Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Laura Was In

A Dead Faint

At that moment, the sharp ringing of a phone shattered the quiet tension in the dining room.

Pulling her phone from her pocket in a swift motion, Sadie glanced at the screen and saw it was from Laura’s caregiver, Lexi Chavez. A knot formed in her stomach.

“Hello? Lexi, what’s wrong?” Sadie’s voice shook as she spoke.

From the other end of the line, Lexi’s voice, laced with anxiety, replied, “Sadie, Mrs. Stewart has collapsed in the bedroom.

I–I’m at a loss!”

“What?!” Sadie’s complexion drained of color, her hand clutching the phone so tightly her knuckles turned white. “Don’t lose your head. Check if my grandma is breathing and make sure the room is aired out. I’ll be there as soon as I can!”

With a sudden surge, she rose, knocking her chair to the floor with a muffled crash.

As Noah observed her agitated movements, his brow creased.

“What’s going on?” he inquired.

“My… my grandma has fainted!” Sadie stammered, her eyes brimming with tears.

Clutching her handbag, she turned swiftly to leave.

“I’ll drive you,” Noah said, standing decisively.

Without a word, Sadie accepted; time was of the essence.

Approaching Averi, she knelt before him, her voice trembling yet calm. “Sweetheart, I need to see Great–grandma because she’s unwell. Stay good for me here at home. The butler will look after you, okay?”

Averi, though young, felt the gravity of Sadie’s distress.

He gave a solemn nod, his small fingers gripping hers. “Mommy, please come back soon,” he whispered in his gentle voice.

Holding back her tears, Sadie kissed Averi’s forehead and hastened away with Noah through the gates of Myrtlewood Estate.

From a distance, the butler watched their departure, exhaling a soft sigh.

In the car, Sadie’s grip on her phone was so tight that the veins on her hand protruded, her complexion ghostly pale.

Despite her deep breaths, the turmoil within her refused to subside.

Her vision clouded with tears that cascaded down her pale cheeks.

Softly, she whispered, “Grandma…”

The thought of losing Laura was unbearable to her.

With one hand on the steering wheel, Noah reached out with the other to cover Sadie’s chilly hand, giving it a reassuring

squeeze.

“We’re nearly there. Don’t be scared,” he murmured, his voice a gentle balm.

Gripping his hand as if clinging to a lifeline, Sadie silently implored for Laura’s safety.

Outside, the landscape blurred as they sped forward.

At last, the car jerked to a stop outside Laura’s apartment building.

Barely pausing, Sadie flung open the door and raced up the steps, Noah right on her heels.

Lexi, anxiety clear on her face, was waiting. She rushed towards Sadie, saying, “You’re here, Sadie! Mrs. Stewart is still in

the bedroom.”

Without pausing for questions, Sadie rushed into the bedroom.

Laura was lying on the bed, her complexion ghostly pale, her breaths faint.

“Grandma!” exclaimed Sadie, rushing to the bedside, her hands shaking as she grasped Laura’s.

Noah didn’t hesitate; he immediately called 911.

He calmly said, “The ambulance is coming. We need to move your grandma gently off the bed.”

Working together, Sadie and Lexi delicately maneuvered Laura, lifting her to carry her downstairs. Noah went downstairs

first to ensure the security team cleared a path for the ambulance’s arrival.

Soon after, the ambulance arrived, and paramedics swiftly transferred Laura onto a stretcher.

Throughout the ordeal, Sadie stayed glued to Laura’s side, following each move.

Turning to one of the medics, she inquired, “Doctor, how is she?”

“The situation is still unclear. We’ll conduct more tests at the hospital,” responded the doctor.

With urgency, the ambulance then sped towards the hospital.

Inside the ambulance, Sadie kept a firm hold on Laura’s hand, her heart silently calling for a miracle.

Next to her, Noah sat, his face a mask of calm with underlying concern.

Back at the apartment, Lexi lingered by the door, her hands clasped tightly, her anxiety evident.

As the ambulance faded into the night, she finally managed to compose herself enough to dial Alex’s number.
