Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 883 Frenemies
After Dahlia left the ward, she quietly called Andrew and informed him about the situation at the hospital. Upon hearing that Nathan and the others were ill, Andrew hurried to the study to report. Micah, busy with company matters, paused upon hearing the news. "How could this happen? Are they injured?"
"No." Andrew shook his head. "Dahlia said the children are not injured, just running high fevers, likely due to a strong fright."
"Prepare the car and go to the hospital," Micah said, immediately grabbing his coat and rushing out. "Rodolfo, prepare the car."
"Yes," said Rodolfo.
At the hospital, Sadie held Little Coco in her arms, leaning against the sofa, quietly watching over the children. They were sound asleep, but their furrowed brows revealed their discomfort. Dahlia entered to check their temperatures and reported, "The fevers are under control. Everything should be fine. I've arranged the room next door for you to rest."
"No need, I'll stay here with them." Sadie glanced at her watch-it was already 4 a.m. "Give the next room to my bodyguard."
"Alright." Dahlia handed Sadie a blanket and quietly left.
Sadie draped a corner of the blanket over the just-fallen-asleep Little Coco, then propped her chin in her hand, continuing to watch Nathan and the others on the hospital bed. Watching them sleep peacefully made her feel content and peaceful inside.
She wished time could freeze, allowing her more time with them. Suddenly, a figure slipped in through the door crack. Alert, Sadie grabbed the gun on the table, stood up, and silently moved behind the door.
As the door slowly opened, a tall figure entered. Sadie aimed her gun, but in a swift move, the figure disarmed her, holding her at gunpoint.
In a split second, everything changed. When they saw each other's faces, both were stunned.
"Who are you?"
Outside, eight female bodyguards from the James family and eight male bodyguards from the Clemens family pointed guns at each other, creating a standoff. The nurse in the middle raised her hands, trembling and crying, "Please spare us." Micah released Sadie, returned her gun, and declared to the outside, "Misunderstanding, they are allies."
The Clemens family's bodyguards lowered their weapons, but the female bodyguards hesitated.
"Lower your guns," Sadie commanded sternly.
Finally, the female bodyguards complied and stepped aside. The corridor was split, with male bodyguards on one side and female bodyguards on the other, glaring at each other with animosity, ready to clash at any moment. The nurse, trembling, hurriedly left the scene. Micah closed the door.
"Why are you here?" Sadie glared at him coldly.
"To check on the children." Micah approached the bed, felt their foreheads, and noticed the fever had subsided. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you done? You can leave now," Sadie said coldly.
Ignoring her, Micah took off his coat and prepared to sit on the sofa, nearly sitting on Little Coco.
Sadie rushed over, slipped, and fell into his arms. Micah instinctively held her, his hands accidentally touching her chest.
He froze, staring at her in disbelief. Something pressed against his heart, and as he looked down, he furrowed his brow and released his hands.
