Chapter 697 Mia's expression betrayed a hint of surprise. She struggled to believe that Timothy had sent these gifts.
On the other hand, Ginger's eyes lit up when she saw the presents. Taking small steps, she hurried toward the gift boxes, her small stature looking even tinier beside the large stuffed toy.
Mia's gaze lingered on the gifts, her face reflecting a mix of emotions. What was Timothy's motive behind this gesture? Initially, Ginger was delighted as she held the gifts, but upon glancing at Mia, a hint of hesitation flickered across her expression.
Reluctantly, she placed the gifts back.
Mia watched as Ginger gently patted her chubby hands. Keeping a composed demeanor, Ginger asked, "Mommy, do you like these gifts?" Upon hearing Ginger's question, Mia couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. She had noticed the joy in Ginger's eyes, and her subconscious reaction couldn't be hidden from anyone.

Mia softly patted Ginger's head and replied, "Yes. Go ahead and accept it." "Why are you taking gifts from the bad guy, Mommy?" "Because he agreed to be my boyfriend last night. However, he doesn't know who we really are yet, so we'll continue with our original plan.
"We only have a week. If Uncle Dominic discoversthat I'm in Bern City, he'll come after US right away. You know how Uncle Dominic is; he never goes back on his word." Ginger nodded earnestly. "Okay, Mommy. What's our next step?" "After this, I'll get in touch with him while you stay home and pretend to be sick.
"When you come out, wait for the perfect moment to faint, and I'll use that as an opportunity to discuss the bone marrow matching," Mia explained, feeling a bit uneasy.
She had concerns about whether she could discreetly obtain Timothy's bone marrow without revealing Sage's existence.
After Ginger and Mia finished breakfast, Mia scrolled through her social media feed and noticed photos posted by Shelly, likely taken at a party.
In the pictures, Shelly was deliberately flaunting the designer bag and shoes that Mia had gifted her.
It seemed that Shelly was quite pleased with the gifts from Mia.
Mia liked Shelly's post and commented: "I'm planning to visit the hospital later. Would you like to come along?" With just a week remaining, Mia's goal was not only to secure Timothy's bone marrow but also to impart a lesson to those in the Barrett family who had mistreated her in the past.
Turning to Ginger, Mia said, "Mommy needs to go out now. Stay home and be good. Call me if you need anything." Ginger nodded obediently. She didn't feel bored at all, knowing that she could video chat with Sage later and have some playtime with Rachel.
Seeing how well-behaved and understanding Ginger was, Mia couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.
As Mia made her way up the stairs to change, her gaze swept over the collection of branded clothes in the closet.

Ginger lay by the bedroom window, watching Mia depart. Left alone in the room, she quickly opened the laptop and logged into a software program.
Before long, Sage appeared on the screen, his expression serious as he asked, "Why is your IP address showing that you're in Bern City?" Ginger stuttered, "Um, it's because... Mommy is in Bern City." She struggled with dishonesty, and now she felt increasingly flustered.

Beside Sage, a blonde girl appeared, her skin pale and appearing somewhat unwell, She utterd weakly.Iknow ,because your mommy went to see your daddy to trick him into donating his bone marrow."
