Chapter 421
The doctor reviewed her medical records, his brow furrowing slightly. “Miss Wade, your health indicators are all within normal ranges. You’re medically fit for discharge. We must keep beds available for those who really need them…”
“Doctor, I insist I’m not well. I’m suffering from dizziness, nausea, and extreme fatigue…” Kyla detailed her symptoms, pressing her fingers to her forehead, her face pale as if she were on the brink of collapse.
The doctor hesitated, aware of Kyla’s significant influence and cautious not to displease her. “But…”
Kyla then added, “I’d like to express my thanks with a small gift,” as she subtly handed a thick envelope from under her pillow to the doctor.
The doctor balanced the envelope in his grasp, and his initial hesitation quickly shifted to a complicit grin. “Well then, if you’re still feeling under the weather, we can extend your observation period, Miss Wade. Please, let me know if there’s anything else you require.”
“Thank you, doctor,” Kyla replied, mustering a frail smile. However, once the doctor departed, her demeanor shifted to one of cunning calculation. “He must come… he will,” she whispered quietly to herself, her eyes sparking with both anticipation and cold resolve.
In Laura’s hospital room, Sadie sat beside the bed, her fingers gently wrapped around Laura’s delicate hand, her face etched with both concern and exhaustion.
Laura lay quietly, her breathing steady, and her complexion looking far better than before.
Alex, visibly relieved, said,
“It was a close call this time. Fortunately, she pulled through.”
He glanced at Sadie and added,
“Sadie, you need some rest. Let me drive you home.”

Sadie gently shook her head.
“No, thanks, Alex. I’d rather you go on without me. I’ll stay here with Grandma.”noveldrama
Alex observed the weariness in her eyes, the way her frame had slimmed from the strain of the past weeks.
“I’m okay,” Sadie said, forcing a small smile to reassure him.
“Please, go back. The Howe Group relies on you.”
Alex hesitated, clearly torn, but eventually nodded.
“Okay. I’ll have my cook prepare some dishes and bring them here. You’ve lost too much weight. Take care of yourself, Sadie.”
Sadie walked him to the doorway of the ward.
“Be careful on the road,” she said softly.
“Got it,” Alex replied, giving her a long, meaningful look before turning to leave.
As Sadie turned back into the room, her eyes fell on Laura, peacefully asleep. A rush of emotion flooded her chest. Everything she had endured in recent days felt like a blur—so draining, so surreal.
Just then, a nurse approached.
“Miss Hudson, there’s a delivery for you.”
Curious, Sadie stepped forward and accepted a thermal container.
“Someone just left this for you,” the nurse explained.
Sadie held the container, her brows furrowing with confusion.
Back inside the room, she opened it carefully. The savory aroma of chicken broth wafted out, instantly transporting her to the kitchen of Myrtlewood Estate.
Why would the estate’s cook send her soup so unexpectedly?
The thought that Noah might be behind this briefly crossed Sadie’s mind, but she quickly pushed it away.
