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

Chapter 1107:

By then, Sadie had already flung herself into the car and slammed the door shut. Blaine rushed in right behind her and dropped into the passenger seat.

“Sadie, try not to panic, okay? Maybe Averi just wandered off for a bit. Maybe by the time we get there, he’s already back.”

Sadie shook her head. Her lips pressed together, trembling ever so slightly.

“No. That’s not it.”

She knew her son too well. Averi wasn’t the type to stray. He wasn’t reckless or careless, and he never disappeared without a reason.

That thought stabbed straight through her chest. A wave of panic surged upward, and she bit down hard on her bottom lip to keep from falling apart.

She twisted the key, started the engine, and tore down the road.noveldrama

The drive back to Wall Manor took thirty long minutes.

Once they arrived, chaos had already taken over. The usually composed staff were all flustered.

Sadie caught sight of the butler standing amid the confusion and ran straight toward him.

“What’s going on?”

Breck looked like he was about to collapse. He bowed again and again, his face pale and his voice shaking.

“Ma’am, I’m so sorry. This is all my fault. I should have kept a better eye on Averi!”

“I went to pick up Averi from school like I always do, but traffic held me up longer than expected. When I finally arrived, the teacher said someone had already picked him up. Panic hit me like a punch to the chest. I called the house immediately and rushed back as fast as I could—but Averi hadn’t come home. That’s when I knew something was really wrong. I’ve already sent people out to search every corner, but there hasn’t been a single lead.”

Sadie felt her head spin. The stress of pregnancy had already worn her thin, and this news nearly knocked her off balance.

Blaine moved quickly, catching her arm before she fell. His voice was tight with worry. “Sadie, are you alright?”

She gave him a faint wave, brushing off the concern. Of course she wasn’t alright—how could she be? But this wasn’t the moment to crumble. She had to stay focused. Averi needed her. Taking in a shaky breath, she forced her thoughts to sharpen.

“Check the surveillance footage from the school entrance. And send someone to ask Isabel if she went there!”

She clung to that small thread of hope, as thin and unlikely as it was. “Maybe Isabel picked him up after leaving Ultracare Hospital, and they just got delayed. We can’t panic. We have to stay focused.”

At that moment, Samuel burst into the house. His expression was dark, his voice urgent.

“Ms. Hudson, I’m really sorry I didn’t do a good job. Our team just reported that Forest had taken Hailey away. And not just her—surveillance footage shows Mrs. Isabel Wall was taken along with her!”
