Between Ruin And Resolve My Ex-Husband's Regret novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 I’m Back And

Better

Sadie exited the study, closing the door softly behind her.

The gentle light in the hallway washed over her, yet it did little to lift the heaviness in her heart.

A persistent barrier of unspoken words seemed to separate her and Noah, making him seem distant.

As she descended the stairs, Noah’s penetrating gaze lingered in her mind.

Would he place his trust in Alex?

“Mommy!” Averi’s sweet voice pierced her reverie. She turned to see him at the entrance to the living room, his large eyes brimming with curiosity.

Instantly, her heart warmed.

She approached and crouched to his level, asking softly, “What’s up, sweetheart?”

“Mommy, what were you and Mr. Wall talking about? You were in there for a long time,” Averi inquired, his head tilted inquisitively, gently pulling at Sadie’s sleeve.

“We were just discussing some work things, nothing for you to worry about,” Sadie reassured him, patting his head as she

smiled.

“I see,” Averi replied, his understanding partial.

His expression then brightened with excitement. “Mommy, I have good news! Great–grandma is back.”

“Great–grandma?” Sadie echoed, startled, her eyes immediately filled with tears.

Her grandmother!

It had been so long since she had seen her.

Since her kidnapping, she had lost contact with Laura. The worry had tormented Sadie, keeping her awake at night, yet she

hesitated to inquire, fearing the worst.

“Yes, Mommy!” Averi beamed, waving his little hands. “Breck said Great–grandma wasn’t feeling well a while ago, so he

took her to the hospital. Now she’s better and back home.”

Sadie was overwhelmed by emotion, her tears streaming down her cheeks.

She quickly stood and dashed toward the door.

“Mrs. Wall, you…” Breck began, startled by Sadie’s emotional state, but she was already past him, driven by an urgent need

to see her grandmother.

<Chapter 385 I’m Back And Better

At the villa’s entrance, a beloved figure stood, smiling warmly and waving.

It was her grandmother, the woman who had raised her and cherished her dearly.

“Grandma!” Sadie cried out, running into her grandmother’s open arms.

“Oh, my dear child! Why are you crying like this?” Laura gently stroked Sadie’s back with concern. “Has someone upset you?

Tell Grandma, and I’ll take care of it.”

Clutching Laura tightly, Sadie let her tears flow unrestrained.

She hadn’t wept so deeply even during the torment at the hands of those thugs or in her darkest moments of survival.

Her deepest fear had always been harm coming to Laura, not her own suffering.

“Grandma, I’m fine…” Sadie managed to say between sobs. “I just… missed you so much…”

“Silly girl! Am I not right here with you? Look, I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?” Laura soothed her, tenderly wiping away her

tears. “Stop crying now, or you’ll ruin your beautiful face.”

Despite her efforts, Sadie found it impossible to stem the flow of tears.

“Grandma…” she choked out, her voice breaking. “Where have you been all this time? I was so worried…”

“It was just my old condition flaring up again. I had to stay in the hospital for a little while,” Laura explained lightly, trying to reassure her. “See? I’m back and better now. Don’t worry, okay?”

Knowing Laura was minimizing her own troubles, to spare her worry only deepened Sadie’s emotional pain.

“Grandma, I’m sorry…” Sadie whispered, her voice laden with regret and relief.

“Silly child, what are you apologizing for?” Laura gently stroked Sadie’s hair, speaking with warmth. “I never blame you. As long as you’re well, I’m at ease.”

“Mommy, don’t cry. Great–grandma said she’s fine,” Averi chimed in, hugging Sadie’s leg, his voice filled with sincerity.

Sadie looked down at Averi, wiped away her tears, and managed a smile. “Okay, Mommy won’t cry anymore.”

“My dear, are you hungry?” Laura asked affectionately, turning her attention to Sadie. “Tell me what you’d like to eat.

Grandma will make it for you.”

Sadie’s face brightened slightly. She sniffed and responded, “Could I have your pot roast, glazed chicken, and…”

She listed several dishes, all favorites from her childhood.

“Of course, of course. I’ll make them all.” Laura chuckled, her eyes twinkling with delight. “Just relax, and let Grandma take

care of the cooking.”

With a sense of purpose, Laura rolled up her sleeves, prepared to head into the kitchen.

“Grandma, let me help you,” Sadie quickly said.

“No need, dear. You spend some time with Averi.” Laura declined gently, smiling. “The kitchen will be all smoky. You

won’t like it.”

“But Grandma, I really want to help…” Sadie began, only to be interrupted by Laura.

“Be a good girl, will you?” Laura said with a kind smile. “Go on now. I’ve got this.”
