Chapter 413
“Thank you so much, Nanette. I really appreciate it.”
Nanette patted her hand gently. “Don’t worry. Everything will be alright.” After offering a final comforting glance, Nanette left the hospital.
As Sadie watched Nanette walk away, a profound sense of gratitude washed over her. Her legs trembled, barely able to hold her up.
Seeing her struggle to stay upright, Breck quickly moved to steady her as she swayed.
“Mrs. Wall, are you okay?” Breck asked, his voice filled with concern.
Sadie’s face was ashen, her lips quivering. She fought to find her voice, but dizziness overwhelmed her, blurring her vision momentarily.
Gently, Breck helped her to a nearby bench in the corridor where they both sat.
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing.
Barely above a whisper, she said, “I need some water…”
Without hesitation, Breck handed her a cup of warm water.
Her hands trembled as she took the cup and sipped slowly, feeling a slight revival with each sip.
When she opened her eyes, she looked up at Breck, her expression one of confusion and vulnerability. “Can you tell me what just happened?”
With a heavy sigh, Breck began to explain.
“Your grandmother was fine until Mrs. Isabel Wall and Miss Wade arrived. We were told to stay outside, but we could hear raised voices from within. It sounded like quite a heated argument. Once they left, your grandmother…”noveldrama
He trailed off, but Sadie immediately understood the implication.
Her hands balled into tight fists, her nails biting painfully into her palms, veins standing out against her skin.

Kyla was involved, of course. Why had she appeared at Myrtlewood Estate, and with Isabel in tow? What could they possibly have said to upset Laura so deeply?
As these thoughts raced through her mind, Sadie’s anger surged, intensifying with each passing moment.
Bolting upright, Sadie swiftly headed towards the exit of the hospital.
“Where are you headed, Mrs. Wall?” Breck asked, quickly following her.
“I need to see Isabel and Kyla!” Sadie shouted, her words sharp and biting. Breck watched with concern as Sadie’s determined figure disappeared into the distance.
He felt the urge to stop her but understood that persuading her otherwise would be futile.
Quickly exiting the hospital, Sadie hailed a cab and instructed the driver to take her directly to Wall Manor.
As the taxi sped along, Sadie was haunted by memories of Laura’s warm, affectionate smile, recalling the years of care and nurturing she had provided.
Laura had been her sole refuge, her anchor in a world full of uncertainty. Protecting Laura from harm was Sadie’s unwavering mission.
Meanwhile, at Wall Manor, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. The light from the crystal chandelier harshly illuminated the mahogany furniture, only adding to the somber mood.
Entering the manor, Noah was immediately enveloped by the thick scent of polished wood, which today seemed to tighten around him, overwhelming his senses.
He handed his coat to a servant and, with unease, asked, “Where’s my mother?”
“She is waiting for you in the living room,” the servant replied quietly, his voice tinged with apprehension.
Noah’s brows furrowed slightly as he strode toward the living room.
Isabel sat rigidly on the sofa, her body tight with tension. Her face was dark, and she clutched a document tightly in her hand.
