Chapter 419 A Bit Late
Laura had overheard everything in the cafe.
Three years ago?
Her granddaughter Sadie had actually faced so much injustice three years ago!
Determined not to let Sadie suffer any further, Laura resolved to confront Kyla.
Kyla wiped her tears away.
She couldn’t just abandon everything in Jazmah; as long as she could buy some time, there was still a chance to turn things around.
She staggered out of the cafe and headed towards the sidewalk.
Laura stepped out from behind the greenery, thermos in hand, and quickly followed Kyla.
At the traffic light, Kyla stood waiting impatiently.
“Miss, please wait a moment,” Laura, catching her breath, called out as she approached.
Kyla turned, annoyance creasing her brow at the sight of an elderly lady with a thermos.
She didn’t recognize Laura.
“Do you need something?” Kyla asked, her tone brusque.
“I’m Sadie’s grandmother,” Laura explained, her voice as kind and gentle as she could manage. “I overheard your
conversation in the cafe just now.”
Kyla’s complexion turned ashen.
She remembered Laura now.
It was because of her that Noah had almost ended her life back then.
“Miss, please let it go,” Laura implored earnestly, “Forcing someone’s affection is futile. Noah doesn’t love you. Clinging to
him won’t change his feelings.”
A sinister look flickered in Kyla’s eyes.
Let go?
How could she let go?
How could she possibly let go after everything she’d sacrificed for Noah?
“Please, stop harming Sadie. She’s innocent and doesn’t deserve this. I’m begging you, please!”
“Innocent?” Kyla scoffed, her voice laced with scorn. “She took everything from me, and you call her innocent?”

Chapter 419 A Bit Late
Her anger surged, and she glared at Laura with intense disdain.
In her mind, all her misfortunes were because of Sadie.
“Get out of my way!”
Kyla shoved Laura aside and attempted to leave.
Laura lost her balance and staggered, crying out as she nearly fell. “Ah!”
At that moment, a car sped toward them.
Laura was struck and sent flying through the air, landing hard on the ground.
The thermos she had been carrying tumbled from her grasp, its contents spilling across the pavement.
It all happened in a flash.
Kyla stood frozen, her mind blank from shock.
After a moment, she stumbled back, then turned and fled into the crowd.
Laura’s consciousness began to wane.
She struggled to remain awake, her eyes on Kyla’s retreating figure.
Finally, her eyes slowly closed.
At the hospital.
“Excuse me, how is Amy Flores doing?” Sadie inquired of a nurse, urgency tinting her voice.
The nurse checked her clipboard and offered a reassuring smile. “Ms. Flores’s surgery was very successful. The brain specialists Mr. Wall brought from abroad managed to repair the damaged nerves. If her recovery goes well, she should be waking up soon.”
Sadie was surprised.
Noah had taken her back to Myrtlewood Estate for a meal before letting her come to the hospital because he wanted to
surprise her?
A warm feeling surged in her heart.
Suddenly, she felt a twitch in her chest.
What was happening?
Her chest tightened.
It felt as though something significant had occurred.
Sadie walked away quietly, taking a moment to compose herself.
Since Noah had helped her, she pulled out her phone, dialing his number as she exited the hospital.
As she walked past the emergency room, a gurney sped by. Something hard dropped onto the floor near Sadie’s feet.
Instinctively, she glanced down.
A familiar jade pendant lay silently at her feet.

It was a white magnolia, the very keepsake Laura always kept close, a gift from her grandfather symbolizing their affe never leaving her side.
