"Micah" watched helplessly as Reba and the others took his things away, gritting his teeth in anger. He red at Sadie, "You heartless woman!"


    "I''m just thinking about your health," Sadie replied, frowning at the untouched bowl of butternut squash soup on the table. "If you don''t eat, you''ll have nothing else."


    "I won''t eat," Micah said stubbornly, turning his head away.


    "Alright, hurry up and change your shoes. We''re going to the back cottage," Sadie urged. "Pa and Percy are waiting for you."


    Micah frowned deeply. "Do I really have to go?"


    "You don''t have to," Sadie said, sounding amodating. "If you don''t want traditional treatment, you can go to Dahlia''s ce for a full check-up and modern medical treatment."


    Before she finished speaking, Micah was already putting on his shoes. "Traditional medicine is the essence of our cultural heritage. We should trust it."


    "That''s the spirit."


    Sadie smiled and led him to the back cottage, giving instructions to the household staff along the way.


    "Starting today, Micah will resume treatment. Everyone needs to supervise him closely. No alcohol, no junk food, and he can''t leave without permission. Any orders he gives must be approved by me first. Report to me immediately if anything happens!" "Yes, Mrs. Clemens!"


    Everyone obeyed Sadie as if she were the master of the house.


    "Micah" was stunned by this scene, his face full of bewilderment.


    He felt like he was in the wrong ce, as if this wasn''t the Clemens Family''s territory but the James Family''s territory.


    "Stop staring. This is Hillside Vi," Sadie said, seemingly knowing what he was thinking. "Even though most of the people here are yours, they listen to me."


    "Micah" had nothing to say, his eyes turning mncholic, as if he sensed impending doom.

    Pa and Percy had already poured the prepared medicinal concoction into a wooden tub and set up other treatment equipment.


    Sadie led Micah inside, and the two hurried over to greet him. "Micah, it''s so good to see you''re okay. We were worried sick."


    "I''m fine, thanks for your concern," Micah responded politely.


    "Micah, you look much better than before. Your spirits seem high," Pa observed, finding it odd. "You don''t look sick at all."


    "Yeah, and it seems like your nose..."


    "Alright, alright," Sadie interrupted Percy, changing the subject. "He survived a near- death experience and looks better than before. But the toxins in his body haven''t been cleared, so we''re here to seek your help."


    "Mr. Henry''s previous treatment n worked well for me. Let''s use the same n for him. Let''s get started."


    "Got it, Sadie," Pa replied and called out, "Everyone,e in."

    "Yes." Several burly men rolled up their sleeves and approached Micah slowly. "Mr. Clemens, would you like to undress yourself, or should we help you?"


    "What?" Micah frowned. "Undress?"


    "Yes, undress," Pa replied cheerfully. "Then soak in the medicinal tub for an hour. Percy will perform bloodletting to detoxify you."


    "Bloodletting?" Micah''s eyes widened in shock.


    "Yes, exactly."


    Percy took out a toolkit and opened it to show him. Inside were 72 silver needles, each thicker and longer than thest.


    "We''ll insert all of these into your body to let the toxic blood out. Once a day, for eighty-one days, and you''ll see results."


    Micah''s face turned pale with fear. He looked at Sadie in disbelief. "Sadie, you''re ruthless!"
