Chapter 296 The Future Granddaughter-in-Law

A sudden pinch on Sadie's thigh jolted her awake from her sleep, her body shifting as she turned her head, and Micah took the opportunity to kiss her.

Sadie tried to push him away, but a sharp pain in her back twisted her face in agony the moment she reached out.

Micah quickly let her go. "What's wrong?"
