Chapter 783

Mia’s heart skipped a beat as she hastily said, “She didn’t come. Sometimes, it’s not appropriate for

children to be present.”

Frowning, Timothy turned to Sharon. “Mom, weren’t you discharged from the hospital this morning?

Why are you back here again?”

“Tim, I’ve returned to see you. Take a good look at yourself. This dire situation you’re in- it’s all a

consequence of your bone marrow donation. And forcing Luna out of the Barrett family over this, she

didn’t deserve it, did she?”

“Mom, I’ve made my decision about Luna. Either Asher stays, or she leaves with him.”

“But you can’t do that. Asher must stay! He’s your son, for goodness‘ sake.”

As Sharon brought up Asher, she purposely glanced at Mia before continuing, “Now it’s your turn.”

It seemed as though Sharon was signaling to Mia to break up with Timothy at that moment.

Mia pursed her lips, realizing that several minutes had passed. Peyton should have left with Ginger by

now.

Observing Mia’s silence, Sharon presumed she might be having doubts. She quickly added, You’re not

thinking of backing out, are you?”

Timothy furrowed his brows upon hearing Sharon’s remark. “Mom, what are you up to now?

Π

“Oh, Tim, I’m not plotting anything this time. It’s something Ms. Monalize promised me

herself.”

Timothy gazed at Mia, confusion evident in his eyes.

Mia realized she couldn’t dodge the inevitable discussion.

Locking eyes with Timothy, she began, “Mr. Barrett, I’m deeply thankful for your bone marrow donation

to Ginger. However, I believe relationships shouldn’t be forced. I don’t think we’re compatible, so…”

“So what?” Timothy interjected, his tone turning cold.

Pausing, Mia exchanged a brief glance with Sharon before continuing, “So, we should call it quits.”

As her words lingered in the air, the atmosphere in the hospital room seemed to grow noticeably colder.

Mia stole a glance at Timothy lying on the hospital bed–his demeanor growing darker, his gaze

intensifying.

Just then, his voice pierced the air, cold and sharp. “You were the one who pushed for us to be

together in the first place, and now you’re the one proposing we break up. Do you take me for a fool?”

Sharon swiftly intervened, “Tim, please don’t be upset. Ms. Monalize revealed the truth to me this

morning. She was only with you for your bone marrow. I’believe it’s best for both of you to go your

separate ways.”

Rubbing his temples, Timothy said, “Mom, could you excuse us for a moment? I need to have a word

with her.”

Mia instinctively glanced at Sharon, determined to play her role convincingly.

Without hesitation, Sharon stood up. “Tim, I’ll take charge of this matter. You two can part ways; it’s

clear you weren’t right for each other anyway.

“Ms. Monalize, please leave once your conversation is over. You have no further business

here.”

“Alright,” Mia nodded and agreed.

After wrapping up her conversation with Timothy, Mia promptly exited the room. She was eager to

leave this place as quickly as possible.

Reaching for her phone, she noticed a message from Peyton: “We’ve already taken off.”

A sigh of relief escaped Mia as she read the message, finding comfort in the knowledge that they had

already left the hospital.

Back in her hospital room, Mia opted to postpone her departure. She wanted to make sure the

helicopter had safely left Bern City’s airspace before she ventured out herself.

If Sharon hadn’t intervened so abruptly, Mia would have already left with Ginger.

As Mia settled onto the sofa, her eyes landed on the toys Ginger had left behind. Suddenly, a

wave of unease washed over her.

Two hours later, Peyton called. “Ms. Mia, we’ve left Bern City’s territory. The private helicopter is

prepared for your departure whenever you’re ready.”
