Chapter 237 Where’s Averi
Averi was missing!
The realization slammed into Sadie like a punch to the gut, knocking the air from her lungs.
She locked eyes with Noah.
His demeanor instantly shifted, turning grave.
Without hesitation, he took the phone from Sadie’s grasp, his tone steady and firm. “Don’t worry. I’ll check immediately.”
As soon as the call ended, he swiftly contacted Samuel. “Where is Averi? Why wasn’t he brought back?”
A frantic voice answered on the other end, “Mr. Wall, I swear I followed your orders! I dropped him off at Myrtlewood Estate and watched him go inside before leaving. I… I have no idea where he went after that!”
Noah’s expression hardened. “Myrtlewood Estate? You’re absolutely certain?”
“Yes! I saw him enter with my own eyes!”
Noah abruptly ended the call, his jaw tightening.
He turned toward Sadie, his gaze unreadable.
A wave of dizziness washed over her, and she nearly collapsed.
“How could this happen? Where is he?” she whispered, her voice barely audible.
Noah gripped her arm, his words urgent. “Stay calm. I’ll send a team to search immediately.”
Sadie gave a weak nod.
Noah wasted no time dialing security. “Pull up all surveillance footage from Myrtlewood Estate. I need to see Averi’s last
known movements in ten minutes.”
Without another word, he strode out of the hospital.
Sadie clenched her hands into fists, the thought of what might have happened to Averi unbearable.
Just then, Kyla emerged from the emergency room, her complexion pale, a thick bandage wrapped around her head.
She had intended to leave but was surprised to see Sadie there.
When she noticed Sadie’s distressed state, a smug smirk played on her lips. She deliberately slowed her steps, stopping
just in front of her.
“Well, look who it is. What’s wrong, Sadie?”
Sadie’s head snapped up, her teary and reddened eyes glaring at Kyla.
Seeing the raw emotion in Sadie’s eyes only fueled Kyla’s satisfaction. She tilted her head, voice dripping with mockery. “So,
it seems Noah doesn’t care much about you or that brat. Look at me–I got a minor injury, and he rushed me to the

hospital himself. Meanwhile, your precious son? Left in the care of an assistant.”
Sadie’s breath hitched.
So this was what had happened!
Kyla chuckled, her tone laced with cruelty. “What’s wrong? Did that sting? Feeling pathetic? Too bad. Noah’s heart belongs
to me. You’ll never be anything more than a placeholder.”
Sadie trembled, her clenched fists turning ghostly white.
Kyla relished the reaction, lifting her chin as she strutted away, pleased with herself.
Sadie stood frozen, her body wavering, on the verge of collapse. She staggered back a step, barely steadying herself.
Her vision blurred, her strength threatening to give out.
But she couldn’t break down. Averi was still missing. She had to find him!
Summoning every ounce of willpower, she spun around and bolted from the hospital.
She had to find him!
She flagged down a taxi and urgently gave her old address.
The moment the vehicle stopped, she practically flung the door open and dashed inside.
She sprinted up the stairs, fumbling with her keys before unlocking the door.
The apartment was empty and silent.
Without wasting a second, she rushed to Laura’s unit. Still no sign of him.
Panic surged through her as she stumbled outside, standing helplessly by the curb. She had no idea where to go next.
Just then, a sleek black Maybach rolled to a stop in front of her.
The door opened, and Noah stepped out.
His face was etched with worry, his brows knitted in frustration. The moment he saw Sadie, he closed the distance between them.
Their eyes met, and the emotions Sadie had been suppressing erupted all at once. She screamed, voice raw with desperation, “Where’s Averi? Where is my son?!”
Noah halted, something unreadable flickering in his gaze.
“I’m looking for him,” he murmured, voice rough and exhausted.
“Looking?” Sadie’s breath came in ragged gasps as she choked out, tears spilling down her cheeks.
