Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 One Last Time

At the hospital, Sadie remained beside Averi’s bed, her gaze fixed on her son’s small, pale face.

Alex stayed beside her in silence, occasionally handing her a glass of water and murmuring a few reassuring words.

“Sadie, Averi is going to be alright,” Alex said gently.

She gave a slight nod, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

“Alex, I really appreciate you staying. I don’t know how I would handle this alone.”

“We’re friends. It’s the least I can do. And to me, Averi is like my own child,” Alex replied.

Sadie hesitated for a moment but chose not to say anything.

A brief stillness settled in the room before she returned her focus to Averi.

Meanwhile, Noah had been sitting in his car near the hospital entrance for hours, his frustration intensifying with each passing second.

The idea that Averi was Sadie and Alex’s child seemed unthinkable, yet Sadie’s unwavering stance made him question

everything. No matter what, he needed clarity.

Turning the key, he drove toward the hospital’s parking area.

Throughout the drive, he couldn’t shake the image of Averi’s delicate features and Sadie’s anxious expression from his

mind.

His grip on the wheel tightened, his foot pressing harder on the gas as his thoughts spiraled.

Just as Kyla was about to exit the office, Samuel rushed inside.

He halted upon spotting her but quickly masked his surprise.

“Miss Wade, why are you here?”

“I’m looking for Noah. Do you know where he went?”

Samuel hesitated slightly before responding, “Mr. Wall… he’s likely in the hospital.”

“The hospital? Why would he go there?”

Kyla’s pulse quickened, an uneasiness creeping over her.

Samuel lowered his head, offering no explanation.

Noticing his reluctance, Kyla grew even more confused.

She didn’t press further, instead spinning on her heel and hailing a cab straight to the hospital.

A while later, inside the hospital room, Averi slowly regained consciousness.

His eyelids fluttered open, and he saw his mother’s tear–streaked face. In a faint voice, he asked, “Mom, what happened?”

A rush of emotion filled Sadie’s chest when she heard his voice, and tears streamed freely down her cheeks.

She embraced him tightly. “Averi, you’re awake! You had a high fever, but everything is fine now.”

Averi blinked drowsily. “Mom, I feel okay. Where’s that man?”

Sadie tensed for a second. She knew exactly who he meant–Noah.

Not wanting him entangled in the complicated situation, she replied, “He had to leave for something important. Don’t worry. Just rest.”

Though confused, Averi nodded obediently. He nestled into his mother’s arms and soon drifted back to sleep.

Sadie gently laid him back down before stepping into the corridor for some fresh air.

As she reached the corridor’s end, she spotted Noah striding toward her.

“Why are you here?” Sadie frowned, her expression guarded.

Noah’s eyes locked onto hers, his tone cool and unwavering. “I came to get answers about the boy.”

“I already told you. It’s none of your business. Just go and don’t come back.”

Sadie turned to head back to the ward, but Noah caught her arm firmly.

“Sadie, you won’t shake me off that easily. I need to know the truth about this child,” he said, his voice firm.

“Let go of me!” Sadie struggled to break free from his grip. “Noah, we’re no longer married. You have no say in my life

anymore.”

Just as the tension between them was at its peak, Kyla arrived at the hospital.

The moment she saw Noah and Sadie together, her temper flared.

“Noah, what’s going on? Is she bothering you again?” Kyla asked, her tone deceptively sweet but laced with irritation.

Noah cast a fleeting glance at her but remained silent. His thoughts were entirely occupied with Averi, leaving Kyla’s presence barely registering in his mind.

When Kyla noticed his indifference, her hands balled into tight fists.

She then turned to Sadie, eyes burning with contempt, as if silently accusing her of being shameless. How could this woman, already divorced from Noah, still be entangled with him?
