It waste at night, and Half Mountain Vi was finally settling down.
The wedding venue for tomorrow was all set up, with a festive vibe in the air.
The servants had gone to bed, gearing up for the big day ahead.
The bodyguards were switching shifts.
Annika and Arya were taking the three sleeping girls back to Hillside Vi.
Sadie reluctantly said goodbye to Micah, "I''m heading back now."
"Go ahead, we''ll see each other first thing in the morning," Micah said softly, looking at her. "It''s just a few hours."
"But I don''t wanna leave you."
Sadie clung to his waist, not wanting to let go. She felt a bit anxious, like something was off.
"Then stay here and sleep," Micah said, ruffling her messy hair.
Sadie blushed a little, "No, we gotta stick to tradition. You have toe to Hillside Vi to pick me up in the morning."
Micah chuckled, "We''re all family anyway, why make it soplicated?"
"You''re so annoying!" Sadie yfully punched his chest.
"Alright, go on. The kids are already asleep," Micah said, pinching Sadie''s cheek and
pointing to the three little girls being carried by Annika and Arya.
"It''s getting cold, and they''ll catch a chill if you wait any longer."
"Okay, I''ll go now."
Sadie reluctantly hugged Micah, then went to find Noah, Nathan, and Mia.
Reba had said they couldn''t stay awake and had already gone to bed.
Sadie had to leave first. After all, Micah woulde to pick her up early in the morning, and the family would be reunited soon.
Micah saw them off to the car, instructing Rodolfo and Oliver to keep a good watch over them.
After the Hillside Vi convoy left, Micah was about to go back inside to rest.
As he turned, he suddenly felt dizzy, his body going limp as if his bones had been removed.
He quickly grabbed the wall to keep himself from falling.

"Mr. Clemens!" Andrew rushed over to support him. "Are you alright?"
"Help me inside," Micah didn''t want anyone to see him weak.
"Yes, sir." Andrew tried to help Micah inside, but as soon as Micah took a step, he lost his bnce and copsed to the ground.
"Mr. Clemens!"
Rn hurried over and, with Andrew, managed to get Micah into the house.
"I''ll call Dahlia right away."
Andrew took out his phone, ready to make the call, but Micah raised his hand, signaling him to stop.
"But your condition is very dangerous."
"It''s no use," Micah weakly murmured.
Andrew felt a pang of sorrow, unable to speak, his heart heavy with sadness.
Rn clenched his fists, frustrated by his own helplessness.

"Mr. Clemens, I''m here."
Rn stepped forward, kneeling by the bed to listen to Micah''s instructions.
"Take some men to Hillside Vi and keep watch," Micah''s breath was growing weaker, but he didn''t forget to give orders. "Nothing can go wrong."
"Yes, I''ll go right away."
Rn understood. Two and a half years ago, an incident at the wedding had caused Sadie great pain. Micah didn''t want history to repeat itself.
He wanted to give Sadie a perfect wedding before he died.
So, he had deployed arge number of people to Hillside Vi to protect Sadie.
"Go on, I''ll stay here," Andrew said, crouching by the bed to continue listening to Micah''s instructions. "Mr. Clemens, is there anything else?"
"Ryan, Ss, they need protection," Micah was barely coherent, but still worried.
"They''re the guardians of the Clemens Group. If something happens to them, Sadie and the kids won''t stand a chance!"
"I understand. I''ve already sent Oliver and Ethan to handle it," Andrew reassured him. "Don''t worry, everything''s taken care of."
