Chapter 832 Mia entered the hospital room and confronted Timothy directly, questioning, "What exactly do you want to discuss with me? I even offered to buy you a plane ticket to leave, yet you're choosing to stay.
"Are you intentionally looking for trouble? If Dominic finds out you're here, you'll end up with more than just a hand injury!" Truthfully, Mia couldn't comprehend Timothy's intentions.
Timothy leaned against the headboard, appearing notably more spirited than the previous day.
He spoke calmly, "I came here specifically to accompany Ginger

"Given your current inability to cover your own medical expenses, it's rather audacious of you to remain in Nord City. Wouldn't it be wiser to go home temporarily and return with more support?" Timothy's eyebrows lifted slightly. "If I were to depart now, returning next time wouldn't be as simple." "I'm sure you're intelligent enough to understand that staying alone in Nord City would only pose more danger."
"For the sake of my daughter, I'm willing to take that risk." Mia felt instantly incensed. Why was Timothy being so stubborn? She nodded curtly and replied, "Fine, have it your way. Since this is your decision, I have nothing more to say." As Mia turned to leave, Timothy's voice stopped her in her tracks. "Are you just going to abandon me like this?" What in the world? Mia couldn't believe what she was hearing. Timothy's words sounded completely absurd. It didn't make sense.
With an incredulous expression, Mia turned back to face Timothy. "What do
you mean by ‘abandon you'? I clearly offered to buy you a plane ticket and personally send you away, but you chose not to leave. How is that my fault?" "Since this is your territory, you bear the responsibility of ensuring my safety." Mia was utterly taken aback, struggling to find a response.
She rested her hand on her forehead, gazing at Timothy. "Since when did you become so audacious? Why should I be accountable for your protection?" "Because I'm your ex-husband and Ginger's father. If anything happens to me in Nord City, I'll expose your neglect to the media!" |
""Are you serious? Do you actually believe the media will take your claims seriously? This is Nord City, not Bern — City," Mia retorted incredulously.
However, Timothy remained composed as he gazed at her, leaving Mia feeling somewhat uncertain.
Suddenly, Timothy spoke up, "I've heard about your entertainment company's upcoming movie release, with a positive theme no less.
"If any negative publicity were to surface about you as the CEO, it could potentially impact the box office, don't you think?" Mia's demeanor shifted abruptly, her expression becoming more serious. "I didn't expect you to be so well- informed despite your limited connections."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough she maintained a composed exterior, Mia couldn't shake the feeling of unease brewing within her.
Considering Timothy's current struggle to cover his medical expenses, Mia wondered how he managed to gather such information.
Timothy raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Thanks to your reputation here in Nord City, I can keep up with your updates simply by skimming through the entertainment section on the cafeteria TV." In that instant, Mia finally grasped how Timothy had come by this information about her.
With a smirk, she replied, "Even if you're aware, what difference does it make? From now on, I'll ensure you remain confined to this hospital room.
