"Why not?" Brenda was almost in tears. "You have to tell him so Mr. Clemens can arrange the best treatment for you. Besides, you are family and should be open with each other. You can't keep this from him."

"The other doctors in the market are academics. Those famous ones might not necessarily be good." Sadie gasped. "I remember my father used to have a friend who was an exceptionally skilled doctor. But he moved away. We could try to replace him. Maybe he can help..."

"Yes, yes, I remember him, Dr. Henry Walton." Brenda nodded repeatedly. "I'll go inquire right away."

"Don't inquire. You'll expose yourself if you do," Sadie said. "I'll ask Jonathan to look into it. If there's any news, he'll let us know. But I think I should temporarily move out to avoid exposing that I've been poisoned." "Why are you keeping it from Mr. Clemens?" Brenda needed help understanding.

"The toxicity of this poison is extremely severe, and we don't even know if it can be cured." Sadie smiled bitterly. "In case it can't be cured... I can quietly leave, sparing the children from the pain of facing my death. Isn't that better? "When my father had an accident, my world was about to collapse. If it weren't for the children, I wouldn't have been able to hold on. I don't want them to experience the same pain again...

"The children finally have a happy home, a safe harbor, an environment where they can grow freely. I don't want to see them sad and upset again."

"Ah..." Brenda sighed deeply.

"And besides, Micah has his own challenges. Today, he didn't take me to meet Grandpa Clemens, probably because he didn't want to upset him. If Micah's grandfather were to replace out that I'm the mother of his grandchildren, he definitely wouldn't agree to let me in.

"I'll leave for a while so we can give each other some space. Micah can take care of things at home, and I can focus on my treatment. If, after some time, I recover and he convinces his grandfather, that would be a wonderful outcome..." After saying these words, Sadie was exhausted. "Brenda, I didn't want to worry you, but I need your help to leave."

"Silly child, no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side to protect and take care of you," Brenda said, wiping away her tears.

"Thank you, Brenda..." Sadie's eyelids felt heavy. "I'll take a nap and go out when I feel better."

"Alright, sleep peacefully. I'll be here watching over you."

Brenda covered her with a blanket, touched her cold forehead, and continued wiping her body with a warm towel.

Looking at Sadie's condition, Brenda truly felt heartbroken.

...

"Where's Mommy?" The children returned home after playing, sweating profusely. They couldn't spot their mother anywhere. Immediately, they began to search around with their short legs. "Your mother should be in Brenda's room," a maid said. "Mr. Nathan, Mr. Noah, and Miss Mia, should I go get her?"

"Yes. "

"No need," Noah interrupted Mia. With maturity, he said, "Mommy is talking to Brenda about something. Let's not disturb them and go to class first."

"Okay, okay, let's go to class." The three children loved going to class with Micah.

"You guys go up and wait for me." Micah wanted to check on Sadie.

"Okay, Daddy."

The three children climbed the stairs with their short legs.

The three caregivers followed beside them, afraid they might fall.

Micah arrived outside Brenda's room and knocked gently on the door.

"Who is it?" Brenda asked from inside.

"It's me," Micah politely said. "Is Sadie here with you?"

"Uh, she's..." Brenda was a little flustered. She hurried over and opened the door slightly. "She has an upset stomach, took some medicine, and is resting."
