Chapter 496 Favoring Children

Nick always wanted to compete with Micah for everything, striving for equality, which was why he never won his father's favor, and the two argued for a lifetime. Moreover, over a decade ago, Nick had caused a scene at his father's birthday celebration, enraging him so severely that he suffered a stroke.

Fortunately, the Clemens family had a professional medical team. After several years of treatment, his father eventually recovered...

Since then, Micah never let her meet his grandfather alone again.

Arriving at the special hospital ward, Micah didn't go up with Nick right away but waited for Dahlia's call.

"Do we really need to do this? I told you, I just cracked the whip a few times, I didn't touch her," Nick complained with an irritated frown. "We're already downstairs, and you're still not letting me go up?" "If everything checks out, then naturally I'll let you go up."

Micah sincerely hoped he could take Nick upstairs. At least then, Sadie would be safe. If her injuries were merely superficial, he wouldn't be fussing over her now.

For the sake of a woman, you disregard family ties. How can a person like that be in charge?"

If not me, then who? Alan?" "You..." Nick's rage transformed his countenance into a mask of steel, his icy gaze radiating a palpable menace. He might have tolerated Micah's opposition, but belittling his son was something he couldn't endure. "Alan is naive and kind, just hasn't come into his own yet. One day, he will surpass you." Nick glared at Micah with indignation. "Also, that grudge from the last time you hit him, I'll settle that with you sooner or later." Micah couldn't be bothered to continue the argument, his gaze dropping to his smartphone.
