Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1155 Nothing Will Happen

In the next few days, Micah started getting some serious treatment.

The docs checked him out and made it clear: no outside interference during this time, or all their work would go down the drain. Plus, they couldn't promise they'd get rid of all the toxins.

Back when they treated Sadie, they only managed to keep her alive for a bit, and even then, it was Virgil who made the real difference.

But no one had a clue where the legendary Virgil was. Tristan had searched high and low before replaceing him, but by then, Sadie's treatment was done, leaving some side effects.

Virgil couldn't step in again, so he whipped up a life-saving potion for her to drink whenever she had an episode to ease the pain.

Now, Micah was in a similar boat. To avoid missing the best treatment window, he had to start treatment ASAP. The future was a big question mark, but at least they could keep him alive for now.

To keep things on the down-low, Half Mountain Villa was locked down, with only some loyal followers and servants allowed in or out. Half a month flew by, and Micah was still MIA.

The top brass at VIC Group had a unified story: Micah had gone to Country F to handle HQ stuff and wouldn't be in Newark for a while.

Some folks speculated whether Micah had really gone to Country F or if he was just hiding out because Sadie was marrying someone else. The rumor mill was in overdrive about Micah's whereabouts.

VIC Group and the Clemens Group didn't give a hoot about the gossip.

No matter what people said, they stuck to their guns: Micah would be back in two months.

Meanwhile, Sadie heard the buzz from Newark and was super puzzled.

Even if Micah was bummed out because she was marrying Joe, it shouldn't have led to such a meltdown.

They were all career-driven folks who wouldn't let feelings mess with their lives.

Sadie tried to brush it off, thinking, 'Whatever he's doing has nothing to do with me.' But she still felt uneasy.

She asked Noah if he'd managed to get in touch with Micah lately. Noah said he hadn't been able to reach Micah by phone for the past half month. When he talked to Nathan, Nathan said Micah had gone to Country F and was with Silas. When Noah pressed for more details, Nathan said he had to go to class.

Noah found it super fishy. His gut told him Nathan was hiding something.

But the more he asked, the more Nathan dodged him, and eventually, he stopped answering his calls altogether.

Noah told Sadie about this and worriedly asked, "Mom, is Dad in trouble?"

"Not likely," Sadie reassured him. "Maybe there really are a lot of things to handle at the headquarters in Country F."

"No matter how busy he is, he shouldn't be out of touch, right?" Noah was super anxious. "Doesn't he even have time to take a call? And I always feel that Nathan is acting really weird."

Mia, picking up on the tension, pouted and started to cry. "Mommy, I miss Daddy, I miss Nathan. Can we go back to see them, please?"

"Mia." Sadie was about to comfort her when a knock on the door interrupted her. "Ms. James, it's urgent," came Annika's voice.

Sadie walked over and opened the door, asking in a low voice, "What's up?"

Annika leaned in and whispered something in her ear. Sadie's expression shifted immediately. She instructed, "Get the car ready. I'll be down after I change." "Yes." Annika quickly went downstairs to make arrangements.

Sadie turned back to her kids, hugging them tightly. "Noah, Mia, I need to go to your Uncle Tristan's place right now. I'll be back later. Be good, okay?"

"Mommy, when are we going back?" Mia looked at Sadie and asked hopefully.

Sadie cupped Mia's face gently, brushing away a tear with her thumb. "Mia, in forty-five days, your illness will be cured, and then Daddy will come to pick you up. I believe he will be fine. Don't worry, be good!"
