Mia pushed Timothy's hand away. "Why does it matter to you whether or not Ginger was sick?""It matters, Mia. I could forgive you for lying about the bone marrow issue because I know she isn't really sick. How could you use her supposed illness as an excuse? She's just a child.""This doesn't concern you, and you don't need to know the truth." Mia remained resolute."As a bone marrow donor, don't I have the right to know the truth? Don't I have the right to know who I have saved?"Mia pursed her lips and pondered if she could keep hiding the truth from Timothy. She met his gaze. "Whether you know it or not, it won't change anything. I'm grateful to you for helping the person who received your bone marrow.""Mia, do you think I care about your gratitude? Do you have any idea how relieved I was when I found out Ginger wasn't actually sick?"She hung her head in silence. She didn't want anyone to think ill of Ginger or judge her daughter because of a supposed illness. But at that
Mia felt a rush of relief flood through her as she finally confessed the truth.Keeping this secret had been a heavy burden, and she longed for the day when Sage could come out into the public without having to hide anymore.Timothy was stunned by the revelation. "Two children? A boy and a girl?"A whirlwind of emotions swept through him. He never imagined she was pregnant with twins.The idea of having his own children seemed like a distant dream. But now, not only did they exist, there were two of them.Mia pushed Timothy away and retorted, "Yes, they're twins. But what gives you the right to ask about my other child now? Do you even know how hard it was for me to bring them into this world? "When I fell at the Barrett villa, I nearly lost both of them due to a miscarriage. The doctors had given up hope. They said my children's chances of survival were almost nonexistent. Where were you then?"He froze upon hearing that and said bitterly, "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."
Timothy asked softly, "May I know if the child is a boy or a girl?""Does it matter?" Mia responded."No. I'm just asking out of curiosity. How is his condition now? Is there anything else I can do to help with his treatment?"Her feelings were a blend of emotions as she conveyed, "His current progress in physical recovery is promising. But it's not a complete recovery. "The duration of the ongoing treatments required for him to achieve full health remains uncertain."Timothy asked anxiously, "What's his illness? I'll gather the best medical team in Bern City right away. I refuse to believe we can't nurse him back to health.""Okay. Please don't say things like that. He is receiving treatment at my family home. One day, he will recover," Mia said."Can I see him?"Thinking of how Sage had reacted to Timothy earlier, Mia hesitated before saying, "He doesn't want to see you."Timothy struggled emotionally and asked, "Does he really hate me?"Mia nodded. "Yes. The children have
Sage texted a few friends in the group chat. He wanted Timothy to leave Nord City and never set foot in Bern City again, ensuring that he would never disrupt Mia's life.Sage quickly pinpointed Timothy's phone number and identified his current location using the phone's signal. Before long, Sage discovered that the signal was coming from a hotel.Sage instructed with a straight face, "Hack the hotel's system immediately and locate the room where he is staying."He must teach Timothy a lesson so that he could not remain in Nord City.A person in the group chat asked, "Sir, did he offend you? What should we do to deal with him later?""That's right. He offended me, but everyone must obey my orders. No one should take any action without my permission." After Sage finished speaking, his fingers swiftly danced across the keyboard. Today, he had to teach him a lesson.Meanwhile, Timothy had returned to the hotel and his secretary handed him a glass of water. "Mr. Barrett, would you lik
Timothy fell into silence as he recalled the events of four years ago.Caleb lifted his head and said, "Honestly, I believe you had no other option back then."Timothy placed the glass on the table and asserted, "Ultimately, it is my responsibility.""Then what are you planning to do?""I don't have any specific ideas yet, but I'll definitely make it up to Mia and the children, no matter what."Timothy glanced at his watch and exclaimed, "Hold on a moment, is there another international conference going on?"The secretary nodded and replied, "Indeed, Mr. Barrett. But you look quite tired now. Perhaps it would be wise to postpone the meeting until tomorrow. You really need to rest.""There is no need for a postponement. Start the meeting now."The secretary hesitated for a moment and glanced at Caleb who was sitting beside Timothy, silently urging him to assist in convincing Timothy not to rush into work. Caleb let out a sigh and discreetly shook his head. In fact, he empathiz
The secretary beside him exclaimed, "I sense that the hacker who breached our system this time is quite similar to the one who hacked the company before."Caleb said, "I've heard about it. Someone intentionally attacked your company's official website last time. However, it seems that you were unable to apprehend the hacker. Now, it seems the hacker has targeted your laptop once again, specifically aiming at you."Timothy looked at the screen. "I know."At first, he thought that the hacker was merely trying to provoke him and make a lasting impression. Later on, he eventually took the initiative to extend an olive branch, only to have his offer rejected. Despite the setback, he did not push the issue. In the past, he had faced similar challenges and had successfully recruited numerous talents this way. Therefore, he did not dwell on the recent turn of events.However, while he was in Nord City this time, his laptop was unexpectedly attacked by the hacker. The hacker used a clown
Caleb nodded in agreement. "Exactly, do you feel the same way? I was starting to doubt myself earlier. That hacker sitting across from the computer must be quite young. Otherwise, why would he utter such childish words? And that 'Humph' he used! Tim, he even called you narcissistic!"Timothy gazed at the response on the screen and couldn't help but sense that the hacker on the other end of the computer was indeed pretty young.Caleb exclaimed urgently, "We must devise a plan to extract information from this hacker. I can't help but find the origin of this hacker suspicious. Our trip to Nord City has been shrouded in secrecy, so how could he possibly be aware of it?""What should I say next?" Timothy asked, feeling somewhat uncertain due to his limited experience in dealing with someone young."Tim, why don't you let me deal with this little brat? I'm good at it."Timothy passed the keyboard to Caleb, who promptly typed, "I'm not being narcissistic. If you're uninterested in me, th
Caleb's eyes widened as he wondered where the IP address was.Timothy glanced at the deciphered address and then turned the screen over. "The research institute."Timothy was taken aback when he noticed the IP address just now. He never anticipated that the IP address of the young hacker would be traced back to the research institute.Wasn't this the place where he followed Mia during the day? That research institute was being run by Nicholas.Caleb exclaimed in disbelief, "I can't believe this. Didn't you mention that the other twin child was also undergoing treatment there? Do you think it's possible..." Caleb's words trailed off, but it was clear what he was trying to say.Could this young hacker be the other twin?For a brief moment, Timothy's heart raced. He quickly turned his attention to the conversation on the other laptop, still fixated on the sentence Caleb had just sent. After such a long time, there was still no response.Timothy's fingers trembled slightly. If Caleb
