Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 138 An Ambiguous Bond

"It was Billy's mom!" Nathan clenched his little fists, speaking excitedly. "She called us fatherless and said even worse things..."

Nathan bit his lip, unable to finish his sentence, his face stubbornly red and his eyes welling up with tears.

"Just ignore her, she's doing it on purpose!" Noah said, trying to sound mature to his little brother, though his eyes were red too.

Sadie bit her lip, silent, acutely aware of how deeply those words wounded her children...

Once upon a time, she endured whatever treatment they dished out, the bullying, the humiliation. But this time, she simply could not tolerate it... "She's definitely going to have bad luck," Brenda fumed with anger.

"Has her fever gone down?" Sadie deftly changed the subject.

Checking the thermometer, Noah furrowed his little brows, "Mommy, we need to give Mia some fever-reducing medicine."

"I'll go get the medicine," Nathan said, trotting off on his little legs to fetch the first-aid kit.

Brenda found the fever reducer and gave it to Mia.

Mia's coughing was relentless. Choking, she spat out the majority of the medicine, only managing to ingest a small amount of the dose.

Sadie was now frantic with worry. Mia had always been weaker of the three children since birth, so Sadie always took extra care of her.

Thanks to attentive care, Mia's health had improved greatly over the past six months. Today, it was probably her intense crying that inflamed her tonsils and caused the fever.

After giving Mia the medicine and tending to her, it was already 8:20 p.m.

As she changed her clothes, Sadie said to Brenda, "Brenda, I have to go to work now. It'll be tough tonight. Please make sure Mia drinks plenty of water, keep wiping her down with a wet towel; if her temperature hasn't dropped by the time I get home, we'll take her to the hospital."

"Ma'am, it's so late, where do you have to work at this hour?" Brenda couldn't help but worry.

"I've found a part-time job. It's from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and I'm already running very late." Sadie quickly slipped into her clothes and rushed out with her handbag.

"Mommy, wait!" Noah chased after her and handed her a bag, "You haven't had dinner, take this sandwich with you." "And this too." Nathan came running out with a box of yogurt, "Don't worry, Mommy, we'll take good care of Mia." "Mmm-hmm." Tears welled up in Sadie's eyes, "Thank you, Noah, Nathan. I need to get going now. Be good, you two!" "We know, Mommy!"

Sadie hailed a cab and rushed to DTT Bar. On the ride in, she nibbled on the sandwich and drank the yogurt, her thoughts on her children, her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears...

She could bear any hardship, any suffering, but she couldn't let her children get hurt.

Leah and Kathleen were shameless, rich, and idle. She couldn't afford to spend neither her time nor energy to deal with them.

Perhaps she should consider changing the kids' nursery...

But changing nurseries would mean spending money, so her current goal was to earn as much as she possibly could.

At exactly 8:30 p.m., Sadie was still on her way in when an unfamiliar number called her. Assuming that it was DTT, she hurriedly answered, "Hello!"

"Sadie, what's going on? Aren't you coming in tonight?" It was Jonny, the owner of the bar.

"I'm really sorry, something came up at home. I had to deal with the emergency and I left late. I'm on my way in now, should be another ten minutes..."

"Alright then, I'll have another singer cover for now. You start at 9:30 p.m.!"

"All right, thank you so much, Jonny." After hanging up the phone, Sadie let out a sigh of relief, grateful that her boss was a good person. Had he been like that devil, she would most certainly have been fired by now!

At 9:10 p.m., Sadie hurried to DTT where a male singer was on stage belting out a rock song with professional flair, yet the crowd did not sound happy, "We want to hear the beauty queen from last night sing!" "Absolutely, we came especially to see her, where is she?"

Sadie made a beeline for the dressing room as she managed to slip backstage passed the crowd.

In the corner, Jonny was waving his hands anxiously, motioning for her to hurry up and change.

Sadie vigorously nodded her head in response to him, and at the same time, she noticed that sitting beside Jonny was the boy who bore an uncanny resemblance to the "debt-repaying male escort." He sat in the leather chair with a conceited pose, swirling his drink, a charming smile watching her, his gaze flirtatious.
