Chapter 556 You Aren’t Expecting, Are You
The words held a deeper significance.
Jarrett sneered inwardly.
He was uncertain about Nathan, but Patrick, standing before him, was definitely a challenge.
And Jarrett could feel the complexity of Sadie and Patrick’s relationship.
His gaze became slightly darker.
However, for the moment, their common enemies were Nathan and Sadie. It seemed harmless to collaborate temporarily with Patrick.
“Of course, Mr. Noel, since it interests you, I’ll share the details.”
He sketched out his plans briefly.
Noah listened in silence, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth beneath his mask.
Perfect.
If Jarrett remained consistent, everything else would align.
What about Sadie?
The memory of her pale face as she fled haunted him, darkening his gaze.
Meanwhile, in the restroom, Sadie clutched the icy rim of the sink. A violent episode of vomiting had left her feeling hollow, with a persistent sour taste.
She turned the faucet, gathered some water, and splashed it on her face to refresh herself.
Footsteps echoed behind her.
Nathan entered with caution, his face still marked by redness and swelling.
He handed a tissue to her gently.
“Ms. Hudson, are you all right? You seem uncomfortable.”
Accepting the tissue, Sadie wiped her mouth.
She nodded her head, her voice feeble. “I’m fine.”
She had been feeling off lately.
Fatigue was constant, her appetite was lacking, and the mere sight of meat or oily foods made her stomach churn with

nausea.
This sensation…
Nathan watched her, his face etched with concern.
Then, as if a thought had suddenly occurred to him, his eyes lit up. With a tentative and speculative tone, he said, “Ms. Hudson, you–you aren’t expecting, are you?”
His words struck Sadie forcefully.
She snapped her head up, disbelief widening her eyes.
Impossible!
Instinctively, her hand went to her flat stomach.
No feeling there.
Yet her mind raced, as she recalled recent events.
The tiredness, the revulsion at meat, and the sudden nausea just now.
These symptoms were strikingly similar to what she experienced during her previous pregnancy with Averi.
No, it couldn’t be!
Nathan saw Sadie lost in thought, and his heart raced. Panic welled up within him.
Damn it!
Had he unwittingly blurted out the truth?
Sadie Hudson, chairwoman of Wall Group, a widow, was pregnant?
Should this news leak, it would spark a scandal of enormous proportions.
Was he, a minor player in this drama, now privy to a dark secret among the elite?
In TV dramas, characters like him who knew too much often met early ends at the hands of the protagonists!
Could he be at risk for knowing too much?
The more he pondered, the more his fear grew.
Acting on instinct, he covered his mouth with his hands, eyes wide with fear.
Sadie collected herself.
She dropped her hand, her face returning to its usual poise.
“Stop saying nonsense.”
She glanced briefly at Nathan.
“It’s likely just exhaustion and some gastritis. I’m not feeling well. I need to rest back at the hotel.”
Nathan nodded eagerly, his hands still over his mouth as he murmured, “Of course! I’ll drive you.”
As long as it kept him safe, he was ready to comply with her wishes.
