Upon saying this, Timothy was momentarily taken aback. His words had slipped out and sounded more as an unconscious suspicion than a deliberate statement.
Despite this, Timothy had indeed entertained suspicions that Mia was keeping something from him.
He had several other theories in his mind, and the one he vocalized was just one among them.
Upon careful consideration, Timothy realized that this speculation might be the most accurate. If Mia had nothing to hide, why would she be so insistent on his departure from Nord City?
Surely, she was concerned that he might uncover whatever secret she was concealing.
Considering Nord City belonged to the Lane family, Mia's anxiety about his presence there seemed unwarranted.
Indeed, something felt amiss about the entire situation.
Caleb was caught off guard by Timothy's statement. "Tim, why do you think it's not Ginger who's sick? Do you have any basis for that speculation?"
"If I had solid evidence to support my suspicion, I would have already investigated and resolved the matter. Right now, I don't have any proof to back up my theory. It's just that Mia's behavior in this situation strikes me as odd," Timothy explained.
"Tim, are you perhaps overanalyzing this? I highly doubt Mia would joke about something as serious as Ginger's health. Besides, I don't see any reason for her to deceive you.
"Even if she did, there must be a deeper motive behind it, don't you think? Could it be possible that she's after the bone marrow you donated?"
After all, human bone marrow was considered a rarity, not readily accessible to everyone.
Timothy remained silent. In reality, he hadn't fully grasped the situation either; it was mere speculation on his part.
"But Tim, it's hard to believe Mia would fabricate such a massive lie just to obtain your bone marrow. Remember the incident with Mrs. Barrett swapping the bone marrow? Mia was furious.
