Holden suppressed the uneasiness in his heart while silently watching the interactions between Sadie and Adele.

Sadie was manipulative in nature. She was not a good influence on Adele. So Holden didn't want Adele to become overly dependent on Sadie.

At that moment, Devin came in and said to Holden, “Mr. Fredrick, there's something urgent in the company."

Holden nodded. Then, he turned to Adele and said, "Adele, Daddy needs to leave now. I will be back to pick you up later."

With that, he and Devin left the ward.
