what unforeseen events

might unfold later on?

Without further deliberation, Mia swiftly turned to Peyton and instructed, “Take Ginger

downstairs for a walk. You don’t need to wait for me.”

Understanding Mia’s intention, Peyton nodded and led Ginger away.

Turning to Sharon, Mia asked, “Is Timothy awake?”

“If he’s still asleep, we’ll just wait for him to wake up. Given the big sacrifice Tim has made, I’m sure

you can afford to be patient.”

“Let’s get going then,” Mia replied.

She was just trying to buy some time, hoping Peyton could smoothly depart with Ginger on the

helicopter.

Following Sharon, Mia soon arrived at Timothy’s hospital room, coincidentally finding him awake.

A pang of guilt struck Mia as she saw Timothy conscious. Meeting her gaze, Timothy asked, “Where’s

Ginger?”
