Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 498 The Needle Mark

Micah hurried to the other ward...

Four doctors and nurses were struggling to hold Sadie down as Dahlia tried to soothe her anxiously, "Miss Roth, don't be scared, it's Dahlia. You're safe now, just calm down, calm down..."

But Sadie continued to struggle and scream as if she had encountered something terribly frightening.

Micah burst into the room, bellowing, "Back off!"

The medical staff scrambled away.

Out of control, Sadie grabbed a syringe and swung it wildly, accidentally cutting her own hand.

Disregarding his own safety, Micah wrapped his arms tightly around her. The needle pierced his arm, yet he remained oblivious to the pain, comforting Sadie, "It's okay, I'm here..."

Like a feral cat in panic, Sadie kept struggling, but Micah's strength was immense, trapping her firmly so she couldn't move. Then, she bit down hard on Micah's neck, clinging fiercely like a wild animal with its prey. Blood flowed, but Micah offered no resistance, only gently stroking her hair, trying to calm her down.

The doctors and nurses were terrified, standing aside, trembling.

Finally, Sadie calmed down and passed out in Micah's arms...

Dahlia, uneasy and worried, said, "Hold on, Mr. Clemens, I'll get the needle out for you."

Micah nodded.

Dahlia clenched her teeth and carefully pulled out the needle, "Thankfully, there was no medication in it, but it must still hurt a lot."

"What the hell happened? Why did Sadie freak out like that?" Micah asked with a frown, "Is there any other harm to her?"

"I've checked her thoroughly. Aside from the wound on her back, there are marks on her wrists and ankles from being tied up. I've had a specialist in gynecology examine her, and there are no signs of assault or any other issues. I don't know why she reacted like this. Could it be an extreme fright?"

Dahlia was puzzled.

"Leave," Micah commanded.

"Yes," Dahlia replied, directing the medical staff out of the room.

Micah cradled Sadie in his arms, her peaceful slumber a stark contrast to the turmoil within him. He gently pressed a kiss to her hair, his heart heavy with self-reproach for failing to shield her from harm. The sight of her injured form pierced him deeply, stirring a well of resentment towards Nick.

He swore to himself that he would make Nick pay dearly for this.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

Andrew asked cautiously, "Mr. Clemens, those three kids have called Silas, inquiring about Miss Roth's condition. They say they won't eat or sleep, all waiting for her..."

Micah's brow furrowed upon hearing this. He had promised to bring Sadie home tonight, and the children were all looking forward to it.

But with Sadie in her current state, how could he take her home?

After a moment of thought, Micah replied, "Prepare the car, I need to go back."

"Yes."

Micah tenderly stroked Sadie's cheek and tried to smooth her disheveled hair. Noticing the bruised marks where her wrists had been bound, he felt an ache in his heart. Suddenly, he spotted the puncture marks on her wrist and immediately called out, "Someone come in!"

"Mr. Clemens," Dahlia entered the room.

"Why are there needle marks on her wrist?" Micah asked with a frown.

"Before you came in, Miss Roth had grabbed a syringe once, which I managed to take from her, though she did prick my hand as well." Dahlia showed her wrist to Micah. "Then you came in, and she pricked you as well..." "Check Sadie again," Micah still felt something was off. "Thoroughly."

"Yes." Dahlia nodded.

"Arrange for more people to take care of her. Use sedatives if necessary to prevent Sadie from hurting herself," Micah ordered. "I have to go back for a bit and will return later." "Understood, rest assured."
