Ch. 781..790
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 781-Mia woke up groggily, her gaze instinctively falling on the sleeping Ginger. She signaled to Peyton and quietly slipped outside.
Yawning, she asked, “What’s going on?” “Mrs. Barrett woke up this morning and insisted on jumping off the building to commit suicide!” Suicide?
Mia’s drowsiness vanished instantly, her brows furrowing. “I knew that old woman wouldn’t give up easily.” “Ms. Mia, Mrs. Barrett also insists on seeing you. The doctors and nurses are all over there trying to talk her out of it.
“You don’t need to rush over. Mrs. Barrett is likely just putting on a show, pretending to want to jump off the building for everyone to see.” “Take me there,” Mia instructed.
She knew she had to go see Sharon.
Despite the severe side effects Timothy endured from his injection yesterday, Timothy had not mentioned anything about it.
Considering it a favor to him, Mia decided to confront Sharon and find out what tricks she might be up to this time.
Following Peyton, Mia made her way to the hospital room Sharon was in. The area outside was already swarming with guards, doctors, and nurses.
As Mia calmly entered the ward, someone announced, “Mrs. Barrett, she’s here.” Upon hearing this, Sharon immediately burst into tears, exclaiming, “Don’t you dare try to stop me! If anyone dares to take Tim’s bone marrow, I’ll jump from this hospital building!” With a single glance, Mia saw through Sharon’s facade. She addressed her directly, “Were you looking for me?” J “I won’t allow Tim to donate his bone marrow. If he continues to disobey me, then I’ll jump from here. Let’s see if he chooses his mother or a mistress like you.” Mia pulled a chair over and sat in front of Sharon. “Come on, just give it to me straight.” “But those were my honest thoughts.” “If that’s truly the case, you should confront Timothy directly instead of sending someone to find me! What are your conditions? Spit it out,” Mia demanded, seeing through Sharon’s ulterior motives.
Sharon’s face immediately lit up. “I know I can’t stop Tim from donating his bone marrow, but if I really wanted to, I could take certain measures.” “So, what’s the deal?” Mia’s patience was running thin.
“My condition is that you must end your relationship with Tim. You can’t be with him,” Sharon asserted.
Mia arched an eyebrow. “Is that all?” She had expected Sharon’s condition to be more demanding.
Sharon looked confused. “W–what do you mean?” “It’s nothing. I can accept that condition, but you have to promise not to meddle with the bone marrow donation anymore,” Mia replied.
She put on a slightly uneasy and guarded expression to swiftly dispel Sharon’s earlier suspicions, feigning reluctance to adhere to her condition.
Upon Mia’s consent, Sharon breathed a sigh of relief. “Just remember to keep your promise. I won’t hesitate to take action against you and your daughter otherwise.” Standing up, Mia assured her, “Don’t worry, I won’t backtrack on my word.” Initially, Mia had planned to leave after securing Timothy’s bone marrow.
In a sense, that scenario could be likened to a breakup, couldn’t it?
As Mia left Sharon’s hospital room, Peyton spoke up, “Ms. Mia, have you ever faced such unjust treatment before? It’s outrageous that you had to submit to the Barretts like this.” Observing Sharon’s threats toward Mia, Peyton couldn’t contain her indignation.
Mia’s lips curved into a slight smile as she replied, “As long as the bone marrow donation proceeds smoothly, these threats are meaningless to me.” After all, Mia’s top priority was ensuring Sage’s smooth recovery. Therefore, a temporary compromise didn’t faze her at all.
In the arbetsson, the blood drawing process for Timothy officially began.
Msa stood quietly, dasping Ginger’s hand tightly. Her emotions were a complex whirlwind as she observed the scene unfolding before her. Finally, the long–awaited day had arrived.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 782-Ginger held onto Mia’s hand. “Mommy, will Tim be in pain? He gave a lot of blood!!
With her eyes closed, Mia delicately stroked Ginger’s head, keeping her lips sealed.
She knew that everything would be over soon.
After the extraction procedure, Timothy lay on the hospital bed, appearing visibly weakened in his loose patient attire.
Mia entered the room with Ginger, taking a deep breath before asking, “How are you feeling?” “I’m okay,” Timothy replied.
