In the next few days, Micah stayed home to recover. Gabriella said there wasn't any real treatment or meds for his condition. The minor surgery he had, where they made a cut behind his ear to drain the blood clot, meant he needed a lot of rest.

Dahlia was glued to Micah's side, even when he went downstairs to eat, with a bunch of attendants in tow, worried he might fall.

Silas kept nagging him, "Be careful, be careful, don't fall."

Micah was getting fed up. He was a grown man, but they treated him like he was made of glass. It was driving him nuts!

He lost his cool a few times, but every time, Silas would get all teary-eyed and start pleading with him, bringing up Raymond and choking up.

Micah couldn't handle that and would immediately calm down and go along with it. But once he was back in his room, he'd curse Andrew under his breath.

Andrew knew him best and knew his vulnerabilities, so before he left, he made sure Silas was there to keep him in line.

It worked. Micah couldn't blow off steam and had to focus on getting better.

The kids came back every day to eat with him. Thanks to Silas's reminders, they behaved and didn't dare bump into Micah, worried they might hurt him. The rest of the time, the kids played with the three little girls at Hillside Villa.

Arya took all six kids to fly kites in the back hills.

With the eagle Coco and the parrot Little Coco joining in, the game was extra fun, and the kids had a blast.

Only Noah always sat alone on a swing under a tree, messing with something on his tablet.

So, two peaceful days went by. On the third day, Micah still hadn't heard from Sadie, and he was getting anxious. Early in the morning, he called Andrew. Andrew said they had found some clues about Sadie and were looking for her, telling him not to worry.

Micah ordered that Sadie must be found and brought back before dark.

Andrew confidently promised to get it done. Only then did Micah feel a bit better.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Mr. Clemens, Ms. Thomas is here."

"Bring her to the study," Micah said. He put down his phone and started changing clothes.

Dahlia helped him to the study, and soon, the servant brought Olivia in.

"Mr. Clemens." Olivia smiled with relief, seeing Micah looking more like his old self. "Seeing you like this, I feel at ease!"

"I heard you brought Dr. Perez at a critical moment," Micah said sincerely. "Thank you!"

"No need to thank me," Olivia replied gently. "It was just a small effort."

"Dr. Perez isn't easy to get. It takes money and connections," Micah looked at her intently. "Most importantly, you thought of this in advance, which is rare!" Even Micah himself hadn't thought of asking Gabriella to stabilize his condition first, but Olivia had.

Olivia smiled. "Your matters are more important to me than my own."

Hearing such a heartfelt confession, Micah didn't know how to respond and stayed silent.

Olivia, sensing the weight of her words, quickly changed the subject. "Relax, I don't want to cause you any pressure or trouble because of this."

She smiled lightly and then continued, "By the way, I came here this time because I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, go ahead," Micah said, looking up at her.

Olivia hesitated for a moment and then spoke with difficulty, "Actually, from my perspective, I shouldn't bring this up, but..." "Don't worry, I trust you completely," Micah reassured her. "What is it? Just say it."
