Chapter 918
Sage set aside the paper he had been holding. "You were quick to actjust now. It's a good thing I was here with you."
When Ginger received the call on her Apple Watch earlier, Sagehappened to be nearby. Upon hearing Caleb's words, he immediatelysensed it was a ruse.
Fortunately, Sage discreetly stepped in to prevent Ginger fromrevealing too much, even going as far as jotting down a response forher on paper.
Given the ambiguity of the conversation, Caleb likely wouldn't takeGinger's words seriously.
Resting her chin on her hand, Ginger pondered, "Why doesn't Mommylet Daddy know about you? If he knew you were unwell, he'd surelyshower you with gifts.”
"Hmph, I'm not interested in his presents," Sage replied with a seriousexpression.
After all, Sage wasn't as gullible as Ginger. He was well aware of howTimothy had abandoned Mia.
Had it not been for Mia's brothers finding her in time, she would havefaced considerable hardship.
These were not matters that Timothy could simply dismiss with a fewcasual words and some inexpensive gifts.
"Sage, Daddy really isn't that awful. He buys me so many gifts andoften texts me to ask if anyone is bothering me."
"Don't be fooled by him. Mommy hasn't forgiven him yet. You're just alittle traitor!" Sage exclaimed.
At the mention of "little traitor,” Ginger immediately grew anxious. "I'mnot a little traitor! I will always support Mommy!"
"But you were just praising that man a moment ago! You're being a littletraitor!"novelbin
Furious, tears welled up in Ginger's eyes; she certainly didn't considerherself a betrayer.
Just then, Mia pushed open the door and entered the ward. "What'sgoing on? Are you two arguing?"
Ginger rose to her feet, huffing indignantly. "You're so dumb, Sage. Idon't want to talk to you anymore."
With that, she stormed out of the ward without looking back.
Mia couldn't help but glance at Sage. "What happened?"
"She's just a bit petty, getting worked up over a few words."
"But she's your younger sister; you should be kinder to her."
Sage replied arrogantly, “I'm doing her a favor by telling her the truth.You all spoil her too much. She might end up being taken advantage ofin the future.”
Seeing Sage behave like a little adult, Mia couldn't help but feelexasperated. "Stop acting so grown-up. You're only four years old,you're not a forty or fifty-year-old man."
As Mia spoke, she affectionately tousled Sage's hair.
Sage's expression shifted uneasily as he asked, "Mommy, now that I'mfeeling better, when will you send that man away from Nord City?"Mia paused briefly before replying, "He'll be leaving soon. Why do youask?"
“It's nothing. Since I've recovered from my illness, I don't need thatman's assistance anymore. It's pointless for him to stay around."
"I understand. You don't need to concern yourself with him."
Mia's main focus at the moment was Sage's well-being.
Thus, following their ruse with Timothy at the hospital today, Miapromptly brought Ginger to visit Sage.
While Sage's recovery was progressing positively, he hadn't completelyregained his health.
Mia had initially believed that with a timely bone marrow transplant,Sage would fully recover and lead a normal life like any other kid.However, reality didn't always align with expectations.
Despite this, Sage's health had shown remarkable improvement. Hewas now able to attend kindergarten, albeit with some precautions dueto his medical condition.
For Mia, seeing Sage well was a relief in itself.
She couldn't help but sneak a glance at Sage, noticing his uncannyresemblance to Timothy.
Mia's gaze grew complex as she asked, "Sage, would you like to meethim?"
The "him" she referred to was Timothy.
