Chapter 826
Rachel suffered from a rare disease similar to Sage’s, preventing her from leading a normal
life.
While Sage’s condition was somewhat more manageable, stemming from various
complications due to premature birth, Rachel’s illness presented greater challenges due to its rarity.
Nonetheless, Rachel had grown accustomed to her condition.
As she looked at Sage, a hint of excitement painted her expression.
“Finally, Sage can receive treatment. I thought he would be pestering me in the lab for the rest of my life. Once he’s treated, he’ll probably want to leave quickly. Kids can be quite a handful.”
Who
Unfazed, Sage retorted, wants to stick around here anyway?”
Observing their playful banter, Mia could discern the strong bond between Rachel and Sage. With a smile, she said to Rachel, “I believe things will improve one day.”
“I’m optimistic too. I’ve been researching a new medication lately that I’m confident will cure my illness.”
“I’m certain it will.”
Mia was aware that despite Rachel’s physical ailments, she possessed exceptional intelligence.
Over the years, Rachel had contributed significantly to the development of numerous
medications in Nicholas‘ lab.
Unfortunately, none of them had been effective in curing her illness.
Shortly after, Nicholas arrived with the medical team. He turned to Mia and informed her, The bone marrow has been examined, and everything looks good. We will commence treatment now. Please wait outside.”
Mia nodded, casting a reassuring glance at Sage. “Hang in there, Sagey! Mommy will be waiting for
you outside.”
Upon hearing his nickname, Sage’s expression darkened. “Mommy, you’re not allowed to call me that anymore.”

After all, he had a name, and it wasn’t “Sagey.”
Mia replied somewhat regretfully, “Why not? I think it’s a lovely nickname, similar to your
name.
Her daughter was named Ginger Lane, and her son was named Sage Lane.
As Mia exited the treatment room, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a worried expression.
Nicholas had pointed out that even with the bone marrow matching treatment, there was no guarantee of Sage’s complete recovery.
Despite this, Mia clung to the hope that this treatment would allow Sage to attend school and socialize like any other child. That would be enough for her.
While waiting outside, a sudden realization struck Mia.
She turned to Peyton beside her and instructed, “Have someone look into the situation with Claude and Timothy at the airport. If Timothy has passed away, I’ll need to arrange for his body to be brought back.”
Peyton nodded in acknowledgment. “I’ll dispatch someone to the airport immediately to assess the situation.”
Not long after, Dominic and Eva arrived, accompanied by Ginger.
Upon seeing Mia, Ginger dashed over to her. “Mommy, is Sage going to get better?”
Mia reassured her, “Yes, Sage will be healthy like you after this surgery. It’s all thanks to you, my little hero. You saved Sage.”
Ginger beamed with pride; she had always been conscious of her intelligence.
As the surgery stretched on, Ginger eventually drifted off to sleep while waiting outside.
At that moment, Mia caught sight of Claude entering, his expression grim. She also noticed a wound at the corner of his mouth, likely from the recent altercation.
Had Timothy caused this injury?
