Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Threatening

Sadie jumped out of bed, her feet tingling from the cold, hard floor.

Not bothering to put on her shoes, she stumbled out of the hospital room.

The corridor was alive with activity, filled with people moving i

every direction. She caught a nurse by the arm, her voice

shaking to the point of being almost inaudible. “Excuse me! How is Laura Stewart?”

Taken aback by Sadie’s urgency, the nurse paused before she could answer.

The

“Lo—what? Did you say Stuart?” The nurse searched her memories. “You’re referring to Lorna Stuart, aren’t you? She… she didn’t make it,” the nurse murmured, her voice dropping to a hush. “We couldn’t revive her. She’s passed away.”

The nurse’s words seemed to blur Sadie’s sight momentarily.

Suddenly weak, Sadie felt her legs buckle, and she started to fall.

“Sadie!” A strong arm caught her just in time, and a familiar, crisp scent enveloped her.

It was Noah.

Seeing him triggered a flood of sadness and frustration. Tears she had been suppressing streamed down her face.

In a surge of emotion, she struck him across the face.

The slap resounded down the corridor.

A vivid handprint marked Noah’s cheek. He didn’t move to avoid it, nor did he react. His eyes conveyed deep sorrow.

“Why… why did you intervene…” Sadie barely managed to say through her tears.

Her cries became uncontrollable.

Noah embraced her firmly, trying to offer comfort.

With a forceful push, Sadie shoved him back, yelling through her sobs, “She’s dead! My grandmother is dead! I blame myself; it’s all my fault!”

Overwhelmed by grief, she sank to the floor, covering her face as she wept bitterly.

Noah knelt before her, attempting to draw her into an embrace. She recoiled, shoving him away with forceful determination.

“Don’t you dare touch me!” she screamed, her eyes, red and angry, fixed on him. “You’re to blame! Your whole family is! You’re the reason she’s gone! I swear I’ll make you regret what happened to my grandmother!”

She pulled herself to her feet, her expression one of deep despair. “My life… it has meant something…”

Watching her collapse back onto the floor, Noah forced himself to keep his composure.

He motioned to the nurse, who was still stunned by the scene unfolding. “You’re free to go now,” he whispered.

Chapter 291 Threatening

With a swift nod, the nurse seized the chance to escape, leaving Noah and Sadie amid the heavy air of grief.

Noah made another attempt to help Sadie up, extending his hand cautiously, but she slapped it away sharply.

“Don’t touch me!” Her voice broke through her tears.

Noah’s eyes stayed on her tear–streaked face, and a deep ache filled his heart.

He kept his voice steady, trying to break through her distress. “Sadie, please, calm down. Averi is still at Myrtlewood Estate, waiting for you to come back.”

Hearing her son’s name, Sadie showed a brief moment of confusion, which quickly turned to intense hatred. “Are you using Averi to threaten me? Trying to make me forgive your mother and Kyla?” Her voice was thick with contempt.

Just then, Alex rushed into the corridor.

When he saw Sadie in turmoil, his expression softened with profound sadness. He enveloped her in his arms, his whispers tender. “Don’t be afraid, Sadie. I’m right here.”

Grasping Alex’s sleeve desperately, Sadie seemed to find a brief sense of comfort.

A chilling smile crept onto Noah’s face as he watched, his eyes briefly flashing with disdain.

The sight of Sadie completely reliant on Alex for support sparked an intense fury inside him.

“Yes, I am threatening you,” Noah said coldly, his voice tinged with malice. “Behave yourself if you care about Averi’s safety.”

At his words, Sadie experienced a sudden shock.

Lifting her head quickly, she fixed her gaze on Noah, her eyes wide and fearful.

She tried to speak, but her words faltered, leaving her lips quivering silently.

“What?” Noah raised an eyebrow.
