Chapter 765 Mia's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected Timothy to suggest leaving Ginger in Bern City for treatment.
It caught Mia completely off guard.
Recalling the photo Timothy had just shown her, it becapparent that Timothy must have had suspicions about her identity, prompting him to suggest leaving Ginger in Bern City for treatment.
It was clear that he didn’t buy her explanation earlier.
However, Mia realized it wasn’t the right tto confront Timothy, especially considering the risk of him refusing to donate bone marrow if things got heated.
She didn’t want to escalate the situation any further.

After a moment of contemplation, Mia simply nodded and replied, “Okay.” Observing Mia’s swift agreement, Timothy narrowed his eyes slightly. He had assumed that proposing such a condition would provoke a reaction from her.
However, to his surprise, she agreed without hesitation.
What kind of schwas she plotting? Both Mia and Timothy kept their thoughts to themselves. Mia continued enjoying her ice cream before breaking the silence.
“By the way, Mr. Barrett, Shelly toldthat Luna seems to be seriously injured. Did she break her foot or something?” Sitting opposite Mia, Timothy's gaze was penetrating. “You've grown quite close to Shelly, haven't you?” In the past, these two had constantly been at odds! Mia responded with a meaningful smile. “Well, Shelly is going to be my future sister-in-law, so it’s important to maintain a good relationship, wouldn't you agree? “But, Mr. Barrett, let's not change the subject. Since we're being candid today, there's a question I've been curious about for stime.” “Go ahead.” “What exactly is your relationship with Luna, and is Asher your son?” Timothy paused, placing his utensils on the table. “Are you feeling jealous?” Seeing Timothy's irritated expression, Mia forced a smile. “Of course, I'm feeling jealous. Mr. Barrett, | heard Luna played a role in your divorce from your ex-wife. | don’t want to go through that again!” Timothy's lips tightened. “The past is complicated, but my relationship with Luna isn’t what you're assuming.
And as for Asher, he’s not my son.
“If Asher isn’t yours, why has Luna been able to stay in the Barrett family all this time, with Mrs. Barrett treating Asher like her grandson? There must be a reason behind it, right?” Mia had previously questioned Shelly about Asher’s identity, but Shelly wasn’t entirely certain either.
With a solemn expression, Mia awaited Timothy's response.
Timothy's deep voice broke the silence. “I cannot disclose Asher’s identity, but he is definitely not my illegitimate son.” While this statement didn’t directly address Mia's question, she decided not to press the matter further. If Timothy wasn’t willing to talk, there was no point in pushing him.
Continuing to press the issue might make her seem overly jealous, and Mia knew she wasn’t that petty.
However, Mia couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right, especially considering the tattoo on Luna's ankle. Yet, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
Nonetheless, Mia eagerly looked forward to visiting Ryan again once she returned to Nord City.
Perhaps recovering her memories would shed light on the truth of what happened in the past.

Shortly after, Mia received a WhatsApp message from Peyton. “The Baers Grawp wants to collaborate with Aide Castle. Should we decline?” Upon reading the message, Mia arched her eyebrows in surprise. This development was certainly unexpected.
After a moment of consideration, she replied, “Hold off on rejecting them. Sendthe proposal so | can review it first.”
Given the Barrett family’s esteemed position as the top aristocratic lineage in Nord City , collaborating with them could undoubtedly help Aide Castle establish a foothold in the city. Therefore, hastily dismissing such an opportunity would be unwise.
Meanwhile, Timothy quickly finished his lunch and informed Mia. I'll drop you off at the hospital first. Once my afternoon meeting wraps up, I'll cover.
