Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Some Complications

Noah strode out of the villa with a determined pace. Samuel, who had been lingering by the door, quickly followed. He opened his mouth to speak several times, each attempt faltering before words could form. Finally, gathering his courage, he managed to break the silence.

“Mr. Wall…”

Noah paused, turning slightly, his intense gaze sharp with impatience. “Yes, what is it?”

Gathering himself, Samuel continued, “There’s been a report from the person watching Miss Hudson. He reported… he reported that Averi is facing some complications.”

“What kind of complications?” Noah’s voice was stern, demanding clarity.

Samuel shifted uneasily, his eyes darting away as he stuttered, “It’s… the donor, sir… They’ve decided to back out.”

Noah stopped dead in his tracks, clearly shaken by the news. He wasn’t Averi’s father, but the thought of the boy in jeopardy tightened his chest with visceral pain as if his heart was being squeezed.

A deep frustration surged through him. He closed his eyes for a moment, battling to maintain his composure.

Gritting his teeth, he whispered, “Sadie… Averi…”

Noah then snapped his eyes oper?, his resolve hardening. Turning to Samuel, he commanded, “Get the car ready. We’re heading to the hospital immediately.”

Samuel didn’t hesitate. “Understood, Mr. Wall,” he responded swiftly before hurrying to the car.

Noah turned on his heel and strode toward the black Maybach parked by the roadside. Without another word, he got in, and they sped off toward the hospital.

Inside the hospital room, the atmosphere was heavy with exhaustion. Sadie sat by Averi’s bed, her body slumped forward in restless sleep. The faint beeping of the monitors was the only sound filling the silence.

Noah’s entrance disrupted the deep silence enveloping the room. His imposing presence filled the doorway, Samuel following closely like a faithful shadow.

Jim, already in the room, glanced up from the sofa. His eyes briefly met Noah’s, and there was a fleeting flicker of something, something like distance or perhaps regret. The friendship they once shared had long since eroded, replaced by

a quiet, tense estrangement.

Noah’s voice cut through the tension, calm yet carrying an underlying urgency. “How is the boy now?”

He stepped closer to the bed, his eyes fixed on Averi’s pale, delicate features. An unexpected tightness gripped his chest as

he looked down at the boy.

Jim’s gaze flickered with fury and helplessness as he looked at Noah. The impulse to knock him out and force him to undergo the procedure himself, to get the bone marrow by any means necessary, was almost too much to bear. But Jim held himself back, his jaw clenched tight in restraint.

“The donor…” Jim’s voice faltered as he struggled to contain his anger. “She took the money from Sadie and fled the

country.”

Noah’s head snapped up, his sharp, cold gaze locking onto Jim. “What did you say?”

Jim’s voice dropped into a grim tone. “Averi’s condition… isn’t looking good. We’re running out of time.”

Noah’s eyes drifted over to Sadie, who was resting, her face pale and etched with exhaustion. His expression hardened.

Without a word, he turned on his heel and stormed out of the room.

Samuel quickly followed, his steps hurried. “Mr. Wall, where are we going?”

Noah’s pace didn’t falter as he spoke. “Find that donor. Every lead, every scrap of information, now.”

Samuel didn’t waste a second, pulling out his phone to start making calls. He was used to Noah’s urgency, but this felt

different. This time, there was no room for failure.

Jim lingered in the doorway, watching Noah leave. His emotions were a twisted knot in his chest. Perhaps, with Noah’s

involvement, they could finally make some progress in this desperate situation.

Jim left the room, closing the door gently behind him.

The soft click of the door shutting was enough to stir Sadie from her sleep. Her eyelids fluttered open. She was groggy and

disoriented.

The room was empty, and the sterile scent of disinfectant hung in the air, mingling with the moment’s heaviness.

Sadie slowly sat up, her neck stiff and sore. She rubbed it absentmindedly as she struggled to steady herself, gripping the

side of the bed to keep from toppling over.

Her eyes now flashed with a fire of determination.

For Averi, Sadie would do whatever it took. She would give up everything, her pride, her peace, even her sanity, if he could

survive.

Sadie lingered at Averi’s bedside, her hand gently brushing his soft cheek.

“Mommy will make sure you get better,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.

Sadie knew Kyla’s motive well; Kyla wanted to remove her from Noah’s life, and nothing would stop her. Then, she would

just leave. Nothing mattered more than Averi’s life.

Sadie picked up her phone, her hand steady despite the gravity of the situation. She dialed Kyla’s number, her heart pounding as the call rang through.

The line connected, and Kyla’s smug voice came through, dripping with satisfaction. “Sadie, have you finally come to your

senses?”

Sadie’s voice remained calm, her tone betraying no emotion. “I want to talk to you.”

Kyla’s laughter echoed on the other end. “Fine. Tomorrow morning, I’ll meet you at the cafe beside the hospital,” she said before abruptly hanging up.

Sadie put the phone down with a quiet exhale, her gaze returning to Averi. The weight of her decision settled heavily on her chest, but there was no turning back. For Averi, she would endure anything.

The following morning, Sadie stood before the mirror, adjusting her coat and gathering her thoughts. With a final glance at Averi, she opened the door to the hospital room and stepped into the corridor. The corridor was eerily silent, the faint click of her heels echoing as she made her way toward the elevator.

As the elevator descended, an unexpected calm washed over Sadie. She had prepared herself for what was to come, ready to face whatever Kyla threw her way.

The cafe smelled of fresh coffee and pastries, but Sadie barely noticed. She sat by the window, lost in thought as she

waited for Kyla to arrive.

Kyla arrived late, walking into the cafe like she owned it. Her black business suit was impeccably tailored, and her makeup. flawless. She carried a Hermes Birkin bag in her hand, symbolizing her wealth.

She approached Sadie with an air of superiority and sat across from her. “So, what’s your decision?” she asked.

Sadie met Kyla’s gaze, her expression unflinching. “I’ll leave Noah. Forever.”

Kyla arched an eyebrow, a hint of disbelief flashing across her face. “Forever?” she repeated, her tone laced with skepticism.
