novelxo Chapter 1018 A Key Figure
"Sorry."
Arya quickly led them out and shut the door.
After a while, Sadie finally calmed down, collapsed on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Micah looked at his hand. A chunk of flesh was barely hanging on, and blood had soaked half the blanket. Looking at the sleeping Sadie, he felt she was really heartless.
But at least she didn't hurt herself.
Micah endured the pain, walked to the door, and said quietly, "Bring the first aid kit."
"Your hand..." Arya gasped when she saw Micah's bloody hand.
"The first aid kit, now." Arya urgently ordered her subordinates.
"Yes!"
"Your injury is too severe for just some medicine." Hubert's voice came through.
"Dr. Henry, sorry to bother you," Micah apologized. "It's just a minor injury. I'll be fine. You should go back to rest."
"It needs immediate attention," Hubert said with a frown. "The thunder has stopped now. She will be fine. Come with me to the medical room."
"She bit her lips. Treat her first." Micah was still thinking about Sadie.
"Don't worry." Hubert's gaze was appreciative. "Let Paula handle it. You come with me."
"But..." Micah was still uneasy.
"Leave it to me." Paula came in with the first aid kit, and Arya followed to help.
Micah had no choice but to go downstairs with Hubert.
Hubert stitched up Micah's wound.
Throughout the process, Micah only frowned slightly and didn't make a sound.
"Doesn't it hurt?" Hubert glanced at him.
"I'm fine," Micah asked in a low voice. "Dr. Henry, can you tell me when Sadie will fully recover?"
"It would take about three months with uninterrupted treatment," Hubert squinted as he applied medicine. "Her treatment cannot be interrupted. If it is, there will be no chance of recovery." "Then you must take good care of yourself," Micah blurted out.
Hubert laughed heartily. "Micah, you're straightforward."
"Yeah." Micah smiled sheepishly, then sighed. "If you hadn't had that car accident two years ago, everything would be different."
"Are you saying I'm the key to the whole situation?" Hubert was curious.
"Yes." Micah smiled bitterly. "If you hadn't had that car accident, our wedding wouldn't have been canceled, she wouldn't have been sent to Country H, and she wouldn't have endured all those hardships. Brenda wouldn't have died either." Hearing this, Hubert's expression became serious. "Paula told me some things about that. On the wedding day, Sadie's condition relapsed severely. Later, your family canceled the wedding, kept the child, and sent her and Brenda far away." At this, Hubert sighed deeply. "At that time, everyone thought your family was heartless, but I always felt something was off. If you just wanted the child, you could have done it long ago. Why go through the trouble of holding a wedding and making it public?
"But I couldn't understand why Sadie and Brenda were sent away. Later, when the news showed the wedding with a different bride, it confirmed your family's heartlessness. So when I woke up, I quickly left with Paula and Percy.
"I thought your family was dangerous and didn't want any further involvement. When you came to find me, I ignored you until that young man found me again, showed me a video, and told me Sadie was still alive. That's when I wavered. "However, this period of interaction has given me a new understanding of you. I don't think you're a heartless person."
