Chapter 64 His Heart Belonged To Kyla.
The nurse grabbed Noah’s arm. “This is a hospital, not a theater for your
your dramas!”
With a decisive tug, she escorted Noah out of the room, the door slamming shut with a resonant thud, sealing him off.
The corridor was silent except for the whistle of the cold wind entering through an open window at its end. The chill it brought was sharp, yet it barely touched the deeper cold spreading through Noah.
He was always shielded by his privilege, and such dismissive treatment was foreign to him.
He peered through the door’s glass, his gaze landing on Alex, who was dabbing at the blood trickling from his lip.
The starkness of the red against his skin was startling.
Nearby, Sadie offered him a tissue, her eyes brimming with concern–a look that once was reserved for Noah.
A jagged pain carved through his heart.
Fists balled at his sides, knuckles blanching, Noah lingered outside, the weight of his thoughts anchoring him in place.

As he wrestled with his thoughts, his phone shattered the silence, its abrupt ringtone slicing through the air.
“Mother” flashed across the screen.
He hesitated, then answered with a tentative, “Hello?”
“I heard Kyla had a heart attack? How is she? Is she feeling better?” Isabel’s voice crackled through the line, each word laced with palpable urgency.
Noah’s irritability peaked as he gave a terse “yes” in response.
Isabel’s voice sharpened with concern. “Why this cold indifference, Noah? Kyla developed a heart condition saving your life. You should be by her side, caring for her deeply!”
