Chapter 239
The encounter with Noah was unexpected for Alex as well.noveldrama
“You appear quite relaxed. Despite being the child’s biological father, you didn’t donate bone marrow. Instead, you were actively searching for a donor. It’s…” Noah’s voice was laden with irony as he continued, “Remarkable.”
Alex’s smile disappeared in an instant.
Noah didn’t wait for a reply and turned on his heel to leave.
Alex’s shoulders drooped, a feeling of defeat washing over him. Pausing at the hospital’s entrance, Noah seemed uncertain for a moment.
Eventually, he gave the insulated food jar to a nurse. “Could you please give this to Kyla Wade?”
Accepting the jar, the nurse nodded and said, “Of course, Mr. Wall.” Noah then departed without further delay.
The nurse wheeled a cart towards Kyla’s room and knocked softly on the door.
“Come in.” Kyla’s voice was weak, tinged with a faint trace of anticipation.
She had hoped it might be Noah.
Upon entering, the nurse placed the food jar on the bedside table.
“Miss Wade, Mr. Wall asked me to bring this to you.”
Kyla looked at the jar, the spark in her eyes quickly fading.
“Thank you,” she responded coldly, no longer carrying the weakness from before.
Nodding politely, the nurse exited the room.
Kyla eyed the food jar with a mix of anger and disgust, her delicate features contorting in frustration.
With a forceful yank, she removed the lid, and the aroma of chicken soup filled the air.
Her face twisted in distaste as her stomach churned.
Your escape begins with ga ln ov els . com
With a slam, the food jar hit the floor, and the soup spilled out, staining the pristine sheets beneath it.
In a fit of rage, Kyla ripped at her IV, her breathing heavy and uncontrolled.
Dizziness overwhelmed her as she sat up too quickly.
She gripped the bed frame, taking deep breaths to regain her composure.
She left her room, her walk shaky, her eyes empty.
She had believed that Sadie’s absence would heal her bond with Noah, but instead, things had only gotten worse.
Upon reaching another ward’s open doorway, Kyla froze.
It was Kairi.
Kyla stormed in, exclaiming, “Kairi!”
Leaning against the head of the hospital bed, Kairi appeared pale and weak from her recent bone marrow donation.
Startled by the noise, Kairi flinched, dropping her apple to the floor with a thud.
Hatred seethed from Kyla as she closed the distance, every step charged with the intent to confront.
Terror widened Kairi’s eyes as she instinctively moved backward, finding herself cornered with no escape. Her hands clenched the blanket, knuckles bleaching under the strain, eyes flitting about anxiously. “Wh-what do you want?”
Kyla sneered, looking down at her. “What do I want? Isn’t it obvious? You took my money, and yet you have the audacity to return?”
Kyla grabbed Kairi by the collar, pulling her close. Too weak to fight back, Kairi could only tremble in fear.
“Miss Wade, I had no choice!” she exclaimed. “I couldn’t afford to cross Mr. Wall. If I’d known you were going against him, I never would have agreed. I’ll give back every penny you paid me.”