He glanced at Ginger and reassured her, “Ginger, look, it’s not too bad, right? You don’t need to worry.” Ginger approached and held Timothy’s hand, blowing on it gently several times. “Blow, blow, let the pain fade away.” Timothy’s lips curved into a smile as he reached out to pat Ginger’s head, feeling his heart melt.
Glancing at Mia, he suggested, “Ginger has been waiting outside for so long. You should take her back to rest.” Mia nodded reassuringly. “Okay, you take good care of yourself.” She gently clasped Ginger’s hand, signaling it was time to depart. Before they left, she lowered her head and whispered to Ginger, “Say goodbye to him.” Ginger turned and waved. “Bye–bye!” Timothy settled back onto the bed, a smile lingering on his lips as he watched Ginger and Mia leave. With a bit of rest, Ginger would swiftly regain her health.
After Mia and Ginger left the ward, they swiftly made their way down the stairs. Turning to Peyton, Mia asked, “Where’s the donated bone marrow?” 1 “It’s been securely preserved. To avoid arousing suspicion, a helicopter has been arranged for departure tonight.” “Understood,” Mia affirmed.
1/3 +15 BONUS She drew in a deep breath, feeling her nerves tingle with anticipation.
It was already 5:00 pm, with just a few hours remaining before their departure.
Looking up at Mia, Ginger asked, “Mommy, are we leaving tonight?” Mia gently caressed Ginger’s head as she replied, “Yes, we’re going to bring the bone marrow back to save Sage. He’s been patiently waiting in the sterile chamber.” Although Mia sensed Ginger’s reluctance to leave Timothy, she knew they couldn’t dwell on it now. Their priority was to return quickly with his bone marrow.
As night fell, Mia quietly prepared to depart with Ginger.
As they approached the elevator to ascend to the rooftop for their helicopter ride, Mia and Ginger unexpectedly encountered Sharon.
Maintaining her composure, Mia addressed her, “Mrs. Barrett, what do you want?” “I need to have a word with you.” “Mrs. Barrett, rest assured, I won’t go back on the promise I made to you this morning.” “Hmph, that’s precisely why I’m here. To ensure you won’t backtrack, you must come with. me now and inform Tim in person that you’re ending things with him. Only then will I believe what you say,” Sharon demanded.
Mia’s brow furrowed in response. “But Timothy is still recovering. Can’t we postpone this discussion to tomorrow?” “No! This has to be resolved now. I can’t risk any surprises you might have up your sleeve later.” Mia was somewhat unnerved. If Sharon were to delay them now, who knew what unforeseen events might unfold later on?
Without further deliberation, Mia swiftly turned to Peyton and instructed, “Take Ginger downstairs for a walk. You don’t need to wait for me.” Understanding Mia’s intention, Peyton nodded and led Ginger away.
Turning to Sharon, Mia asked, “Is Timothy awake?” “If he’s still asleep, we’ll just wait for him to wake up. Given the big sacrifice Tim has made, I’m sure you can afford to be patient.” “Let’s get going then,” Mia replied.
2/3 +15 BONUS She was just trying to buy some time, hoping Peyton could smoothly depart with Ginger on the helicopter.
Following Sharon, Mia soon arrived at Timothy’s hospital room, coincidentally finding him awake.
A pang of guilt struck Mia as she saw Timothy conscious. Meeting her gaze, Timothy asked, “Where’s Ginger?”f
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 783-Mia’s heart skipped a beat as she hastily said, “She didn’t come. Sometimes, it’s not appropriate for children to be present.” Frowning, Timothy turned to Sharon. “Mom, weren’t you discharged from the hospital this morning? Why are you back here again?” “Tim, I’ve returned to see you. Take a good look at yourself. This dire situation you’re in- it’s all a consequence of your bone marrow donation. And forcing Luna out of the Barrett family over this, she didn’t deserve it, did she?” “Mom, I’ve made my decision about Luna. Either Asher stays, or she leaves with him.” “But you can’t do that. Asher must stay! He’s your son, for goodness‘ sake.” As Sharon brought up Asher, she purposely glanced at Mia before continuing, “Now it’s your turn.” It seemed as though Sharon was signaling to Mia to break up with Timothy at that moment.
Mia pursed her lips, realizing that several minutes had passed. Peyton should have left with Ginger by now.
