Chapter 159 Back From The Business Trip
Averi collapsed suddenly, his small body hitting the floor with a faint groan.
The color drained from Sadie’s face, her expression one of stark alarm as she exclaimed, “Averi!”
Noah, too, was caught off guard, his hand slipping from Sadie’s wrist in shock.
Rushing to Averi’s side, Sadie scooped him up, her voice quivering with fear as she repeatedly called out, “Averi, Averi, what’s wrong?”
Averi lay in her arms, his face ghostly pale and his eyes shut, offering no response.
A wave of dizziness overcame Sadie, her vision briefly clouding.
All concerns about Noah faded as she clutched Averi close and opened the door of the apartment.
“Sadie!” As the door swung open, Alex, standing outside, was taken aback by the unfolding scene.
The sight of Noah there was unexpected.
Spotting Alex, Sadie said, her voice shaking, “Alex, Averi is…”
Without hesitation, Alex quickly took Averi from her arms, noticing how pale he was. “Let’s go!”
They sped downstairs, Noah left behind, standing alone.
Outside the hospital’s examination room, Sadie and Alex waited anxiously.
“Why hasn’t the doctor come out yet…” Sadie whispered.
After ten anxious minutes, a doctor in a white coat emerged from the room.
Rushing forward, Sadie asked, her voice rough with worry, “Doctor, how’s my son?”
The doctor, mask in hand, looked serious. “His fever isn’t subsiding, and the situation is concerning. It’s not a simple cold
or fever. We recommend a bone marrow puncture to identify the cause.”
“A bone marrow puncture?” Sadie froze, filled with fear.
“The procedure is crucial for a quick diagnosis and effective treatment,” the doctor continued with patience. “It’s best we
act swiftly.”
Dizziness hit Sadie again, her body nearly giving way.
Averi seemed too fragile for such an invasive test.
Sadie’s heart ached with an unbearable weight, making it hard to breathe.

Overwhelmed by worry, she managed to ask, “Isn’t there any other option? Must we do a bone marrow puncture?”
The doctor’s sigh indicated the gravity of the situation. “This is our best option at this moment.”
Alex approached, his hand comforting on Sadie’s shoulder. “Sadie, trust that the doctors will do their best for Averi.”
As Sadie looked into Alex’s eyes, her tears flowed freely.
In the end, she signed the consent form with a trembling hand.
An hour had passed when Averi, still under anesthesia, was gently wheeled into his hospital room.
Sadie, seated beside his bed, clutched his tiny hand, her eyes wide open throughout the night.
Outside the hospital, a sleek black Maybach sat silently by the curb, its interior bathed in soft light.
Noah, brooding in the driver’s seat, held a cigarette loosely between his fingers.
The echo of Sadie’s revelation haunted him, saying, “Averi is my child with Alex.”
In a burst of anger, Noah flicked the cigarette butt into the night and pounded the steering wheel with his fist.
He refused to accept this.
Taking a deep breath, he grabbed his phone and hastily dialed Samuel. “Find out everything about Sadie’s child.”
Samuel’s confusion was palpable. “Child? What child?”
Impatiently, Noah clarified, “Sadie’s child. He’s in the hospital. Investigate him! And fire Jordyn.”
With a heavy sigh, he ended the call and massaged his temples.
Samuel, still bewildered, knew better than to probe further and started his investigation without delay.
In the morning, Kyla’s heels clicked sharply against the floor as she made her way back to Wall Group.
Having completed her business trip, Kyla had arranged to return on the first available flight.
“Where’s Noah?” She glanced around, but the office was empty.
