Chapter 53 Stealing This
Woman’s Husband
Jim wore a look that conveyed mixed feelings. He paused, weighing his words, then asked, “Sooner or later, the truth will
surface. What’s your next move?”
Sadie’s eyes lingered on the pristine white of her quilt. A resolve solidified within her as she said, “I will divorce Noah as soon as possible. And this child, I’m raising them by myself.”
Jim, visibly startled, struggled to grasp her resolution.
“You… you’re planning to raise the baby on your own?” he asked, stunned. “That won’t be easy.”
Beneath the quilt, Sadie caressed her abdomen, feeling the stir of new life. A smile, small yet resolute, formed on her lips.
“Each child brings a blessing,” she said softly, her voice resonant with determination. “This child picked me to be their mother, and I will shoulder that responsibility. They may not have a father, but I will ensure they feel double the love from
me.”
After a brief silence, Jim accepted her choice with a nod. “Okay, if you’re sure that’s what want.”
With a gentle nod, Sadie expressed her gratitude through a smile.
Jim exited the hospital room quietly, softly clicking the door shut.

He pondered whether Noah would one day lament the loss of such a remarkable woman. Unlikely.
Recalling Noah’s lack of empathy, Jim shook his head in disappointment and sighed softly.
He pulled out a prescription pad and wrote down the names of some medications.
On the surface, they looked like simple vitamins to help Sadie recover, but in reality, they were meant to protect her
pregnancy.
Later that day, as Sadie sat in the hospital canteen, her phone rang with an unexpected call from a nurse.
“Miss Hudson, your grandmother is now awake.”
At the news, Sadie felt a surge of happiness displace her grief instantly.
“Is that true? I’m on my way!”
She dashed towards Laura’s hospital room.
A clinical scent lingered in the air, and the stark white linens contrasted sharply with Laura’s pallid complexion.
As Sadie gripped Laura’s delicate hand, her tears began to flow.
“Grandma, it’s such a relief to see your eyes open! I was terrified when you collapsed. What caused your heart attack?”

Sadie’s voice trembled with emotion.
Laura had always been healthy, without a history of heart issues, making the attack all the more baffling to Sadie.
With her other hand, Laura reached out to brush away Sadie’s tears. Her eyes brimmed with tears, too.
“Sadie, have you been keeping secrets from me?” whispered Laura weakly.
Frozen by the question, Sadie responded, “What?”
Laura’s eyes searched Sadie’s, conveying deep concern.
