Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 He Didn’t

Deserve Her Care

As Sadie’s sorrowful confession hung in the air, Noah’s attention wavered. The fruit knife he was handling slipped, gouging a deep wound into his fingertip.

A stream of blood trickled down, staining the apple’s flesh and spattering the pristine white bedsheet with startling crimson drops.

Oblivious to the pain, Noah remained transfixed by Sadie’s desolate tone until Kyla’s alarmed voice broke through his reverie. “Oh, Noah, you’ve hurt yourself!” she exclaimed, her concern palpable.

Yet, Noah paid her no mind. His gaze remained intensely on Sadie, his eyes shimmering with unspoken agony.

It was as though he was searching for a clue in her features, yet he hesitated to meet her gaze directly, fearing the vulnerability it might expose.

Kyla tugged gently at Noah’s sleeve, her voice sweet yet insistent. “We should clean that wound and maybe get a tetanus shot. It looks pretty deep, and it definitely needs some bandaging.”

Noah, however, didn’t respond, his gaze fixed on Sadie, seemingly oblivious to Kyla’s concern.

With a subtle bite of her lip, masking her rising jealousy, Kyla turned to Sadie and pleaded, “Sadie, could you please tell Noah to see a doctor? He’ll listen if it’s coming from you.”

Sadie offered Kyla a mocking smile before her eyes settled on Noah with a serene expression, as if untouched by the

tension.

Looking at Noah with a cold indifference that was uncharacteristic of her, she declared, “Noah, whether you’re bleeding is entirely your own issue. You could bleed out for all I care; it wouldn’t matter to me one bit.”

Noah stared at her, eyes wide with shock.

Sadie had never spoken to him with such disdain before.

Kyla’s brow furrowed in disapproval as she turned to Sadie, her tone laced with reproach. “Sadie, how can you be so indifferent? Noah cut himself while peeling that apple for you. Shouldn’t you show a little concern?”

Sadie scoffed, amusement twinkling in her eyes, “Concern? Really, Kyla, let’s not be dramatic. How did Noah react when I was in that car accident? And now you expect me to fuss over his minor cut?”

She stared at Noah, her gaze icy and detached. “Noah, really, do you think you deserve my concern after all that?”

Noah averted his eyes, a flush of guilt washing over his face.

He clenched his jaw, inhaled sharply, and stood up. His voice was firm, devoid of warmth as he addressed Kyla. “We should head to the trauma department.”

It was as if the vulnerability he briefly showed had been nothing but a fleeting shadow.

Sadie watched their retreating figures, a smirk playing on her lips as they approached the door.

Her marriage seemed nothing more than a bitter joke.

In her heart, she wished she could erase these two from her life completely.

Just as she relished the new–found calm, a familiar voice rang out. “Sadie, I’m here. It’s time for your IV. I’ll keep an eye on it so it doesn’t run dry–just like I promised.”

At the sound of that familiar voice, Sadie’s gaze darted toward the door where she spotted Noah, Kyla, and Alex in a

standstill.

Noah and Kyla seemed on the verge of departing as Alex made his attempt to enter.

The moment was charged with an uncomfortable silence, the tension almost tangible in the air.

Sadie exhaled a weary sigh.

Memories of yesterday’s clash between Noah and Alex flashed in her mind, fueling her concern that Noah might lose his

composure once more.

“Come on in, Alex,” Sadie called out, her voice tinged with urgency, breaking the stillness.

Noah’s expression soured, his brows knitting together in clear annoyance.
