Chapter 382 Finding Out
The Truth
Despite his young age, Averi showed remarkable maturity. He understood that if his mother chose not to discuss
something, it was best not to press her.
As Sadie observed Averi’s considerate behavior, a wave of bitterness washed over her.
She yearned to provide Averi with a complete family and a joyful childhood.
Yet, reality was often unforgiving.
The relationship between her and Noah was laden with misunderstandings and pain.
She doubted whether things could ever return to how they once were. Nor did she know how to face Noah.
Embracing Averi tightly, Sadie whispered into his ear, “Averi, Mommy will always protect you. I’ll never leave you.” Her
voice was both resolute and tender.
This was her vow to Averi and to herself.
No matter what challenges the future might bring, she was determined to face them courageously, for Averi and for her
own sake.
Late into the night, Noah returned to the hospital.
He entered the room silently and found Sadie and Averi asleep.
Sadie clutched Averi close, her expression one of weary devotion.
A surge of affection washed over Noah.
He approached the bed, seated himself quietly, and gazed at Sadie.
His look was soft and intense, as if he was trying to capture and preserve her image forever.
He reached out to gently stroke Sadie’s cheek, savoring the softness of her skin.
His touch was feather–light. He was careful not to disturb her sleep.
Meanwhile, at the Howe family’s villa, the atmosphere was tense and silent.
In the darkness of his room, Alex sat by the window, his phone’s screen the only light, displaying the continuous flow of news. “Sadie was kidnapped…”
“Damn it!” he muttered, his frustration manifesting in a punch against the wall.
He had never expected the situation to escalate so dramatically.
Furthermore, he found it hard to believe that his father, whom he had always looked up to, could be involved in something

so drastic
“This can’t be just my father’s doing..” Alex mused, his brow furrowed in thought. “Aliza… She must have orchestrated this. No, I need to uncover the truth.”
With that resolve, Alex stood up abruptly.
He couldn’t sit idly by, he felt compelled to act on Sadie’s behalf.
Alex took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves.
He started to replay recent events in his mind, attempting to connect any dots.
He recalled his mother’s sudden disappearance, his father’s shifting demeanor, Aliza’s increasing presence, and those enigmatic phone calls.
Gradually, one clue linked to another in his mind.
The more Alex pondered, the more alarmed and angry he became.
He found it hard to accept that the father he had trusted could become such a monstrous figure.
“I need to find proof.” Alex’s hands clenched into fists, his nails digging into his palms.
He was determined to reveal his father’s and Aliza’s true natures and to obtain justice for Sadie.
Alex quietly opened his door and stepped into the hallway.
The hallway was deserted and unnervingly silent.
With his heart pounding, he tiptoed toward his father’s study, convinced it contained many secrets.
The door to the study was shut tight, making his heart beat even faster.
He took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open.
Inside, the room was enveloped in darkness, unlit and still.
Guided by the meager moonlight, Alex felt his way forward.
He reached the desk and started rummaging through it.
“What are you doing, Alex?” A cold voice suddenly cut through the silence.
Alex froze, slowly turning around.
Terrance stood in the doorway, his expression dark and foreboding.
“I…” Alex was caught off guard; he hadn’t anticipated his father’s sudden appearance.
“I asked what you are doing.” Terrance’s voice grew louder, tinged with anger.
