Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425 We’re Going

Home

Sadie took a step back, putting some distance between her and Noah.

The words she had spoken pierced through Noah’s heart like icy daggers, and he couldn’t help the pang of hurt he felt as he tried to explain. “Kyla-”

But Sadie refused to listen to his excuses. “Noah,” she interrupted, her eyes red–rimmed, her voice trembling. “What exactly am I to you? Does my grandmother’s life count for nothing in your eyes?”

Noah parted his lips to defend himself yet again, but this time, he was at a loss for words.

Ring! Ring! Ring! The sudden, urgent ringing of his phone broke through the tension.

Noah fished it out of his pocket, his brows drawing into a frown when he caught sight of the caller ID.

It was from the Wall Manor.

Noah pressed answer, and Gabriel’s anxious voice instantly came through the line. “Mr. Wall, your grandfather fainted all of a sudden. He is being rushed to the hospital as we speak.”

Noah’s fingers tightened around his phone. “I see. I’m on my way.” His voice was low and thick as he quickly ended the call.

He turned to Sadie with a complicated expression on his face. “Something urgent came up. I need to go. Please rest well. I’ll explain everything when I return, all right?”

Explain? What was there left to explain?

Sadie noted his anxiety and chuckled to herself in bitter irony. She said nothing though, and simply shot him a look of pure mockery.

Noah didn’t speak, either. After giving her one last, deep glance, he rushed out of the study.

Sadie’s hands slowly balled into fists. She presumed that he was running off to Kyla again.

Sadie had long since grown accustomed to such scenarios.

No matter the circumstances, Kyla’s calls always seemed to have the power to pull Noah away from whatever he was doing. Sadie gritted her teeth. What did the time they spent together even mean to that man?

Suddenly overcome with exhaustion, Sadie made her way to Averi’s room.

The boy’s face lit up when he spotted her, and his chubby face broke into a sweet grin. “Mommy, are you here to play with me?”

Sadie settled down beside him and ruffled his hair. “We’re going home, sweetheart.”

Averi blinked at her in confusion. “Home? Aren’t we already home?”

Sadie stared at her son’s innocent expression and felt her throat close up

sull, she fought back the tears and mustered a small smile. “This isn’t our home, honey. Mommy will take you to our real home, okay?

Avert didn’t quite understand the situation, but he bobbed his head like the good boy he was. “Okay! If you say so, Mommy.”

Breck loitered at the doorway the entire time, repeatedly trying and subsequently failing to speak up.

In the end, he could only watch as Sadie finished packing her and Averi’s things, took Averi out of the house, and left in a

taxi

The moment they were out of the sight, he grabbed the nearest servant and said, “Hurry and inform Mr. Wall about this!”

“Yes, Mr. Wagner.”

Before long, Sadie’s taxi pulled over at Laura’s apartment building. She stood downstairs for a while and just stared up at the familiar window.

At that point, she could no longer hold back, and tears streamed freely down her face.

She took Averi upstairs and unlocked the door.

Everything inside was as it had been–worn down, but strangely comforting.

“Mommy, where’s Great–grandma? Why isn’t she here?” Averi suddenly asked, clutching her hand.

Sadie stiffened at his questions.

She gazed down at her pure son and felt her heart twist inside her chest.

How should she go about explaining death to a child?

Sadie wrestled with her emotions for a moment before saying, “Great–grandma has moved to a distant place. It will be a long, long time before we see her again.”

Averi nodded, only partially understanding. “Like when Austin moved to another city?”

Sadie paused and hummed quietly.

She proceeded to unpack their things and tidy up the apartment a bit. Once Averi was fast asleep, she walked over to Laura’s favorite rocking chair. She slowly sat down.

The chair creaked gently, as Sadie rocked herself, almost as though her grandmother was still there, humming a tune to Jull her to sleep.

Sadie closed her eyes, savoring the sense of peace that had evaded her for the longest time. A few stray tears fell from her closed eyes and rolled down her cheeks.

The night deepened, and the rocking of the chair gradually slowed to a stop.

Before she knew it, Sadie had fallen asleep.

Meanwhile, Noah had arrived at the private hospital owned by the Wall family.

“How is my grandpa?” he asked, worry etched on his face.

The doctor removed his mask and heaved a heavy sigh. “Mr. Wall, I’m sorry to say that your grandfather has suffered a

sudden heart failure. We did our best, but I’m afraid he only has a few days left.”

Noah swallowed the lump in his throat, and he was silent for a while. “Keep this news under wraps for now. Tell Samuel

to keep an eye on the family branch in Zupren.”

“Understood, Mr. Wall.”

With that, the doctor took his leave, and Noah stepped into the hospital room.

Nigel had an oxygen mask on, the shadow of mortality looming over his hospital bed.
