Chapter 419
She pulled herself to her feet, her face marked with deep despair. “My life… it has meant something…”
Watching her collapse back onto the floor, Noah forced himself to keep his composure. He motioned to the nurse, who was still stunned by the scene unfolding. “You’re free to go now,” he whispered.
With a swift nod, the nurse seized the chance to escape, leaving Noah and Sadie alone in the thick air of grief.
Noah made another attempt to help Sadie up, extending his hand cautiously, but she slapped it away sharply.
“Don’t touch me!” Her voice cracked through her tears.
Noah’s eyes remained on her tear-streaked face, and a deep ache filled his heart. He kept his voice steady, trying to break through her distress. “Sadie, please, calm down. Averi is still at Myrtlewood Estate, waiting for you to come back.”
Hearing her son’s name, Sadie showed a brief moment of confusion, which quickly turned to intense hatred. “Are you using Averi to threaten me? Trying to make me forgive your mother and Kyla?” Her voice was thick with contempt.
Just then, Alex rushed into the corridor.
When he saw Sadie in turmoil, his expression softened with profound sadness. He enveloped her in his arms, his whispers tender. “Don’t be afraid, Sadie. I’m right here.”
Grasping Alex’s sleeve desperately, Sadie seemed to find a brief sense of comfort.noveldrama
A chilling smile crept onto Noah’s face as he watched, his eyes briefly flashing with disdain. The sight of Sadie completely reliant on Alex for support sparked an intense fury inside him.
“Yes, I am threatening you,” Noah said coldly, his voice tinged with malice. “Behave yourself if you care about Averi’s safety.”
At his words, Sadie experienced a sudden shock.

Lifting her head quickly, she fixed her gaze on Noah, her eyes wide and fearful.
She tried to speak, but her words faltered, leaving her lips quivering silently. “What?”
Noah raised an eyebrow.
“I didn’t…” Sadie began, but Noah quickly interrupted her.
His hands clenched into fists as he looked into Sadie’s eyes and said deliberately, “Your grandmother is alive.”
“What?” Confusion swept over Sadie, unsure if she had heard him correctly.
“She’s in the adjacent ward, still unconscious.” Noah’s voice softened slightly as he continued, “It’s time you took responsibility for her care, instead of leaving it to my maid.”
With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Sadie and Alex standing there.
Stunned, Sadie remained motionless, her mind struggling to process the news. Her grandmother was still alive?
Acting on impulse, she brushed past Alex and hurried to the next ward. There, Laura lay in the hospital bed, her delicate frame surrounded by medical equipment that beeped softly.
Tears welled up in Sadie’s eyes as she tenderly touched Laura’s face. She glanced at the monitors, which displayed the rhythmic patterns of Laura’s heartbeat, proof that she was still fighting for her life.
“Grandma…” Sadie murmured, her voice trembling as she bent over the bed, crying uncontrollably.
Alex remained a few steps behind, silently observing the emotional scene. His sympathy for Sadie deepened as he watched her sorrow unfold. He gently touched her shoulder, whispering, “Don’t cry, Sadie. Laura will recover.”
Grateful, Sadie looked up at Alex through her tears.
