Chapter 897
Mia scrutinized Ginger, sensing a hint of guilt in her expression. Why did she sound so
certain earlier?
Her eyes bore into Ginger’s as she asked, “Tell me, Ginger. How are you so sure?”
Ginger fumbled with her fingers nervously as she muttered, “I just know. Daddy won’t take Sage and I away from you.” He had promised her that he wouldn’t, but that was a secret
between the two of them.
Mia asked, “Who would you pick if you really had to choose?”
Ginger immediately threw herself into her arms. “Of course it’s you, Mommy.”
A surge of warmth flooded through Mia as she embraced Ginger. She planted a few kisses on Ginger, moved by Ginger’s unwavering loyalty to her.
It seemed like she was merely speculating earlier. Timothy hadn’t met Ginger that often,
after all.
“I’ll bring you to the hospital later. Remember to not blow your own cover,” Mia reminded
her.
“Alright, Mommy.”
Mia took Ginger’s hand and said, “I promise I’ll find a suitable chance to let Timothy know
abo and Sage once Sage gets better.”
She had always wanted to protect her children. However, she also came to realize that her children had begun to develop their own opinions, judging from what Ginger said earlier.
If her children insisted on meeting Timothy, she wouldn’t stop them. Still, all this had to wait until Sage recovered completely.
Mia even role–played a scene where Timothy came to visit after a discussion with Ginger. Given her previous experience, Ginger was exceptionally good this time. Her act should be able to fool Timothy.
Eva didn’t suspect anything when Mia used shopping as an excuse to take Ginger out with her after lunch. Since she mentioned that Ginger had never received treatment from the Lane’s private hospital, she brought Ginger to another public hospital.
Timothy would definitely be suspicious if she suddenly brought Ginger to the Lane’s private
1/2
hospital. A successful act required meticulous planning, after all.
Mia rang
Caleb after she settled Ginger at the hospital. He picked up immediately, but it was Timothy who was on the other end of the phone.
“Where’s the hospital?”
Mia took a deep breath and told him the address.
“I’ll come over right away.”
“I hope you’ll keep your promise after you visit Ginger. Leave Nord City immediately and don’t disturb our lives.”
“I will keep my word.” Timothy hung up promptly. He would keep his promise, but he never said that he’d stay away from their lives completely.
Caleb glanced over at him. “How did it go? Did you get the address?”
“Yeah. I’ll get going now.” Timothy didn’t want to waste any more time. He yearned to be at the hospital now. Apparently, this was the only excuse he could use to see Mia and Ginger.
Caleb remarked, “Tim, you’ve changed a lot. You used to dislike kids, don’t you?”
He cast a quick glance at the gifts Timothy bought. It seemed impossible for them to fit in a car. Last night, Timothy acted like a shopping addict by having nearly bought out the entire baby store at the mall. He’d never seen Timothy in such a reckless and impulsive state.
Timothy got into the car and took out a small toy. He recalled the embarrassment he felt when he only had 500 dollars to spend at a store back then.
