Chapter 431 Not Strong Enough To Get Up
Alex froze.
Had Noah’s condition been such a crushing blow to Sadie? Was the weight of it so unbearable that she preferred to remain unconscious rather than face reality?
Suddenly, Alex straightened, realizing that Sadie’s deepest concern had to be Averi.
Without hesitation, he instructed Stan to bring the child over. Averi dashed to the bedside, his tiny voice repeatedly calling, “Mommy,” while tears streamed down his cheeks.
Yet, Sadie remained motionless.
“Alex, what’s wrong with Mommy?” Averi’s worried eyes, reddened from crying, searched Alex’s face.
A pang of sorrow tightened Alex’s chest. He knelt beside the boy, gently stroking his hair. “Averi, don’t worry. Mommy is just resting. When she wakes up, she’ll play with you again.”
Averi nodded, his small fingers gripping Alex’s coat tightly.
“I’ll wait with you until Mommy wakes up.”
Sadie remained unconscious, her face contorted with distress.
In the depths of her mind, only darkness existed.
She ran frantically, searching for a way out, but there was none.
Then, a faint light emerged ahead.
She sprinted toward it, clinging to the hope it offered.
As it drew nearer, its shape became clearer–a tall figure.
It was Noah.
He stood there, his presence commanding attention, yet distant.
Sadie’s heart pounded. “Noah! Noah!” she called desperately.
But he didn’t react. He remained still, as if unaware of her presence.
She rushed forward, reaching for his coat, but her fingers passed through him.
He wasn’t real–just a shadow.
“Noah, please look at me!” she pleaded, her voice cracking with anguish.

Slowly, he turned, his gaze cold and unfamiliar, as if she were a stranger.
Then, he stepped back.
“No! Don’t leave me, Noah!” Sadie screamed, chasing after him. But no matter how fast she ran, she couldn’t reach him.
She watched helplessly as he grew more distant, eventually disappearing into the darkness.
Unable to hold on any longer, she collapsed to the ground, sobbing.
“Noah…”
A voice–soft yet familiar–echoed around her.
Suddenly, consciousness returned. The brightness of the hospital room overwhelmed her senses as her eyes fluttered open.
Alex, Averi, and Samuel stood at her bedside.
“Mommy! You’re awake!” Averi cried, throwing his arms around her.
Samuel exhaled in relief. “Thank goodness, ma’am, you’re awake.”
Sadie blinked, her mind struggling to clear.
Noah had been struck by a car, Nigel was gone, and she had lost consciousness.
As her thoughts slowly pieced themselves together, a sharp pain gripped her chest, making it hard to breathe.
“Where is Noah? How is he?” she asked, her voice unsteady.
Samuel hesitated, seeing the desperation in h
the
pale face. It pained him to say it, but he had no choice. “Mrs. Isabel Wall
arranged for Mr. Wall to be transferred to Rosewood Hospital in Zupren.”
Sadie froze, her entire body going numb.
She knew that facility–it specialized in treating patients in unresponsive states. Was Noah in a vegetative state now?
No! She refused to accept it. She needed to see him, to confirm it herself.
Without thinking, she threw the blankets aside and attempted to stand.