Observing Mia’s silence, Sharon presumed she might be having doubts. She quickly added, You’re not thinking of backing out, are you?” Timothy furrowed his brows upon hearing Sharon’s remark. “Mom, what are you up to now?
Π “Oh, Tim, I’m not plotting anything this time. It’s something Ms. Monalize promised me herself.” Timothy gazed at Mia, confusion evident in his eyes.
Mia realized she couldn’t dodge the inevitable discussion.
Locking eyes with Timothy, she began, “Mr. Barrett, I’m deeply thankful for your bone marrow donation to Ginger. However, I believe relationships shouldn’t be forced. I don’t think we’re compatible, so…” 1 “So what?” Timothy interjected, his tone turning cold.
Pausing, Mia exchanged a brief glance with Sharon before continuing, “So, we should call it quits.” 1/3 As her words lingered in the air, the atmosphere in the hospital room seemed to grow noticeably colder.
Mia stole a glance at Timothy lying on the hospital bed–his demeanor growing darker, his gaze intensifying.
Just then, his voice pierced the air, cold and sharp. “You were the one who pushed for us to be together in the first place, and now you’re the one proposing we break up. Do you take me for a fool?” Sharon swiftly intervened, “Tim, please don’t be upset. Ms. Monalize revealed the truth to me this morning. She was only with you for your bone marrow. I’believe it’s best for both of you to go your separate ways.” Rubbing his temples, Timothy said, “Mom, could you excuse us for a moment? I need to have a word with her.” Mia instinctively glanced at Sharon, determined to play her role convincingly.
Without hesitation, Sharon stood up. “Tim, I’ll take charge of this matter. You two can part ways; it’s clear you weren’t right for each other anyway.
“Ms. Monalize, please leave once your conversation is over. You have no further business here.” “Alright,” Mia nodded and agreed.
After wrapping up her conversation with Timothy, Mia promptly exited the room. She was eager to leave this place as quickly as possible.
Reaching for her phone, she noticed a message from Peyton: “We’ve already taken off.” A sigh of relief escaped Mia as she read the message, finding comfort in the knowledge that they had already left the hospital.
Back in her hospital room, Mia opted to postpone her departure. She wanted to make sure the helicopter had safely left Bern City’s airspace before she ventured out herself.
If Sharon hadn’t intervened so abruptly, Mia would have already left with Ginger.
As Mia settled onto the sofa, her eyes landed on the toys Ginger had left behind. Suddenly, a wave of unease washed over her.
Two hours later, Peyton called. “Ms. Mia, we’ve left Bern City’s territory. The private helicopter is prepared for your departure whenever you’re ready.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 784-After ending the call, Mia skipped packing and decided to head straight to the rooftop for the helicopter.
However, remembering her encounter with Sharon in the elevator earlier, she chose to be cautious and took the stairs to the rooftop this time.f
Panting heavily, Mia reached the rooftop and pushed open the door.
Her smile faltered as soon as she spotted Timothy standing outside. “What are…?” Turning to face her, Timothy interjected, “You’re wondering what I’m doing here, right?” Mia leaned against the door, catching her breath. She realized she had been caught.
Fortunately, Timothy’s bone marrow sample had already been transported out of Bern City with Ginger. Thus, even if he had discovered the truth, it would have been too late.
With deliberate steps, Timothy moved closer to her. “After all the trust I placed in you, is this how you repay me? Using me and then walking away like it’s no big deal?” He had hoped not to find Mia here, but unfortunately, his hopes were crushed.
Facing Timothy, Mia remained composed. “Is this what you call trust? Aren’t about being ridiculed for saying such things?” you worried Timothy’s demeanor turned cold. “But how can you say I don’t trust you? Since my bone marrow match was confirmed, have I ever questioned you?” Mia’s gaze faltered slightly. “You’re right, you never questioned me. But your actions suggest otherwise. If you truly trusted me, you wouldn’t be here waiting. You would be resting in the hospital room.” Timothy’s anger flared at her words. “Mia, it’s been four years, and your talent for causing trouble has only grown!” Was Timothy supposed to pretend he was unaware and obediently stay in his hospital room.
to demonstrate his trust in Mia?
What kind of absurd notion was that?
