Chapter 142
“Why haven’t you set a date yet?” Laura’s voice carried genuine concern. “You have a child now. Getting married soon would put my mind at ease.”
“We… we’ll definitely tie the knot,” Sadie responded, her tone noncommittal.
Explaining her complex relationship with Alex to Laura was beyond her.noveldrama
Laura exhaled a weary sigh. “I don’t quite understand you young people, but Alex is a catch. Don’t let him get away.”
Managing a strained smile, Sadie remained silent.
In the hospital, Laura proceeded to her appointment.
Seated in the corridor, Sadie absentmindedly scrolled through her phone.
Out of the blue, her phone buzzed.
It was a call from Amy, the design director at Majestic Ego.
“Hello, Amy.”
“Sadie, how are you? I heard you’re back in Helva,” Amy said.
“Yes, I’ve returned.”
“Our Jazmah branch is really in need of a design director. Won’t you reconsider your decision?” Sadie was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Amy to invite her to work at the company’s Jazmah branch again.
“Well… I’ll think about it.”
“Sure, I await your decision. Please let me know as soon as you can.”
Once the conversation ended, Sadie was lost in thought.
Standing at a crucial decision point, she felt unsure of her next steps.
Suddenly, she spotted Noah and Kyla approaching.

In a rush, Sadie concealed herself behind some thick greenery, her heart pounding.
She absolutely did not want to be discovered, especially here. Kyla was close to Noah, her hand on his arm, speaking softly with the doctor about something.
Sadie froze, trying to blend into the background.
Looking more closely, she noticed they were near the gynecology and obstetrics department. Could Kyla be expecting?
A bitter smile crossed Sadie’s face. Three years had passed; it made sense that Kyla might be pregnant. Indeed, time had a way of changing things.
Eventually, Noah and Kyla departed.
Taking a deep breath, Sadie prepared to retrieve Laura.
“Grandma, we can leave now,” she said, offering her arm to Laura.
“Okay,” Laura responded with a gentle smile, accepting Sadie’s support.
Unbeknownst to Sadie, a familiar presence was back.
It was Kyla.
Disbelief filled her. She blinked several times to ensure she wasn’t imagining things.
There was no mistake—it was indeed Kyla.
Kyla felt a sudden pang of anxiety. Despite all her efforts over the past three years, Noah had consistently resisted marrying her. With Sadie’s return, Kyla feared the stability of her relationship with Noah was at risk.
In a state of panic, Kyla watched as Sadie walked away, her eyes alight with a fierce resentment. She was determined not to let Sadie win Noah back.
Quickly, Kyla grabbed her phone and made a call, instructing, “Keep a close eye on Sadie. Report back on everything she does!”
After ending the call, Kyla gripped the medical report so tightly that her fingertips whitened. She got back into the car and nonchalantly tossed the report aside, her facial expression smoothing out.
