Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 1071:

Noah could feel her hope bearing down on him. His voice caught in his throat.

He looked away, avoiding her eyes for a long moment, then forced himself to meet her gaze. “Sadie…” His voice was a whisper. “You’ll need to prepare yourself.”

Sadie’s face fell instantly.

Confusion spread across her features.

Her mouth opened, but her voice was barely a rasp.

“What are you saying? Something happened to Sharon? Just say it!” Color drained from her cheeks as fear consumed her expression. She looked like she couldn’t breathe.

Noah gave a subtle signal toward the doorway.noveldrama

Two guards entered, a stretcher between them, veiled in a pristine white sheet. The fabric seemed to shine cruelly under the fluorescent lights, searing Sadie’s eyes.

A wave of dizziness swept over her as she stepped back unsteadily, nearly collapsing.

No.

It couldn’t be Sharon!

Her head shook in denial, tears blurring everything.

In a frenzy, she tore away from Noah’s grasp, stumbling forward with reckless urgency. “Sharon!” she screamed.

Noah’s expression shifted, and he swiftly stepped forward, enclosing her from behind with a firm grip around her torso.

He anchored Sadie to him, trying to steady her as she unraveled.

“Sadie, calm down!” he urged.

She thrashed in his hold, arms swinging in frantic protest. “Let me go! Don’t touch me!” she screamed. “That’s not Sharon! That can’t be her!”

Noah didn’t loosen his grasp. Her fists struck his chest, but he remained still, each blow cutting deeper than the last.

His chest ached with helplessness—this was far more than she could endure.

Lowering his head until his lips brushed her hair, he spoke gently, heavy with grief. “Don’t look, Sadie. Sharon wouldn’t want you to see her like this. I’m so, so sorry. Please—hold on.”

The fight left Sadie all at once, like breath sucked out by a storm. Her resistance faded slowly, and she collapsed against Noah, drained and trembling.

A choking sound escaped her lips as emotion overtook her, erupting into raw, unrestrained sobs.

The terror she had buried deep within erupted without warning.

“Sharon…” she wept. “Why did it come to this? She promised she’d stay put until I found my parents. Why did she break that promise?” Sharon and Laura were the only ones who were aware of the past of Sadie’s parents.

Sadie had counted on Sharon to uncover more fragments of their past.
