He might not have been very direct, but he can't hide the way he feels about you." "Are you kidding, Eva? I've never thought that Nick would fall for me. I was completely caught off guard. I can't really handle this." "Is it because you don't think he's a good person? You did mention that he's too busy with work," Eva asked.
"No! In fact, that's not the main reason. Nick's a really good guy, but I just never thought about our relationship that way," Mia reiterated her intention again.
Eva suggested, "Why not give it sthought? I think Nicholas is quite brilliant." Spiraling in turmoil, Mia went upstairs to her room, where she struggled to regain her composure. Peyton called shortly after.
"Ms. Lane, the case against the Jones family brought by Harper has already been brought to court. It's likely for them to lose the case and be imprisoned. Also, I've heard that the Bowen family is about to close the collaboration deal with the Barretts." "Is Timothy still in the hospital?" "I'm not sure about that. Shall I send someone to check?" "It's fine. Whether he lives or dies is his own fate. Don't send someone over to keep watch on him." Furthermore, she already told Caleb where Timothy was after finally receiving a call from him.

Aren't you supposed to have left by now? Why are you calling me?" "You can't possibly forget about our promise yesterday, can you you said you arrange forto visit our child at the hospital today." inFine.
His unexpected audacity stunned Mia. In the end, she gave in Fine. I'll let you meet Ginger at the hospital this afternoon. I'll send you the hospital address later." Given how unyielding Timothy was, she figured she had no choice but to let him see Ginger just this once. She hung up promptly and called Peyton to proceed with the necessary arrangements at the hospital, so he wouldn't notice anything. Mia headed straight to Ginger's room after she woke up. She was still sound asleep.
As she stroked Ginger's face gently, Ginger stirred in her sleep. She woke up with a yawn, looking at her drowsily. "Mommy." Mia hugged her. "Are you awake? Does sleeping alone make you scared?" "Nope. I'm a big girl now. I can sleep alone." Mia smiled and said, "Right, I need your help with something now." She explained the entire situation to Ginger briefly.
Ginger nodded. "Sure! But Mommy, why are you worried that Daddy will find Sage?" Mia fell silent momentarily before she replied, "He'll take both of you away fromif he finds out about Sage's existence." "What if he won't?" Ginger's question took her by surprise.
She looked at Ginger and asked, "How would you know?"
