Chapter 977
When Mia heard Timothy asking about Sage's identity, her heart skipped a beat. She wondered if he still harbored suspicions about her.
So, she lowered her gaze and asked, "Who do you think that boy could be?"
"Mia, I'm asking you. Don't deflect the question."
Confronted with his probing stare, she remained calm and explained, "That boy is receiving treatment at the research institute."
"Receiving treatment?"
Mia replied, "Yes, he's receiving treatment there. Nick founded the research institute. He's conducted extensive research there, including treatments for various conditions.
"Many parents bring their children there for treatment. The facility is staffed with doctors and nurses who monitor the children's health closely." "But I can't shake the feeling that the boy's connection to Nicholas goes beyond doctor and patient," Timothy remarked.
Upon hearing that, Mia gritted her teeth. She realized Timothy's keen eye for detail was uncanny. He could discern discrepancies in an instant. She countered, "That's because Nicholas spends a lot of time with these children. So, his relationships with everyone are pretty good." "Mia, you're not being truthful."
Mia retorted, "How could you accuse me of lying? I'm telling the truth. If you doubt me, feel free to investigate. There are more than a few children at the institute undergoing similar treatment as that boy."
Mia spoke with confidence. She knew she wasn't deceiving him. Such circumstances were indeed present at the research institute.novelbin
Nicholas had initially founded the research institute for Rachel, who had a rare disease.
Back then, the doctors had given up hope for her survival. But Nicholas refused to accept her fate and established the institute.
Various treatments were attempted,

and eventually, his sister survived. However, her health remained fragile. So, she was confined in the institute since she relied on a monitoring device. Yet, Nicholas achieved a miracle against all odds.
When Sage was born, Mia sent him to the research institute. She hoped Nicholas could perform the same miracle on Sage. Surprisingly, her son's health had improved significantly.
"Mia, are you finally going to come clean? You've been keeping secrets from me, and I've already figured it out."
She eyed Timothy suspiciously and wondered if he was aware of Sage's true identity.
If he knew she reasoned that
Timothy wouldn't be acting that way. So, what exactly did he know? Or perhaps he was deliberately trying to deceive her into revealing the truth?
Mia raised her head defiantly. "What exactly have I been hiding from you? Why don't you tell me?"
Timothy fixed his gaze on her. "Mia, the child you asked me to donate bone marrow to wasn't Ginger, right?"
"Answer me, Mia. It wasn't Ginger who was sick, was it?" He looked at her and knew that something was off.
Timothy held her chin. "I have proof. You can't lie to me now. I just need to know if Ginger was really sick. She's my biological daughter, and I deserve to know the truth."
