Chapter 109 Not Hopeful

About Her Condition

Noah left a missed call and a voice message for Alex, inquiring if there was any update on Sadie.

Alex’s fingers tightened around his phone, yet he chose to keep Sadie’s situation to himself.

He returned the bank card to the table, looking at Sadie with a complex expression. “Alright. Since you’ve decided, proceed.

And remember, I’m here if you need assistance.”

“Thank you, Alex,” Sadie responded, her gratitude evident.

“Think nothing of it. We’re friends,” Alex replied, mustering a smile as he stood to leave. “I’ll let you rest now, Sadie. Take

care. I’m off.”

“Okay.” Sadie rose to escort him to the door.

Once Alex departed, Sadie retreated to her room, where she gathered her drawing board and pencils.

She inhaled deeply, her eyes filled with determination.

This was her moment to prioritize her own life.

She resolved to revive her passion for design.

Sadie’s pencil flew across the paper, bringing her innovative ideas to life.

Engrossed in her work, she sketched tirelessly, channeling all her prior disappointments and complaints into her art.

As the days passed by, Sadie finalized her portfolio.

She then dispatched her resume to Majestic Ego, the most prestigious design firm in Cairhienen.

Before long, an invitation for an interview landed in her inbox.

On the interview day, Sadie donned a sleek, professional ensemble and strode into Majestic Ego with confidence.

During the interview, she passionately explained her design philosophy while showcasing her portfolio.

Her evident talent and enthusiasm won over the interviewers, who offered her the job immediately.

Thus, Sadie began her new career path with Majestic Ego.

Three years later.

Standing by a floor–to–ceiling window, Sadie overlooked the lively night lights of Cairhienen. Despite the beauty, her attention was elsewhere. She gripped a black pen, her fingers tense and pale.

Her face conveyed a turmoil of emotions, and she was lost in thought.

“Sandra, Averi is awake.” A soft knock on the study door interrupted the quiet, followed by the gentle voice of Nina Welch,

the nanny.

Startled from her reverie, Sadie set the pen down and moved toward the door.

“Coming,” she replied softly, her face breaking into a tender smile.

Opening the door, she saw her young son in cartoon pajamas, sleepily calling out, “Mommy.”

Overwhelmed with affection, Sadie approached swiftly and lifted her son into a warm embrace.

“My sweet boy, did you have a good nap?” Sadie asked, planting a kiss on Averi Hudson’s rosy cheek.

Averi wrapped his arms around Sadie’s neck, nestling closer.

“I did, Mommy. Can you hold me?”

Sadie scooped up her son and walked him over to the living room sofa.

“Just watch some cartoons for a little while, Averi. I need to go work on some designs upstairs, okay?”

Averi gave a small nod, his attention already captured by the television.

The doorbell echoed suddenly.

Nina moved to answer it, and soon Alex stepped through the door.

“Alex!” Averi shouted, his face lighting up.

With a warm smile, Alex approached and lifted Averi into his arms.

“Have you missed me, Averi?”

“Yes!” Averi’s response came with a tight hug around Alex’s neck.

After some playful moments, Alex glanced towards Nina.

“Is Sadie upstairs?” he inquired.

“She’s in the study, Mr. Howe,” Nina responded, her smile showing her familiarity with Alex for his frequent visits.

“Let’s go see Mommy, shall we?” Alex suggested, carrying Averi towards the staircase.

“Yes!” Averi cheered, clapping his hands in excitement.

As they neared the study, Sadie stepped out and saw them. “Averi, why don’t you have some dinner with Nina first?” she suggested, catching a glimpse of Averi behind Alex.

“Mommy, look, Alex is here!” Averi exclaimed, pointing at Alex with joy.

“Yes, I see him, Averi. Please go have your dinner now. Mommy needs to talk to Alex,” Sadie said, stroking her son’s hair softly.

Averi then walked to the dining room with Nina.
