The family was having a lively meal, with Micah looking after the three kids and chatting with Hubert now and then. Hubert brought up last night's incident again, "Come to the pharmacy after dinner, and I'll check your eyes."

"My eyes are fine." Micah was stirring the soup in Mia's bowl, the steam creating a thin mist in front of his eyes.

Sadie glanced at Micah. Other than a bit of redness, he seemed fine. Maybe he just didn't sleep well.

"I can't see anything wrong with you right now." Hubert squinted and examined Micah closely.

"It's nothing. Just a bug flew past my eyes yesterday." Micah turned to feed Mia the soup. At that moment, his phone rang. Sadie took the bowl and said, "Let me handle it." Micah handed her the bowl and walked to the side to answer the call, "Yes?"

"Just as you expected." On the other end, Andrew was reporting something important.

Micah's brow furrowed, but he quickly regained his composure and whispered, "Got it. Keep an eye on it."

"Will do."

After hanging up, Micah returned to the table and took the bowl from Sadie. "I'll do it."

He quietly fed Mia the rest of the soup, wiped her mouth, and gently said, "Mia, Daddy has to work these days and can't be with you. You need to cooperate with the treatment, okay?" "Okay." Mia nodded obediently.

"Daddy, don't worry. We'll take care of Mia," Nathan said, patting his chest. "You don't have to stay with us tonight. We'll play chess by ourselves."

"Daddy can't come home for the next few days." Micah patted his head. "There are a lot of things to take care of at the company, so I have to stay there."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

Sadie was a bit taken aback. She thought she had no feelings for him anymore, but hearing that he was leaving made her feel a sense of loss.

Maybe it was because family life had been so great lately that his sudden departure felt jarring.

But Sadie quickly composed herself and, pretending to be indifferent, said calmly, "I'll take good care of the kids. Don't worry about it."

"Are you a little reluctant to see me go?" Micah asked with a mischievous smile.

"You're crazy," Sadie glared at him, irritated. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you leave."

"You're not being honest," Micah said teasingly.

"You..."

"Alright, I have to go." Micah hugged the three kids. "I'll come back to be with you once my work is done."

"Daddy, how long will you be busy?" Mia looked at Micah with teary eyes, not wanting him to leave.

"It won't be long." Micah patted her little face.

"Daddy, take care of yourself." Nathan was also reluctant but tried to be strong, "When you're done, take us to the amusement park."

"I'll keep my word." Micah bumped fists with him and then looked at Noah. "Noah, why aren't you saying anything?"

"I'm just surprised. I didn't expect the situation to be this serious." Noah looked at Micah with a complex expression. "The power of public opinion is indeed strong."

Hearing these words, Sadie felt a bit conflicted. Nathan and Mia didn't understand what Micah was facing, but Noah was different.

He was an IT genius who kept up with financial news and followed the business world every day.

He knew that the exposure of Nick's scandals online had a significant impact on VIC Group and even the Clemens Group. He had always believed that Micah could handle it perfectly. But now, hearing that Micah had to stay at the company to deal with these issues, he realized that the situation was far more serious than he had thought.
