"Why are you heading to Mount Avalis?" Noah asked, looking confused, his brow all scrunched up. "Hubert''s already gone."


    Sadie sighed, "I was thinking, maybe Hubert''s ce on Mount Avalis has some records about the antidote. Plus, Pa and the others know some medical stuff. I want to ask them toe and help your dad, to stabilize him for now." She paused, then continued, "Even if they can''t cure him, they can handle any emergencies. It''s better than just sitting around waiting for the worst."


    Noah nodded. "Alright, Mom, you should go then. Don''t worry, I''ll handle things here."


    Sadie hugged him tight. "I''ll talk to your dad about it tonight. Now, be good, finish your dessert before you get busy, and don''t overdo it. I''m heading downstairs."


    "Okay, Mom," Noah replied, his voice steady.


    As soon as Sadie went downstairs, Micah walked in. He was immediately swarmed by a bunch of little girls, their eyes lighting up at the sight of the yummy snacks and pretty dolls he brought. "Wow, so pretty!" the three little girls squealed with joy. "Uncle Micah, are these for us?"


    "Yep, little gifts for you. Wee to my home," Micah said warmly, bending down to gently pat their heads.


    "Thank you, Uncle Micah!" they chorused, grinning up at him.


    "Mia, Nathan, you guys pick something too, see if there''s anything you like to eat," Micah called out to Nathan and Mia.


    "No thanks, I''m a boy. I don''t y with girls'' toys, and I don''t like snacks," Nathan dered, puffing out his chest proudly. Micahughed. "I''ll y ser with you tonight."


    "Awesome!" Nathan nodded eagerly.


    "No way!" Sadie''s voice rang out, firm and authoritative. "Your dad has to be with me tonight. Nathan, be good and y with Rodolfo."


    "Alright, being with Mom is important," Nathan said understandingly, winking at Micah. "Dad, take good care of Mom."


    Micah chuckled, pinching Nathan''s cheek affectionately.


    These past few days had been the happiest Micah had ever known, with everything filling him with a sense of joy and warmth.


    Seeing him so happy, Sadie couldn''t help but feel a pang of sadness.


    She always felt that he was finding joy in hardship. His time was running out day by day, and if this continued, she feared she would lose him forever.


    "What''s wrong?" Micah turned around and saw Sadie''s worried look. He affectionately pinched her cheek. "Didn''t buy you a toy, so you''re unhappy?" he teased. Sadie shyly smiled and habitually held his arm. "Why did youe back so early today?"


    "I missed you," Micah replied, leaning in to kiss her.


    "Oh, that''s so mushy," Mia eximed, covering her eyes and running away.


    Nathanughed, running out to y.


    "In front of the kids...," Sadie began, but Micah kissed her deeply, cutting her off.


    Micah held her waist with one hand and cupped her face with the other, kissing her deeply.


    But the kiss onlysted a few seconds. In the living room, with so many people watching, she was too nervous to breathe.


    "Let''s go to the room," Micah whispered seductively, biting her earlobe gently. "I have something to tell you."


    "Okay," Sadie nodded with a flushed face. "I also have something to tell you."


    The two held hands, fingers interlocked, and went upstairs together. The servants and bodyguards saw them and were very envious, but also happy for them. Back in the room, Micah took out a stack of documents, handed her a pen, and directly ordered, "Sign it."


    "What is this?" Sadie asked, trying to take a look.


    But Micah pressed his hand on the papers and urged, "Sign it quickly!"
