Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Concern

As Kyla emerged from the room, she caught sight of Noah lingering by the master bedroom door, his knocks soft and

hesitant.

“Sadie, I get that you’re upset with me, but neglecting your health just to make a point is reckless! Do you really think skipping breakfast will make me feel sorry for you?”

There was an undertone of urgency in his voice, his brow slightly furrowed.

His words carried a note of reprimand yet were underscored by genuine concern.

Kyla clenched her fists, her nails pressing into her palms.

In her mind, if Sadie succumbed to her illness, all the better–she wouldn’t have to get her hands dirty at all.

At that moment, the master bedroom door creaked open.

Sadie stood there, her complexion ghostly, a sheen of sweat glistening faintly on her brow, her body emanating frailty and

fatigue.

“How many times do I have to repeat myself? I don’t want to eat,” she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper, trembling with frustration.

Noah’s face softened immediately. He stepped closer, extending a hand to check her forehead.

“Are you feeling alright?” he inquired, concern lacing his words.

Yet, Sadie turned away sharply, her cheeks shadowed with a mix of hurt and defiance.

A flicker of bitterness tightened her lips.

Yesterday’s harshness from Noah had left her reeling, not just emotionally but physically too, leading to complications in her pregnancy and a burning fever.

All of it was his fault. Now he dared to show concern? Was she seriously supposed to let this go? No way in hell!

“Just leave me alone,” she said, her voice cold and flat, slicing through the tense air.

Noah shifted his attention to Rosa, who was standing nearby, unease written on her face. “Rosa, make some plain soup,” he

instructed firmly.

His gaze briefly met Kyla’s, who stood not far away. He acknowledged her with nothing more than a dismissive glance before turning back to Sadie with a commanding tone that brooked no argument. “Go back and lie down. I’m calling the

doctor now.”

A pang of anxiety gripped Sadie’s heart, pulling a rash, desperate response from her.

“Don’t!” The word escaped her lips with a tremor, betraying her fear. “I’ll just stay warm and sweat this thing away.”

The looming threat of a doctor’s visit terrified her.

It would unveil her secret pregnancy, a revelation she feared Noah would never accept.

This child was both her last beacon of hope and her deepest vulnerability.

Noah’s brow deepened into a troubled furrow as he pressed on. “You’ve been throwing up lately and are burning up with a fever now. You’re clearly unwell, yet you stubbornly refuse to see a doctor. Are you hiding something from me?” His tone was demanding, laced with concern and frustration.

Sadie averted her gaze, her eyes darting nervously, betraying her reluctance to confront his questioning.

“Of course not,” she replied, her voice a strained whisper of feigned calm. “It’s just… doctors tend to pry too much into my

life.”

On the sidelines, Kyla observed the tense exchange with a simmering blend of jealousy and resentment.
