Chapter 763
Upon hearing Timothy's question, Mia responded cautiously, "Well, I plan to bring Ginger back to Nord City once you're admitted to the hospital."
Tomorrow, then?"
"Yes, because Ginger also needs to prepare for the bone marrow donation process in the vacuum chamber."
As Mia spoke, she couldn't help but notice Timothy's intense gaze fixed on her.
Taking a deep breath, she continued, "Mr. Barrett, you're well aware that once Ginger enters the vacuum chamber, her fate hinges on your bone marrow donation. Without it, she faces a grim outcome."
"Since you're so skeptical, why not have Ginger undergo her treatment in Bern City? The hospital there also has a vacuum chamber.
"This way, we can proceed with the treatment in person, and you won't have to worry about me backing out halfway."
"No, that's not an option," Mia firmly declined.
After all, Ginger couldn't stay in Bern City; it would risk exposing their secret.
Timothy's gaze intensified. "Why not?"
"Because, well, as I've mentioned before, treating Ginger in Nord City would be more conducive to her recovery, considering it's her home."
Timothy couldn't help but feel skeptical at her response. "But Ginger is originally from Bern City."
"Ginger grew up in Nord City, so she's considered a resident there," Mia clarified. "My previous remark was merely a casual observation, Mr. Barrett. I didn't mean to raise doubts about your intentions."
Mia smiled faintly as she poured water into Timothy's cup. "Please don't take it, the wrong way, Mr. Barrett."
Observing Mia's evasive behavior, Timothy couldn't shake the feeling that she

had been speaking in circles, hardly uttering a truthful word.
Yet, when it came to Ginger, she suddenly adopted a surprisingly humble stance.
Their conversation was interrupted as the waiter arrived with their dishes.
Before Mia, a peculiar-looking ice cream was placed on the table.
With a spoon in hand, she commented, "This must be the restaurant's signature dessert. It's quite famous. Let me try it to see how it compares to the one in Nord City."
Taking a few bites, she suddenly discovered a large diamond ring nestled inside the ice cream.
She was taken aback. "There's even a diamond ring. Did the restaurant mistakenly bring someone else's engagement dessert here?"
Mia retrieved the diamond ring and placed it on a napkin. "Let me summon the waiter over."
Seated across from her, Timothy's voice resonated deeply as he spoke, "That wouldn't be necessary."
"Why not? It's clearly an engagement ring. I didn't anticipate this restaurant making such a straightforward mistake..."
As Mia's words trailed off, she glanced at Timothy with a delayed realization. Could it possibly be from you?" she pondered aloud.
After all, a restaurant of this reputation shouldn't make such basic errors.
That left only one possibility.
Setting down his cutlery, Timothy regarded her seriously. "Yes, I was the one who bought it."
"Mr. Barrett, why would you suddenly give me a diamond ring? Are you proposing?"

She felt something was off but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Initially, Mia had used the reishi mushroom as a pretext to deliberately ask to be
Timothy's girlfriend.
However, there wasn't much contact between them afterward, let alone any
progress in their relationship.
Nevertheless, Timothy's demeanor toward her changed suddenly.
