Sadie knew Micah was stubborn as a mule. Even if something was seriously wrong, he wouldn't show any weakness in front of them. Asking him would be pointless and might even upset him. So, she decided to drop it.

"Alright, I'll let you go," Micah grumbled, reluctantly letting her go.

Sadie got up, threw on a coat, hit the bathroom to freshen up, changed her clothes, and came back to help Micah wash his face.

She wasn't used to taking care of others. For the past couple of years, she'd been living the good life, with everything taken care of for her. But for some reason, when it came to caring for Micah, everything felt so effortlessly familiar and natural.

Micah felt a warm glow inside as he watched her fuss over him. He thought about how great things were when they were together before, and now, maybe they could get back to that.

After wiping Micah's hands, Sadie said, "All done!" and opened the door.

Andrew, Dahlia, Annika, and some attendants were waiting outside. They greeted her in unison, "Ms. James!" Sadie nodded, "Come in."

The three of them walked in. Andrew went to tend to Micah, and Dahlia started checking his wounds. Annika whispered in Sadie's ear, "The private jet is ready. We leave at 2 PM."

"Got it," Sadie nodded.

"If there's nothing else, let's get out of here," Micah said in a low voice, "It's too stuffy in this hospital."

"Mr. Clemens, your wound is really deep and needs to be monitored here. It's not safe for you to leave now," Dahlia said urgently. "Even though Half Mountain Villa has a medical room, the equipment is limited. It's better to stay here. In case of any emergencies, we can..."

"There won't be any emergencies," Micah cut her off impatiently. "It's just a minor injury. No need to make a big deal out of it."

"But..." Dahlia started to argue but shut up when Micah shot her a glare. She looked to Andrew for help.

"Alright, if you want to be discharged, I'll handle it," Andrew said, following Micah's orders without question.

Dahlia was speechless.

"Good," Micah said, satisfied, then turned to Sadie, "Come here!"

Sadie frowned. Micah was slipping back into his old ways. As soon as things got a bit better between them, he was back to being bossy. "What do you want?" Sadie asked, walking over to the bedside.

Micah grabbed her hand and commanded, "Move in with me."

Sadie asked, "Why?"

Micah said, "I got hurt because of you. You said you'd take responsibility."

She was at a loss for words and could only say, "What about the kids?"

"Of course, they'll come home," Micah said, imagining a family reunion, a smile spreading across his face. "Even though I'm laid up, I can still tell them stories."

"I mean those three little girls," Sadie said worriedly. "I can't just leave them at Hillside Villa."

"Those three little girls? They're a bit noisy, but they're cute," Micah thought of the three little girls, and his smile grew wider. "Bring them along!"

"What?" Sadie was shocked. She knew Micah liked kids and was good with them.

But those were Tristan's kids. They got along fine when they saw each other occasionally, but living together? Could that work?

"They're very lively and can't sit still for a second. It'll be really noisy," Sadie suggested a compromise. "You should rest at home for a few days. I have to go out for a bit. I'll come back to see you in a few days." "Where are you going?" Micah asked, gripping her hand tightly, "You can't leave!"
