"Yeah." Sadie nodded earnestly. "I'm sorry, Brenda, I should have told you sooner..."

Brenda sighed. "Everyone has their choices, especially in matters of the heart. I can't interfere with who you like or want to be with. I just hope Micah treats you and the kids well, but..." Brenda opened her mouth to speak but hesitated.

"Brenda, what are you trying to say?" Sadie knew there was more to Brenda's concern

"Miss, I'm worried. With a family as large as the Clemens', will Micah accept that you have children?" Brenda frowned deeply. "Does Micah really not mind?"

"Micah doesn't mind..." Sadie was certain. "Because the kids are his."

"What?!" Brenda was astonished, "For real? You're not messing with me? The father isn't that guy from the nightclub back then...?"

"It was Micah," Sadie admitted with some difficulty, but she proceeded to tell Brenda the whole story. "Four years ago, I was drugged by Leah, and unexpectedly, it brought Micah and me together..."

After finishing her recount, Sadie added, "Actually, I've known who Micah was for a while now, but I thought he was too unpredictable to be a good father. I also feared the Clemens family, with their vast influence, might take my children away from me, so I kept it a secret and didn't dare let Micah know.

"I never imagined that this time, due to an accident, he would have Noah's DNA tested and discover the truth. Afterward, he did so much for the children, and I was truly touched..."

"Well, that explains a lot." Brenda sighed deeply, filled with emotion. "I was wondering why our family always seemed tied to Micah, like we couldn't shake him off. Turns out fate had it planned all along."

"To be honest, I had many concerns before," Sadie said with a bitter smile. "I even considered waiting until you and Nathan were better before taking the family away from Newark to start anew in a strange place. Yet so much has happened... Maybe, this is all destiny."

"Now that you and Micah have reconciled, stop worrying," Brenda consoled her, "How do the kids feel about Micah now? They didn't have the best impression of him before."

"They're getting along quite well now; there's been a lot of progress." Sadie beamed at the thought. "I didn't expect Micah to be so patient with the kids. He's really put in an effort to bond with them."

"That's what matters." Brenda nodded in relief. "Look at Micah, setting up a medical room at home, even moving me here—it shows he truly cares about you and the kids.

"On the way here, I overheard some of the medical staff chatting about the cost of the equipment. They mentioned it's already cost millions because they needed it urgently, so they had it brought directly from a hospital. Dahlia handled all the customized orders from abroad..."

"Micah did all that without telling me," Sadie said, feeling a mix of appreciation and guilt. "I bet he got Andrew to find Serena just to be here for me."

"Micah being so devoted shows that he truly acknowledges you as family." Brenda smiled, but then her expression turned to concern. "But will his family agree? These old-money families often have so many rules."

Sadie thought of Micah's grandfather and her worries returned. He hadn't liked her before, and it wasn't certain he would accept her in the future.

"But no matter," Brenda patted Sadie's hand with a reassuring smile. "I've been in the hospital for two months. My body's gone stiff, but now I'm finally getting discharged. From here on out, leave the cooking to me. I'll make delicious meals fo us every day."

As Brenda rolled up her sleeves and prepared to head downstairs, Sadie swiftly grabbed her, showing concern.

"Brenda, you just got out of the hospital. You should really rest," Sadie implored.

"Oh, Sadie, you know I just feel out of sorts if I sit around doing nothing. Let me do some chores. That's when I feel my best. Besides, the children love the food I make. I haven't cooked for them in so long. Please, let me do it today." "Fine..."
