Chapter 179 Good News
Sadie dashed down the stairs swiftly.
The motion–sensor lights flickered on in sequence, illuminating her path before fading just as she passed.
Upon reaching the small flowerbed, Sadie sat on the chilly stone steps. She hugged her knees tightly and hid her face in
them.
Nearby, a sleek black Maybach stood silently by the roadside.
Inside, Noah tapped his fingers on his thigh, a sign of his unease. He watched Sadie’s delicate form from afar and, in a
moment of frustration, tugged at his tie.
“Mr. Wall, aren’t you going to step out?” asked Samuel from the passenger seat, his voice filled with caution.
Noah looked away, his voice devoid of emotion. “Why should I?”
Samuel found himself without a response and chose to remain silent.
A heavy silence settled in the car.
Despite the silence, Noah’s thoughts were restless.
“When will she arrive?” he asked after a pause, his tone edged with annoyance.
“The plane will land in two hours,” Samuel responded promptly.
Acknowledging this with a slight mod, Noah said nothing more and his eyes drifted back to Sadie, still curled up on the
steps.
As time dragged on, Sadie finally stood, dusting off her clothes. She walked towards the hospital, her steps uncertain.
Unseen by her, the black Maybach began to follow at a careful distance, ensuring not to get too close or lag too far behind.
Noah continued to watch her intently, his expression drawn into a tight frown, his lips pressed into a straight line.
What was he really doing? Even Noah himself couldn’t explain.
Sadie made her way back to the hospital, straining to maintain her composure.
There was no room for sorrow now. She needed to pull herself together and handle the situation that awaited.
She took out her phone, planning to text Pierre about booking the international flight and sorting out the handover of her
studio.
Her fingers moved quickly over the screen.
Time seemed to blur until the hospital room door swung open abruptly.
Jim burst in, urgency written all over his face. “Sadie, Kairi has returned.”
Startled, Sadie looked up, but she quickly regained her cool.

She placed her phone aside and asked evenly, “What did you just say?”
Exhaling heavily, Jim relayed, “Kairi’s at the airport. She’s agreed to donate her bone marrow, and the hospital has already dispatched someone to bring her here.”
Sadie’s heart jolted.
Tears she had restrained for so long suddenly spilled over.
Hand over her mouth, Sadie trembled as she wept quietly, overwhelmed by a torrent of relief.
This news seemed to dissolve the heavy burden she had carried.
Hope for Averi had been restored.
Jim, standing beside her, watched as Sadie cried uncontrollably.
Unsure of how to provide comfort, he simply offered a gentle pat on her shoulder.
Time seemed to slow as Sadie’s crying eventually eased.
A shadow of doubt then crossed her face.
She had only met Kyla at the cafe earlier that day, now, Kairi had abruptly returned from abroad, ready to donate?
That was fast.
However, Averi’s well–being was the immediate concern.
Everything else would have to be secondary.
Another hour passed, and Kairi was led into the hospital by the medical staff.
Her face was pale, and she appeared worn out, barely resembling her former self.
Upon seeing Sadie, Kairi dropped to her knees with a heavy thud, overwhelmed by guilt. Tears cascaded down her cheeks
as she pleaded, “Miss Hudson, I’m so sorry. I was terribly wrong. Please forgive me!”
Holding tightly to the fabric of Sadie’s blouse, Kairi cried with such intensity that her voice strained.
Sadie’s face showed a mix of emotions. “You…”
“Sadie, taking your money and leaving the country was wrong. Greed blinded me. I’ll return every penny. Just give me a chance to make things right!” Kairi pleaded between sobs, her voice growing raspy.
Sadie watched her, her emotions a tangled mess.
