Micah looked in the direction from which the vehicles were coming, waiting for Nick's arrival.

Although he appeared calm on the outside, he was extremely anxious inside.

Andrew didn't dare speak, silently standing by with his bodyguards.

Dahlia hurried over, accompanied by a few female medical staff waiting on standby.

One minute... Two minutes... Five minutes... Ten minutes passed...

Nick's motorcade still hadn't arrived.

Micah checked his watch again—it was 7:00 p.m., and his brow furrowed. Once again, he looked toward the highway. Cars were passing by, but none belonged to Nick's motorcade. What game was he playing?

Micah pulled out his cell phone, ready to call Rylan.

Just then, Andrew whispered urgently, "They're here!"

Micah looked up to see a proud procession of Hummers rolling slowly towards them...

Andrew gestured, and his bodyguards instantly tensed, ready for action.

Micah squinted, his gaze fixed coldly on the central Hummer until it came to a halt.

Nick's men got out of their vehicles and lined up in two neat rows, mirroring the defensive stance of Micah's own team.

There was a standoff between the two sides!

A few female bodyguards stepped out and opened the door of the main car. A pair of slender legs emerged, exuding a chill charisma typical of the Clemens family, pressing in. "Long time no see, my dear nephew!" Nick removed his sunglasses, his lips curling into a cold smile.

"Where is she?" Micah didn't want to waste words he just wanted to see Sadie right away.

With a smirk, Nick made a sign, and Selina opened the car door.

Sadie, dressed in a white gown, lay quietly on the back seat, deep in slumber.

Dahlia immediately led her team forward to lift Sadie onto a medical stretcher and wheeled her to Micah's side.

Micah frowned upon seeing Sadie. Her complexion appeared pale, her body weakened, conveying a sense of fragility as though she had endured much...

Micah felt a tight grip on his heart but still feigned composure. "Check her.”

"Right away." Dahlia quickly directed the medical team to push Sadie in for examination.

Andrew gave a signal, and several bodyguards promptly followed.

“Just a few lashes, and you make such a big deal?" Nick's lips twisted into a mocking smile.

"You better not play any tricks with me." Micah glared at him menacingly.

"You talk like that to your uncle, for a woman?" Nick raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Are you trying to be a Romeo like your father?"

"What's it to you?" Micah's brows knit together.

"Okay." Nick spread his hands and said no more, "Can you take me to see your grandfather now?"

Without a word, Micah turned and walked into the hospital.

Nick followed him. When his bodyguards started to enter, Andrew and his men stopped them.

"Sorry, Mr. Clemens," Andrew said politely but firmly, "You may only bring one attendant.”

"You've become quite bold, standing up to me!"

Nick shot him a cold glare and signaled.

His entourage stepped back, leaving only Selina to accompany Nick inside.

"Grandpa can't be agitated, so watch what you say," Micah warned coldly.

"He's my father." Nick scoffed. "Why would I want to harm him?”

"It's not that clear," Micah replied without gratitude. "How many times did you infuriate Grandpa over the years?"

"It was because Father was too biased," Nick retorted with dissatisfaction. "He left everything to your dad, and after your dad passed away, it all became yours. I've been working tirelessly for the Clemens family, yet in the end, I received nothing. Naturally, I'm not pleased with the outcome.

"You've gotten more than enough. You need to learn to be content!"

Micah didn't respond. Truth be told, he didn't agree with the favoritism either.

Indeed, Micah's grandfather had left most of his assets to Micah, the heir, but he hadn't left Nick with nothing. Otherwise, Nick wouldn't have been able to expand the business so considerably.
