Upon saying this, Timothy was momentarily taken aback. His words had slipped out and sounded more as an unconscious suspicion than a deliberate statement.
Despite this, Timothy had indeed entertained suspicions that Mia was keeping something from him.
He had several other theories in his mind, and the one he vocalized was just one among them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon careful consideration, Timothy realized that this speculation might be the most accurate. If Mia had nothing to hide, why would she be so insistent on his departure from Nord City? Surely, she was concerned that he might uncover whatever secret she was concealing.
Considering Nord City belonged to the Lane family, Mia's anxiety about his presence there seemed unwarranted.
Indeed, something felt amiss about the entire situation.
Caleb was caught off guard by Timothy's statement. "Tim, why do you think it's not Ginger who's sick? Do you have any basis for that speculation?" "If I had solid evidence to support my suspicion, I would have already investigated and resolved the matter. Right now, I don't have any proof to back up my theory. It's just that Mia's behavior in this situation strikesas odd," Timothy explained.
"Tim, are you perhaps overanalyzing this? I highly doubt Mia would joke about something as serious as Ginger's health. Besides, I don't see any reason for her to deceive you.
"Even if she did, there must be a deeper motive behind it, don't you think? Could it be possible that she's after the bone marrow you donated?" After all, human bone marrow was considered a rarity, not readily accessible to everyone.
Timothy remained silent. In reality, he hadn't fully grasped the situation either; it was mere speculation on his part.
"But Tim, it's hard to believe Mia would fabricate such a massive lie just to obtain your bone marrow. Remember the incident with Mrs. Barrett swapping the bone marrow? Mia was furious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe even restrained Mrs. Barrett and Luna. You saw it all happen, lidn't you? If Mia wasn't motivated SGinger's health, why would she g o such extremes?" Caleb suggested. >w"I understand. Honestly, it's just speculation on my part." "Tim, I get that it's only a theory. But if Mia isn't doing this for her daughter, then who else could it be for? Her family? But that doesn't make sense either.
"With so many siblings in the Lane family, the probability of finding a bone marrows mateh among them is higher. It wouldn't be logical for Mia to turn to someone like you, who isn't directly related." Caleb couldn't help but feel puzzled by Timothy's speculation.
Timothy's expression softened slightly as he nodded. "You're right. If someone in the Lane family was ill, they could easily find a bone marrow match among themselves. There'd be no need to involve me. It seems my initial guess was likely incorrect." Now, Mia seemed like a bird soaring in the sky, visible from a distance, yet her thoughts remained obscure.
"Tim, where would you like to go now? I've heard you've been under a lot of stress in Nord City lately. How about I take you shopping or treat you to a meal to unwind?" "I'm here willingly. If it becomes too overwhelming, I can always return to Bern City," Timothy refused flatly.
"So, despite enduring so much, you still haven't managed to win her back." "You're not making this any easier. Please, shut up." Timothy picked up on the playful tone in Caleb's words and responded casually, "Let's just head to the branch office." Now, Timothy had to address the issue with the Bowens. He certainly hadn't anticipated Ralph being the mastermind behind this collaboration.
Before long, the car pulled up outside the Barrett Group's branch office.
