A daring speculation took shape in Timothy's mind.
Caleb paused momentarily. "If not Ginger, who could the patient be?"
"The last sentence."
"Mia was so confident that your bone marrow would match with the patient's?" Caleb realized something as well. "Tim, are you guessing that you have another child?"
Mixed feelings began to stir in Timothy's stomach as he nodded. "Yes, a hidden child."
"But, Tim, even if Mia had given birth to another child with another man, why was she so confident that the bone marrow would be a match?"
As soon as Caleb finished, the air in the car turned chilly.
Anger clouded over Timothy's features as he glared at Caleb.
Caleb gulped. "W-What?"
Heath, who was sitting in the passenger seat, chimed in, "Maybe, Ms. Mia was pregnant with a twin back then!"
Caleb slapped his thigh upon realization. "Oh, right! Why didn't I think of that?"
"If you can't use your brain efficiently, you can donate it to those that need it," Timothy warned.
"Oh, calm down, man. You knew that she was pregnant, didn't you? And you suspected that the child belonged to another man. You even wished for her to abort the baby. Plus, you didn't know that it was a twin?"
That hit the sore spot.
Timothy loosened his tie. "I didn't notice. I wasn't in the right state of mind back then."
After all, he misunderstood Mia at that time, thinking that she was a gold-digger.
Caleb gloated over Timothy's misfortune. "Tim, if you had a chance to turn back time, would you suggest a divorce?"
Timothy growled, "If I had a chance to turn back time, I wouldn't have saved you from drowning in the sea when you were ten years old."
