Timothy calmly descended the stairs and glanced at Mia. "You left your bag behind." Only then did Mia realize that Timothy was holding her makeup bag.

Timothy responded politely, "My daughter is sick, so it's only natural forto cand visit her." Upon hearing this, Connor suddenly erupted in anger. "You claim Ginger is your daughter, yet you almost had her aborted! "Do you even grasp the immense effort Mia put into bringing Ginger into this world? You're not worthy of being called her father." Guilt flashed in Timothy's eyes. "I know I've cup short, especially in raising Ginger. That's why I'm determined to make things right for both her and Mia." Claude sneered, "Ever heard of the phrase 'better late than never'? The Lane family lacks nothing, and certainly not your delayed attempts to make amends." Timothy asserted firmly, "Your shortcomings, or lack thereof, don't concern me. My determination to rectify the situation is solely my own." Timothy's words sparked anger in Claude. Rolling up his sleeves, he declared, "Very well, I'll personally teach you a lesson today. I've been itching to confront you for a while, and now that you've cto me, don't expectto be gentle." Mia anticipated the situation would escalate to this point.
She was on the verge of stepping in when Connor stopped her. "Mia, quickly get in the car. Let Claude handle this."

Glancing back, Mia saw a group of black-clad bodyguards advancing aggressively toward Timothy.
The situation seemed to be spiraling out of control.
Observing the scene, Mia couldn't help but ask Connor, "Will this escalate into a deadly confrontation?" "Mia, even if it does, it doesn't matter. Timothy owes you his life regardless!" "But was resorting to such violence really justified?" Mia pondered silently.
She had anticipated this outcome, which was why she had earlier cautioned Timothy against disembarking from the plane.
"Mia, you need to understand, we've been waiting for this moment for a long time," Connor stated calmly.

They had fought relentlessly to save Mia and the babies she carried.
Therefore, Connor believed that Timothy owed Mia his life. If Timothy were to meet his end in Nord City, it would be regarded as justifiable retribution.
After all, Connor and his brothers could easily orchestrate an incident to make Timothy disappear from Nord City without a trace.
Observing the anguish on Connor's face, Mia hesitated before speaking, "To be honest, | don't recall much from that time." Nonetheless, she was determined to consult with Ryan for treatment, hoping to recover her memories swiftly.
Now, Mia was filled with courage.
She was eager to uncover the truth about what transpired all those years ago!
