Timothy remained composed as he typed his response: "That's right."
"I've just come from the hospital after seeing Luna. She has a noticeable gash on her face, and if not treated promptly, it's likely to result in a permanent scar."
Maintaining his composure, Timothy replied: "I see."
"Did Mia seriously do this? She's left Luna disfigured and is even pushing for her imprisonment. It's been four years, but she appears to be an entirely different person now."
Caleb's understanding of the situation shifted dramatically as soon as Sharon confirmed that Monalize was indeed Mia Bowen.
What had previously been mere speculation now stood as an undeniable truth.
Timothy glanced at the sleeping Mia before him and calmly typed his response: "Luna should face the consequences of her actions. This was all orchestrated by me. I offered Luna a chance, but she didn't appreciate it."
"To be honest, this situation is quite challenging. I never expected Luna to do something like this. She seems different from the person I once knew," Caleb said.
Caleb was also shocked to learn that Luna had secretly stolen Timothy's bone marrow—a crucial element in Ginger's life-saving treatment. Caleb couldn't help but feel some resentment toward Luna.
Interfering with a child's life-saving treatment was completely unacceptable!
Timothy didn't say much; he simply asked Caleb to keep an eye on Sharon, wanting to ensure that her and Luna wouldn't cause any further trouble.
As Timothy returned to his seat, he noticed that Mia had already fallen asleep.
Upon seeing her face, his expression became unreadable. In truth, he had spent all these years searching for her, and he couldn't quite fathom why—he just couldn't bring himself to let her go.
Perhaps, as Caleb once suggested, Timothy started developing feelings for Mia four years ago, but he didn't recognize it then, or maybe he simply didn't want to acknowledge it.
