"Did someone used the antidote to force you to send her away?" Hubert guessed.

"Explaining things always feels like making excuses," Micah said with a bitter smile. "That's why I hate explaining. I figure those who get me will just get me. Maybe that's why it often leads to more misunderstandings." "Yeah." Micah nodded. "But that's not the point. In the end, it was my fault. I didn't handle things right, which led to this mess."

"I see," Hubert said, "Logically, if she left like that, she would've died. But if there was an antidote, why did she have such severe aftereffects?"

"There was an accident with the last bottle of antidote," Micah explained. "That day, Brenda was brutally attacked during a thunderstorm and almost died. Tristan saved her and took her home." "Got it." Hubert sighed deeply. "Fate is cruel."

"I owe her too much. Now I just hope she recovers soon." As Micah spoke, a bug flew by, blurring his vision. He waved it away without much thought.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Hubert noticed something. "Oh, I don't have my glasses. I can't see clearly right now. I'll check on you tomorrow."

"It's nothing. Just a bug," Micah said indifferently. "My eyes are fine."

"No, something's still off." Hubert was saying when Paula walked in. "Dr. Henry, Ms. Roth's wound has been treated. We gave her a bottle of potion as you instructed. She should sleep well tonight." "Good." Dr. Henry nodded. "I should rest too. I'm old and can't stay up late."

Micah helped him up.

"You should get some rest too," Hubert waved him off. "Next time she bites you, just put something in her mouth. You don't have to let her bite you, silly boy."

"Got it." Micah watched Hubert walk away, thinking that he was not only a skilled doctor but also incredibly wise.

He could see through things even if no one said much.

Maybe he could be the key to reconciling the James family and the Clemens family.

"Mr. Clemens, are you okay?" Rebecca came down downstairs, looking concerned. "How's your injury? Let me see."

"It's just a small wound. I'm fine." Micah hid his hand behind his back.

"Come on, no kidding. I went upstairs to tidy up, and there was so much blood on the bed." Rebecca said, her voice choking up.

"Trust me, it's just a small wound." Micah didn't want her to cry. "Alright, you should go rest. The kids are waiting for your breakfast tomorrow."

"Okay, since Dr. Henry checked on you, it shouldn't be serious. But you need to take care of yourself and avoid getting hurt. Otherwise, Raymond will worry. He asks me about you every day." Rebecca realized she had said too much. "Oh, it's late. I'm going to bed now."

She covered her mouth and hurried off.

Micah shook his head and smiled. He used to be cold and indifferent, thinking everything was boring. But now, he found the people and things around him to have a lovely side, like Hubert and Rebecca. And even Raymond, who couldn't let go of him even in old age.

Just as he was thinking, his phone rang. It was a call from Raymond. He was speechless; Rebecca really had a quick mouth.

He quickly went back to his room to answer the call. "Hello."
