Chapter 1146
"Grandma has regained consciousness, so it appears the reishi mushrooms won't be necessary after all. Unfortunately, her overall condition isn't very promising," Timothy informed Mia. "The doctors have advised us to prepare ourselves mentally. However, I've already shared the news about Sage and Ginger with Grandma, and she was delighted," he added.
"I understand. I've already arranged for someone to purchase and book our flights for tomorrow. We'll be there to visit her," Mia assured Timothy.
As Timothy stood in the hospital corridor, a smile graced his lips upon hearing Mia's response. "Thanks, Mia. I truly appreciate it."
He understood well that the Lane family might not readily consent to Mia bringing Sage and Ginger back to Bern City.
"Throughout the years, Grandma Laura has been incredibly kind to me, and she always wished for me to have children.
"Given my past deception toward her, it's only right that I bring Sage and Ginger to visit her. Perhaps their presence could uplift Grandma Laura's spirits. After all, such matters can be unpredictable." As Timothy absorbed Mia's words over the phone, a part of his heart softened instantly.
His voice faltered as he said, "Alright, I'll arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport tomorrow."
Once the call ended, Mia found herself sitting alone by the window, deep in thought for what seemed like an eternity.
She hadn't anticipated her return to Bern City would be spurred by Laura's awakening.
Despite everything, the possibility of Laura regaining consciousness this time felt like a brief ray of hope, perhaps even a final surge of vitality.
Mia found it unfathomable to imagine that the person who had provided her with nurturing care during her vulnerable orphaned years would suddenly leave this world. The thought of it was simply too agonizing for her to grasp.
The next day, Mia wasted no time and headed straight to the airport with Sage and Ginger.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
With the doctors' warnings about Laura's unstable condition ringing in her ears, she believed it was prudent to return with Sage and Ginger sooner rather than later. Before she departed, Eva couldn't help but inquire, "Why are you leaving so hastily?"
In a hushed tone, Mia confided, "Timothy mentioned yesterday that Grandma Laura's recovery might only be a fleeting moment of awareness.
"Uncertain of what lies ahead, I think it's wise to bring Sage and Ginger back early, just in case. After all, meeting them might be Grandma Laura's dearest wish." Eva nodded solemnly, reaching out to comfort Mia with a gentle pat on the shoulder. "I have faith in Mrs. Barrett Senior's resilience. Sometimes, fate has its own agenda. "However, having Sage and Ginger there can only positively contribute to Mrs. Barrett Senior's gradual recovery."
"I share your optimism. If Grandma
Laura's condition truly isn't favorable, I might consider
extending our stay in Bern City for a while. Eva, I may need your help in persuading Dominic about that."
"Don't worry, I have a heart-to-heart with Dominic, Even though he seems tough, he really does care about you. Besides, he hasn't forgotten all the kindness Mrs.
Barrett Senior has shown you in the past."

Accompanied by Sage and Ginger, Mia boarded the plane bound for Bern City.
Arriving in this familiar place stirred up a whirlwind of emotions for Mia.
The last time she was here, Sage was still on the path to recovery. But now, having both Sage and Ginger by her side felt like an unparalleled blessing.
As Mia stepped out of the airport with her children, Timothy's assistant, Heath, greeted her respectfully. "Ms. Lane, all the transportation arrangements have been handled."
Mia nodded in acknowledgment, accepting Timothy's thoughtful preparations without objection.
Meanwhile, Ginger looked up at Heath and asked, "Where is he?"
She was clearly referring to Timothy.
"Mr. Barrett had planned to
personally pick you up.
Unfortunately, just before he couldt depart, Mrs. Barrett Senior's condition took a turn for the worse, and she's now receiving urgent medical attention. That's why he
couldn't make it," Hector explained.
A tinge of concern shadowed Mia's expression. Swiftly regaining her composure, she declared, "Let's make our way to the hospital right away."
