Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 I’m Dying

Noah moved quickly, following the nurse’s commands. His strong, slender hands pressed down on Kyla’s hands firmly.

Kyla’s voice was a fragile murmur. “Noah… I feel terrible…”

Noah’s brow furrowed in immediate worry. “Kyla, stay with me. The doctors will take care of you.”

Kyla’s fingers twitched, as she weakly tried to hold his hands, but Noah intentionally pulled away. Instead, he pressed her wrists firmly, making sure she didn’t pull off her oxygen mask.

Noah’s focus was absolute; his eyes locked on Kyla with an intensity that made everything else in the room seem distant and irrelevant. It was as if the world had narrowed down to just him and her.

Kyla, despite the pain, felt a twisted satisfaction deep inside. As long as she kept Noah occupied, Sadie wouldn’t get the help she needed. She would die.

Meanwhile, Sadie sat in the self–driving car, unease gnawing at her. Something didn’t sit right. Was it just a coincidence that she ran into Kyla twice in the hospital? And who had sent her grandma those photos and the letter? Who could know so much about her life, her family? It had to be… Kyla, right?

Before Sadie could process the thought, a car ran a red light and smashed into the side of her vehicle with a deafening bang!

Everything flipped; Sadie was thrown around like a rag doll, her body slamming violently with every jolt.

Panic surged through her as she instinctively wrapped her arms protectively around her abdomen.

Her head hit the window hard, the impact sending a jolt of searing pain through her skull. Blood streamed down her

forehead, her vision blurring as she struggled to focus.

Through the pain, Sadie noticed flames were licking at the car’s exterior, getting dangerously close.

Fear gripped her heart, freezing her in place. Her breath caught, shallow and quick. The seatbelt and airbag had trapped her,

and the door was pinned to the ground.

Sadie’s fingers twitched, the only part of her body still free. She could feel the warmth of the fire creeping closer, and a

cold realization hit her: if she didn’t get out, the flames would consume her and the baby along with her.

“Help…” Sadie’s voice was barely audible, a faint whisper against the overwhelming roar of flames.

Every breath felt like she was inhaling fire itself, the smoke stinging her lungs and clouding her thoughts.

Sadie’s body felt numb, yet she forced her trembling fingers to find her phone. The screen was smeared with her blood, a

cruel reminder of the danger she was in. Desperation surged through her, and she pressed the power button three times

with frantic urgency.

The phone dialed Noah, her emergency contact. She had set this up long ago, believing he’d always be there when she

needed him most. Now, in this burning wreck, he was her only hope.

Each ring seemed to drag on forever, the silence more deafening than the flames.

The car was slowly being consumed by fire, and the smoke was ‘choking her.

Time was running out.

Sadie dialed again, panic clawing at her chest.

Every ring felt like a knife twisting in her chest.

Her heart pounded louder in her chest, begging Noah to answer. Please, just pick it up.
