Chapter 426 All By Herself
In the days that followed, it seemed like Noah had disappeared from the face of the earth.
Sadie took care of all the funeral preparations on her own, working on nothing more than sheer determination.
She had lost some weight, her eyes were constantly red in the corners, but she hadn’t shed another tear so far.
At the funeral, Alex came by. His concern was clear right from the start.
“I offer my condolences, Sadie,” he said softly, kind and gentle as ever. “I hope you find peace in the midst of your loss.”
When Sadie looked at him, her eyes were vacant and distant. “Thank you, Alex.”
Seeing her like this broke his heart.
Alex wanted to gather her into his arms and offer a bit of comfort, but he stopped himself at the last second. He didn’t
want to make her uncomfortable.
“If you need help with anything, just let me know. Don’t try to carry it all by yourself.”
“I’m fine,” Sadie said. “Truly.” No matter how generous Alex was, she didn’t want to burden him with her problems. More
importantly, she didn’t want to owe anyone anything.
“Thank you for coming to see my grandma. You must be busy with work matters. You should head back.” Sadie was no longer looking at Alex, and her voice was hushed. She was dismissing him.
Sure enough, she brushed past him without waiting for his reply, and not once did she look back.
Alex’s emotions roiled inside him.
Once the funeral was over, Sadie went to the Social Security Bureau alone to handle the termination of her grandmother’s
social security benefits.
When she left less than an hour later, she headed to her grandma’s apartment in a daze.
She was approaching the building when a familiar figure caught her eyes.
Samuel.
He seemed to have spotted her at the same time, as he immediately walked up to her.
“Mrs. Wall…” Samuel began, only to trail off, as though weighing his next words.
Not that it mattered to Sadie. She ignored him entirely and didn’t even break her stride as she continued walking.
“Mrs. Wall!” Samuel called out, his tone urgent this time.
That finally made Sadie pause, though she didn’t bother to turn around.
“Mrs. Wall, Mr. Wall has been preoccupied with very important matters these past few days. Hence, his absence at Mrs.

Stewart’s funeral.” There was a tinge of desperation in Samuel’s voice as he explained. “This apartment is not suitable for you and Averi. Why don’t I arrange for some staff to take care of you and Averi?”
Sadie did turn around then, slowly, her face blank. “That won’t be necessary. Tell Mr. Wall to spend all the time he wants
with Miss Wade.”
Whatever Noah did or whoever he did it with no longer mattered to her.
“As for Kyla…” Sadie paused, unable to hide the hatred in her eyes. “I will make sure she faces the consequences.”
Samuel wanted to say more, but Sadie had already walked off and soon disappeared from sight.
He sighed heavily to himself. Some things needed to be explained by Mr. Wall himself.
Samuel took out his phone and made a call.
“Mrs. Wall is at her grandma’s apartment. Send some people here to watch over her. Tell them to be discreet. It’s imperative that nothing happens to her and her son.”
After giving the instructions, Samuel hung up and left the premises.
Meanwhile, Sadie had already reached her floor and opened the door to the apartment.
She padded into the living room. Everything was just as it should be.
