Timothy stiffened his lips. He took out his phone and called Mia.
Meanwhile, Mia had just entered the research institute. Glancing at the caller ID, she was surprised to see that it was Timothy calling.novelbin
Still, she couldn't fathom why he called her. Things didn't end well between them at the banquet earlier after all.
Mia tossed her phone into her bag. She didn't intend to answer any calls. Peyton knew not to disturb her with any work-related matters whenever she bonded with her children unless they were urgent.
She changed into sterile clothing before she entered Sage's ward. He was busying himself in front of the computer. A series of codes appeared on the monitor, and he looked solemn.
"Handle the left wing, and let them come through in the middle. I'll deal with them."
The codes on the screen shifted promptly, indicating Sage's victory.
Having learned about coding from Nathan, Mia could also decipher the codes on Sage's screen. She clapped, exclaiming, "Good work!"
Sage muted his microphone once he heard her. Feigning sobriety, he said, "Mommy, why didn't you knock before you came in? I have my own privacy too."
Noting the prudence in his tone, Mia pinched his cheeks. "Since you seemed super engrossed earlier, I didn't want to affect your performance by knocking. What if you lost and embarrass yourself in front of your friends?"
Sage's eyes glinted as he dangled his legs. "That man hasn't left yet, right?"

Sage began solemnly, "Mommy, do you need me to teach him a lesson? He pestered you, right?"
Crouching down in front of Sage, Mia said, "This is an adult matter. I can handle it, so you don't have to get involved."
Sage lowered his head and remained silent. Mia could tell he felt awkward.
Patiently, she asked, "Sage, you seem to hate Timothy. Can you tell me why?"
"I don't. I just don't like it when I have no choice but to accept the bone marrow he donated."
Sage had always deemed himself as

Sensing Sage's uneasiness, Mia understood his thoughts. She stroked his head and said, "Sage, you don't have to feel uneasy about the bone marrow donation. It's only natural for him to do so as your father."
"W-What if he blackmails you with this?"
Sage still seemed perturbed nonetheless.
