Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 1019:

On the vast bed, Sadie’s diminutive form huddled beneath layers of blankets, occasional tremors betraying her distress.

Noah hastened to her bedside and pressed his palm against her forehead with uncharacteristic gentleness.

Her skin radiated alarming heat—fever had clearly taken fierce hold of her.

His features clouded with frustration and concern. Why did she persistently neglect her own wellbeing? Wordlessly, he gathered her limp form against his chest and pivoted toward the exit with purposeful strides.

At that precise moment, Breck and Jack appeared in the doorway, their expressions freezing into identical masks of alarm.

“Ms. Hudson!”

“Boss!” Jack blurted, startled by the severity of the situation.

They stumbled over themselves following Noah’s determined path, naked fear etched across their features.

Noah descended the staircase with swift, measured steps, cradling Sadie’s fevered form against him as he navigated directly toward the main entrance.

With meticulous care, he arranged her across the vehicle’s back seat before vaulting into the driver’s position with singular focus.

The engine roared to life with a guttural snarl as the sleek black vehicle surged forward, carving a desperate path toward the exclusive medical facility nearby.

The car hurtled through city streets at a velocity that blurred the passing scenery into indistinct smears of color.noveldrama

Jack followed in a second car, his white-knuckled hands gripping the steering wheel as anxiety coursed through his veins.

The VIP hospital suite carried the characteristic clinical scent—sterile antiseptic mingled with understated luxury.

After a comprehensive evaluation, the physician draped his stethoscope around his neck and addressed Noah with professional composure.

“Mr. Noel, your concern is understandable but unwarranted. Ms. Hudson exhibits symptoms of a standard fever—likely due to excessive fatigue. There’s nothing perilous. Intravenous hydration and proper rest will restore her completely.”

Only after hearing this diagnosis did Noah exhale the breath he had unconsciously held. The constriction in his chest loosened, and the tension he hadn’t fully realized he was carrying began to fade. She would recover fully.

As the physician departed, silence reclaimed the room.

Noah claimed the chair beside Sadie’s bedside, his vigil unwavering.

Sadie’s complexion remained alarmingly pale, her forehead creased with tension even in unconsciousness.

If he’d arrived any later… the potential consequences loomed too grim to contemplate.
