Chapter 758 

“I’m Heath, Mr. Barrett’s assistant. There’s been an urgent contract negotiation these past few days that Mr. Barrett needed to attend. 

“However, to expedite matters and make arrangements for his hospitalization for the bone marrow donation, he had to reschedule the meeting with our partners. 

“Normally, Mr. Barrett refrains from alcohol, but given the circumstances, he ended up drinking excessively.” 

Upon hearing this, Mia pursed her lips and responded, “I see. Please ensure Mr. Barrett gets back to rest as soon as possible.” 

There was a hint of hesitation in Heath’s voice on the other end of the line. “Ms. Monalize, Mr. Barrett has been drunkenly calling out your name. Could you come over for a moment?” 

“Alright, just give me the address. I’ll be there shortly.” 

After ending the call, Mia gently patted Ginger’s head. “I need to step out for a bit. Be good, wash up, and get ready for bed. I’ll be back soon to tuck you in.” 

“Is it the bad guy looking for you?” 

“He’s had too much to drink, I need to go check on him.” 

Mia didn’t feel the need to explain all the details to Ginger. After all, Timothy was rushing to complete his work early so he could make it to the bone marrow 

donation. 

Considering the circumstances, Mia felt obliged to check on him. She certainly couldn’t risk Timothy backing out at such a crucial moment. 

Besides, it wouldn’t hurt to pay him a visit. 

Exiting the hospital, Mia headed directly to the restaurant. 

As the car pulled up outside, Mia entered in her high heels. Upon arriving at the second–floor private lounge, she found Timothy seated alone at a large round 

1/3 

table. 

Timothy lounged lazily, his suit jacket casually tossed aside, with several buttons of his shirt remaining undone, revealing his delicate collarbones. 

Approaching the intoxicated Timothy, Mia spoke softly, “Mr. Barrett, are you ready to leave now?” 

At the sound of Mia’s voice, Timothy slowly lifted his head, his eyes reflecting a mixture of complex emotions. He replied in a deep voice, “You’re here?” 

“Yes, I’m here. Let’s go.” 

Mia swiftly assisted Timothy to his feet. Her priority was to get the drunken Timothy into the car so she could swiftly return to the hospital and be with 

Ginger. 

She had initially anticipated some resistance, but to her surprise, Timothy cooperated obediently, following her lead without hesitation. 

After settling Timothy into the car, Mia turned to Heath in the passenger seat. Remember to have someone prepare some chicken soup for him once he sobers up.” 

However, as Mia prepared to leave, Timothy suddenly pulled her into his arms, and she immediately noticed the smell of alcohol on his breath. 

“Mr. Barrett, what are you doing?” 

Resting his chin on her head, Timothy’s voice resonated deep and low. “I just want to hold you for a while,” he murmured. 

Mia couldn’t help but frown at his words, but considering Timothy’s impending bone marrow donation, she refrained from pushing him away. 

As the car moved, Mia sat beside Timothy in silence. 

During the journey, neither of them spoke a word to each other. 

Mia found herself leaning against Timothy’s intoxicated body, her ear attuned to the steady and forceful rhythm of his heartbeat pulsating against his chest. 

For some inexplicable reason, Mia felt a growing sense of unease, as if something 

was amiss

Lost in her thoughts, she was abruptly jolted back to reality as the car came to a sudden stop. 

Lifting her gaze, Mia caught sight of a villa outside the car window. In that 

instant, a flurry of images flooded her mind, causing her to furrow her brow and draw in a sharp breath. 

“What’s wrong?” Timothy glanced down at Mia, noticing her hand reaching for her head. 

He instinctively reached out to assist her, only to be met with a sharp push from Mia. “Don’t touch me!” she exclaimed. 

Timothy’s lips tightened coldly. “Does this place make you uncomfortable?”
