Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Misplaced Love

Noah turned his head towards his phone, his voice taking on a sharp, frosty edge. “Kyla can’t be left alone. Sadie, enough with these childish games.”

The word “childish” echoed, tightening an invisible grip around Sadie’s heart, the pain almost suffocating her.

Words failed her as she struggled to respond.

Then, with a harsh beep, the line went dead.

The relentless busy signal hammered in Sadie’s ears, each tone a nail driving into her dwindling hope.

Her gaze dropped. She was utterly crushed, her phone slipping through her trembling fingers.

Even if she were gasping for her last breath, she would never hold a place in Noah’s heart like Kyla did.

How the hell could he be this fucking cruel?

After all these years, it dawned on Sadie that her love had been tragically misplaced.

As her consciousness began to fade, a silhouette darted through the encroaching flames towards her.

“Sadie!” The voice, urgent and laden with profound concern, pierced the chaos.

Sadie’s eyes fluttered shut.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself lying in a hospital bed.

Opening her eyes, Sadie was greeted by the stark, blinding whiteness of the ceiling above, the acrid scent of disinfectant

assaulting her nostrils.

She attempted to shift her position, but a sharp sting from her injuries made her grimace painfully.

“Stay still. You’re hooked up to an IV.” A stiff, uneasy voice broke the silence beside her.

Turning towards the source, Sadie saw Alex.

Strands of his hair were burnt at the tips, his face was smudged with grime, and the collar of his shirt was charred.

There was no doubt he had walked through hell itself for her.

A rush of warmth flooded Sadie’s heart at the realization.

“You came for me, didn’t you?” she asked, her voice laden with certainty.

Catching a flicker of disappointment in her eyes, Alex nodded, his voice soft. “Yes, I did.”

He paused, as if he harbored more to say. “Noah must be caught up in something urgent; don’t think too much about it.”

“You don’t need to cover for him,” Sadie said, a gentle shake of her head dismissing his excuse as she let her eyes drift

closed once more.

Chapter 58 Misplaced Love

She had reached out to Noah, yet at her most desperate hour, he had chosen Kyla. The pain of that realization was sharper than any physical wound.

A moment of panic touched her features as she gingerly felt her abdomen. “Thank you for saving me,” she murmured, anxiety threading through her voice. “Is my baby…”

The thought of harm coming to her child was unbearable, the weight of potential guilt as a mother heavy on her soul.

Alex leaned in, his eyes alight with concern as he gently reassured her. “Your baby isn’t seriously injured, thankfully, but your pregnancy is somewhat precarious right now. You’re on medication to help stabilize things. The doctor mentioned that a few days of bed rest should set things right.”

Sadie exhaled, her shoulders dropping as the weight of her worry lifted slightly.

The baby was safe–that was all that mattered.

As she opened her mouth to express her gratitude, the abrupt ring of Alex’s phone cut her off.
