Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Sadie’s Unwavering Mission

Sadie’s hands were balled into tight fists, her fingernails painfully pressing into her flesh.

Her heart seemed to be lodged in her throat, pounding loudly.

Abruptly, the doors of the emergency room swung open.

A weary doctor appeared, pulling down his mask and massaging his temples.

“Doctor, how is my grandma doing?” Sadie stepped forward, urgency trembling in her voice.

The doctor let out a heavy sigh, his face etched with graveness. “Her condition is critical. She’s barely breathing, and her heartbeat is very faint. Immediate life support is crucial, otherwise…”

His voice faded, leaving the unsaid words hanging in the air, which Sadie understood all too well.

“Please, do whatever you can to save her!” Sadie pleaded, tears streaming down her face as her voice shook.

“The situation is complex; she’s old, and her health issues are severe. It’s best to prepare for any outcome,” explained the doctor gravely.

“A family member needs to sign this.” He handed over a document. With shaky hands, Sadie quickly reviewed and signed i without a second thought.

“Doctor, please, I’m depending on you,” she said, her voice cracking under the strain.

Acknowledging her with a nod, the doctor turned and went back inside the emergency room.

Leaning against the wall for support, Sadie felt the weight of the day bear down on her as the doors shut again.

As she checked the time, her phone displayed nearly five o’clock.

She whispered, “Averi…” as a sudden realization hit her–Averi was still at the kindergarten waiting.

She turned to the woman next to her, her voice raspy with fatigue. “Nanette, would you mind picking Averi up fron kindergarten for me?”

As Nanette looked at Sadie’s worn–out expression and swollen eyes, her heart went out to her.

She reassured Sadie confidently. “Don’t worry, Sadie. I’ll look after Averi. You stay and take care of your grandma. Just cal

me if you need anything.”

With a tight squeeze of Nanette’s hand, Sadie expressed her deep appreciation. “Thank you so much, Nanette. I reall appreciate it.”

Nanette gently patted her hand. “Don’t worry. Everything will be alright.”

Chapter 287

After offering a final comforting look, Nanette left the hospital.

As Sadie watched Nanette walk away, she was overcome with a profound sense of gratitude.

Her legs trembled, barely able to hold her up.

Observing her struggle to remain upright, Breck quickly came to her help, steadying her as she swayed.

“Mrs. Wall, are you okay?” inquired Breck, his voice echoing concern.

With her face ashen and lips quivering, Sadie struggled to find her voice.

Dizziness overwhelmed her, blurring her vision momentarily.

Gently, Breck helped her to a nearby bench in the corridor where they both sat.

Taking a deep breath, she shut her eyes, attempting to stabilize her breathing.

Barely whispering, she said, “I need some water…”

Without hesitation, Breck provided her with a cup of warm water.

Her hands shook as she took the cup and gingerly drank, feeling a bit revived after a few sips.

Opening her eyes, Sadie looked up at Breck, her expression one of confusion and vulnerability. “Can you tell me what just happened?”

With a heavy sigh, Breck began to explain the events that had unfolded.

“Your grandmother was perfectly alright until Mrs. Isabel Wall and Miss Wade arrived. We were instructed to stay outside. the premises, yet the sound of raised voices reached us from inside. It seemed to be quite a fiery dispute. Once they departed, your grandmother…”

He trailed off, leaving the sentence hanging, but Sadie grasped the implication immediately.

Her hands balled into tight fists, her nails digging painfully into her palms as veins stood out starkly against her skin.

Kyla was involved, of course. Why did she appear at Myrtlewood Estate, and with Isabel in tow? What could they possibly have said to upset Laura so deeply?

As these thoughts raced through her mind, Sadie’s anger surged, building with every moment.

Bolting upright, Sadie headed swiftly towards the exit of the hospital.

“Where are you headed, Mrs. Wall?” asked Breck, as he quickly followed her.

“I need to see Isabel and Kyla!” shouted Sadie, her words sharp and biting.

Breck looked on with concern as Sadie’s determined form disappeared into the distance.
