Sadie curled up on the sofa and, without realizing it, fell asleep.
As the night deepened, silence enveloped the room, punctuated only by the occasional honk of a distant car.
Noah finished handling some emails and glanced over at Sadie, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Her long eyelashes cast delicate shadows over her cheeks, and the soft lighting highlighted her gentle features.
Quietly, he stood, walked over, and carefully lifted her from the sofa to the bed.
After tucking her in, he sat by the bedside, watching her sleep. A faint frown marred her serene expression, hinting at her
inner turmoil.
He reached out, gently brushing her cheek with the back of his fingers, marveling at the softness of her skin.
“Mmm…” Sadie murmured, stirring slightly in her sleep.
Noah withdrew his hand and left the bedroom, heading to the study where he dialed Samuel’s number.
“Look into the whereabouts of Sadie’s mother. I need it as soon as possible,” he instructed in a low, firm tone.
“Yes, Mr. Wall.” Came Samuel’s respectful response.
“Mmm…” Sadie murmured, slowly awakening.
Sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting patterns on the floor and awakening her fully.
She blinked away the remnants of sleep and looked around, realizing Noah was no longer in the room.
The suite felt large and empty, intensifying the loneliness enveloping her.
A pang of loss hit her as she rose from the bed, walked to the window, and drew back the curtains.
The morning sun flooded the room, brightening every corner.
Outside, the city buzzed with life, its tall buildings and bustling streets a stark contrast to the emptiness she felt inside.
Turning away, she noticed her bag on the sofa.
As she moved to pick it up, a note caught her eye. It lay on the coffee table, an address scribbled on it along with the words:
“Your mother once lived here.”
Her heart leaped, a mix of hope and excitement coursing through her.
She gripped the note tightly, took a deep breath, and attempted to steady her emotions.
Eager for answers, she quickly dialed Noah’s number.
The phone rang endlessly, but there was no answer.
Refusing to be deterred, she tried again, but still, no response came.

Uncertain of Noah’s whereabouts or when he might return, she felt a deep resolve to take the next steps on her own.
She knew she had to find her mother urgently.
Grabbing her bag, Sadie quickly left the hotel and hailed a cab, giving the driver the address on the note.
Throughout the journey, a blend of anxiety and anticipation churned within her.
She clung to the hope of finding her mother, yet feared another disappointment.
After about an hour’s drive, the cab stopped at the entrance of an old neighborhood.
Sadie paid the driver, stepped out, and took a deep breath before walking into the dilapidated area.
The buildings were rundown, with peeling paint and trash strewn about.
The air carried a damp, musty smell that was nearly suffocating.
She located the building from the address and ascended the crumbling stairs.
Her heart raced with each step, feeling nearly uncontrollable.
Upon reaching the third floor, she paused before a closed door. After hesitating, she knocked gently.
The sound echoed down the silent hallway.
After a long pause, the door creaked open.
An elderly woman with graying hair peered out, looking alarmed.
“Excuse me, I…” Sadie began cautiously.
The woman examined her intently before responding, “Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for.” Sadie paused, took a deep breath, and continued, “My mother, Jean Hudson.”
