Without a moment''s hesitation, Micah swiftly procured the antidote and administered it to Sadie. Nick, his smirk as cold as ice, retorted, "This is merely a fraction of the antidote. The remainder will be delivered once mypany is restored to its former glory and the shares are appropriately allocated.""The antidote is segmented?" Micah''s brow creased in confusion."Ten vials," Nick sneered, his voice dripping with condescension, "to be consumed in ten separate doses, my dutiful nephew."Micah''s fury surged like a tempest, his fist itching to collide with Nick''s smug face. But Ss, his grip irond, restrained him. "Compose yourself, Micah! Nick has pledged to surrender the antidote. She won''t renege on her promise, not with Sir present. Trust in me."Deliver the remaining antidote, and I will transfer the shares immediately." At Mr. Clemens Senior''s signal, the bodyguards relinquished their hold on Nick."Truly?" Nick''s voice wavered, a hint of fear creeping in at the mention of Mr. Clemens Senior."When have I ever reneged on a promise?" Mr. Clemens Senior''s tone was as icy as a winter''s night."Very well, I''ll have it brought over immediately..." Nick retrieved his phone and retreated to a corner to make the call."Now, are you aware of your next course of action?" Mr. Clemens Senior turned his gaze to Micah. "Administer the antidote, send her away, and all will be well. Don''t let obsession cloud your judgment!"Micah''s gaze lingered on Sadie. He understood that he was cornered, left with no other alternative. Given the circumstances, he was forced to make a temporary concession."Agreed, I willply!" Micah finally conceded. "But I will personally oversee it; there''s no need for an intermediary.""Very well," Mr. Clemens Senior acquiesced readily. "Regardless of your actions, you cannot evade my vignt scrutiny."Their exchange was cryptic, iprehensible to outsiders, yet Ss grasped the underlying implications. Micah insisted on personally overseeing the matter, fearing that Mr. Clemens Senior would covertly orchestrate Sadie''s demise once she was out of sight. Mr. Clemens Senior''s words were a veiled threat. He would permit Micah to handle the situation, but if Micah attempted any subterfuge, such as pretending to send Sadie away while secretly harboring her, he would not be fooled. In their terse conversation, the grandfather and grandson were subtly warning each other!"Miss Roth is regaining consciousness!" Andrew''s sudden exmation broke the tense silence.Micah swiveled his head to see Sadie''s fingers twitch. Her face was contorted in pain, signaling her imminent awakening."Don''t dawdle. Resolve this swiftly before the children be aware!" With this final admonition, Mr. Clemens Senior departed, his entourage, including Nick, trailing behind him. Andrew promptly ushered everyone out and stationed himself at the door.Micah cradled Sadie in his arms, his voiceced with urgency, "Sadie, how do you feel?"Sadie''s eyes fluttered open, her vision blurry. "What transpired?""Nothing of consequence. You merely dozed off," Micah reassured her, his embrace so tight it bordered on suffocating. Micah yearned to hold her like this indefinitely, to never release her. In doing so, Sadie would never leave him.Feeling constricted, Sadie squirmed ufortably. Micah immediately loosened his grip and gently patted her back. "I was overly forceful.""Yes," Sadie managed a weak smile. "It''s alright, I''ve grown ustomed to it.""Fool!" Micah''s lips twitched, an attempt at a smile that failed, rendering his expression grotesque."What''s troubling you?" Sadie''s hand tenderly caressed his handsome face. "We''re wedded, shouldn''t you be happy?" "Yes," Micah pressed his lips to her hand, the one adorned with the wedding ring. "My wife!""My husband!" Sadie reciprocated softly."Good girl!" Micah lifted his left hand. "Look, I have already put on the ring. We are now husband and wife!""When did you put it on?" Sadie''s eyes widened in surprise. "Shouldn''t I have been the one to do so?"With that, Sadie forcefully removed the ring and slid it back onto his finger.
