Meanwhile, Caleb turned to Timothy, expressing his concern, “You heard her conditions, Obtaining the reishi mushroom won’t be easy!
“I have my own plans for this matter,” Timothy responded cryptically.
His gaze drifted toward Mia and Ginger seated together. For some reason, he couldn’t tear his eyes away from them.
As Ginger looked around, she caught Timothy’s lingering gaze. She couldn’t resist playfully swaying her feet; after all, children weren’t typically so composed.
In a whisper, Ginger voiced her concern, “Mommy, someone keeps staring at us.”
Mia was well aware of who was observing them. She glanced at Ginger and said, “Don’t worry about him.”
“Mommy, does he know who you are?”
“He probably hasn’t figured it out yet.”

the reishi mushroom. Ms. Mia, should we consider it?”
Taking a moment to ponder, Mia replied: “Let’s negotiate the terms.”
Since there was a potential buyer, Mia saw no reason to refuse.
After all, she had reservations about selling to Timothy,
Shortly after, Timothy received a call from Heath. “Mr. Barrett, the seller mentioned that they’ll give it some thought, but they’re eager to delve further into the price. It seems they’re aiming to negotiate for a higher price!”
Timothy’s gaze narrowed slightly as he observed Ginger and Mia seated at the adjacent dining table.
In a composed tone, he said, “Let’s hold off on conceding to the price for now. We should observe the situation a bit longer before making a decision.”
If Timothy were to agree too hastily on the price, Mia might become suspicious.
Caleb couldn’t help but overhear their conversation and whispered, “Tim, do you plan to send someone to approach Monalize again?”
“Mm¨Chmm.”
“That sounds like a solid plan. It’s clear she has some doubts about us. She certainly won’t agree to sell us the reishi mushrooms,” Caleb replied.
With lingering stains on his clothes from earlier, Caleb looked visibly frustrated as he continued, “Tim, I’m beginning to suspect that woman might not actually be Mia.”
Her character was utterly despicable, resembling that of a witch!
Timothy remained composed as he emphasized, “Our priority right now should be acquiring the reishi mushrooms to cure Grandma.”
As for whether that woman truly was Mia, Timothy would have plenty of time to unravel that mystery later.
“Tim, once the rain subsides, they’ll likely book the earliest available flight out of the airport. How do we plan to locate them then?”
“I’ve struck a deal with Tanner. We’ll soon uncover her true identity.”
After all, there were no secrets in this world that incentives couldn’t uncover.
Timothy’s gaze once again fell upon Ginger and Mia, his eyes piercing.
Not far away, Mia patiently waited for Ginger to finish her meal.
With a sigh of relief, she remarked, “Let’s head back to the room and pack up. Your uncles must be missing you, it’s been a while since they’ve seen you.”
“I miss them too, Mommy! I want to bring them some gifts!”
“Okay, let’s go,” Mia replied, granting permission to Ginger.
Knowing how much her brothers adored Ginger, Mia was certain they would cherish even the simplest gifts she brought them, perhaps even boasting about them on social media.
As Mia went shopping with Ginger, she was interrupted by a call from Nicholas. Her expression grew serious as she answered, “Hello, Nick. Why are you calling out of the blue? Is everything alright with Sage?”
During her pregnancy, Mia faced numerous challenges, ultimately giving birth to her two children prematurely.
However, Sage’s health had always been more fragile than Ginger’s, requiring constant care from Nicholas.
Recently, Nicholas¡® medical team developed a medication to treat Sage’s condition, but it came with uncontrollable side effects.
“The complications have manifested,” Nicholas informed.
Mia’s heart raced. “What kind of complications?”
“It’s leukemia. Sage’s platelet levels will be affected. He requires a bone marrow transplant, or we could explore the option of umbilical cord blood.”
Mia felt a surge of anxiety. “Use my bone marrow.
“I’ve already conducted tests on your blood as well as your family’s, yet none of the samples match. That’s why I’m reaching out to you. There’s still one person left to check for a bone marrow match.”
Upon hearing this, Mia immediately recalled who that person might be.
She took a deep breath and asked, “Are you certain that Sage’s father would be a compatible match?”
“In general, none of you are suitable donors. He appears to be the most likely candidate.”
“I understand.”
Mia’s gaze lingered on the vast expanse of the ocean, fully aware of the task at hand- convincing Timothy to agree to the bone marrow match.
In the event of a successful match, she would require Timothy’s consent to donate his bone marrow to Sage.
On the phone, Nicholas raised a concern, “If Timothy agrees to the bone marrow matching, he might uncover Sage’s true identity.”
“I’ll figure something out. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to save Sage.”
Regaining her composure, Mia continued, “How much time do we have left?”
“We prefer it to be as soon as possible, but definitely within a month.”
“Understood.”
After ending the call, Mia rubbed her eyes wearily. She had hoped to steer clear of any further entanglements with the Barrett family after departing from Xanier Island this time.
However, it seemed that she couldn’t evade them just yet.
Without delay, she messaged Wade: “Hold off on selling the reishi mushrooms for now.
The circumstances had shifted; the reishi mushrooms were now an essential component of the deal with Timothy.
However, N
Mia was determined not to reveal Sage’s existence, so she needed to devise a flawless plan.
“Mommy, look at the gifts I chose!” Ginger exclaimed, appearing with a bunch of plush toys, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Mia forced a smile as she walked over. “Are these presents for your uncles or you?
Since they were all plush toys, it was apparent that these were the sorts of gifts Ginger would like.
“Mommy, what’s wrong? Are you feeling sad?” Ginger couldn’t help but notice Mia’s somber expression.
Setting the toys down, she reached out and gently touched Mia’s face. “Mommy, what’s the matter?”
“Ginger, Mommy wants to have a conversation with you about something.”
Mia felt it was crucial to be honest with Ginger about the situation. After all, they had no secrets between them, and Mia didn’t want to withhold anything from her regarding this matter.
Ten minutes later, tears welled up in Ginger’s eyes. She choked back her emotions and asked, “Mommy, is Sage going to die?”
“I’ll figure something out. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to save Sage.”
Regaining her composure, Mia continued, “How much time do we have left?”
“We prefer it to be as soon as possible, but definitely within a month.”
“Understood.”