Mia’s expression grew cold as she retorted, “I’ve told you, I’m not Mia!” “Do you really think I believe anything you say at this point?” 1/2 “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. I couldn’t care less!” Just then, Timothy stepped forward, seizing Mia’s wrist. “You claim you’re not Mia, right? Fine, I’ll bring Aunt Patricia over to confront you immediately! Heath, go get her!” “How dare you!” Mia shot a glare at Heath before addressing Timothy sternly, “You’re not allowed to disturb her.” “What’s the matter? Weren’t you going to keep pretending?” Lowering his head, Timothy gazed at Mia and reached out to lift her chin. “Mia, it’s been four years, and you’ve hidden your secret so well.” Suddenly, Mia’s slap landed forcefully, the sound resonating in the air as Timothy’s face turned aside.
A tense silence settled between them.
Mia’s gaze turned cold as she locked eyes with Timothy. “Timothy, let’s get one thing straight–I’m not the same Mia who tolerated your bullying in the past.” Upon hearing her admit her identity, Timothy pressed his tongue against his cheek, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Looks like you’ve grown a temper too.” Mia couldn’t stand Timothy’s expression. She tried to slap him again, but this time he caught her wrist. “Enough, don’t push it,” he whispered.
Gritting her teeth, Mia exclaimed, “Let go of me!” She wanted nothing more than to scratch this bastard’s irritating face!
“After finally catching you, there’s no way I’m letting go now. I have plenty of questions that need answers!” As Timothy glanced behind Mia, he realized that no one was there. His brows knitted in concern as he asked, “Where’s Ginger?” Despite this, Mia remained silent, her concentration fixed on freeing her hand.
Suddenly, a realization dawned on Timothy. “Mia, you wouldn’t just leave Ginger behind and go off on your own. Where is she?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 785-Mia couldn’t deny Timothy’s astuteness. She countered, “Do you really think I’d allow Ginger to accompany me?” “Mia, do you seriously not trust me? Despite knowing your true identity for a while now, I’ve still kept my promise about donating my bone marrow to Ginger.
“But what about you? Are you planning to take Ginger and run as soon as you get what you need from me?**
Timothy had never been manipulated by a woman before, but it appeared that Mia was testing his boundaries.
Mia’s lips curved into a smirk. “Mr. Barrett, since you’re already aware, could you please step aside,” she demanded.
With a swift motion, Timothy reached out and firmly grabbed her wrist. “Do you think you can simply walk away now?” “Timothy, why aren’t you letting me go? Could it be that you’ve actually developed feelings for me?” Mia retorted, her demeanor composed as she regarded him as though he were a stranger.
An eerie silence filled the air.
Timothy maintained his firm grip on her hand, a subtle warmth radiating from his palm. He appeared slightly awkward as he spoke, “Mia, don’t overthink it.” “Okay, that’s a relief. I’m glad to know it’s not because you’ve fallen in love with me.” With a forceful tug, Mia reclaimed her hand, shooting a cold glance in Timothy’s direction. Dominic is expecting me for dinner. Farewell, Mr. Barrett. Until our paths cross again!” With that, she turned on her heel and strode briskly toward the waiting helicopter, displaying no hint of sentimentality.
However, upon boarding the aircraft, Mia discovered that the pilot and bodyguard had been detained.
As she stood there, Timothy’s footsteps drew near from behind. “I’ve warned you. This time, you can’t just walk away as you please.” Nonetheless, Mia didn’t flinch. Turning to meet his gaze squarely, she countered, “Mr.
1/3 Barrett, do you still think of me as that same vulnerable woman you could just manipulate?” She continued, “Let me remind you that I am now the heiress of the esteemed Lane family in Nord City. If you dare to detain me here, rest assured, my brothers will not hesitate to come tomorrow and turn the Barrett family upside down!” “Of course, I believe you. Your brothers have done an impressive job of keeping you hidden over the years. They even managed to deceive me,” Timothy said.
“Timothy, we went through a divorce, remember? So, why are you now insisting on keeping I can’t be me here? If the thought of us being apart because you love me, just say so. It might earn you more respect from me!” Timothy felt his anger surge, his blood pressure spiking noticeably. Even after many years apart, it appeared that Mia’s talent for provoking him remained unchanged.
“What about Ginger?” Timothy demanded.
