Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 1353 Scheme (2)

"The wound's pretty bad," Andrew said, frowning as he pulled out his phone. "I'll ask Dahlia to get some stronger painkillers ready."

"No need," Annika quickly replied. "We've got some at home."

"External injuries take time to heal. It should get better in a few days," Andrew advised. "Dahlia's a top-notch surgeon; she can handle this."

Annika sighed, "If only Hubert were here."

"Yeah, if only Hubert hadn't died," Andrew echoed, his expression softening with shared sorrow. If Hubert were still around, they wouldn't have to worry so much about Micah's illness.

"And it would be good if Tristan were here too," Annika added sadly. "His doctor friend is also very skilled."

"Are you talking about Riley?" Andrew asked immediately.

"Yes, Riley," Annika nodded. "Ms. James used to see him when she was sick, and she always got better quickly."

"Do you still have contact with him?" Andrew asked tentatively.

"We don't, but Terry should," Annika said casually. "If Ms. James's injury doesn't improve, I'll call Terry."

"Terry?" Andrew asked urgently.

"Yes," Annika nodded.

Andrew felt a surge of excitement. How had he overlooked this? Riley was friends with Tristan, and Tristan's trusted assistant, Terry, should be in contact with Riley. And Sadie, Ms. James, was the best person to reach Terry. In other words, if they could contact Terry, they could replace Riley.

"Time's up, I have to go," Annika said, checking her watch.

"Okay," Andrew got out of the car and opened the passenger door.

Annika got out and reminded him, "I'll head back now. Today might be busy, so I'll contact you tomorrow."

"Take good care of yourself," Andrew gently advised.

Annika nodded and walked away quickly. She knew Sadie was still at home waiting for her news.

If Andrew contacted Terry, it meant that Micah's condition was really serious.

Andrew watched Annika's figure disappear from sight, then immediately started the car to head back. He had to share this good news with Micah and see if they could replace a way to contact Riley through Terry. Meanwhile, Annika hurried back home.

"Ms. James!" Annika announced, knocking and entering, still catching her breath.

"How did it go?" Sadie poured her a cup of tea. She advised, "Sit down and tell me."

Annika took a sip of tea, still panting, and said, "I followed your instructions. At first, he was very guarded, but when I mentioned Riley, his eyes lit up, and his whole demeanor changed. I sensed he really wants to contact Riley, but at the crucial moment, he held back. I think if Mr. Clemens is really in trouble, he'll contact Terry soon."

Hearing this, Sadie's face grew serious. She should have picked up on it sooner. In just two months, Micah had lost so much weight, and his overall condition wasn't good. If it were just a minor injury, it wouldn't have gotten this bad. Could he have some incurable disease? But that didn't seem likely either. The Clemens Family had strong genes; Raymond had lived to 98, and there was no history of cancer in the family. How could he be sick?

Whatever it was, they needed to replace out his condition as soon as possible and figure out a strategy.

Micah's pride was too strong. Who knew how long he could hold out?

"Ms. James," Annika asked softly, breaking the silence, "what should we do now?"

"Tomorrow, I'll go to Avalis to pay my respects to Hubert," Sadie decided quickly. "We'll have a clearer answer then."
