Chapter 91: Micah vs. The Plot
Monday morning, Micah woke up early after a restless sleep. All night, he had dreamed of Leo hunting him down while he tried to protect Darcy. He sat up groggily, his eyes barely open. Today was orientation day, and Darcy was waiting.
He brushed through his silver hair quickly and splashed cold water on his face. Putting on his glasses, Micah glanced in the mirror, somewhat pleased with the result. He looked at least half-human now, finally shedding the zombie look from his sleepless night.
He wore a hoodie, grabbed his bag, and stepped into the hallway. The clatter of dishes from the kitchen said breakfast was already prepared. All the Ramsy family, except Micah, were early risers.
He entered the dining room, catching all the Ramsy family off guard.
Elina raised an eyebrow. "Morning. I thought I would have to drag you out of bed today."
Micah pulled out a chair and sat down. "I am picking up my friend first, then heading to the university."
"You don’t need one of us to come with you?" Jacob asked hopefully, lowering the newspaper and setting it aside.
"Nah, I am grown up. I don’t need you to babysit me," Micah said while reaching for an omelette roll and biting into it hungrily. He was famished. Leo’s words had been a false alarm, luckily. But he had not eaten properly last night, having lost his appetite due to anxiety.
"Okay..." Jacob’s shoulder slumped.
Micah paused and exchanged a questioning look with Elina.
"Your father thought maybe this time he could help one of his children," she said with a knowing look.
