Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 1404 Heartache
Dahlia, worried that Sadie might accidentally hurt Micah, kept reminding her, "The main thing is that the wound is connected to some important nerves, so it's pretty dangerous. You heard what Dr. Perez said earlier. We all need to be extra
careful right now."
"I get it," Sadie nodded. "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Dahlia added awkwardly, "And with everything going on, the medical staff and I need to stay by his side 24/7."
"I understand." Sadie knew Dahlia was still worried about potential mistakes since Micah's life was on the line.
"That's good," Dahlia finally sighed in relief. "You should go see Mr. Clemens. I'll tidy up here."
Sadie nodded. "Alright." She walked to the bedside and saw the unconscious Micah, feeling deeply regretful.
If she had figured things out earlier, if she had forgiven him sooner, he wouldn't be in this state. He had done so much for her behind the scenes, silently enduring so much pain, yet never letting her know.
She had always thought he was just domineering and forceful, trying to keep her by his side. Only now did she realize his good intentions.
Andrew was right; the past grievances and feuds were over. Those people from the past were gone, and it was time to let go.
"Ms. James, have some tea," Dahlia said as she poured Sadie a cup. "Did you just get back? Are you hurt?"
"Yes, I just got back. I'm fine." Sadie then asked, "When will he wake up?"
"Dr. Perez said maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow morning. It's hard to say," Dahlia's voice was very soft, afraid of disturbing Micah. "Mr. Clemens was really in danger this time. I almost thought..." Halfway through her sentence, Dahlia stopped and quickly changed her words, "That vase hit Micah's critical spot. If it weren't for Dr. Perez, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"It's all my fault..." Sadie muttered. She felt extremely guilty. Micah already had an old ailment, and being hit by the vase was like a trigger, affecting the nerves in his brain and making the situation dangerous.
"Don't say that," Dahlia comforted softly. "It was just an accident. You can't blame yourself."
"I came straight here after getting off the plane and haven't had a chance to change clothes," Sadie realized that she might bring bacteria to Micah. "I'll go to the guest room to freshen up and come back." "Alright," Dahlia said and had a servant take Sadie to the guest room.
Sadie went to the guest room but didn't rush to freshen up. Instead, she tried calling Jesse and Terry, but neither of their phones could be reached. Anxious, she tried to contact Tristan's other subordinates, but she couldn't get through to any of them either.
Sadie panicked and immediately called Arya, instructing her to replace a way to contact someone around Tristan, even a minor attendant, as soon as possible.
Arya asked what had happened, but Annika told her not to ask too many questions and just do as instructed. Arya, rarely seeing her so anxious, immediately went to handle it.
Sadie took a shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and went to Micah's room.
By then, Dahlia and several medical staff had already tidied up the medical supplies and were using a warm towel to wipe Micah's body.
Sadie stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."
Dahlia handed her the warm towel and softly reminded her, "Be careful not to touch his head."
"I know," Sadie carefully avoided Micah's head and wiped his body. But when she reached his hands, she couldn't help but pause.
The back of his hands was full of needle marks, with bruises left from the injections, and even his wrists had many needle marks. And she had never noticed.
Sadie felt immense guilt, her nose tingling and her eyes reddening. She unbuttoned his collar to wipe his body and found that his chest was also covered in bruises.
