Chapter 918

Sage set aside the paper he had been holding. "You were quick to act

just now. It's a good thing I was here with you."

When Ginger received the call on her Apple Watch earlier, Sage

happened to be nearby. Upon hearing Caleb's words, he immediately

sensed it was a ruse.

Fortunately, Sage discreetly stepped in to prevent Ginger from

revealing too much, even going as far as jotting down a response for

her on paper.

Given the ambiguity of the conversation, Caleb likely wouldn't take

Ginger's words seriously.

Resting her chin on her hand, Ginger pondered, "Why doesn't Mommy

let Daddy know about you? If he knew you were unwell, he'd surely

shower you with gifts.”

"Hmph, I'm not interested in his presents," Sage replied with a serious

expression.

After all, Sage wasn't as gullible as Ginger. He was well aware of how

Timothy had abandoned Mia.

Had it not been for Mia's brothers finding her in time, she would have

faced considerable hardship.

These were not matters that Timothy could simply dismiss with a few

casual words and some inexpensive gifts.

"Sage, Daddy really isn't that awful. He buys me so many gifts and

often texts me to ask if anyone is bothering me."

"Don't be fooled by him. Mommy hasn't forgiven him yet. You're just a

little traitor!" Sage exclaimed.

At the mention of "little traitor,” Ginger immediately grew anxious. "I'm

not a little traitor! I will always support Mommy!"

"But you were just praising that man a moment ago! You're being a little

traitor!"

Furious, tears welled up in Ginger's eyes; she certainly didn't consider

herself a betrayer.

Just then, Mia pushed open the door and entered the ward. "What's

going on? Are you two arguing?"

Ginger rose to her feet, huffing indignantly. "You're so dumb, Sage. I

don't want to talk to you anymore."

With that, she stormed out of the ward without looking back.

Mia couldn't help but glance at Sage. "What happened?"

"She's just a bit petty, getting worked up over a few words."

"But she's your younger sister; you should be kinder to her."

Sage replied arrogantly, “I'm doing her a favor by telling her the truth.

You all spoil her too much. She might end up being taken advantage of

in the future.”

Seeing Sage behave like a little adult, Mia couldn't help but feel

exasperated. "Stop acting so grown-up. You're only four years old,

you're not a forty or fifty-year-old man."

As Mia spoke, she affectionately tousled Sage's hair.

Sage's expression shifted uneasily as he asked, "Mommy, now that I'm

feeling better, when will you send that man away from Nord City?"

Mia paused briefly before replying, "He'll be leaving soon. Why do you

ask?"

“It's nothing. Since I've recovered from my illness, I don't need that

man's assistance anymore. It's pointless for him to stay around."

"I understand. You don't need to concern yourself with him."

Mia's main focus at the moment was Sage's well-being.

Thus, following their ruse with Timothy at the hospital today, Mia

promptly brought Ginger to visit Sage.

While Sage's recovery was progressing positively, he hadn't completely

regained his health.

Mia had initially believed that with a timely bone marrow transplant,

Sage would fully recover and lead a normal life like any other kid.

However, reality didn't always align with expectations.

Despite this, Sage's health had shown remarkable improvement. He

was now able to attend kindergarten, albeit with some precautions due

to his medical condition.

For Mia, seeing Sage well was a relief in itself.

She couldn't help but sneak a glance at Sage, noticing his uncanny

resemblance to Timothy.

Mia's gaze grew complex as she asked, "Sage, would you like to meet

him?"

The "him" she referred to was Timothy.
