Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686 

Mia turned to Caleb and remarked, “So, this is why Mr. Barrett was seeking reishi mushrooms? 

“But as far as I know, reishi mushrooms aren’t capable of treating incurable diseases; they’re primarily used to prevent muscle atrophy and stimulate neurons. 

“Typically, only those with full–body paralysis or in a vegetative state would require reishi mushrooms.” 

“Yes, Tim’s grandmother has entered a vegetative state, so she needs reishi mushrooms.” 

Timothy’s grandmother? 

Laura? 

Mia’s brow furrowed as she recalled the details from her investigation, realizing that it was Laura who had orchestrated her marriage into the Barrett family as a commoner. 

Although it initially seemed like Mia had a stroke of luck, marrying someone on their deathbed left her pondering whether it was ultimately a blessing or a curse. 

However, this situation also presented an opportunity. 

Mia nodded thoughtfully before remarking, “So, Mr. Barrett needed the reishi mushrooms for a sick family member. I had assumed he intended to sell them for profit.” 

“Ms. Monalize, Tim is the heir of the esteemed Barrett family in Bern City. Money is hardly an issue for him. He truly is obtaining these mushrooms for his grandmother. So, may I kindly request that you sell them to us?” 

Mia narrowed her eyes slightly. “This matter is open to negotiation, but I must personally verify whether or not you’re trying to deceive me. Coincidentally, I have a project to discuss in Bern City, so I’ll take this opportunity to visit!” 

Ginger and Caleb were taken aback by her declaration. 

Mia glanced at them, her expression tinged with a hint of awkwardness. “What’s wrong? Can’t I drop by?” 

Caleb quickly nodded, confirming, “Certainly, you can, Ms. Monalize. As long as you’re willing to sell us the reishi mushrooms, we’re open to any conditions. I’ll arrange the plane tickets immediately. Do either of you have any objections?”

Ginger promptly raised her hand. “None at all.” 

Mia glanced at Ginger, waiting until Caleb stepped away to make the ticket reservation call. She then leaned down and whispered to Ginger, “Do you want to accompany me to Bern City?” 

“Yes, Mommy. If I stay behind, how will your plan work? Besides, I’m quite good at pretending to be sick, so he surely won’t suspect it’s for Sage’s treatment.” 

Mia affectionately patted Ginger’s head and smiled, saying, “Alright, then we’ll pay a visit to the Barrett family in Bern City.” 

Mia was also curious about the place that had caused her so much distress before. 

An hour later, Mia discreetly escorted Ginger to the airport. 

Even Wade remained oblivious to their plan. 

If Wade were to find out, her brothers would soon follow suit, and they certainly wouldn’t approve of her visiting the Barrett family in Bern City. 

But for Sage’s sake, this journey was necessary. 

As the plane ascended into the sky, Mia watched the shrinking silhouette of Xanier Island below. Contemplating Sage’s illness, her gaze hardened with determination. 

Seven hours later, the aircraft touched down at Bern City International Airport. 

Mia gently lifted the sleeping Ginger from her seat. Despite Ginger’s excitement during the flight, she had drifted off to sleep just before they landed. 

Mia’s arms began to ache from carrying Ginger; after all, Ginger had grown considerably.