“This is between us. Why drag Ginger into it?” “But Ginger is my daughter too. Don’t I deserve to know?” Mia’s hand clenched slowly. “When did I ever claim that Ginger is your daughter?” “This matter can be resolved easily. We just need to do a DNA test using both Ginger’s blood and mine to see if she’s my biological daughter.” Mia’s demeanor hardened as she retorted, “Timothy, Ginger belongs to me. She has no ties to the Barrett family whatsoever.” “If it weren’t for my sperm, do you think you could have brought such a lovely daughter into this world by yourself?” Timothy’s audacity seemed to have no limits.
Mia scoffed, saying, “Ginger has left Bern City, flown away on the private jet I arranged. Even if you try to chase her, you wouldn’t be able to catch up.
“Fine, if I can’t catch her, then I’ll pursue you instead!” With a smirk, Mia retorted, “Oh, Mr. Barrett, it seems you still have feelings for me, don’t you?” }
Timothy pursed his lips in response. “Ginger doesn’t belong exclusively to you. As her father, it’s my responsibility to be there for her, especially when she’s unwell.” “Are you trying to contest custody with me?” With a narrowed gaze, Timothy replied, “I hadn’t intended to, but if you continue to hide with Ginger, I’ll be forced to fight for custody.” “Timothy, you speak boldly, but are you aware of who my brother is? He’s a prominent lawyer in Nord City. Do you truly believe you can snatch Ginger away from the Lane family so easily? Only in your wildest dreams.” Mia had never been concerned about custody issues before.
Timothy’s expression soured as he said, “Mia, this time, Ginger came to Nord City to find her dad. Can you really bear to let her go without a father figure in her life?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 786-Mia was sharply stung by Timothy’s remark.
She scoffed, saying, “Even your mother considers Ginger a burden. Besides, don’t you have a son named Asher? Why are you so fixated on Ginger?” “I’ve told you before, Asher isn’t my son!” “If he’s not your son, then whose child is he? Timothy, you’re truly despicable!” As Mia tried to leave, Timothy pulled her into an embrace. He lowered his head and whispered hoarsely, “It seems like this matters to you after all. Could it be that you’re jealous?” Mia was utterly furious. She forcefully stomped on Timothy’s foot and then swiftly turned, aiming a kick toward his groin. “So, you think you’re a player, huh? Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes!” Timothy let out a grunt, his muscles tensing, while beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
He glared at Mia as she backed away, gritting his teeth. “Stop right there!” Nonetheless, Mia had no intention of staying. She proceeded directly to the elevator, determined to leave the hospital.
Upon reaching the hospital’s exit, she was confronted by a red sports car parked right in front of her.
Mia narrowed her eyes, finding the sports car oddly familiar.
Suddenly, Shelly stormed out of the vehicle. “You bitch! How dare you trick me with counterfeit goods!” “Damn, you caught on quickly. I guess your brain isn’t totally useless after all,” Mia remarked sarcastically.
With Timothy’s bone marrow sample already sent away, Mia no longer needed to maintain the facade in front of Shelly. She had nothing left to fear at this point.
Shelly’s expression contorted with anger. She hadn’t expected Monalize to admit so readily.
Throughout the journey, Shelly had harbored doubts, pondering whether Monalize, too, had fallen prey to someone else’s deceit.
1/3 Enraged, Shelly hurled the replica handbag she had been holding to the ground. “We have no grievances between us, so why resort to using these counterfeit goods to deceive me? Do you not have any shame?” Mia remained composed as she responded, “We’re not exactly close, so it’s surprising that you shamelessly turn to me every time you want something.
“The total value of these luxury items amounts to millions of dollars. Since you boldly demanded them, I had to resort to such measures to minimize my losses.” “Who would have imagined that the heiress of the Barrett family would be in such dire financial straits?” At that moment, Luna emerged from the passenger seat and walked up to Shelly. “Shelly, it seems she’s been deliberately cozying up to you with an agenda from the beginning. Do you finally see her true colors?” Upon Luna’s arrival, Mia finally realized how someone as gullible as Shelly could quickly identify the high–quality counterfeits.
Shelly was boiling with rage. She had become the subject of ridicule for flaunting fake goods, and numerous people were demanding refunds. Some even threatened to take legal action against her if she failed to comply.
