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

Chapter 1120:

“There’s a full-scale manhunt out there. Everyone’s hunting me down. Just showing up at the hospital to find you was a massive risk. And as for Noah? He’s cut me off completely. I’ve got no one else to turn to. Like it or not, you’re all I’ve got.”

Alex gave a short, bitter laugh. “So that’s what this is. You can’t get to Noah, and now you expect me to help you out.”

His chest tightened with fury, the heat of it rising until his hatred for Noah flared up again.

Meanwhile, Hailey’s words tempted him. The chance to finally have Sadie… it was impossible to ignore.

His fingers curled into a tight fist as he weighed the offer in silence.

“I’ll think about it,” he said finally, his voice low. “But if you want me on your side, Ms. Burgess, prove you’re not playing games.”

His gaze drifted toward the sofa, settling on the small, sleeping figure on it.

That single glance was enough. Hailey stiffened, instantly catching his meaning.

To her, Averi had never been more than leverage.

Forcing a smile, she nodded, though her voice faltered.

“Fine. Take him. But think about what I said, Mr. Howe.”

Alex didn’t respond. He crossed the room, bent down, and lifted the child with deliberate care. Without sparing her another word, he turned and walked out, the sound of his footsteps echoing into the hallway.

The heavy iron door groaned before slamming shut behind him.

In the bedroom, a shadow stirred.

Forest emerged from the darkness, his face twisted in disbelief.

“You just let him walk off with the kid?” he snapped. “That’s Noah’s only heir. Letting him live won’t get us anywhere!”

Hailey didn’t flinch. Her hands curled tightly at her sides as she turned toward him, her expression ice-cold and sharp as glass.

“That boy’s days are numbered,” she said flatly. “Right now, our focus is making sure Alex agrees to work with us and also takes the blame later.”

Thirty minutes later, Alex rushed through the hospital’s emergency room doors, cradling Averi in his arms.

Perspiration beaded across his forehead, and his breath came in sharp, irregular bursts.

He carefully settled Averi onto the crisp white sheets of an unoccupied bed.

When the doctor hurried toward them, Alex’s voice cut through the ambient noise with unwavering authority.

“I need you to run a complete examination. Check everything.”

Relief washed over Alex like a cool wave, though he knew this reprieve might prove fleeting.

Averi was safe—nothing else mattered more in this moment.

The doctor acknowledged him with a brisk nod, retrieved his stethoscope, and began the thorough assessment.
