"Miss Roth, good morning!"

Dahlia greeted her with a smile as she walked in, followed by two medical assistants carrying a medical kit.

"Good morning!" Sadie instantly understood that Dahlia was the one Andrew had mentioned would come to treat her waist.

"I was coming over to treat your waist injury, so I thought it would be best to bring Brenda along to see the kids. She still needs to head back to the hospital later for treatment," Dahlia explained with a smile. "Oh, it's just a minor illness. There's no need for hospitalization," Brenda protested quickly. "I feel more comfortable at home, and being with the boys and girls just makes me happy."

"Brenda, you can't do that," Sadie said sternly, her face set in seriousness. "You need to be hospitalized to get proper treatment. You have to set a good example for the kids." "Miss..."

"Brenda, we'll visit you in the hospital frequently. You have to focus on your treatment," Noah chimed in, lifting his little head to encourage Brenda.

"Brenda's sick?" Mia finally caught on, hurriedly cradling Brenda's face. "Brenda, when you're sick, you must listen to the doctor, okay? You always encouraged me to do the same when I was ill." "Alright, alright!" Brenda conceded, seeing that the children all felt the same, and she nodded with a smile. "I will be good!"

"That's right." Sadie smiled with relief. "Today you can take a half-day off to spend some quality time with the kids."

"Yes, yes, yes, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll go make it for you right now," Brenda, passionate as usual, hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and headed for the kitchen. "Hey!" Sadie pulled her back immediately. "You're a patient in need of proper rest."

"Exactly, we've got the kitchen in control now. Just relax and play with the kids," the three nurses said with cheerful grins.

"Who are..." Brenda pointed at them, looking at Sadie with confusion.

"It's the... uh," Sadie choked up a bit before saying, "They have been arranged here for the three children."

"We were sent by Mr. Clemens," Dr. Charles quickly clarified.

Brenda frowned slightly and yet said nothing.

"Brenda, Mommy, don't leave me alone!" Nathan's anxious voice called out from the room.

"Ha-ha, we almost forgot you! Nathan is still in his room! Let's go keep him company," Sadie suggested, linking arms with Brenda.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Brenda's mood lifted seeing the children.

The family enjoyed a brief reunion in the children's room before Sadie returned to the master bedroom, where Dahlia attended to her injury with a new application of medicine. "Doctor Rey, thank you for this," Sadie murmured softly. "How is Brenda's health?"

"She'd hardly eaten anything. She was unable to fall sleep for the past few days, and she was even uncooperative with the treatment," Dahlia said with a wry smile. "Seeing you and the kids now might perk her up a bit. But there's a misunderstanding about Micah that's quite deep-rooted in her mind. You might need to work on clearing that up with her."

"Understood," Sadie nodded and thanked her sincerely.

"And you? Any progress in clearing things up with Micah?" Dahlia inquired.

Sadie furrowed her brows, the words stuck in her throat. Clear things up? Micah had used the kids to threaten her into sheer desperation and hopelessness. How could such a knot ever be unraveled? Regardless of the hidden truths, she was truly scared.

At the very least, from now on, she knew better than to cross him or defy any of his wishes.

Otherwise, the fake threat could turn real.

She couldn't afford the possible lose!

Dahlia let out a sigh, speaking earnestly, "I don't know why your misperception of Micah is so severe. Actually, he..."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Before Dahlia could finish, there was a knock at the door.

Immediately after, Brenda entered the room. "Miss, how are you feeling? How's your waist?"

"Much better," Sadie said hastily. "Brenda, please, have a seat."

"We'll step out," Dahlia said, exiting with the medical staff.

Once the door closed, Brenda pulled Sadie aside and asked anxiously, "Did that scoundrel cause your injury?"