Glaring at Mia, Shelly exclaimed, “Don’t think for a second that this is over. I’ve already sold half of those counterfeit items you gave me, and now these people are all demanding refunds. You better cough up the money!” Mia retorted with a mocking expression, “Did I personally take the money you earned from selling those bags?” Shelly became somewhat defensive. “Why does it matter if I was the one who collected it? It’s all gone now anyway. If it weren’t for you giving me counterfeit goods, I wouldn’t be getting chased for refunds now.” “That’s your problem since you collected the money,” Mia retorted.
“If you don’t compensate me, I’ll sue you for selling counterfeit goods!” Mia smirked in response. “I gave them to you, but I didn’t tell you to sell them. If you’re not satisfied, feel free to find a lawyer and sue me whenever you like.” Enraged, Shelly snapped, “Hold on a minute! Who said you could leave? If you don’t explain yourself now, don’t even think about walking away!” Mia’s gaze turned icy as she looked at the two bodyguards standing before her. She gazed at Shelly and asked, “Are you serious?” Without hesitation, she raised her hand, summoning a group of bodyguards to surround them.
The imposing bodyguards encircled Shelly and Luna.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 787-Mia stayed rooted on the spot calmly, her gaze focused on Shelly who seemed to have shrunken from cowardice.
Mia asked, “What did you say? I didn’t catch you clearly. Mind saying it once more?” Shelly’s face drained of color as she stuttered, “I–I’m Shelly Barrett! If you hurt me, my family will never let you get away with it!” Mia snorted. “Very well. I shall make your wish come true. I’ll strip you guys off and wait for your family to come at me.” Following that, the bodyguards trapped Shelly and Luna in a circle.
Shelly screamed, “What do you think you’re doing! I’m Shelly Barrett! Tim will never let you go if you do this!” Luck wasn’t on Shelly and Luna’s side. They just had to confront Mia when she happened to be in a bad mood.
Mia decided to let off some steam by playing with them.
Coldness shrouded Mia’s eyes. “How about this? You both discuss who’ll stay and who’ll leave.” Luna huffed, “Ms. Monalize, you’re trying to drive a wedge between Shelly and I. Just how low can you stoop?” “It is embarrassing, but it works, doesn’t it? That’s all that matters. You have ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight…” Mia began the countdown.
Shelly was drenched in cold sweat as she looked at Luna. “I’m still young. I’ll be marrying someone in the future. I’ll go, y–you’ll stay. Tim will surely treat you well if he knows you saved me.” Luna retorted, “Are you out of your mind, Shelly Barrett? This woman doesn’t have the guts to commit such a thing in broad daylight. Don’t be a scaredy cat because of what she said, jeez!” “Since you’re this brave, you can stay. I’m out of here!” Shelly shoved Luna and ran away without looking back. Even her heels were abandoned.
Mia chuckled and mocked Luna, “Look at the useless trash you tried so hard to butter up. Did 1/2 you do that to have a taste of how fast people can turn against you?” “Don’t get ahead of yourself! The Barretts know your true colors now. You don’t stand a chance at all,” Luna retorted.
Mia arched a brow. “Well, do I care? Only foolish women would bet everything they had on a man.” “You don’t know everything. You wouldn’t know what you would have done if you were poor. “Luna’s gaze darted to Mia’s bodyguards and the luxury brands Mia was wearing.
Jealousy consumed Luna. Luna believed that Mia wouldn’t have been able to act this high and mighty if she had been born poor.
“You’ve finally acted like yourself. Do you admit you love money now?” Mia asked.
“Money’s the reason why everything goes your way. If you were poor, it would’ve been otherwise,” Luna said.
Mia wasn’t taken aback by Luna’s remark. “Even if I was poor, I would at least uphold my morals. Unlike you.” “Stop pretending! No one knows where you got that money from. You better get the hell out of Bern City with your sickly daughter! And never come back! There’s no place in the Barrett family for the both of you!” Right after those words were uttered by Luna, Mia delivered a slap across Luna’s face.
Covering her stinging cheek, Luna shrieked, “How dare you!” “Have you forgotten about those sharks on Xavier Island?” Mia grabbed Luna’s hair. “I warned you. Do not anger me. You’ve crossed the line by mentioning my daughter. Let’s call it a day with a slap today. Next time, it won’t be this simple anymore.” Mia released her and left. It would only be a waste of time staying here.
Luna stood over there in a haggard state, her tongue licking her bloody lips.
