StartNovelChapter 1387 Waking Up
Micah slept fitfully throughout the day, waking up now and then to ask about the tand check on the kids and
Sadie.
Every the was told they were okay, he'd drift back to sleep. He wasn't hungry at all, just sipping swater
to take his meds.
Around nine in the evening, he woke up again. "Is Sadie back yet?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper.
Andrew, always the picture of calm, replied, "Annika said they'll be at Mount Avalis for two more days. Ms. James
was worried about you, but | told her you were fine and getting better." "Don't tell her about my condition,"
Micah ordered right away.
"Got it," Andrew nodded repeatedly. He knew this would stop Micah from asking more questions. Truth was,
Micah was too sick to be his usual sharp self. Otherwise, Andrew wouldn't have been able to fool him. "Stop

"Will do, you can rest easy," Andrew said, tucking him in.
Micah fell asleep again. He'd been out for over twenty hours and still looked beat.
But his condition was slowly getting better, showing that Gabriella's surgery had worked.
Andrew hadn't slept for a day and two nights. Others told him to rest, but he couldn't relax and insisted on
watching over Micah himself.
Every two hours, he checked in with Oliver and the others about Sadie and Annika, but they were still searching
with no news.
Andrew sent more people to Avalis to look for them. At this point, nothing could happen to them.
The next morning, Micah woke up feeling a lot better. Opening his eyes, he immediately said he was hungry and
wanted Rebecca's homemade pasta. Overjoyed, Andrew quickly called Rebecca to the kitchen. Rebecca, who
hadn't slept well worrying about Micah, was moved to tears when she heard he was asking for food. She rushed
to the kitchen, eager to cook for him.
Andrew helped Micah sit up. As he stretched, Micah sighed, "I feel like I've slept forever. My bones are aching."
"You've been out for a day and two nights," Andrew said with a smile. "But now you're fine. You look much
better."
"Yeah, | feel full of energy," Micah said, rubbing his eyes. "Runa bath, | need a good soak. | feel all grimy."
"Right away," Andrew responded, heading to the bathroom to get it ready.
Micah reached under his pillow for his phone and checked his calls and messages. There were only concerned
messages from Olivia and nothing from Sadie. He felt a bit disappointed but quickly reminded himself that this
was typical of Sadie, so he didn't hold it against her. He decided to call Sadie, but her phone was off. He thought,
‘Maybe she's on the plane back? That's why her phone is off?"

"Mr. Clemens, the bath is ready," Andrew said, coming out of the bathroom, ready to help him.
Micah asked casually, "Did Annika call you?"
Andrew, sticking to his story, said, "Yeah, they called. They're still in the mountains."
But as the lie left his mouth, he saw a change in Micah's expression. "Mr. Clemens, I..."
"Bastard!" Micah kicked him to the ground with surprising force. He snapped, "How dare you lie to me?" Now
fully awake and clear-headed, Micah wasn't so easily fooled.
Andrew hesitated. "Mr. Clemens, I..."
"Tellthe truth!" Micah demanded, pointing at him like an enraged lion.
Andrew, thoroughly intimidated, couldn't lie anymore. "Ms. James... she went missing the night before last."
