Chapter 444 Grateful
“Leave it to me. I will make sure Alex agrees.” Then Sutton turned to Briley and said, “I’m counting on you to make this
work, Briley.”
Her head jerked up, and she stared at him in surprise and bewilderment. She wasn’t expecting the conversation to suddenly shift in her direction. “Me?” she squeaked.
Sutton’s tone was firm. “Yes, you. You need to find a way to make Alex fall for you. If you manage to marry him, our
family will have a shot at turning things around.”
“Briley,” Coyle chimed in eagerly, “this is for the good of the family. Once you marry Alex, everything the Wall family has
will be yours.”
Briley frowned and bit her lower lip, but she eventually nodded. “I understand. I will do my best.”
Sutton pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her. “That’s Alex’s itinerary for the next week. Make sure you study it, then find a way to get close to him. Remember, we can’t afford any mistakes this time!”
Briley did just that, memorizing the schedule like it was the Bible.
It wasn’t that hard, really, since winning a man’s heart was a skill she had long since mastered.
Meanwhile, Sadie returned to Myrtlewood Estate.
After three years, the once bustling property was now eerily silent.
Breck approached as soon as she walked through the door. “Good evening. Would you like us to cook something for you?”
He assumed that she was going to work late again.
Sadie paused for a moment, then nodded. “Just something light, please. Thank you.”
She changed into her house slippers and went upstairs to her study.
She had barely sat behind her desk when her phone rang.
It was Alex.
“Sadie, I’ve booked a restaurant. Shall we have a meal together tomorrow?”
He sounded so expectant on the line. Sadie’s first instinct was to decline, but he quickly added, “Oh, and I’ve found another specialist known to be an expert in treating comatose patients.”
The mention of this specialist made her pause, and after mulling it over, she finally agreed.
“All right.”
Alex had been helping her these last three years, looking for experts and sending them one after another to Rosewood
Hospital.
Although the results were always disappointing, she was still very grateful to him.

“Great! See you tomorrow at lunch?”
“Sure thing.”
Sadie hung up and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, her eyes distant and dazed.
After three whole years, Noah still hadn’t woken up. But she needed to be strong; she had to keep the Wall Group afloat
while he was gone..
When noon rolled around the next day, Sadie gathered her purse and went to the restaurant Alex had booked.

It was a cozy establishment that had an romantic vibe going on.
Not that Sadie had any interest in that sort of thing. Her eyes immediately went to the man sitting by the window.
Today, he wore a cream–colored suit, looking elegant and refined.
Beside him was a middle–aged man, presumably the specialist he had mentioned the previous night.
Alex noticed Sadie as she drew nearer. He smiled and waved at her.
The middle–aged man stood up when she reached the table, and extended his hand to Sadie. “Ms. Hudson.”
“This is Quinton Ross,” Alex introduced with a pleasant smile. “You can call him Dr. Ross. He’s the one I told you about.”
“Please have a seat, Ms. Hudson,” Quinton said politely. He gestured to one of the empty two chairs, and Sadie took the one
opposite Alex.
“Thank you for giving us your time, Dr. Ross.”
“It’s not trouble,” Quinton replied with a wave of his hand, then began speaking at length.
He discussed various cases of comatose patients and medical theories. He did sound very knowledgeable in the area.
Sadie listened quietly, nodding every now and then.
