Upon receiving the news, Mia jolted upright from her seat, her mind suddenly blank.
Truth be told, when she had informed Luna about Laura regaining consciousness, it had been a lie. Deep down, Mia knew the chances of Laura waking up were slim.
Yet, she never imagined Laura actually waking up. It felt like a true miracle, an unexpected stroke of luck.
"How did the doctors react? How is Grandma doing now?"
"I've just landed and am on my way to the hospital. The details are still unclear, but the doctor said Grandma waking up is nothing short of miraculous.
"And I have to thank you for sending those two stalks of reishi mushrooms earlier. They might have played a part," Timothy replied.
"Grandma Laura has always been incredibly kind to me. Sending those two stalks of reishi mushrooms was the least I could do. If it helps her wake up, I'd buy ten more without hesitation," Mia expressed earnestly.
Even now, Mia couldn't shake the memory of Laura's unwavering familial love during her orphaned days, when she had been rejected by everyone else.
Soon, the distant sound of airport announcements echoed in the background of Timothy's phone call, signaling his arrival at the terminal.
After a brief pause, Mia suggested, "You should hurry to the hospital to see Grandma Laura."
Timothy hesitated before making a request, "Could you bring Sage and Ginger to see Grandma for a moment? It would surely bring her joy to know you have offspring with the Barrett family.
"Plus, having the children around might give her more strength to hold on."
Mia fell into a thoughtful silence upon hearing Timothy's words. "I'll definitely visit Grandma in Bern City. However, regarding the children, I need some time to discuss it before giving you an answer. I can't make a decision right away."
She knew that if Dominic and the others found out about this, they would surely disapprove. They had been staunchly against Mia maintaining any further ties with the Barrett family.
"Alright, I'll await your response," Timothy agreed.
