Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 What The Hell Were You Doing

“I’m fine.” Sadie pushed Nanette’s hand away, her voice firm, unwavering.

“Nanette, don’t try to stop me. I have to go.”

Her body was weak, every movement a battle against her own frailty, but she forced herself upright, her steps unsteady

but determined.

“Sadie! Stop!” Nanette’s voice cracked, thick with tears and frustration.

She knew Sadie too well–once her mind was set, there was no changing it. Stubborn didn’t even begin to describe her.

Sadie didn’t acknowledge the desperation in Nanette’s tone. She just kept moving.

Reaching the wardrobe, she yanked it open, rifling through her clothes with single–minded determination. Every motion, though slightly shaky, was deliberate.

Nanette could only watch, worried, her heart sinking as Sadie braced herself to walk out into whatever storm awaited her.

“Doctor! Doctor! Please, stop her! She’s trying to leave the hospital!” Nanette’s panicked cry rang through the corridor, her voice trembling as tears welled in her eyes.

Within moments, the doctor rushed in, only to find Sadie already dressed, her determination as clear as day. His expression darkened with concern. “Miss Hudson, you’re in no condition to be discharged. If you leave now, you’ll risk serious

complications.”

Sadie met his gaze, unwavering. “Doctor, I understand my condition perfectly. But I have something far more important to

do.”

The doctor opened his mouth to protest, but was cut off.

“Don’t waste your breath, Doctor.” Sadie’s tone was final, cutting through the room like a blade. “My decision is made.

Nothing will change it.”

“Sadie, you really are something.” A low, cold voice sliced through the air like a sudden gust of winter wind. Sadie’s breath caught. The certainty in her chest wavered, her entire body freezing mid–step.

Slowly, she turned. Noah stood at the doorway, tall, imposing, his broad shoulders framed by the crisp lines of his impeccably tailored black suit. Every inch of him radiated quiet authority.

But his eyes… Those deep, penetrating eyes locked onto her with an intensity that sent a shiver down her spine.

Without breaking his gaze, he stepped forward.

“Noah?” Sadie’s voice wavered, barely above a whisper. She hadn’t expected to see him. Not here. Not now.

Her mind scrambled for words–an explanation, anything–but nothing came.

Chapter 360 What The Hell Were You Doing

“Everyone. Out.” Noah’s voice was ice–cold, commanding, absolute.

His gaze was unreadable, his presence suffocating, heavy as a storm about to break.

The doctor and Nanette exchanged uneasy glances, a flicker of fear passing between them.

Defying Noah was not an option. Silently, they obeyed, slipping out of the room, the door clicking shut behind them.

The sound echoed in the vast stillness. Sadie’s heart clenched.

Now, it was just the two of them.

The air in the room thickened, charged with intensity as Noah took a slow, deliberate step forward.

Then another. And another.

“Sadie, are you really so desperate to leave me?”

His deep voice shattered the silence.

“That’s not…” She wanted to deny it, to explain- but the words barely left her lips before Noah cut her off. “That’s not what you were doing? Then, what the hell were you doing? Come on, tell me!” Noah pointed at Sadie’s outfit, his tone stern

and angry.

“Do you even understand the state you’re in? Your head wound hasn’t healed, and yet you’re trying to walk out of here?

What are you trying to do–kill yourself?”

Sadie flinched, momentarily stunned by the sheer force of his anger. She parted her lips, but no words came out.

“Lie down. Now.” Before she could react, Noah’s hands were on her shoulders, pushing her back onto the bed.

“Hey-” A sharp gasp escaped her as pain flared at the back of her head.

Her body tensed, her vision momentarily blurring.

Noah’s jaw tightened. The moment he saw her wince, saw the color drain from her face, something shifted in his expression. His anger wavered, a flicker of regret surfacing in his dark eyes.

He’d been too harsh. Too forceful.

For a brief second, his fingers hovered as if he wanted to check on her, to see if she was okay. But then the memory of her

reckless attempt to leave reignited the fire in his chest.

Clenching his jaw, he forced himself to rein in his frustration. His tone, though still firm, softened–just slightly. “Sadie, listen to me. You’re not going anywhere. You will stay in this bed and recover. Understood?”

“I…” Sadie opened her mouth, but before she could get another word out-

“Enough!” Noah cut her off.

។

“Not another word. You don’t need to explain anything. You don’t need to do anything. Just stay put and rest.”
