Chapter 768
Looking down, Mia’s voice trembled with sorrow as she continued, “I’ve always felt this heavy guilt about Ginger. She never really had a father figure in her life, and now she’s dealing with this illness.
“Hospitals are the last place she wants to be. I just wish I could take all her pain away and bear it for her.”
As Mia finished speaking, Timothy suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace, his eyes reflecting regret.
Mia remained silent, her lips pressed together. In reality, she had chosen her words carefully, aware that Timothy probably already suspected Ginger’s true identity as his daughter.
Her words were meant to appeal to his sympathy.
After a moment, Timothy’s voice resonated above her, “She’ll be back on her feet soon. The doctors have assured me that once I donate my bone marrow, Ginger’s recovery will be swift.
“And if there are any further complications, I’m ready to cooperate with
whatever procedures are necessary.”
Given that Ginger was his daughter, Timothy felt a sense of duty to do everything within his power for her well–being.
As Mia wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, she murmured, “I hope we never have to face such a day.”
Passing her a tissue, Timothy reassured her, “In the meantime, cherish your time with Ginger. I’ll proceed with the bone marrow donation as planned. We can store the sample, so there’s no rush for Ginger’s treatment.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Taking the tissue, Mia wiped away her tears. “Honestly, it’s been years since I
last cried.”
“I’ll do everything in my power to make sure Ginger is safe and well. You don’t
need to worry about these things anymore.” Timothy’s voice was firm and resolute, his gaze carrying a hint of depth.
Understanding the implicit meaning behind his words, Mia nodded. “Thank you.”
“Get some rest.”
With that, Timothy walked away.
Watching him enter the elevator, Mia’s expression faltered slightly.
She knew that her temporary façade of playing the victim and concealing the truth wouldn’t hold for long.
It was likely that Timothy would confront her about their past once he completed
the bone marrow donation.
Mia needed to act swiftly.
She reached for her phone and called Nicholas. It was essential to arrange. everything meticulously to ensure the smooth retrieval of Timothy’s bone
marrow.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the ward, Timothy returned to find an unexpected visitor waiting for him.
His voice was cold as he asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Well, when I heard you were hospitalized, I hurried over, worried sick that you might have some incurable disease or something.
“But imagine my surprise when I discovered you’re here to donate your bone marrow. I mean, who’s so important that you’re doing this for?”
Caleb was taken aback, sensing there was more to the situation than met the eye. That was why he rushed over to witness the scene firsthand.
Timothy gave the nosy Caleb a cold stare and replied calmly, “It’s for a little girl
who’s sick.”
“Who are you talking about?” Caleb paused, taken aback, and asked, “Is it
Ginger?”
“Yes, it’s her.”
