Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Leaving The Hospital

Sadie’s pupils suddenly contracted, and an overwhelming mix of fear and sorrow engulfed her. Her chest felt heavy, and she suddenly found it hard to breathe.

Impossible… This couldn’t be happening!

Her grandmother had been perfectly fine just a few days ago. How could something happen to her so suddenly?

Sadie refused to believe the news. Her hands began to shake, and the phone nearly slipped from her grasp.

She stared at the screen, wishing that it was all just a nightmare, that Alex’s next message would tell her that it was all a

misunderstanding.

She was yanked out of her daze when the second message arrived. “I’ve arranged for someone to pick you up. Be careful!”

It was brief, but the urgency was plain and unmistakable.

Sadie’s heart sank.

Alex would never joke about something like this. If he said that Laura was in critical condition, then it must be so.

Why had Noah kept this crucial information from her?

Her earlier gloom morphed into confusion and anger.

Why would Noah do such a thing?

But there was no time to dwell on it. Sadie took a deep breath to steady herself and calm her mind.

She couldn’t waste her energy blaming Noah; she needed to get to her grandmother as soon as possible.

Laura was her only source of support in this world. She couldn’t lose her.

When Sadie was finally calm enough to think clearly, she began to figure out a way to leave the hospital without a hitch.

Noah had gone to great lengths to prevent her from hearing such important news. It was only par for the course for him to have set up surveillance around her room, the entire hospital, even, just to keep an eye on her.

If she acted rashly, she might be discovered before she could actually do anything.

Just then, a series of knocks came at the door.

Sadie’s heart skipped a beat. She felt her body tense up, and her fingers tightened around her phone.

“Come in,” she called out in the calmest voice she could manage.

The door opened, and a young nurse walked in. She gave Sadie a professional smile as she walked over with a tray of

medications.

“I’m here to change your dressing, Miss Hudson,” the nurse said kindly.

Sadie said nothing and just watched her with wary eyes.

Sensing her apprehension, the nurse smiled again and said, “Please relax, Miss Hudson. I was sent by Mr. Howe to assist

you.”

Mr. Howe? Did she mean Alex?

Sadie’s eyes widened slightly. She peered at the nurse, trying to find out whether the latter was lying or not.

The nurse seemed to read her mind. She produced a note from her pocket and handed it to Sadie. “Mr. Howe asked me to

give this to you.”

Sadie took the note and quickly glanced at it. The handwriting was indeed Alex’s.

“Follow the plan, and be careful.”

Those few words were all it took to dispel most of Sadie’s doubts.

She looked back up at the nurse and nodded. “I see.”

The nurse breathed a small sigh of relief. “Please don’t worry, Miss Hudson. I will help you leave the hospital.” She drew closer and added in a quieter voice, “I brought an extra nurse’s uniform. Change into it, put on a mask, and follow me. The guards posted outside your door are changing shifts. They won’t be paying much attention. I already planned the route.

you’re going to take. Just do as I say, and you’ll be out of the hospital in no time.”

The nurse pointed outside, and Sadie’s gaze followed in the direction of her hand.

“You will go from here, walk straight down the corridor, then turn left at the end. You will go down the stairs and exit

through the back door on the first floor. Someone is already waiting there for you.”

Sadie listened carefully and made sure to memorize the nurse’s instructions.

She was going to take the risks–all for her grandmother’s sake.

“I understand,” Sadie said with resolve.

Getting out of bed, she quickly shed her hospital gown and slid into the nurse’s uniform. It was a bit loose on her, but it

had no significant impact on her movements.

Next, she put on the mask, which covered most of her face.

Sadie took a moment to stand in front of the mirror and observe her reflection.

“Miss Hudson, we need to go,” the nurse urged softly.

Sadie nodded and followed her out of the room.

Just as the nurse had predicted, the corridor was quiet except for their footfalls.

Even so, Sadie’s heart was pounding furiously inside her chest, and her palms had started to sweat.

She forced herself to stay calm, at least on the surface, and act like nothing was amiss.
