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

Chapter 1072:

She longed for tales from before the tragedy.noveldrama

But now, all of it had slipped beyond reach.

The final thread had snapped.

Her mother’s and father’s demise, now Sharon’s—it felt like an orchestrated pattern.

Who was behind this web of cruelty?

Why such merciless precision?

Sadie gripped Noah’s sleeve with trembling hands, her reddened eyes locking onto his with desperation. “Noah, I need answers,” she said, her voice sharp and shaky. “What exactly happened to her? Who took her life?”

Noah shifted his gaze toward the guards at the entrance and gave a brief signal.

Understanding immediately, they lifted the stretcher and departed. Noah gently guided Sadie to sit, then sat beside her. “Sadie, you have to stay calm,” he urged softly. “Focus on what I’m about to say.” Taking a moment, he gathered his thoughts before continuing in a somber tone, “I checked the surveillance around the hospital. It showed that after Sharon finished buying food, she was forcibly taken into a black car. The car vanished into an unmonitored alley—after that, there were no further visuals. My team couldn’t recover anything useful.” He inhaled sharply before adding, “Her remains turned up on the outskirts, far from here.”

Though his voice stayed composed, every sentence cut into Sadie like a blade.

Kidnapped after buying food and discovered lifeless hours later?

The explanation felt hollow, filled with voids.

Her chest tightened under the weight of helplessness.

The enigma surrounding her parents endured, and now the only person who might have held a key was gone.

She averted her gaze, drained.

“I need some time alone,” she said. “Please, leave.”

Noah looked worried. His eyes showed it, even though he kept his mouth shut.

He wanted to stay. Sadie needed someone now more than ever. But the look in her eyes—distant, drained—held him back.

Sadie said nothing. She stared out the window, her frame still and fragile.

Noah let out a quiet sigh and stood up. “Alright. Try to rest. I’ll be just outside. Call me if you need anything.”

He stepped out, closing the door behind him with care, leaving the room in silence.

Sadie slowly got to her feet. Her bare soles met the cold floor, the chill slicing through the fog in her mind.

Something didn’t sit right.

She knew what Noah was capable of—the reach he had, the people he could call.

How could he have found nothing? Especially after being gone all night and only showing up again now. There was no way he came back empty-handed. He was hiding something.
