"Mommy, please stay. Wait until Mia gets better before you leave," Noah pleaded, tugging at Sadie's sleeve. "What if something happens to Mia when you're not here?" "I will take you all with me," Sadie commanded with a wave of her hand.

"Stop it," Micah quickly intervened. "Mia is so sick. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Micah..."

"For the sake of the children, please stay," Micah nearly begged. "We can discuss everything else later!"

Hearing this, Ella grew anxious and gently tugged at Micah's sleeve, but he didn't respond at all.

Sadie hesitated. Although she didn't want to stay, she couldn't risk Mia's safety any further.

All she wanted now was for Mia to recover quickly. With Virgil unavailable and Hubert not yet back, she had to rely on Ella's treatment.

But if Ella made another harmful move, Mia would be in grave danger.

Mia couldn't afford any more trouble.

Thinking of this, Sadie finally relented. "Alright. I'll stay for a few days until Mia's condition stabilizes."

"That's the right decision," Micah said, overjoyed. He immediately ordered, "Andrew. Prepare a room quickly, and arrange rooms for the others as well." "Yes, sir." Andrew promptly informed Rebecca to make the arrangements.

"Daddy, you look so happy," Nathan said, looking at Micah in surprise. "You're smiling."

"Am I?" Micah quickly dropped the grin off his face.

Sadie rolled her eyes at him and said, "I want to stay with Mia alone."

"I want to stay with Mia too."

"Get out!"

"Oh."

Micah hadn't finished speaking before Sadie shouted him out of the room.

Everyone was stunned. They never expected Micah, who was usually high-and-mighty, to be so afraid of Sadie.

Ella's face turned pale and then flushed, losing all her usual composure. She had put in so much effort to barely stay by Micah's side as a doctor.

But Sadie had easily found an excuse to move into the Clemens Villa. Micah treated her like a guest of honor, making it seem like this was her home. It couldn't go on like this, or Ella's hopes of becoming "Mrs. Clemens" would be fading.

But now, not to mention making a move, even surviving here was a challenge. What should she do?

"Dr. Lingston, please." Annika gestured.

Ella had no choice but to leave with her head down, followed by the other medical staff.

With no outsiders left in the room, the children gathered around Sadie and cheered happily. "Mommy, it's great! You're finally home!"

"I'm only staying temporarily," Sadie gently explained. "Mia is sick, and I'm worried. I need to oversee her care personally. Once Mia gets better, I will..."

"We'll see about that," Nathan waved his hand and generously said. "Maybe when Mia gets better, Mommy won't want to leave."

"Yes. That's right." Noah nodded with a smile.

"I don't care. I just want Mommy to stay with me," Mia said, throwing herself into Sadie's arms and holding her tightly. "I'm not afraid when Mommy is here." "Good girl, Mia," Sadie said softly, stroking Mia's hair. "With Mommy here, no one can hurt you."

"Mommy, will you sleep in my room?" Mia nestled in Sadie's arms, unwilling to let her go. "I want to hold you every day."

"Okay." Sadie kissed her forehead. "I will sleep here."

"What about me?" Nathan asked, a bit jealous. "I want Mommy too."

"You're a man and an older brother," Noah reminded him sternly. "Are you going to compete with Mia for this?"

"No," Nathan quickly explained, "I'm not competing with Mia. I just... Never mind. I'm satisfied as long as I can see Mommy every day."

"Good boy. When Mia gets better, I will spend more time with you." Sadie gently comforted them.
