Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1017 Bite Him

"Hold on a sec." Micah grabbed a towel and dried her shoulders, neck, and arms. "Get rid of the bath towel. It's soaked, and you'll get sick if you sleep like this." Sadie pulled up the blanket, tossed the bath towel aside, turned over, and hugged the pillow, ready to sleep.

Seeing how worn out she looked, Micah felt a deep ache in his heart. He really wanted to hold her, but he knew he couldn't just yet.

Her emotional walls were still up, and she wasn't ready to let him in.

He respected that.

Micah closed the floor-to-ceiling windows and was about to leave, but seeing the fierce wind outside, he worried there might be a storm tonight.

The toxins in Sadie's body weren't completely cleared, and she might still react badly to thunder and lightning.

Thinking of this, Micah decided to stay with her.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Worried Sadie would wake up, Micah quickly went to open it. "What's up?"

"There might be thunder and rain tonight. I need to stay with Ms. James." Annika was holding a blanket and noise-canceling headphones.

"I'll handle it." Micah took the items from her. "You go look after the kids."

"But-" Before Annika could finish, Micah closed the door.

Feeling uneasy, Annika left two female bodyguards at the door, instructing them to notify her immediately if there was any commotion in the room. Then, Annika went to handle other matters.

Micah closed the doors and windows, sat on the sofa with the blanket, propped his chin with one hand, and quietly watched Sadie.

He thought about all the moments they had shared over the years, each one vivid in his mind.

For the past two years, he had been filled with regret, hating himself for not protecting her two years ago and causing her to suffer such a terrible ordeal. But now it was different. He was determined to protect her, no matter what.

Sadie slept fitfully, clutching the pillow tightly and curling up like a wounded kitten.

She turned over, and the blanket slipped off.

Micah walked over, covered her with the blanket, and gently stroked her hair.

Suddenly, a loud clap of thunder sounded.

Sadie shivered and woke up in fright.

Micah tried to put the noise-canceling headphones on her quickly, but it was too late. Sadie knocked them off and clutched her head, writhing in pain on the bed. "Sadie!" Micah urgently held her, covering her ears. "It's okay. It's okay. Don't be afraid."

Sadie bit her lower lip hard, not daring to make a sound. She didn't want to wake the kids.

Maybe because of the treatment, her condition was milder than before.

Or maybe it was because her room had soundproof glass, and the doors and windows were closed, so the thunder wasn't very loud.

So her episode this time wasn't as severe as before.

But she was still in great pain, rolling on the bed and biting her lip until it bled, staining the blanket.

Micah felt heartbroken and quickly tried to pry her teeth apart, but she immediately bit down hard on his hand.

Soon, blood flowed, staining the white blanket.

"Damn. Your mind is pretty clear, biting me so hard."

Micah's brows furrowed in pain, but at least she wasn't hurting herself anymore, which gave him some comfort.

"Ms. James, are you okay? Ms. James?" Arya was anxiously knocking on the door. "Mr. Clemens, are you in there? Is Ms. James okay? We're coming in." Just as Micah was about to respond, Arya burst in, followed by four female bodyguards.

Then, Arya and the four female bodyguards saw Micah sitting on the bed, holding Sadie tightly.

Sadie was biting his hand hard, and she wasn't wearing anything.
