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

Chapter 1087:

Sadie? What was she doing here? With that cold fire in her expression, the nurse could almost feel the animosity radiating from her.

Her grip faltered, and the pen slipped from her fingers, clattering to the floor. A tremor ran through her as she shakily raised her arm, pointing toward the corridor’s end. Her voice quivered. “D-down there… the surgery room…”

Without a word, Sadie turned and walked away.

Jack and Samuel followed, keeping a steady pace just behind her.

Their steps were quick, and it didn’t take long before they reached the surgical suite.

Outside the sealed entryway, Hailey sat on a bench, looking completely unfazed. A subtle, unreadable smile curled at her lips. She didn’t look like someone concerned about her spouse’s condition.

Sadie’s simmering rage snapped the moment her gaze landed on Hailey. She stormed forward, grabbed Hailey by the front of her blouse, and yanked her upright.

The motion was abrupt and forceful, leaving Hailey stunned and motionless.

“Hailey! What sick game are you playing? Where is Noah?” Sadie shouted, her voice breaking with barely contained fury, her eyes blazing with rage.

Hailey, initially taken aback by the sudden aggression, quickly regained her composure.

Why was Sadie always showing up like this? An unwelcome shadow that never seemed to fade.

Hailey’s lashes fluttered down slightly, masking her thoughts. She couldn’t afford to let Sadie interfere now.

Feigning innocence, she furrowed her brow and gave Sadie a look of hurt confusion.noveldrama

She turned away, refusing to meet Sadie’s burning gaze. “Ms. Hudson, I have no idea what you’re implying,” she murmured. “But barging into a medical facility with your helpers and attacking someone in public? Hardly acceptable behavior, don’t you think?”

She paused deliberately, then added with a venom-laced smirk, “After all, I am Noah’s wife now.”

Those words were like sparks to dry kindling, igniting Sadie’s fury into an inferno.

Her whole body trembled, but her lips twisted into a cold sneer.

“You dare call yourself his wife?”

She locked eyes with Hailey, her voice sharp and deliberate. “The only lawful spouse Noah has—on paper and in truth—is me. And you…” Her eyes traveled over Hailey with revulsion. “You’re just a parasite, hoping to claim what isn’t yours.”

As if struck by a sudden thought, Sadie arched an eyebrow and let a sly grin curve her lips. “Oh—hold on. That’s not quite the whole truth, is it? If memory serves me right, Ms. Burgess, didn’t you marry that scandalous Noel family’s illegitimate member? Moved on so fast you forgot you’re still legally bound to someone else?”

Hailey’s complexion paled in an instant.

She hadn’t expected Sadie to know that detail.