She vowed in silent, “You cherish your daughter so much, huh? You’re going to regret this! I’ll make you beg for mercy on your knees!” — As soon as Mia returned to her place, she called Nicholas. “The plane will land in Nord City tomorrow morning. After that, I’ll leave matters here to you.” “What about you? What if Timothy finds out about this?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 788-“It’s alright. Timothy found out about it anyway. This is the Barretts‘ territory after all. Keeping a secret from him isn’t easy. Thankfully, the bone marrow along with Ginger have been safely delivered to Nord City.” “Did he make things difficult for you?” Nicholas asked, feeling concerned about Mia’s wellbeing.
Mia suddenly thought of the argument that happened on the rooftop of the hospital.
Nonetheless, she recounted calmly, “Nothing I couldn’t settle. I’m Mia Lane. Can he do anything to me?” “Take a private flight back then,” Nicholas suggested.
“Yeah, I’m thinking the same thing, but I want to go see Aunt Patricia before I leave. It’s already late now, so I’m going to meet her tomorrow morning.
“Maybe have breakfast with her before heading back. Timothy already found out about it anyway. Returning early won’t make any difference.” The next time she would come to Bern City would be a few months later, so she didn’t want to miss the chance to meet Patricia.
She really hoped to have a meal with Patricia before leaving Bern City.
It had been four years since Mia last met Patricia after all.
Nicholas went silent for a moment. “Okay. Just be careful. If the Barretts threaten you, call us right away.” “Got it. Please look after Sage for me.” “Don’t me.” worry. He’s not only your precious son. I watched him grow up too. He’s like a son to They engaged in small talk before terminating the call.
Timothy had found out that Mia had sent the donated bone marrow and Ginger back to Nord City, including the fact that she had been lying to him the past few days.
However, she wasn’t afraid at all.
Compared to how the Barretts treated her in the past, what she did to him was nothing.
1/2 Mia massaged her temples. Recently, there had been unfamiliar images crossing her mind.
They seemed to be related to the Barrett family.
It seemed like she would regain her memories soon.
The next morning, Mia bought a lot of stuff before visiting Patricia.
Mia was going to leave after lunch, so she wanted to cherish the time she had with Patricia.
Mia’s visit was a pleasant surprise to Patricia. “Mia, why did you buy so many things? You could’ve just come empty–handed.” “How could I do that when I wasn’t by your side for years? These are good for your health.” “Mia, your brothers actually asked someone to buy me supplements and good food every year. I’m as fit as a fiddle! I took a body checkup not long ago. And the doctor told me to refrain from eating too much and exercise regularly,” Patricia said light–heartedly.
They sat on the couch. Mia gave it a thought before revealing, “Aunt Patricia, I’m going to return to Nord City today. I’ll see you again some other time.” Disappointment colored Patricia’s eyes, but she cheered herself up the next second. “It’s alright. Tell me earlier before you come next time so that I can make your favorite food for you.” Mia held Patricia’s hand. This was the woman who showed Mia what the affection and love of a family felt like.
Once Sage recovered, she would visit Patricia with her children. Settling Patricia down in Nord City wasn’t a bad idea either.
Midway through lunch, Mia received a call from Nicholas.
She headed to the garden outside and asked, “Has Ginger arrived safely?” Yes, but I have bad news.” “Fire away.” “The container should contain the bone marrow, but it’s empty.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 789-How could the container be empty?
Color drained from Mia’s face. Her voice trembled. “How could this be?” Her heart sank to the pit of her stomach the moment she heard that.
“I will never make jokes about something this important, Mia. I checked thoroughly several times and even checked the delivery process with Peyton. Everything was done as planned. Seems like there was a problem before the container was dispatched from the hospital.” There was a problem before the container was dispatched from the hospital?
In other words, someone did something to the bone marrow before that!
Taking deep breaths, Mia attempted to calm herself down. There was no room for mistakes right now.
Her hand ruffled through her hair. “There shouldn’t be any problem with the hospital. We already made the arrangements.” She thought everything was going according to plan. When the bone marrow was delivered to Nicholas, Sage could undergo the treatment.
However, the container arriving at Nord City empty was not what she had expected!
Just who dared to lay a finger on the bone marrow that could save Sage?
“Mia, I called the person in charge from the hospital. He confirmed that the bone marrow was placed in the container. He doesn’t know why we received an empty one. Something must’ve gone wrong throughout the process. You have to go to the hospital in person to check it yourself.” “Got it. I’ll go to the hospital to get to the bottom of it,” Mia said with determination.
