Timothy took it. No one knew what he was up to. “Did you buy them off?” he asked Caleb.
“Yes. But what are you going to do with this? If the Lane family looks into this, I can’t guarantee if the paparazzi will remain tight-lipped or not.”
“Think of something to make sure that doesn’t happen,” Timothy instructed.
“Okay, I will do it. What are you going to do with this? I thought you hated the paparazzi.”
Caleb hired a paparazzi as soon as he saw Timothy’s message. No questions were asked.
“To announce my relationship with her to the public, of course,” Timothy said nonchalantly.
“Man, you barely got the chance to stay in Nord City after staying low-profile. If your relationship revealed, her brothers will surely come after you.”
“I know, but I won’t be able to get close to her before I convince her brothers.”
Caleb paused. “You’re right.”
Timothy kept the USB. “Found anything new about Raymond’s secret deal with Yellow Island?”
“We don’t have any definite evidence for now. They’re doing a good job covering it up. If you want to gather evidence, I’m afraid you must work with them.”
“Continue looking into it.”
“Why do you want to investigate this though? It’s none of your concern.” Caleb was curious.
“That’s true, but the Lane family is involved.”
Chapter 1041
Mia returned to the Lane residence with the Princess Arulan balloon.
Eva raised her brow. “For Ginger?”
Mia felt guilty when she saw Eva.
After all, the paparazzi almost took pictures of her meeting with Timothy. It was fortunate that she managed to notice their presence in time.
Otherwise, her brothers would catch wind of it tomorrow. And how was she supposed to explain herself?
Mia paused. “Yup. I saw someone selling balloons by the road. Ginger said she likes them, so I bought one for her.”
“She’ll love it.” Eva didn’t suspect anything.
Mia breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon after, Nicholas contacted Mia, “Sagey’s condition has been improving lately. You can take him home when you’re ready.”
“Really?” Mia got excited. She had been looking forward to the day Sage could come home and live like a normal kid.
Her wish would finally come true!
“Yes. If you have time, you can pick him up two days later.”
“I have time. Of course, I have time!” Her voice was trembling and tears pooled in her eyes. “Nicholas, thank you so much.”
If Nicholas hadn’t been researching how to treat Sage’s illness, they wouldn’t have been able to see this much improvement in Sage’s condition.
No, to be exact, Nicholas was the only one not giving up when all the other doctors had given up on treating Sage.
Without Nicholas, Sage wouldn’t have been able to come this far.
Noticing her choking voice, he smiled. “This is my duty. I watched him grow up since he was young. I delivered him too. He’s like a son to me.” She wiped off her tears. “I know. We’ll throw a welcome party at home. You’re cordially invited.”
“Thanks.” Nicholas terminated the call and noticed that Sage was standing next to him. He asked
Sage, “Is there something you’d like to tell your mother?” S
Sage shook his head. “Uncle Nicholas, are you going to prepare a gift for my mother at the welcome party?”
“What for? Shouldn’t I give you a present instead?”
Sage sighed. “You’re stupid, Uncle Nicholas. Back then, Mom didn’t think about her love life because of me. But ve fully recovered now, which means she will have the time
This is a great opportunity. You must make the first move.”
to think about her love life the net
Nicholas chuckled softly. “Is it appropriate for me to do that?”
“No doubt, You’re being too careful, Uncle Nicholas. You’ve been waiting for her to be ready, but it’s impossible to be fully ready for a relationship. You have to be more aggressive.”
Nicholas nodded. “Okay. I’ll do as you say.”
Sage nodded in acknowledgment.
Timothy hadn’t told him about the full story of the war between the hackers.
As time passed, Sage began to wonder if Timothy had realized his identity.
Regardless, Sage wouldn’t let Timothy win Mia’s heart back again!
To Sage, Nicholas and Mia were the perfect match.
Sage returned to his room. Taking his phone out secretly, he texted Timothy, “If you don’t tell me the stories, I’m going to block your number.”
Chapter 1042
Sage was pissed off. At the same time, he was itching to test whether Timothy knew his identity or not.
On the other hand, Timothy received Sage’s message. His mood plummeted as soon as he read the text.
His brows creased tightly as though he was facing a life crisis. “Caleb, come here.”
Whenever Timothy conversed with Sage, he would need Caleb by his side to assist him.
Well, Caleb had many tricks to make one happy.
It had been days. Considering Sage’s temper, Timothy thought Sage would’ve already deleted his number long ago.
But Sage didn’t!
Caleb came over. “Seems like you can’t drag it any longer. You better tell him the whole story.”
Timothy showed hesitance. “But he’ll surely delete my number after that.”
“I know. Tell him the story and make something up to make him stay.”
“Like what?”
“I can’t say anything for sure. Just feed him the story first. I’ll decide the next step based on his reply.”
Like a relationship coach, Caleb was guiding Timothy on how to make a kid happy.
Caleb pressed down Timothy’s hand. “Send him a voice message. No texting this time.”
Timothy hesitated. Actually, it was nerve-wracking for him to send Sage a voice message.
It would be his first time talking to Sage!
Still, he did as Caleb told him.
“That year, the terrorists threatened us and came in the way. It was a huge issue and most of the members withdrew from the team But there was someone who fought with me. We personally destroyed the terrorists’ nest and exposed their videos and addresses. No one dared to cover the news up when it went out of control.”
Sage waited for a long time only to receive a long voice message.
He hesitated, wondering why the sly man sent a voice message instead of texting.
Still, his curiosity prevailed. He clicked the voice message.
Timothy’s gruff voice seeped into Sage’s ear, recounting what happened that year.
This was Sage’s first time hearing Timothy’s voice.
Sage had mixed feelings because he realized that he didn’t hate it. In voice caught Sage’s attention.
In the end, Sage texted, “Who’s that person who fought with you?”
“I don’t know either. All I know is his ID. The Duke. He’s from Nord City. I don’t know the rest. After that battle, we never contacted each other. We didn’t exchange contacts.” Timothy sent another voice message.
After the online battle, peace was restored.
“The Duke?” Sage asked.
That code name rang a bell for Sage for some reason.
