Chapter 721 Timothy's demeanor shifted abruptly upon hearing about the test results.
He rose from his chair swiftly, his voice deep as he declared, “I'll be there immediately.” After ending the call, Timothy left the meeting room abruptly without offering any explanation, leaving the group of executives puzzled.
Given Timothy's reputation for his dedicated work ethic, it was unusual for anyone to answer a call during a meeting.
No one had ever witnessed Timothy taking a call and leaving a meeting suddenly. Could this be the end of the world? Outside, Timothy grabbed his suit jacket and instructed Heath, “Have the vice president continue to chair the meeting. | expect a resolution by tomorrow.” “Understood, Mr. Barrett. Where are you headed?” Heath inquired.

After all, only Monalize had the power to disrupt Timothy's usual routine.
After concluding the call, Mia glanced at Tyler and said, “You know what to do when he gets here, don’t you?” Adjusting his glasses, Tyler replied, “Yes, Mr. Mendes has instructed us accordingly. Sage’s blood sample has been dispatched, and we'll promptly proceed with the bone marrow matching test.” “Thanks for your help.” Contemplating the possibility of Sage’s recovery from his illness, Mia's spirits lifted. She hoped everything would proceed smoothly this time.
Shortly after, Timothy arrived at the hospital.
He couldn’t help but notice Mia’s slightly reddened eyes; it appeared as though she had been crying.
Timothy softened his tone and inquired, “Where's the doctor? I'm here for the matching test.” Mia had prepared numerous arguments to persuade Timothy, fully aware that the primary objective was to persuade him to donate his blood for a bone marrow match.
However, she was caught off guard when his first words were about the matching procedure.
A glimmer of surprise flickered in her eyes. “Mr. Barrett, this is indeed a pressing situation, and considering we're in Bern City, you're our only hope for assistance.” “I understand, there's no need to worry. I've arranged for the finest medical team to cimmediately, and they will certainly treat Ginger,” Timothy assured.
Mia drew in a deep breath, fixing her gaze on him. “It’s my turn to thank you this time.” If Timothy were to cooperate and donate his bone marrow, she planned to offer him the remaining reishi mushroom before leaving Bern City.
Accompanied by the nurse, Timothy proceeded to the blood collection room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he observed his blood being drawn, a touch of sorrow weighed in his eyes. Ginger was undeniably charming, affectionate and full of energy; he had never anticipated her falling ill.
Following the blood extraction, he asked the nurse, “When can we expect the matching results?” “The test results will be available the day after tomorrow. However, there's no need to worry. The biological father of the child usually demonstrates a high compatibility rate,” the nurse reassured Timothy.
Timothy paused, taken aback by the nurse’s words. The biological father of the child? As he glanced at the nurse, he sensed that she might have mistakenly assumed he was Ginger’s father. Without inquiring further, he quietly stood up and left the room.
As he stepped outside, he spotted Mia waiting anxiously. Despite her usual confidence, there was a hint of worry and vulnerability in her eyes, making her appear more like a concerned mother.
Approaching Timothy, Mia handed him a candy. “The blood draw must have been painful, right?” Timothy looked down at the candy Mia offered and replied calmly, “It wasn’t painful. I'm not a fan of sweets.” “But Dr. Valoz did mention that the later part of the matching process might cause sdiscomfort,” Mia added, unwrapping the candy and holding it up to Timothy's lips.
Almost instinctively, Timothy accepted and ate the candy. As the overly sweet taste filled his mouth, he furrowed his brows-it was sweeter than he expected.
Mia grinned with satisfaction. “This is Ginger’s favorite candy. She's quite afraid of needles and blood draws, so | bought this to cheer her up.”
