Sage was immediately upset upon hearing this. "Who told you and Mommy to do such a silly thing? I won't die without bone marrow."
Tears welled up in Ginger's eyes as she replied, "But Mommy told me that if there's bone marrow, Sage, you'll recover."
Ginger hoped that Sage could regain his health, attend kindergarten like her, and make friends with children his age.
With desperation in her voice, she pleaded, "Sage, please don't tell Uncle Dominic."
Seeing Ginger in tears on the video call, Sage's stern expression softened slightly. "Don't cry."
Sniffling, Ginger continued, "Sage, please promise me, okay?"
After a few moments, Sage reluctantly responded, "I promise."
Ginger immediately stopped crying, using her chubby little hands to wipe away her tears.
Despite a bit of snot hanging from her mouth, she managed to muster a bright smile as she looked at Sage on the video call.
With an air of maturity, Sage let out a sigh. He knew Ginger was deliberately being stubborn and tearful, but he felt powerless to stop her antics.

Sage's expression turned cold as he snorted. "Then I'll show him a thing or two today."
In a matter of moments, another computer beside him had already breached the systems of the Barrett Group.
Sage casually navigated through the internal networks, but soon enough, the corporation's firewall sounded an alarm.
