Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 708 Not to Be Eaten by Me

"Are you alright?" Micah's voice cut through the tension as he moved to assist Sadie. She was still reeling from the unexpected incident, her face a mask of confusion and concern. "Coco is usually very well-behaved; it has never been like this before," Sadie frowned and said, "It must be your presence that startled him."

Micah looked at her, disbelief etched on his face. "I save you from harm, and you respond with accusations? What kind of twisted logic is that?"

Sadie's face contorted with anger. "Had you not been here, none of this would have happened!"

Micah was momentarily taken aback by her outburst but quickly regained his composure. He moved closer to inspect the scene, swiftly identifying the cause of the issue.

"This is a Highland Harrier, a notoriously aggressive breed of eagle," he explained. "Despite its seemingly docile demeanor, the sight of human blood triggers its predatory instincts."

Sadie's eyes widened in realization. "Yes, my brother warned me about exposing it to human blood," she said, a note of regret in her voice. "It must have tasted your blood when it pecked you, causing it to go berserk."

Micah shot her a pointed look. "Had I not intervened, you could have lost an eye. Go home and tend to your wound. Make sure it doesn't get infected." With that, he turned on his heel and walked away. Sadie looked down at her hand, her heart sinking as she noticed the deep scratches left by Coco.

"Miss James!" Annika rushed over, her face filled with concern. "Are you alright?"

"I need to take Coco home," Sadie replied. As she spoke, the sound of a car echoed in the distance, signaling Micah's departure.

Inside the car, Micah found his gaze lingering on Sadie. He was worried about her, but he kept his feelings in check, knowing that some things required patience.

"Miss James certainly has a fiery temper," Andrew remarked, breaking the silence. "You went out of your way to help her, and she repaid you with accusations."

Alan chimed in, "She's nothing like Miss Roth. The old Sadie was much gentler."

Micah couldn't help but smile at the memory of Sadie's tantrums. "Her fiery spirit remains the same, though," he said, a hint of fondness in his voice. Suddenly, he instructed the driver to slow down. Meanwhile, Sadie and her companions were also on their way to the hot spring villa.

The jungle road was a complex maze, and they relied heavily on the signal for navigation.

Arya, who was driving, was on the verge of losing her bearings when she spotted the Clemens family's car ahead. They followed it and managed to navigate their way out of the jungle.

Back at the hot spring hotel, Micah was freshening up when his phone rang. "It's two in the morning. Why aren't you resting?" he answered, his tone laced with irritation.

"Ella's had an accident. You need to come to the hospital immediately," came the urgent voice of Mr. Clemens Senior.

Micah's heart skipped a beat. "What happened?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.

"She was in a car accident and is currently in the ER," Mr. Clemens Senior replied, his voice shaking with anxiety. "She's been waiting for you all night. The accident happened on her way home, and we, the Clemens family, are responsible. Please hurry."

"Okay," Micah responded curtly, ending the call. He quickly instructed Andrew to prepare the car for the hospital trip.

As Micah was heading downstairs, he crossed paths with Sadie and her group, who were also preparing to leave.

"Mr. Clemens, what a coincidence," Sadie greeted him, her voice light. She was dressed in a comfortable long dress, her hair cascading down her back, giving her an approachable aura. "Leaving so soon, troublemaker?" Micah teased, a playful glint in his eyes.

Sadie raised an eyebrow and flashed him a smile. "There's a wild beast living next door. How can I sleep? It's better to leave early."

Micah leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. "So, you do know I'm a wild beast," he said, his lips brushing against her cheek. "Be careful, or I might just devour you!"
