Chapter 450 Call An
Ambulance
At a suburban villa.
Noah headed straight to his study after he got home.
He approached the floor–to–ceiling window and lit a cigarette, which glowed near his fingertips.
The taste of nicotine filled his lungs, easing the unrest in his heart.
He picked up the phone and dialed.
“Find out where Sadie went.”
Within ten minutes, he had an answer.
“Mr. Noel, Ms. Hudson went to Zupren.”
Zupren?
Noah paused, surprised.
Why would she suddenly go to Zupren?
“Find out what she’s up to there and report back to me.”
After hanging up, Noah furrowed his brow.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that he was losing grip on something.
Someone knocked on the study door.
“Come in,” he said indifferently.
Hailey entered with a glass of red wine, smiling warmly.
“Noah, the day must have exhausted you. Relax a little.”
Noah accepted the wine but set it down on the table next to him.
“Hailey, is there something you need?” he asked, his voice still distant but polite.
“Noah, even though we married abroad, I’ve heard the wedding customs here are quite different. What if we had another
ceremony?” Hailey’s eyes shone with hope as she looked up at him.
Noah’s mind was elsewhere.
“OK,” he responded, distracted.
At his agreement, Hailey’s face lit up with joy.

“Really? Noah, you are so sweet!”
Excited, she hurried out to start planning the ceremony.
She was eager to have her status as Noah’s wife acknowledged at home too!
Noah massaged his temples, feeling as if he had forgotten something important.
A wedding ceremony?
Why did he feel like he had already had one here?
Two days later, at Jazmah Airport, Sadie clutched a box, looking exhausted.
She stepped out from the VIP passage, her slender figure cloaked in a black coat, appearing even more delicate.
“Ms. Hudson,” Samuel hurried to her side and said, “everything is prepared at the Wall Manor.”
Sadie nodded and gently caressed the box in her arms.
“Noah, we are back.”
As she settled into the car, it slowly pulled away from the airport.
Sadie stared out the window, her eyes vacant and forlorn.
The cityscape rolled by, unchanged from when she left.
But the person she had loved deeply was gone.
As the car pulled into Wall Manor, Sadie noticed the funeral preparations were complete.
White roses contributed to the solemn atmosphere.
Isabel’s eyes filled with tears when she saw the urn Sadie was carrying.
“Noah…”
Gently, Sadie patted her back.
Although Sadie’s eyes burned, she fought the tears.
Now was not the time for crying.
There was still much to do.
Isabel took Sadie’s hand and led her into the living room, where Noah’s portrait was prominently displayed.
In the photo, Noah’s eyes were kind, and his smile slight.
He was truly gone.
Isabel wept for a while before she began to settle down.
She grasped Sadie’s hand and sat beside her.
“Sadie, you’ve been through so much these past days. You must be exhausted.”

Her voice was raspy with deep concern.
Sadie shook her head.
“Isabel, I’m fine.”
“Poor girl…” Isabel understood Sadie was maintaining a strong front, yet her grief was likely more profound than anyone
could know.
“If you need to cry, just let it out,” Isabel said, her expression filled with worry. “Don’t hold it back.”
