NovelsFreeChapter 296 The Future Granddaughter-in-Law A sudden pinch on Sadie's thigh jolted her awake from her sleep, her body shifting as she turned her head, and Micah took the opportunity to kiss her.
Sadie tried to push him away, but a sharp pain in her back twisted her face in agony the moment she reached out.
Micah quickly let her go. "What's wrong?" "It hurts." Sadie's forehead was slick with sweat, and she froze in place, afraid to move.
Micah didn't dare touch her again and carefully turned her to maintain her position, lying on her side with her back to him.
Sadie curled up, shivering. Her silk nightgown was soon soaked with sweat.

"Dr. Rey said it would hurt tonight but get better by tomorrow." On the other end, Dahlia carefully assured, "Yes, Mr. Clemens. She has strained her back muscles. It'll be tough tonight, but much better tomorrow. If the pain's too much, she can take the painkillers I left on the nightstand..." Micah got up to fetch the painkillers for Sadie.
But Sadie shook her head, refusing them, "I just need to sleep. Turn off the lights; they're bothering my eyes." Micah set the medicine down and looked at her in her pained state. His eyes betrayed his concern, though his words were harsh. "Serves you right. Why did you have to stand in front of him?" Sadie glared at him as if flames were about to burst from her eyes.
"Glare atlike that again, I dare you," Micah snapped coldly.
Sadie turned her gaze away, her eyes filled with tears.
Upon seeing her like this, Micah's heart burned with frustration, yet he couldn't bring himself to lash out at her. He simply dressed, turned off the lights, and left.
While listening to the footsteps receding, Sadie's heart was a tangle of emotions, indescribably complex. She didn't understand what he really felt.
Saying he loved her, yet always hurting her; claiming not to care, yet obsessed with possessing and controlling her, and occasionally showing her warmth and concern... What was he even thinking? Andrew was about to knock as Micah opened the door. He paused upon seeing Micah, then quickly reported with urgency, "Mr. Clemens, your grandfather's car has entered the driveway!" Micah frowned. "What's he doing here this late?" "He's not alone. Ms. Amelia has ctoo," Andrew added.
Micah paused for a brief moment, said nothing more, and closed Sadie's door.
In the dimly lit room, Sadie's chest tightened with anxiety at the sound of the voices. Micah's granfather had arrived late in the night with Amelia. Could it be they were here for her? "Graba coat," Micah's voice demanded from outside.
"Right away!" The sound of footsteps indicated that Micah was probably greeting his grandfather with others in tow.
Restless in bed, Sadie propped herself up with her arms, feeling worry prickling at her heart as she carefully got up.
Downstairs, the sound of a car pulling up transformed the once dim villa into a beacon of light, as bright as day. The harsh light spilled onto the balcony, intensifying Sadie's unease.

Micah, accompanied by Andrew and several others, stood by the entrance to greet his grandfather.
The neatly lined-up bodyguards and staff reverently greeted him, "Welcome, Mr. Clemens Sr.!" Micah stepped forward and personally opened the car door to help his grandfather out.
On the other side, Andrew opened the passenger door, and out stepped Amelia, clad in attire thataccentuated her gentle elegance. Even her usually piercing gaze was softened by a warm smile. "Grandpa, lethelp you," offered Amelia as she moved to his side.
"Mm, good girl," Micah's grandfather said affectionately, obviously pleased with this future granddaughter-in-law. "I'm here all thanks to you." Amelia playfully chided Micah, "He never broughthere before." Micah kept silent.
Unable to resist a comment, Micah's grandfather caught Micah's eye and instructed, "Your beach house is too remote. From now on, you'll stay here."
