Just then, a knock echoed through the room. Chloe glanced at the video monitor and said, "Mr. Clemens, it's Dr. Rey." "Let her in," Micah replied.

Chloe quickly opened the door, and Dahlia walked in, a folder under her arm. "Mr. Clemens, I've been thinking, and I need your input on this," she said, pulling out a document. "This afternoon, Ms. James reached out to me about Serena." After hearing Dahlia out, Micah picked up the document and skimmed it. "Gabriella Perez is tough to get. Are you asking me to step in?"

"I wouldn't dare," Dahlia said with a wry smile. "Honestly, even if Dr. Perez comes, there's no guarantee she can cure Serena. But at least her visit would put Ms. James at ease."

"Then invite her," Micah decided. "Give me Dr. Perez's number, I'll call her myself."

Dahlia handed over her phone without hesitation. As Micah dialed, the scene shifted to a car speeding toward Hillside Villa.

Sadie sat in the backseat, fuming as she clutched her phone. "This is so damn infuriating! I spent hours talking and offered a hefty sum, but Dr. Perez won't budge."

"These top doctors usually have strong personalities," Annika said with a smile. "She probably doesn't know your true identity and thinks you're a scammer, so she doesn't trust you enough to come."

"That's possible," Sadie said, frowning. "Do I have to fly to Country F myself?"

"If you leave, what about the kids?" Annika said urgently. "Even though you're usually busy and Arya takes care of them, at least they can see you in the evenings. Knowing you're home gives them a sense of security. If you leave, they'll be uneasy."

"That's true." Sadie looked troubled. "Noah, Nathan, and Mia are fine because Micah is there, but those three little girls have neither their dad nor mom around, only me."

"If you're really worried, why not let Arya go?" Annika suggested.

"Arya isn't reliable for this," Sadie thought for a moment. "How about this? You take two people and go."

"But if I'm not here, you won't have anyone close by, and Arya is already busy enough with the kids..." Annika hesitated.

"Stop talking nonsense," Sadie interrupted.

"Alright." Annika was reluctant but had to obey. Just as she was about to make arrangements, Sadie's phone rang. She glanced at the screen and quickly answered, "Hello, Dahlia." "Ms. James, Dr. Perez has agreed to come to Newark," Dahlia said excitedly. "She'll be on a flight in five days, and I'll be there to meet her."

"That's great, thank you, Dahlia." Sadie was overjoyed. "You managed to do it; I couldn't get Dr. Perez to agree no matter how hard I tried."

"She is quite difficult to invite." As Dahlia spoke, she looked at Micah with a complicated expression. If it weren't for him personally stepping in, Gabriella probably wouldn't have agreed. "How did you manage to get her to agree?" Sadie asked curiously.

"We have some connections, and we offered good terms, so she agreed." Dahlia spoke cautiously. Micah had just reminded her not to let Sadie know he had helped.

"I'll cover all the expenses," Sadie said immediately. "Thank you so much, Dahlia."

"You're welcome. I'll call Jonny now to save him from worrying about this every day," Dahlia said.

"Alright, go ahead," Sadie said.

Sadie was about to hang up when she suddenly heard a voice on the other end. "Mr. Clemens, this document..."

Chloe's words were cut off halfway by Micah's gesture, which startled her into silence.
