Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 178 The Circular Bathtub

Micah Clemens, upon seeing the parrot in Sadie's embrace, exhaled a sigh of relief: "I thought there was a kid, it's just a bird!"

"Hurry, we need to get it to the vet," Sadie urged frantically.

Poor Coco's wing was injured, the bird barely hanging onto life.

Micah Clemens swept Sadie Roth up in his arms, striding out of the room. A sudden crunch underfoot caused him to let out a startled "whoa," pausing to look down... It was a doll! Sadie Roth's heart skipped a beat-oh no, that was Mia's doll...

"Really? Still playing with dolls? How childish!" Micah commented, mistaking it as Sadie's plaything. Without giving it a second thought, he carried her swiftly away.

Inside, Sadie breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad she had sent Brenda and the kids away earlier, sparing them from a violent confrontation and avoiding an awkward encounter with Micah Clemens.

Plus, she was thankful for the cover of darkness in the house; it hid the toddler's toys from view. If Micah had seen the baby gear, he would've been onto the secret of the child...

Once they were in the car, Micah drove one-handed, freeing his other hand to call Dahlia: "Come over, she's hurt. And bring someone who can treat a bird-a vet."

"A bird?" Dahlia sounded puzzled on the phone but quickly responded with respect, "Yes, right away."

"It's a cockatiel named Coco," Sadie clarified seriously.

"Aren't cockatiels birds?" Micah shot back.

Left speechless, Sadie conceded to herself-fine, a bird is a bird.

After all, the injured and unconscious Coco wouldn't complain.

Arriving at the familiar villa, Micah lifted Sadie out of the car. Over twenty neatly dressed guards and staff lined up, greeting respectfully.

Feeling uneasy, Sadie murmured, "Put me down."

"Shut up," Micah commanded in a low growl, carrying her upstairs.

The room from last time had been tidied, with a maid waiting at the door.

As Micah carried Sadie in, laying her gently on the bed, their proximity in the silence forged an intense connection, stirring a tumult of emotions in both.

Sadie was a mix of nervousness and apprehension.

His eyes, meanwhile, held a shadow of desire, tinged with concern.

"Micah Clemens..." Dahlia's voice drifted in from the doorway.

Instantly, Micah's expression turned stoic. He straightened up, instructing firmly, "Take a good look at her."

And with that, he stepped out...

"Yes," Dahlia bowed, her tone filled with deference.

"I'm fine, check on Coco first," Sadie urged, nodding towards the limp bird in her arms.

"Uh... turns out it was just a little parrot." Dahlia laughed. "Perfect timing-I brought a vet with me. She'll take care of it, don't you worry."

After Dahlia arranged for the vet to look after Coco, she turned her attention to Sadie Roth. Finding that Sadie was mostly unscathed except for some minor scrapes, she applied some ointment and instructed the staff to make a cup of tea. Fortunately, Coco's wing was hurt but there was no danger to his life; he simply needed to be taken to Dahlia's animal hospital for proper care, where all the necessary equipment and tools were available.

Dahlia assured Sadie that by tomorrow night, the little parrot would be returned to her, vibrant and energetic as ever. Only then did Sadie feel at ease.

After departing with her team, the servants tended to Sadie, helping her wash up and change.

Sadie quickly showered, dressed, and went next door to replace Micah Clemens.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Sadie knocked on the door, calling softly, "It's me, can I come in?"

"Come in," came Micah's voice.

Sadie pushed the door open; the room was dimly lit, with only the faint light from the bathroom and silence where there should have been the sound of running water. She bit her lower lip and cautiously made her way over...

The warmth from the bathroom was inviting, and the light reflected on the ceiling from the bathtub water created a shimmering effect.

There, in the tub, Micah Clemens reclined with his eyes closed, completely naked, savoring a moment of relaxation...
