Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Critical

Condition Notice

Just then, the resuscitation room doors burst open and a grave–looking doctor clad in a white coat stepped out, clutching a

document.

Sadie instantly knew what it was–a Critical Condition Notice.

Darkness clouded her vision, and she nearly collapsed, but the alert nurse at her side caught her in time.

The doctor, his face somber as he lowered his mask, spoke with deep regret. “Your grandmother’s pre–existing health conditions compounded the severity of this attack. We’ve exhausted all our options…”

“Doctor, please, there must be something you can do to save her,” Sadie pleaded desperately, her hands clasping the doctor’s arm as if it were her last strand of hope. “I’ll cover any cost. Just please, save her!”

The doctor’s eyes softened with sympathy for a moment before he shook his head. “It’s not a question of money. She’s in

a precarious state unless…”

He hesitated, searching for the right words. “If we could bring in a top specialist to attempt the surgery, there might still be hope.”

A top specialist.

Noah immediately sprang to mind.

With his extensive connections as CEO of Wall Group, securing a top surgeon should be feasible.

Sadie’s heart clenched painfully as panic set in.

She fumbled for her phone and dialed Noah’s number, her fingers shaking.

Each ring echoed like a tolling bell in her ears, every tick of the clock magnified.

At last, the call connected.

“Noah, be gentle…”

The voice that floated through the phone was sultry, infused with a lazy allure that sank Sadie’s heart into despair.

It wasn’t Noah on the line- it was Kyla!

Sadie’s mind went completely blank.

After a while, Kyla spoke into the phone. “Sadie, calling at this hour? Is there something you needed to discuss?”

Sadie inhaled sharply, fighting to stabilize the emotional storm brewing inside her. “I need to speak with Noah. Could you please hand him the phone?”

Chapter 43 Critical Condition Notice

“Oh?” Kyla chuckled, her voice dripping with taunting. “Noah, your phone.”

But all Sadie heard was silence.

Kyla’s voice turned playful and teasing. “Noah-”

Yet again, there was no reply..

“My apologies, Sadie,” Kyla said, her tone superficially regretful yet tinged with evident delight. “Noah’s currently in the

shower. We’ve just finished… Well, he’s exhausted now. If there’s something urgent, you can tell me, and I’ll make sure he

gets the message.”

Sadie felt a crushing wave of despair wash over her.

She grasped the subtext in Kyla’s remarks instantly.

Shower? Exhausted?

Kyla’s comments were a clear display of her closeness with Noah, meant to emphasize Sadie was someone insignificant.

Yet, with her grandmother’s critical condition looming in her mind, Sadie couldn’t afford to lose any hope.