“Mia, just a reminder–Sage is in the vacuum chamber. You have to get Timothy’s bone marrow as soon as possible. Otherwise, you know what will happen to Sage, don’t you?” Nicholas reminded Mia of the dire circumstances surrounding them.
She frowned. “I know. Don’t worry. I’ll get it back at all costs.” She wouldn’t forgive whoever had stolen the bone marrow!
The call ended, and her hands were shaking.
1/2 She managed her expression before returning to the living room. “Sorry, I don’t think I can keep you company for lunch. Something came up and I have to go now.” “What’s wrong, Mia? You look awful. Did something happen?” Patricia could see through her right away.
“It’s a long story. I gotta go now. I’ll explain everything to you one day,” Mia said hurriedly.
“Okay. Hurry on. Be safe.” Patricia didn’t pry further, but she was still worried.
It took everything in Mia to hold herself together. Leaving Patricia’s place was the first thing she had to do right now.
Once she got into the car, the air around her shifted.
She massaged her head, recalling the entirety of the situation. Nicholas was right.
Something had happened in that hospital.
Only one person could do something in the hospital–Timothy.
Who would’ve known he would get in her way at such a critical moment?
It was no wonder he said nothing after stopping her at the rooftop of the hospital yesterday.
He was waiting for today–the day she realized that the container was empty!
That bastard!
Mia rushed to the hospital only to be informed that Timothy had been discharged this morning.
She looked for the doctor in charge of the bone marrow. They cross–checked the procedures but found nothing that could be the problem.
Quickly, she asked someone to retrieve the surveillance footage in the hospital.
Then, she drove away from the hospital.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 790-Mia took her phone out to call Timothy immediately. The line got through right away and his voice sounded, “I didn’t expect you to call me again. I thought you returned to Nord City.” She rolled her eyes at his acting. Still, she asked patiently, “I heard that you’re discharged from the hospital. Where are you?” “At work. Need something from me?” She gritted her teeth. “Yes, I need something from you.” She hung up the call and instructed the driver, “To Barrett Group.” Now, she had to go to Barrett Group to interrogate that man in person, to ask him why he retrieved the bone marrow. He clearly knew that that was the key to saving her child! She held her phone tightly. The sheer thought of Sage waiting in the vacuum chamber broke her heart. If they lost the bone marrow, Sage’s life would be in danger! She would never let him die in the vacuum chamber! Never! The car reached Barrett Group at full pelt. She alighted from the car and slammed the door shut. Then, she walked into the building hurriedly. However, a security guard stopped her. “Miss, only Barrett Group’s staff is allowed to enter. Mia shot him a cold look. “I’m here to see Timothy Barrett.” TI Then, she walked inside the building. The security guard wanted to stop her again, but her bodyguards pulled him to the side. Mia managed to get in without hurdles. 1 The receptionist noticed something wrong and sprang from her seat. “Miss, who are you looking for?” “Timothy Barrett.” 1/2 “Do you have an appointment with Mr. Barrett?” “No, but I must see him today!” Mia didn’t want to waste time explaining herself to the receptionist. Turning around, she went for the elevator right away. Every second was precious. She couldn’t afford to waste a single second. Alarmed, the receptionist called for security guards, and soon, more than ten security guards confronted her team of bodyguards. The air around them tensed. At that moment, Luna showed up with a smug smile. “Ms. Monalize, I didn’t expect to see you in Barrett Group again. What business do you have here?” “I want to see Timothy.” Mia glared at her. “How could you disturb him at work? What do you need to see him for? Tim’s been discharged only this morning, and he came to work for a meeting. He didn’t even take a break. He recently put off much work because of you. “You don’t have the right to know. This is between him and me,” Mia snapped back. Luna shifted her gaze to the receptionist. “As you know, Tim hates this kind of thing the most. You know what to do, don’t you? Stop that lady.” “Yes, Ms. Maynard.” The receptionist listened to Luna and instructed the security guards to stop Mia and her bodyguards. A glint of fury flickered in Mia’s eyes as the situation took a turn for the worse. Her patience had reached its limit. זיי Her anger flared up. guess you didn’t learn your lesson hard enough yesterday.”
