Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 509 The Engagement Cannot Be Called Off
Afterward, Sadie snuggled into Micah's embrace and drifted off to a peaceful sleep...
Micah gently stroked Dahlia's hair, gazing tenderly at her as she slept. Lately, she seemed perpetually exhausted, unable to replace adequate rest.
Upon his arrival, Dahlia had informed him that Sadie had been unusually tranquil that day, exhibiting no symptoms except for excessive sleepiness and frequent daydreaming, with little appetite. He thought she must be tired, scared...
He would offer her more care and warmth, to help her completely step out of the shadows.
"Male escort..." Sadie suddenly murmured drowsily, "I don't want to stay in the hospital, I want to go home."
"Alright." Micah agreed with her sentiment. Staying too long in a hospital could drive anyone stir-crazy.
"The kids are all waiting at home for you. You'll feel better once you're back," Micah said, kissing Sadie's forehead. "Sleep a little more while I make the arrangements." "Mhm." Sadie nodded with her eyes closed.
Micah got dressed and went outside to replace Andrew to make the arrangements.
Andrew had been on the phone and quickly suggested, "Perfect, the three kids called saying they wanted to come visit their mother. Should they just wait at home?" "Yes," Micah nodded, "We'll be home in an hour."
"Got it," Andrew said and hurried off to pass on the message.
On the other end of the phone, the excited cheers from the three children nearly deafened Andrew.
With a bemused smile, Andrew turned to show Micah his phone. "It's going to be quite the commotion at home."
"That's good." Micah smiled. "It'll be lively!"
"Yeah, I'll get on it right away," Andrew said, chuckling as he left.
Micah turned back to Sadie, still lying in the hospital bed, and instructed Dahlia, "Take good care of her. I'm going to check on Grandpa."
"Of course, don't worry," Dahlia nodded.
Micah went to see his grandfather and found that Nelson had come to visit again.
Silas had just accompanied Micah to visit his grandfather, and they had stepped out from the visit.
Nelson was about to say something when he saw Micah and quickly greeted him with enthusiasm, "Micah, you're here!"
"Mr. Luminex, here to see Grandpa again? That's very dedicated of you!" Micah replied politely.
"I'm heading to France tomorrow, so I wanted to come to see your grandfather today." Nelson looked intently at Micah. "Do you have a moment? Can we talk?"
"I've got to get home right after seeing Grandpa," Micah said, glancing at his watch.
"Then I won't keep you," Nelson said with a resigned smile. "I'll be off then. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye," Micah said, stepping aside to let him pass.
After Nelson left, Silas came back and frowned as he spoke, "Micah, Nelson meant no harm. Why did you reject him?"
"Some conversations, no matter how often repeated, are pointless," Micah dismissed lightly. "Once Grandpa's condition improves, I'll naturally head over to the Luminexes to settle everything." "Maybe Nelson wasn't bringing up that issue?" Silas furrowed his brow, sensing something amiss. "It felt like he had something important to say but didn't say it."
"Whatever it is, it's none of my concern, right?" Micah responded indifferently and proceeded to the isolation ward to change his clothes.
Silas sighed and said no more.
Micah's grandfather was in better condition today. When Micah entered the room, his grandfather's eyes tentatively opened, and he weakly looked at him, laboriously reaching out his hand. "Grandpa..." Micah quickly took his hand.
"You can't..." Micah's grandfather said with difficulty, "You can't... call off... the engagement."
His voice was frail, his breathing unsteady. Speaking even a single sentence left him gasping for air. However, his grip on Micah's hand remained strong, almost as if to emphasize the urgency of his message. Micah's brow was deeply furrowed-he did not want to upset his grandfather at this time, but he also did not want to submit. All he could say was, "You just focus on getting better, and we can discuss this afterward."
