With a tender touch, Micah smoothed Sadie''s disheveled hair, carefully wiped the blood from her face, and cast a sorrowful nce at her wedding dress, now a grim tableau of crimson stains. A profound ache resonated within his heart.Sadie was ensconced in a deep slumber, seemingly freed from the torment of the virus.Gently, Micah traced the contour of her cheek with his fingers, his thumb brushing lightly against her lips. He found it difficult to tear his gaze away from her. His affection for her was boundless, his desire to envelop her in happiness and joy, insatiable.He had scaled countless hurdles to stand beside her in the wedding hall. Yet, unexpectedly, a formidable array of challenges had emerged, casting a shadow over their path forward. If he insisted on confronting these obstacles head-on, countless lives, including Sadie''s, could be caught in the crossfire. Thus, Micah found himselfpelled to halt his advance, if only temporarily, to seek an alternate course of action.Suddenly, a knock echoed from the other side of the door, followed by Ss''s voice, "Micah, we''reing in."The door swung open, revealing Ss, who ushered Mr. Clemens Senior into the room. They were trailed by an entourage of elite bodyguards from the Clemens family, and Nick, who was under arrest. "Have you thought it through?" Mr. Clemens Senior inquired coldly. In response, Micah wordlessly removed his jacket and draped it over Sadie. "You still can''t bear to let go?" Mr. Clemens Senior cast a nce at the unconscious Sadie, his toneced with a hint of generosity. "If things continue in this vein, she''ll perish without my lifting a finger!"Micah''s reaction to these words was swift. He swiveled his head to fix a cold stare on Nick. "Hand over the antidote.""Who do you think you are?" Nick retorted with a scoff. "Even when your father was alive, he wouldn''t dare address me in such a manner."In a fit of rage, Micah mmed his fist into the coffee table. The impact sent the table splintering into fragments. The sudden outburst left everyone in the room stunned, Nick included.Micah swiftly grabbed a fruit knife from the remnants of the coffee table and held it to Nick''s throat. "Either you die, or you hand over the antidote!" he threatened."Ha!" Nick merely raised an eyebrow and chuckled, his demeanor unfazed."Damn it!!!" Mr. Clemens Senior roared in anger. "Micah, put the knife down!"Ignoring themand, Micah pressed the knife further, causing a thin line of blood to trickle down Nick''s neck."Do you really think injuring me willpel me to hand over the antidote?" Nick remainedposed. "When has anyone from the Clemens family ever feared death?""If you''refortable with this woman dying here, make your move," Mr. Clemens Senior gestured, and instantly, a bodyguard aimed his gun at Sadie."Do you dare??" Micah growled, his teeth clenched."You dare to threaten your aunt with a knife; let''s see if I dare!" Mr. Clemens Senior retorted confidently. "Put the knife down now, and we can still negotiate. Otherwise," He pointed his cane at Sadie. "I will send her to hell right now!"As he finished his threat, the bodyguard pulled the trigger.With a grimace, Micah reluctantly lowered the knife.Nick erupted into gleefulughter. "Father, I always thought you didn''t love me, but it seems that''s not the case."Enough nonsense," Mr. Clemens Senior extended his hand towards Nick. "Hand over the antidote!""Why would you also want to save this woman?" Nick was shocked. "Her mother was the one who killed my older brother and sister-inw.""I told you to hand over the antidote; don''t make me repeat myself." Mr. Clemens Senior dismissed Nick''s objections, his tone growing more authoritative."Why do you always protect him?" Nick challenged. "He injured my son and sabotaged mypany. You haven''t said a word, and now you want me to give the antidote to the daughter of my enemy?""If you hand over the antidote, I will ensure he ceases his attacks on yourpany, and I will also grant your son five percent of the Clemens Group''s shares," Mr. Clemens Senior proposed as a condition. "Now, are you satisfied?"Upon hearing this, Nick paused for a moment, then broke into a broad smile. "Father, you should have said so earlier. We''re family, after all, and should be harmonious."With that, Nick produced a small bottle and handed it to Mr. Clemens Senior.
