Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Paternity Test

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia… Bone marrow transplant….

Alex’s gaze met Sadie’s, laden with a swirl of emotions. “Sadie, I’ll do everything I can to find a donor match.” Alex’s gaze met Sadie’s, laden with a swirl of emotions.

Tears welled up in Sadie’s eyes, but she fought to keep them at bay.

“I’ve caused you so much trouble, Alex,” she whispered.

A wave of bitterness washed over her. She knew she could never repay his kindness in this lifetime.

Alex offered a weak smile, maintaining a light tone. “Please, don’t worry about it, Sadie. We’re friends.”

He glanced towards Averi, who was resting quietly on the hospital bed. “I’m going to leave now. Take care of yourself and

try to rest.”

Sadie nodded, too overwhelmed to speak.

Alex turned and left, closing the door softly behind him.

The tears Sadie had been suppressing finally cascaded down her cheeks.

Her phone’s shrill ring cut through the silence of the ward that afternoon.

Exhausted, Sadie answered the call. The caller ID showed “Kyla.”

“Sadie, the design drafts for ‘Timeless Love‘ need revisions. You need to come back immediately,” Kyla demanded.

Sadie was stunned by Kyla’s words.

Averi was still lying in his hospital bed; leaving him was unthinkable. “I can’t leave right now. I’ll have one of my studio’s designers handle the revisions.”

“The collaboration isn’t finished, and you think it’s appropriate to send a designer in your place?” Kyla’s tone was cutting,

filled with disdain.

Sadie clenched her fists, quelling the anger bubbling inside her. “When I submitted the drafts, there were no objections. Now, a week later, you demand revisions? Miss Wade, your request is completely unreasonable.”

“You…” Kyla was so furious she could barely speak. “You’ll regret this, Sadie Hudson. Mark my words!”

“Miss Wade, I will address the design draft issue as soon as possible, but right now, my priority is to be at the hospital with

my son.”

A long silence followed, then Kyla’s voice returned, oozing malice. “Fine, Sadie. Just you wait.”

The call ended with a series of sharp beeps reverberating through the room.

Exhausted, Sadie slumped against the bed’s edge, her phone slipping from her grasp.

She was certain Kyla wouldn’t let this go easily.

Meanwhile, Kyla, overcome with fury, slammed her phone down on the desk.

She hadn’t expected Sadie to challenge her so boldly.

Yet Sadie’s defiance unwittingly played into her hands.

Knowing Sadie couldn’t leave the hospital, Kyla had strategically timed her demand to maximize the pressure, hoping to

throw Sadie off balance.

Regaining her composure, Kyla picked up her phone and dialed another number. “Hello, Korbin. Proceed with the ‘Timeless Love‘ lawsuit. Use the materials 1 prepared to sue Sadie’s studio for breach of contract. Claim the drafts are substandard and accuse them of unprofessionalism. I want her reputation destroyed, dragged through the mud.”

She paused, her tone chilling further. “Do it swiftly and without mercy. I want her to face severe consequences, and quickly.”

The voice on the other end responded with deference, “Understood, Miss Wade. I’ll initiate the proceedings immediately.”

Kyla ended the call and turned to her desk, pulling out a folder.

She flipped through the pages one by one, a triumphant smile spreading across her face.

Kyla wasn’t merely intent on ruining Sadie’s career; she aimed to strip her of everything.

Clutching the documents for the Amberhollow project, Kyla prepared to update Noah.

“Noah, about the Amberhollow project…” She pushed open the door to the CEO’s office, but her voice faded.

Noah was standing by the floor–to–ceiling window, his tall figure silhouetted against the backdrop of light.
