Panic surged within Luna like a tidal wave, as she wasn't sure if the nurse had disposed of the bone marrow.
If the nurse had thrown it away, Mia might really hurt Asher! Left with no choice, Luna pleaded with Timothy, "Tim, you promised to protect Asher for life! You can't take that back now!" "If | can't protect my own daughter, why must | protect someone else's son?" Timothy said calmly.
His firm stance broke the last straw in her. She turned to Sharon. "Mrs. Barrett, you like Asher so much!" Sharon was confused. "What do you mean by that, Tim? Asher's not your son?" Luna interrupted her, "Asher's your grandson! Tim promised to treat Asher like his own son! Does it really matter if he's really his biological son?" Sharon was shell-shocked. Asher wasn't Timothy's son after all! "I've never admitted that he's my son," Timothy responded coldly.
That was quite a surprise to Mia. Sharon thought that Asher was Timothy's son this whole time.
In fact, Mia had assumed the same before.
Timothy and Luna were the only ones who knew, and they kept the others in the dark.

Regardless, Mia wasn't in the mood to watch those ladies lock horns.
"Keep an eye on Luna. Don't let her escape,” Mia ordered her bodyguards before leaving the house.
She had to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Timothy followed after her. Finding the bone marrow was of utmost priority now.
The moment Mia seated herself in the car, Timothy squeezed himself into the car too.
The car became cramped.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Don't you have a car?" Her tone was unfriendly because Timothy was the cause of this entire problem.
"It's more convenient to go together." He pretended not to notice her bad mood.
Mia knew it was a mere excuse. It wouldn't make any difference to travel in different cars.
Treating the person next to her as invisible, she didn't utter a word throughout the journey.
Awhile later, Timothy sneaked a peek at her. In the end, he blurted, "I overlooked things. I'm sorry." "Apology rejected. You know what cops are for," Mia snapped.
"How would you like to settle this?"
"| don't care about anything else. | just want to get to the bone marrow as soon as possible. If it's destroyed, I hope you won't get in my way, Mr.

Barrett, or you might get hurt."
He went silent for a moment. "You can do anything to Luna, but that boy is innocent. He doesn't know what his mother has been up to." He was trying to protect the child.
She smirked. "She did all this for him, no? Although | hate him, | don't really want to kill him. He should blame his fate for having such a mother. | don't care about him. He's not my son anyway."
Her son was still waiting in the vacuum chamber, waiting for her to bring back the bone marrow.
Silence, again.
Then, Timothy spoke up, "I'm not Asher's father. Actually—"
"You don't have to tell me this. | don't want to hear any of this right now, she cut him off. Who his father is has nothing to do with me. Your son or not, | don't care."
