Chapter 619
Ginger rolled her eyes and asserted confidently, “Mommy says if you brush your teeth properly, you won’t get cavities!”
Caleb hobbled out, feeling more wretched than he had ever felt in his life.
As he settled onto the sofa, he fixed a stern gaze on Ginger. “Who sent you here?” he inquired.
“The heavens did!” Ginger shot back.
“What’s your mommy’s name?”
“I already told you. My mommy’s name is Little Fairy.”
After a barrage of inquiries, Caleb felt emotionally drained, placing a hand over his chest. “I can’t believe
I’ve run into you!”
“Well, looks like you’re stuck with me! That’s life’s challenge for you!” Ginger retorted defiantly.
Upon hearing this, Timothy instinctively glanced at Ginger, his eyes settling on her small, round face reminiscent of someone from his past; Mia had uttered those same words once.
A trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes; Mia had passed away four years ago due to severe bleeding from a miscarriage.

Nonetheless, Timothy never
believed it!
He gazed at Ginger standing before him. “Now that you’ve found the person you were looking for, when
do you plan to return?”
Ginger huffed in frustration, declaring, “If I had known he was such a jerk, I wouldn’t have bothered
coming.”
Caleb was perplexed.
He felt as though he had chosen the wrong day to leave the house!
Timothy spoke in a composed tone, “Which part of Nord City do you live in? I’ll purchase a plane ticket
and arrange for someone to escort you back.”
Caleb’s surprise was evident as he exclaimed, “Hey, kiddo, you’re from Nord City? What’s your name?”
Ginger arrogantly turned her head. “I don’t feel like answering your question.”
Taking control of the conversation, Timothy intervened. “Her name is Ginger Lane.”
Caleb pondered her name for a moment, sensing a discrepancy but unable to identify it.
Ginger turned away from Caleb, displaying her evident disdain for him.
Timothy glanced at her. “You still haven’t answered my question.”
With a pout, Ginger replied, “Chesterfield.”
Caleb found himself momentarily lost in thought. The esteemed Lane family resided in Chesterfield, the capital of Nord City.
Adding to his intrigue, Ginger shared the Lane surname and bore a striking resemblance to Mia. Could all of this be mere coincidence?
Timothy swiftly turned to Heath, instructing him, “Arrange the closest available flight for her and send someone to escort her to the airport.”
Heath promptly complied. After ending the call, he informed Timothy, “Mr. Barrett, due to the storm today. Xanier Island Airport is closed, and all flights are suspended.”
“When do they expect flights to resume?” Timothy asked.
“It could be as late as tomorrow. We’ll need to assess the weather conditions then,” Heath responded. Timothy cast a helpless glance at Ginger. “It seems you won’t be able to return today.”
Ginger leaned in closer to him, her voice pleading. “Tim, could you please let me stay over tonight? I promise to behave!”
Turning to Caleb, Timothy quipped, “Did you hear that? She’ll be bunking with you tonight!”
“What?”
“I don’t want to!”
Caleb turned his gaze toward her. “Aren’t you here to find your dad? Why don’t you want to share a room with me? Do you dislike me or something?”
