Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 An Urgent Call

The cold within the car was evident, as Noah’s cold aura unsettled everyone.

In the passenger seat, Samuel sat rigid, acutely aware that any word from him could provoke Noah’s anger due to his terrible mood.

Silence hung heavy until Samuel tentatively broke it, saying, “Mr. Wall, should we continue on to Maple Group? I have already made an appointment with Mr. Dominguez.”

Noah, feeling a throb in his temples, gave a brief nod and replied, “Drive.”

Samuel exhaled quietly in relief and signaled to the driver to move forward.

Meanwhile, Sadie, afraid of worrying Laura with her condition, returned to her apartment.

As soon as she exited the vehicle, a wave of nausea struck her hard, making her head spin.

Her sickness was more intense today, possibly aggravated by her scant lunch, unsettling the baby.

Supporting herself against the wall, Sadie retched a few times but didn’t vomit anything; she only felt painful cramp in her

stomach.

Gradually, she regained some balance and walked weakly to her apartment.

The tiny apartment had barely any furniture, but it was spotless and neatly kept.

Still, an undeniable loneliness hung in the air, echoing Sadie’s mood.

Shaking off the feeling, she headed to the kitchen and made a bowl of mac and cheese.

The dish was bland, and the sauce was dull, but consuming the warm meal slowly helped her feel slightly better.

Sadie reclined in her chair, one hand resting on her still–flat belly as a wry smile touched her lips.

The light outside began to fade as the night deepened.

Then, a sharp ringtone pierced her reverie.

It was the unique ringtone she had set for Laura.

Swiftly, Sadie picked up the call. “Hello, Grandma?”

Instead of Laura, an unfamiliar voice, urgent and slightly panicked, responded, “Is this a family member of Mrs. Stewart? She has suffered a sudden heart attack and is now in critical condition at the hospital. You need to come immediately!”

Sadie’s mind turned to white noise. The phone fell to the floor, landing with a soft thud.

Her grandma had a heart attack? How was that possible?

Montents later, Sadie snapped back to reality. She quickly picked up her phone, slipped into her shoes and rushed out of her apartment.

Chapter 42 An Urgent Call

On the way to the hospital, the doctor’s urgent message replayed incessantly in her head, constricting her heart like a vice, making it hard to catch her breath.

Laura was everything to her, her only family, her pillar in life. Nothing could happen to her, nothing at all!

Sadie’s high heels echoed sharply against the hospital’s polished floors as she raced through the corridors, her heartbeat thundering just as wildly.

“Grandma! Grandma!”

She surged forward, gasping for air but not slowing down, and headed towards the nurse’s station. Grasping a nurse’s arm with shaking hands, with a voice thick with tears, she pleaded, “Excuse me, my grandmother, Laura Stewart, was just

brought in by ambulance. Where is she? I’m her granddaughter!”

The nurse, skilled in handling such crises, maintained a stoic expression, her voice even and professional as she responded

with a slight furrow of her brow, “Please try to remain calm. Your grandmother is in critical care, and things aren’t looking

great right now.”

As the nurse’s words sank in, Sadie’s vision blurred, each syllable like a hammer blow shattering the fragile hope she clung

1. to.
