Upon hearing Timothy's declaration, Connor and Jason's expressions shifted abruptly. They couldn't help but wonder: Had Timothy somehow learned the truth about the bone marrow donation?
But then Timothy continued, stating, "Ginger is my daughter too. I have every right to remain by her side and ensure her recovery!"
Connor breathed a sigh of relief at Timothy's words. It appeared that Timothy was still unaware of whether the bone marrow was intended for Ginger or Sage.
At that moment, Jason sternly intervened, saying, "Mia risked her life to bring Ginger into this world. And let's not forget, it's been the Lane family's effort to raise her over the years.
"You have no right to be by Ginger's side. If you're even considering attempting to gain custody of her, I strongly suggest you drop that idea right now!"
Given his experience as a lawyer, Jason had encountered many divorce cases before, giving him a good understanding of men's thoughts in such situations.
Throughout this time, Timothy brazenly lingered in Nord City, adamantly refusing to depart from Mia's side. He even insisted that he wouldn't leave until Ginger had fully recovered.
Nonetheless, his true intentions remained hidden. Behind the scenes, he could be scheming to secure custody of Ginger.
Despite this, Ginger and Sage rightfully belonged to the Lane family, and their custody was not up for grabs.
As Timothy steadied himself against the wall, he met the gaze of the Lane family with a steely resolve. "I have no intention of contesting custody of Ginger," he asserted firmly. "You have my word on that."
Yet, beneath his outwardly reassuring words, there was a dual implication. Timothy's desire for custody of Ginger was intertwined with his longing for Mia to return to him.
In his heart, he yearned for the restoration of his family—his wife and his child.
However, Timothy wisely kept those thoughts to himself, knowing that expressing them aloud could lead to dire consequences.
"Hey, Barrett, I'll give you credit for having some insight, but even if you attempt to pursue custody, you won't succeed. Have you forgotten what I do for a living?
