Kyla said, her voice heavy with suggestion, “We’re in a hospital, crowded with people at all hours. Even if they were overwhelmed by their desires, they wouldn’t dare cross the line here.”

She was subtly throwing shade at Sadie with her sly remarks.

Noah’s expression darkened, his voice tinged with impatience and disbelief. “Sadie isn’t the type to act inappropriately,” he asserted firmly.

He didn’t believe Sadie would behave immorally. What truly irked him was the sharp contrast in how Sadie treated him compared to Alex.

Kyla hadn’t anticipated Noah’s instinctive rush to defend Sadie.

A flash of jealousy surged through her, her fingertips pressing into her palm hard enough to leave marks, though her face remained composed with a gentle, considerate smile.

“Perhaps I’m overthinking things. Sorry about that,” she murmured, her voice soft but strained.

Together, they continued walking toward the department of traumatology.

With each step, Kyla’s resolve hardened. She shifted her strategy subtly. “Sadie might not be the concern, but Alex could be

a different story. I’ve noticed the way he looks at her,” she noted quietly, planting seeds of doubt.

This time, Noah fell into a troubled silence.

Kyla’s insinuations acted like thorns pricking at his heart.

He recalled his confrontation with Alex just the day before, prompted by the very suspicions Kyla voiced now.

The memory of Alex’s tender, longing gaze directed at Sadie flashed before his eyes.

It was the look of a man irrevocably in love, a look all too familiar to Noah, echoing his own deepest fears.

Kyla observed Noah carefully, her eyes narrowing slightly as she went on, “When a man is truly in love, he’ll pull out all the stops. Sadie’s just been through a traumatic car accident. She’s fragile right now. Don’t you think Alex might seize this chance to deepen his bond with her?”

Noah brushed off the suggestion with a wave of his hand, his voice resolute. “That’s out of the question. Sadie’s heart has belonged to me for years. The idea of her turning to someone else is unthinkable.”

His conviction seemed unwavering, but a shadow of doubt flickered across his face.

However, Kyla’s calm demeanor masked the sharpness of her words as they pierced through his defenses. “But just yesterday, Sadie asked you to leave her hospital room and chose to keep Alex by her side. Earlier, you came with a present and she barely cracked a smile. But Alex? She welcomed him with open arms. Doesn’t that seem odd to you?”

Noah’s response stalled, caught in his throat.

Kyla’s words struck a nerve, cutting deeper than he expected.

Sadie’s disregard for him and her attention on Alex felt like salt in an open wound, stinging with every moment

As the antiseptic seeped into his skin, it drained the wound of its color, turning it a bleak, ghostly pale.

The wound looked excruciating, but he didn’t make a sound, as if pain was nothing to him.

The pain in his heart outweighed the one on his body.

He looked distant, trapped in his own thoughts.

In the days that followed, Noah’s visits to Sadie became more frequent, each one marked by an increasingly lavish gift.

From dazzling designer jewels to one–of–a–kind antique artworks, the tables in the ward were adorned with opulence.
