Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52 For Keeping The Baby A Secret From Noah

“Thanks, but I don’t feel like eating,” Sadie murmured.

At her words, Kyla’s eyes brimmed with tears, her expression on the verge of breaking down.

“I’m sorry for intruding and causing you distress. This is all my fault,” she murmured, her lip quivering and shoulders shaking, as if she had been deeply wronged.

Sadie watched her, the feigned vulnerability from Kyla unsettling the peace in her heart.

She found herself at a loss for words, sensing that whatever she might say would be inconsequential.

Suddenly, the room’s silence was broken by the health monitor beside the bed, which started to beep sharply.

Jim entered swiftly, a look of concern etched on his face.

“The patient needs to be undisturbed for her rest,” he said firmly.

A look of irritation crossed Jim’s face as he glanced pointedly at Kyla.

Caught in her act of exaggerated frailty, Kyla felt uncomfortable. She hadn’t anticipated her actions would lead to accusations of really disturbing Sadie.

Her eyes welled up again as she looked to Noah for support, biting her lip in apparent distress.

Noah remained focused on Sadie, ignoring Kyla’s emotional display, as he asked Jim, “Have the test results come in yet? What’s the status of Sadie’s health?”

Sadie felt a pang of despair at his words.

Tightly gripping the quilt, Sadie attempted to sit up, her movements laced with anxiety. “Dr. Archer…”

She harbored a secret she didn’t want Noah to discover–her pregnancy.

Jim glanced at Noah and then Kyla, allowing a heavy silence to settle before he said, “Her life isn’t in danger. She needs to focus on resting.”

Noah’s expression darkened with concern, his voice tinged with skepticism. “She’s been experiencing nausea and fainting. Are you sure she’s fine?”

Jim met Sadie’s anxious gaze, took a deliberate breath, and affirmed with certainty. “She’s alright, just overly fatigued and in need of rest.”

Noah’s frown deepened.

He sensed something amiss in Jim’s assessment but respected his medical expertise.

The room fell into a tense quiet.

Sadie felt a burden lift slightly from her shoulders.

She exhaled wearily and murmured, “Please, everyone, leave. I need to rest.”

Noah hesitated, words on the tip of his tongue, but he restrained himself, recalling Jim’s earlier advice.

He rose, his presence looming over Sadie, and whispered reassuringly, “Rest now. Don’t worry about anything. The man from last night won’t bother you again; he’s been arrested.”
