Chapter 1442 Finally a Breakthrough
In the morning, when Micah woke up, Sadie had already left. He reached for the pillow beside him, finding it cold
and empty, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. Suddenly, it seemed his heart felt just as hollow. His phone
buzzed. He picked it up and saw a text from Sadie.
Sadie: [Honey, I'm boarding the plane. I'll be back tonight. Be good, rest well, and wait for me!]
The kind and gentle words felt like a ray of sunshine warming his heart. Micah was instantly moved, a charming
smile appearing on his lips.
He had never known that Sadie could be so sweet. If tcould slow down a bit, if his life could last a bit longer,
it would be more perfect. Thinking of this, Micah immediately got out of bed despite his weak body. He couldn't
waste any more time; he had many things to take care of.

On the other side, Sadie arrived at Mount Avalis in the afternoon. Paula and Percy were waiting for her at the
village entrance. Seeing her car approach, they waved at her excitedly. Sadie got out of the car and chatted with
them as they walked home. She had missed the chance to pay respects to Hubert a few days ago, and now she
needed to go.
Afterward, the group returned home. The attendants stayed outside while Percy went to cook, and Paula took
Sadie to the study.
The old wooden bookshelf was filled with various books, sof which were handwritten. There were also some
bottles of wine and homemade medicine, all neatly categorized. Paula introduced everything to Sadie, checking
if there was anything she could use.
"Did Mr. Henry ever mention Riley to you?" Sadie asked while searching through medical books. "What does he
look like? How old is he? Where does he live? Do you have any contact information, even old ones?"
"Rylan already askedthese questions," Paula replied truthfully. "Mr. Henry rarely mentioned Riley. Whenever
he did, he got angry and said Riley was a disobedient student and didn't say much more." "Think carefully, is
there any other clue?" Sadie persisted.
"As for age," Paula said, thinking hard, "I remember Mr. Henry once scolded Riley, saying he thought he had
mastered all his medical skills and were eager to leave. He also called Riley an arrogant child, not yet an adult."
Paula counted on her fingers and muttered, "Riley left in the second year after | becMr. Henry's student. |
was 14 then, so he was about my age when he left."
"No way," Sadie was shocked. "Paula, you're only 19 now. Are you saying Riley is about your age?"
"Maybe Riley's a bit older than me?" Paula scratched her head and shrugged. "Anyway, he's quite young."
"An underage person should be under 18. Even if he was 18 before, he would only be 23 now," Sadie was

"No," Paula shook her head repeatedly. "He's young. When Rylan asked me, he didn't ask about Riley's age, so
he probably thought Riley was middle-aged too."
"This is good news. Finally, a breakthrough," Sadie said excitedly and urged, "Paula, are there any other clues?
Think hard."
"Other clues..." Paula frowned, thinking hard. "I really don't know anything else."
"Riley has another characteristic," Percy brought in tea, suddenly chiming in. "Liking to raise wild animals."
"Yes, yes," Paula nodded and recalled with lingering fear. "When | went up the mountain, Mr. Henry's backyard
had a wolf that Riley had raised. Mr. Henry askedto feed it, and | was scared to death. Later, Mr. Henry
released the wolf."
