"It's you who will die!" Micah's tone was cold and proud, as if he had control over life and death.

"W-What did you say..."

Although Micah hadn't done anything, Samuel was already panicking, his hand holding the knife trembling.

Micah narrowed his eyes, glaring at him menacingly.

Samuel hadn't reacted yet when a hand suddenly snatched the knife from his grasp. He desired to resist, but his wrist was immediately locked down. With a crisp sound, the unmistakable noise of bones breaking resonated, followed by a piercing scream that reverberated throughout the corridor. "Daring to threaten Mr. Clemens? You have some nerve!" Andrew snarled, dragging Samuel away as if dealing with a dying, struggling wild dog. Sadie's vision went black, and she fell weakly to the ground.

A pair of strong arms supported her just in time. Through her blurry sight, she saw Micah's handsome face.

"Call for a doctor!"

"Yes."

...

Sadie awoke in a daze, unsure of how long she had been asleep. She found herself lying on a comfortable bed in a room decorated in cold tones, emitting a cold and solemn feeling.

The chandelier on the ceiling bore a golden S symbol-it was Micah's emblem!

Could it be that she was in his room?

Supporting her weakened body, Sadie sat up and realized her clothes had been changed, replaced by a white robe with nothing underneath.

Her mind went blank as if a bomb had exploded.

'Oh no! Where is the chip? Has Micah already discovered it?' "You're awake?"

A gentle voice interrupted Sadie's thoughts.

Sadie looked up and saw a female doctor pushing a medical cart, taking her temperature and examining her wounds. "Fortunately, there's no sign of infection, but the wound is deep. We mustn't be careless. It needs continuous observation." "You are..." Sadie looked confusedly at her.

The female doctor smiled at her. "I am the private doctor of the Clemens family. I'm called Dahlia! Mr. Clemens asked me to take care of you. During this time, I will be responsible for your injuries."

Sadie froze, realizing how long it had been since she had experienced such respectful treatment. In a daze, she felt like she had returned to the past and transformed into the prestigious heiress she used to be. Back then, the Roth family also had a private doctor who would take care of her when she was sick.

But when Sadie saw the neatly folded security uniform on the medical cart, her wandering thoughts were immediately brought back.

"I'm just a security guard!"

Sadie wanted to get out of bed, but suddenly her neck felt a prickling pain.

Taking a sharp breath, Sadie realized that her neck was tightly wrapped and was wearing a neck brace. Her left shoulder was also firmly immobilized.

"Don't move." Dahlia hurriedly assisted her to lie down. "Although your attacker didn't injure the main artery, the wound is deep, so be careful to protect it."

"My clothes..." Sadie reached out for the security uniform.

"I had them cleaned for you." Dahlia placed the clothes by her pillow along with a transparent ziplock bag. "Your phone and the items from your pockets are here. Check if anything is missing."

At first glance, Sadie noticed the small black box and anxiously grabbed for the bag, asking nervously, "Did you... check my things?"

"Of course not." Dahlia chuckled. "You are our esteemed guest. How could we violate your privacy?"

"Then, M-Mr. Clemens... Did he..."

Sadie felt uneasy. If Micah saw the chip, he would definitely misunderstand and think she was associated with the chip-stealing criminals. That would be disastrous.

"Mr. Clemens brought you back and left," Dahlia mentioned Micah with even more reverence. "He said he would come by tonight."

"Oh..." Sadie breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, footsteps and the respectful greetings of a servant could be heard from outside. "Mr. Clemens, you're back!"
