Well, Mia couldn't care less as long as she could take off immediately and head to Nord City.
She took out her phone and texted in her family group chat, "I'm on the plane now. I'll be back soon." Dominic replied instantly, "Alright, I'll send someone to pick you up." Eva chimed in, "I've already picked up Ginger. Don't worry, I'll take good care of her." Mia naturally trusted Eva to take care of Ginger. She was the only maternal figure in the Lane family, after all.

Just then, a series of footsteps echoed outside the private jet.
Mia set her phone aside. She noticed that someone was boarding the plane with a suitcase. As she furrowed her brows, it finally dawned on her that she'd been waiting for another guest for the past ten minutes.
Her mood soured instantly. She wondered who this shameless person was. How dare he make her wait for so long? A man in a fine suit strode in, stunning Mia with his familiar chiseled features.
"Why, it's you!" Why was Timothy heading to Nord City? "Why do you look so disappointed to see me? Were you expecting another man?" Mia nodded. "I was wondering which shameless bastard madewait for ten minutes. Who knew it was you!" "I'm sorry. | was stuck in a jam." Timothy settled down promptly next to her. The space around her seemed to shrink palpably.
Amused, Mia said, "So, you're leaving for Nord City as well. Why didn't you say so earlier? | might even let you tag along in my ride." "Forget it. I'm worried that you'll kickout of the car." Timothy was quite self-aware.

Do you think | was following you there?" Mia raised her brows. "I think it's quite obvious. I'm not blind, you know." "Of course, | also plan to check on Ginger's treatment on this trip. She's my daughter after all. Is there anything wrong withvisiting her when she's ill?" His words rendered her speechless. Still, she probed him earlier because she suspected that he had discovered something.
It turned out that he might really just be there for Ginger. It wasn't because he found out about the secret about the bone marrow.
Timothy's influence wasn't that great in Nord City, so she wasn't worried about him finding out anything. Even if he did, he couldn't do anything in Nord City.
The plane soon took off.
Mia chanced a glance at him. "Aren't you afraid of being reprimanded by my brothers? They all resent you because of what happened back then." Timothy replied calmly, "Fortune favors the bold, and misfortune cannot be avoided." Now that he knew she was Mia, he had to pay a visit to the Lanes. What happened years ago had been too sudden, after all. He yearned to know why the Lanes faked Mia's death and hid her away for so many years.
