Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Losing To Sadie Was Not An Option

Sadie was momentarily taken aback by Jim’s words.

She lowered her head, her voice rough. “Dr. Archer, I’m aware.”

Jim studied her carefully, his eyes searching for clarity.

He knew she was smart–there was no way she was unaware.

“You are?” he asked.

Sadie lifted her chin, meeting his concerned stare. A bitter smirk played at her lips. “Of course I am, but… I just can’t go through with it.”

Jim’s confusion deepened. “Why not?”

Sadie exhaled heavily.

If Noah discovered the truth about Averi, everything would spiral out of control.

Three years ago, he had abandoned both her and the child she carried without a second thought. Why would he suddenly change now?

She couldn’t take that risk–it wasn’t an option.

“There are things that are too complicated to explain right now,” she murmured, her tone distant as she avoided Jim’s gaze.

Jim studied her hesitation, a thought forming in his mind.

Sadie, sensing his scrutiny, became even more unsettled.

“Dr. Archer, I appreciate your concern for Averi. I’ll do my best to find a suitable bone marrow donor as soon as possible.”

With that, she turned and walked toward Averi.

Jim watched her retreating figure, emotions churning inside him.

He had wanted to say more, to convince her, but the words wouldn’t come.

With a heavy heart, he turned and left the hospital room.

Sadie was always like this–fragile yet incredibly strong–willed.

And for some reason, that only made him want to help her even more.

Back in his office, Jim picked up the phone and called a colleague, William Carter.

The line connected, and a familiar voice answered amid the background noise of machinery and muffled conversation.

“This kid has acute lymphoblastic leukemia. His health is deteriorating fast. We’re running out of time? him wea

A brief silence followed. William seemed to be considering his options.

“Alright, send me his details. I’ll see if I can move him up the list, but you know my hands are tied to some extent

“I really appreciate it, William. Thank you.”

At the Wall Group headquarters, Noah stood by the towering window, a cigarette resting between his fingers, its ember glowing and fading with each breath.

“Mr. Wall, Miss Wade has instructed the legal team to proceed with the case against Miss Hudson’s studio. The paperwork is already in motion,” Samuel reported as he stepped into the office, breaking the silence.

He studied Noah’s face carefully.

Noah turned sharply, his hand pausing midair. Ash crumbled onto the carpet.

Sadie’s stubborn yet fragile expression flashed through his mind, stirring an inexplicable irritation.

The rhythmic sound of heels clicking against the floor echoed as Kyla entered, carrying an insulated food jar and a gentle

smile.

“Noah, I made you some soup. Have it while it’s still hot,” she said softly, setting the container on the desk.

Noah’s gaze settled on her.

Sensing a subtle shift in his expression, Kyla felt a flicker of unease but quickly concealed it.

“What’s this lawsuit about?” Noah’s voice was calm, but there was an underlying edge to it.

Kyla’s fingers tensed. “I was just following company protocol. I wanted to help Sadie, but there have been ongoing issues with “Timeless Love.‘ She refused to make the requested changes, and the design team-”

Her words trailed off, growing quieter, laced with hesitation.

But Noah had already stopped listening. He stubbed out his cigarette, grabbed his coat, and walked toward the door. “Drop the case against Sadie’s studio,” he ordered.

Samuel hesitated briefly before nodding “Understood, Mr. Wall.”

Without another word, Noah left, leaving Kyla standing alone, her face turning pale.

She couldn’t comprehend why Noah would go to such lengths for Sadie.

Everything she had orchestrated was unraveling before her eyes.

She clutched the silk scarf in her hand, her nails pressing into her skin.
