Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Please Leave

Inside the car, the air conditioning blasted cold air, yet it failed to cool the heat radiating from Sadie’s feverish body.

She shifted uncomfortably, her mind wavering between confusion and moments of clarity.

The world outside blurred past her.

Only the image of that chiseled face–sometimes sharp, sometimes fading into obscurity–dominated her fevered thoughts.

“Noah… it’s so hot…” Sadie murmured, fumbling with the collar of her shirt, struggling unsuccessfully to loosen it.

Her fingertips accidentally brushed against warm skin, a sensation both unfamiliar and comforting

Alex gripped the steering wheel tighter, his knuckles whitening with the effort.

He forced his gaze to remain fixed on the road ahead, though the rapidly passing scenery seemed to stand still.

The heat of Sadie’s breath filled the confined space of the car, intensifying the tension that already strained his nerves.

A tumult of emotions swirled within Alex.

He felt deep pity for Sadie’s plight, yet he couldn’t deny the burgeoning feelings he harbored for her.

“Noah… water…” Sadie’s voice was soft, weak, almost affectionate.

Alex’s heart skipped a beat, as he realized that in her delirium, Sadie mistook him for Noah.

Taking a deep breath to compose himself, Alex spoke with deliberate calmness.

“Sadie, hold on. I’m taking you to the hospital right now.”

But Sadie seemed not to hear him. She attempted to move closer, continuously murmuring Noah’s name.

Her flushed cheek rested against Alex’s arm, her skin scorching where it touched him.

Alex’s breathing hastened, as he felt a heat rising within him, threatening to overwhelm his senses.

He clenched his jaw, determined to maintain his composure.

He knew he couldn’t exploit Sadie’s vulnerable state. He couldn’t betray the trust she placed in him, even in her delirium.

He sped up, driving directly to the nearest hospital.

The hospital’s emergency room was brightly lit, bustling with activity.

Alex carried Sadie in his arms, hurrying her into the examination room.

The medical team quickly sprang into action, assessing her condition.

“She’s been drugged,” one of the doctors announced gravely.

Alex’s expression turned grim immediately.

His fists clenched tightly, knuckles whitening with rage.

He silently vowed retribution for whoever was responsible for harming Sadie.

Sadie lay on the hospital bed, her face contorted with discomfort, brows knitted together in distress.

Alex remained by her side, his watchful eyes softening with concern.

He gently stroked her hair and whispered reassuringly, “Sadie, don’t worry. I’m here with you.

The sterile scent of disinfectant permeated the room.

Gradually, Sadie’s eyelashes fluttered as she began to emerge from the drug–induced fog.

She felt a comforting warmth as a hand enveloped hers, instilling a profound sense of security amidst her confusion.

Watching Sadie slowly regain her natural color, Alex finally allowed his tense muscles to relax slightly.

Suddenly, the door to the room burst open with a loud bang. A tall frame filled the doorway, his presence charged with

cold fury.

Noah had arrived.

His eyes, red and intense, scanned the room until they landed on Sadie.

He moved purposefully towards the bed.

“Don’t touch her!” Alex exclaimed, standing quickly to shield Sadie from Noah.

Noah’s eyes narrowed menacingly at the sight of Alex’s hand gripping Sadie’s. His face darkened with anger, setting the

stage for a confrontation.

He yanked at Alex’s hand. “Who do you think you are, blocking me?”

Unfazed, Alex held Noah’s challenging gaze. “I’m her friend–the one who stayed by her side when she needed help the

most.”

Noah sneered. “Friend? Ha, I think you have ulterior motives!”

He tried to reach for Sadie, but Alex stood firm, blocking him once more.
