Chapter 614 Was Noah
Aware
Hailey obviously had a guilty conscience and didn’t have the guts to bite back.
If people somehow connected the dots between Noah and Patrick and realized what she had done, the fallout would be catastrophic.
Luckily, Sadie had managed to bluff her way through. For now, anyway.
She forced herself to stay calm, then she turned to address the stunned patrons.
“Everyone,” Sadie said, her tone steady and slightly apologetic. “I’m truly sorry for the disruption. This was supposed to be a personal matter. As an apology, I would like to cover everyone’s bill.”
The chatter in the cafe died down, then all at once, everyone broke into light applause.
Free drinks and desserts? Who would refuse that deal? First, they were treated to some drama, and now they were getting literal treats? They had practically hit the jackpot!
“How incredibly generous of Ms. Hudson!”
“I know! Not only is she gorgeous, but she is very gracious, too!”
“That other woman was so absurd, twisting the story around like that!”
“Right? She didn’t seem like a good person at all.”
Just like that, everyone was rallying behind Sadie, and Hailey’s accusations were forgotten. All they could talk about now was Sadie’s magnanimity.
Sadie just smiled and nodded in thanks as they offered kind words and praises.
At some point, Blaine sidled up next to her again. Judging by his expression, his mood had cooled off, if only a
little.
Once Sadie finished making the arrangements with the waiter, she ushered him to the door. “Let’s go.”
The pair walked out of the establishment side by side.
Without warning, Blainė stopped short, his eyes narrowed into slits.
Sadie tilted her head to the side, her brows furrowed as she asked, “What is it?”
Blaine shoved his hands into his trouser pockets and whipped around to face her.
Sadie felt her heart skip a beat at his sharp, questioning gaze.
“Sadie,” Blaine began slowly, like he was choosing his words carefully. “Be honest with me. You’ve been hung

up on Noah all these years.” He paused to peer at her more closely. And what–tem go dowodu o Patrick? But then again, you spoke of your late husband… Does that meats
Sadie’s face changed when she realized what he was about to say
She lunged forward and slapped her hand over Blaine’s mouth before he could get the rest of his words our
Her eyes darted around, her heart racing. Thankfully, they were standing at a rather isolated spot to one could
have overheard their conversation
Blaine had almost spilled everything!
Sadie shot him a warning look, even as her lips curled into a strained half–smile.
“What are you even talking about?” she whispered, torn between panic and frustration “Stop thinking found thoughts. You’re reading into something that isn’t there.”
Then she dropped her hand and straightened her clothes. “Don’t you have work to do? You should head back Blaine raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by her agitation. There was a knowing geam in his eyes, but he refrained from pushing her any further.
Instead, he glanced at his watch and obliged her. “You’re right. I guess I should go. Well, then. Take care.”
He gave Sadie a small nod and one last, meaningful look before walking toward his car.
Sadie watched him disappear inside his vehicle and let out a long exhale. That was dose.
Pulling herself together, she hiked her purse higher on her shoulder and got into the black car waiting at the
curb.
As she did so, she failed to notice the figure that stepped out from behind a tree just down the street
It was Hailey. She had come back.
Hailey glared in Sadie’s direction as the car drove off, her hands clenched at her sides.
That loathsome woman, humiliating her in public like that! She swore she would make Sadie pay for today’s
incident.
No sooner had Hailey made this vow than something else occurred to her.
What was Sadie doing at the obstetrics department? Was she hiding some kind of private issue?
No, it didn’t seem likely. With how healthy and radiant Sadie looked earlier, there was no way she was having issues in that department.
Something didn’t feel right, and it nagged at Hailey like a fish bone stuck in her throat. She had to get to the bottom of this.
Without a second thought, she hailed a cab and went straight to the hospital Sadie had just left.
The lobby was bustling with people.
Being no stranger to the place, Hailey made a beeline for the nurses‘ station at the obstetrics department. By the time she reached it, her expression had changed dramatically–her eyes were wide and her face was

tight with worry.
“Excuse me, miss,” she said, leaning over the counter, her voice urgent. “Did a woman named Sadie Hudson come in for a check–up earlier?”
The nurse looked up and frowned in confusion. “I’m sorry, but you are…?”
Hailey quickly swiped at her dry eyes. “I’m her cousin,” she said, tapping her palm against her chest. I just heard she might have been admitted and rushed over as soon as I could. I’m really worried about her. Can you tell me what’s wrong with her? Is it serious?”
The nurse studied Hailey for a moment. After noting the resemblance between the two women and her apparent concern, she was somehow convinced that Hailey really was Sadie’s cousin.
She turned to her screen, saying, “Try not to worry. I’m sure your cousin is fine.”
After a brief search through the records, she found Sadie’s file and checked her diagnosis.
The nurse’s face lit up, and she gave Hailey a warm smile. “It’s nothing bad. It’s good news, actually. Your cousin is pregnant, just a little over four weeks along. She just needs to take better care of herself”
Hailey froze, her face going blank. Her brain shut down.
Sadie was pregnant? But that was impossible. Whose baby….
Noah’s!
It had to be Noah! Who else could it be?
Hailey blinked and snapped back to her senses. She turned abruptly and walked away without even thanking the nurse. She felt like she had just been hit by a truck, and her mind was still reeling.
The nurse could only click her tongue and shake her head. What kind of reaction was that? Was that the proper reaction to news that a beloved cousin was expecting? What a weird woman.
The nurse didn’t pay any more attention to the matter and got back to work.
Meanwhile, Hailey wandered aimlessly outside the hospital.
There was only one thought in her mind, and it kept playing over and over again- she was finished.
Sadie was pregnant with Noah’s baby! What was she supposed to do now?
Hailey halted in her steps, her heart thudding dully inside her chest.
Was Noah aware of the pregnancy?
Considering his recent fixation on Sadie, surely he wouldn’t let her go to the hospital all by herself if he knew she was carrying his child.
But Sadie had gone alone. That meant Noah didn’t know.
Yes! He still had no idea!
Hailey grasped at that sliver of hope and clung to it for dear life.
No matter what else happened, Noah must never know about the child.

If he found out, Hailey knew that he would drop everything and run back to Sadie–and their little family
If that happened, everything she had worked hard for, everything she had sacrificed over the years. would all go up in smoke.
