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?"

"It hurts." Sadie's forehead was slick with sweat, and she froze in place, afraid to move.

Micah didn't dare touch her again and carefully turned her to maintain her position, lying on her side with her back to him.

Sadie curled up, shivering. Her silk nightgown was soon soaked with sweat.

Micah frowned, picked up his phone, and called Dahlia. "Come over, please."

"No need," Sadie immediately protested. "Dr. Rey said it would hurt tonight but get better by tomorrow."

On the other end, Dahlia carefully assured, "Yes, Mr. Clemens. She has strained her back muscles. It'll be tough tonight, but much better tomorrow. If the pain's too much, she can take the painkillers I left on the nightstand..." Micah got up to fetch the painkillers for Sadie.
