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

Chapter 1098:

He wanted to reach out and hold her hand, to calm her down and make her listen to his explanation.

But Sadie must have read his mind, because she took a step back, just out of his reach.

Her gaze was cold and resolute. “If you won’t tell me, then I’ll find the truth myself. I’ll do it, no matter the cost!”

Noah’s throat tightened with emotion. If he revealed the truth to her, it would only reopen old wounds that had yet to heal. But he knew that Sadie would never let this matter go. If she pursued it on her own, she would put herself in potential danger.

In the end, Noah pressed his lips into a thin line and turned away. He said nothing.

When Sadie saw this, the spark in her eyes faded.

So he still didn’t want to tell her.

Her lips curled into a wry, self-deprecating smile.

Then she turned and stormed out of the room without another word.

The door clicked shut with a finality that echoed in Noah’s soul. He couldn’t help but compare that door to a gaping chasm that was now between him and Sadie.

Meanwhile, Sadie was walking down the hallway when she saw Isabel rushing over, accompanied by Samuel.

Isabel’s eyes filled with fresh tears as she grabbed Sadie’s hand. “Sadie, is he… Is he really Noah? Has my Noah truly returned?”noveldrama

Sadie stroked the older woman’s back and said soothingly, “Don’t get too worked up, Isabel. Only a few of us know about Noah’s identity at the moment. For his safety, as well as Wall Group’s stability, we can’t let anyone else know yet, especially since he still hasn’t fully recovered his memory.”

Isabel had lived long enough to understand the gravity of the situation. She composed herself and nodded, though she didn’t bother to hide her relief.

“You’re always so level-headed, Sadie. I got a little too emotional back there. I almost forgot what his return means.”

Although the Wall family might appear harmonious to the outside world, Isabel knew that the elders were comprised of cunning foxes. They all had their eyes on Wall Group, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Sadie couldn’t afford to have anything happen that might disrupt that thin veil of peace.

“You can go in and see Noah,” Sadie said gently. “I’ll head home and freshen up, then I’ll be right back.”

Isabel gave Sadie a deep, lingering look but said nothing as she turned and entered the ward.

Instead of following her inside, Samuel caught up with Sadie. They strode down the hospital corridor and rounded the corner.

“Any movement from the Castro family?” Sadie asked in a voice that only Samuel could hear.
