Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 The Design Draft Was Gone

The butler, looking quite bewildered, entered Room 319 and paused by the door, watching as the doctor gave Noah a

sedative.

Amid the commotion, Sadie was frantically trying to help Noah.

“Miss Hudson, please take a moment to rest. I can look after Mr. Wall,” the butler suggested.

Sadie quickly shook her head.

“I need to do this myself,” she insisted, her eyes fixed intently on Noah without realizing it.

Recognizing her resolve, the butler stepped back without objection.

The doctor completed his examination, confirming all was in order.

“Miss Hudson, Mr. Wall has only been drugged. He will be fine after some rest.”

Relief washed over Sadie, and she collapsed exhaustedly onto the bed’s edge.

“Thank you, doctor,” she murmured faintly.

Once the doctor had left, the butler departed to inform Eva of the incident.

“Drugged?” Eva set her glass of red wine aside, her lips curving into a knowing smile. “Such a crude tactic. It’s surprising Noah would be involved with a woman like that.”

After a brief pause, she commanded, “Fetch the servant who served Mr. Wall his drink.”

The butler acknowledged with a nod and quickly departed to execute her orders.

As Eva played with her wine glass, her gaze drifted, reflecting a deep contemplation.

Outside, the rain persisted heavily, yet the room’s warmth created a cozy atmosphere.

Sadie remained seated at the bed’s edge, gently arranging the blankets around Noah. He lay there deeply asleep, his features relaxed under the soft light, exuding a tranquility that made him appear less formidable and unexpectedly gentle.

Sadie let out a soft sigh, then rose and moved to the desk. She flipped open her laptop, its screen casting a pale light that highlighted the weariness in her eyes.

Compelling herself to concentrate, she was resolved to continue working; a task still awaited completion.

She had already completed the initial design draft; the next steps were to digitize it, apply color, and fine–tune the details.

Her fingers glided over the drawing tablet, with lines emerging fluidly under her deft touch.

Despite her focus, her thoughts frequently drifted to the figure resting on the bed- the man who had once held her close,

yet now felt so far away.

The whirlwind of emotions swirling within her was intense and defied expression.

She shook her head, attempting to clear away the distracting thoughts.

Her focus needed to be sharp; her mind needed to be at peace.

As time slipped away, the darkness outside gave way to the first light of dawn.

Morning light seeped through the curtains, softly illuminating the room and revealing the untidy state of the bed.

Sadie had no idea when sleep had taken over. She woke up groggy, rubbing her stiff neck as she pushed herself upright.

The laptop remained active, displaying the finalized design draft on its screen.

Relief flooded Sadie as she saw the completed draft. She had managed to finish right on schedule.

Noah was not in the room when she looked around.

Apparently, he had left, which brought her a subtle comfort. The closeness they had experienced the previous night had been slightly confusing.

Carefully, Sadie closed her laptop and picked it up, ready to take it to Eva.

As she reached for the doorknob and began to turn it, the door burst open from the outside.

In the doorway stood Kyla.

Kyla, seeing Sadie, raised her hand to strike her.

Quickly, Sadie caught Kyla’s wrist, her gaze cold. “Miss Wade, what is this behavior?”

Kyla attempted to pull her wrist away, but Sadie’s hold was secure.

Kyla’s eyes blazed with anger, and she bared her teeth. “Sadie, you are disgusting! You and Noah are divorced, yet you’re still chasing after him? How pathetic!”

With a mocking sneer, Sadie released Kyla’s wrist.

“Miss Wade, aren’t you the disgusting one, considering you are the mistress?”
