"What's going on?" Micah immediately called Dahlia on his phone. "I'll ask Dahlia to come over."

"No need. Sadie has an upset stomach. She took medicine and needs some rest." Brenda glanced back at Sadie. "She just fell asleep. When she wakes up, I'll take her upstairs. You go ahead and take care of things." "Alright."

Micah turned around and left, but he was still worried, so he called Dahlia to come over and immediately went upstairs to be with the children.

Sadie slept in Brenda's room for over an hour before finally waking up. Upon awakening, she appeared completely fine and back to normal.

Brenda looked at her in great concern. "Miss, what kind of poison did you encounter? It's so strange."

"I don't know either." Sadie touched her face, feeling a bit cold. Her body was sticky with sweat and very uncomfortable. "I have to go back and take a shower before they finish class. Otherwise, Micah will replace out."

"Dr. Rey is here, waiting outside." Brenda said softly, "Mr. Clemens came to look for you earlier, and I told him you had an upset stomach and fell asleep here. I was hoping to send him away, but he ended up calling Dr. Rey, probably because he was worried about you."

"Okay, I'll go deal with it." Sadie walked out of the room.

Dahlia immediately approached her with a medical kit. "Miss Roth, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Sadie said, shaking her head. "Why did Micah call you? I told him it was just a slight stomachache."

"It's good that you're fine." Dahlia breathed a sigh of relief. Sadie's complexion had returned to normal, and everything seemed right again. She reached into the medical kit and withdrew a few doses of stomach medicine. "These are stomach medicine I prepared for you. You can take them when you're not feeling well."

"Thank you." Sadie took the medicine. "I'm sorry for making you come all the way here. You've worked hard!"

"It's alright. I happened to have something at the hospital today, so I went out. Normally, I'm at the clinic in the evenings." Dahlia smiled. "If you're feeling uncomfortable, feel free to replace me, don't be polite."

"Okay, thank you."

Sadie saw Dahlia off, then turned and went upstairs. She could hear the children's laughter coming from the study, and unconsciously, a smile formed on her lips.

Sadie returned to her room and headed straight for the bathroom. After sweating profusely, her hair was soaked.

Switching on the shower, Sadie suddenly found herself experiencing a nosebleed.

She felt scared and quickly covered her nose with her hand, but the nosebleed persisted despite her efforts. Turning off the shower, she hurried to the mirror to inspect her nose for injury, but found no signs of damage or pain. Yet the nosebleed persisted, sparking panic in Sadie's heart. Could this also be connected to the poisoning?

At that moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside. Micah was back, and he was walking in that direction...

Sadie immediately went over and locked the bathroom door.

Just as she locked it, the doorknob outside started to turn.

Seeing the door being locked, Micah stopped in his tracks and angrily asked Sadie, "What are you doing?"

Since they started dating, they never made a habit of locking the door. Regardless of who was in the bathroom, the other could always come in, and the door had never been locked before. Today, Sadie unexpectedly locked the door, greatly infuriating Micah!

"I'm taking a shower," Sadie said anxiously, looking up to try to stop her nosebleed.

"Why did you lock the door while showering?" Micah growled.

"I wanted to lock it," Sadie said without time to make an excuse. "Micah, go away and come back after I'm done."

Micah's face turned pale with anger, but he still walked away.

After fussing in the bathroom for a while, Sadie's nosebleed finally stopped. She cleaned up the bloodstains, hastily fixed herself, and walked out in a bathrobe.
