"Mr. Clemens, I gotta tell you something," Andrew's voice came from outside.

"Take your time packing; no rush," Micah said, putting out his cigarette and heading out. "The kids are in the yard." "Okay," Sadie replied, watching him leave.

Micah left the room, and Annika led him and Andrew to the study, handed them two bottles of mineral water, and then left. "What's going on?" Micah asked, frowning.

Andrew reported, "Duke Louis and some other shareholders are trying to boot Ms. James from the stadium project. They've already got the lawyers to draft the papers. Just waiting for your signature. Anthony called earlier, asking when you'd have time to review the documents."

Then he opened his tablet, "Here's the electronic version."

"Ignore it," Micah said, annoyed, "We'll deal with it on Monday."

"Got it," Andrew replied, putting away the tablet, "There's one more thing."

"Spit it out," Micah said impatiently.

"Rylan found Hubert; he's still in Newark," Andrew said softly, "You should go see him ASAP. We can't delay any longer."

"Why can't this wait? Does it have to be now?" Micah glared at him coldly.

"Hubert's leaving for Avalis tonight. Rylan had a hard time convincing him to stay," Andrew said urgently. "Rylan mentioned Hubert's not feeling well; his condition is really bad. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid..." "Enough," Micah interrupted, checking his watch, "Where is he?"

"In the northern suburbs of Newark," Andrew said, "It's over a three-hour drive."

"We'll leave after lunch," Micah said. He wanted to spend more time with Sadie and the kids.

"But..." Andrew hesitated.

"Stop nagging," Micah said, giving Andrew a light kick, "You've been getting more and more nagging lately."

"Yes," Andrew answered, lowering his head in frustration, not daring to say more. He and Rylan were most concerned about Micah's health, but Micah himself was indifferent.

Micah walked out of the study, ready to go downstairs, when he saw Annika saying something to Sadie on the stairs. Sadie immediately ordered, "Prepare the car. We'll leave in an hour."

"What about the kids..." Annika began.

"I'll spend some time with them now, but..." Sadie thought about leaving the kids and felt reluctant. She turned to Micah and asked, "I'm going to visit Hubert now. Can the kids stay here for a few more days?" "Why don't you just move back to Hillside Villa? It's easier to go back and forth from there instead of living in such a remote place," Micah suggested, frowning.

Sadie didn't respond. She knew it was convenient to live at Hillside Villa, but wasn't she trying to keep her distance from Micah? Just because he saved her once didn't mean they should reconcile, right? If Tristan came back, wouldn't he be furious?

"Enough," Micah didn't want to argue anymore and said, "I also want to visit Hubert. Let's go together."

"Really? What about the kids?" Sadie asked, glancing between Andrew and Micah.

"They can stay here for the weekend, but they have to go back on Sunday night," Micah said as he walked out quickly, "I'll wait for you in the car! Let's leave early!"

"Okay," Sadie was very happy and immediately ran to the yard to replace the kids, "Noah, Nathan, Mia!" she called out.

"Mommy," the three kids ran into her arms, hugging her legs and cheering happily. "We finally see you, Mommy. We missed you so much."

"Good, I missed you too," Sadie crouched down, excitedly hugging the kids. She asked softly, "Why didn't you come upstairs to replace me when you arrived? I didn't know you were here." "Daddy said not to disturb your rest," Noah explained.

"Mommy, you've lost weight!" Mia added, her brow furrowed with concern.

"Mommy, why don't you come home? This place is so far. We left before dawn and just got here," Nathan chimed in.

"Yeah, Mommy, come home!" Mia pleaded.

"Mommy, even if you don't want to come home, you can stay at Hillside Villa, which is closer to us," Noah suggested, his young face earnest.
