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

Chapter 1056:

Noah took the admission form from the doctor’s hand, nodding slowly, his mind still reeling.

Two months.

His thoughts drifted back to that night after Sadie was kidnapped. Could it have been from that night?

The realization struck him like a surge of electricity.

The child was his!

A rush of joy poured over him, so fierce it nearly overwhelmed him. A smile spread across his face; his eyes lit up with quiet excitement. For a moment, he forgot he was wearing a mask. He forgot he was Patrick—the powerful figure everyone watched.

Right now, he was just a man about to be a father. He quickly left to complete the admission process.

When Noah returned to the hospital room carrying basic toiletries, Sadie had already woken.

She leaned weakly against the headboard, her face pale, her gaze distant.

Sharon sat at her side, her voice gentle as she tried to comfort her. “Sadie, thank goodness you’re awake. You scared me so badly. The doctor said you’re pregnant; you’ve got to take care of yourself. You’re not alone anymore. Mrs. Hudson in heaven wouldn’t want to see you like this.”

Sadie forced a smile, one that hurt more than tears.

Her voice came out rough, weighed down by exhaustion. “I’m fine, Sharon. If I can find the person who killed my parents, if I can let them rest in peace, then even if I die now, I won’t have any regrets.”

That was the resolve she had carried for seventeen years—the reason she kept going.

Noah had just reached the doorway when her words reached him, clear and steady. His steps stopped.noveldrama

He hadn’t known how deep her obsession ran. He hadn’t realized she would trade her life for this.

For her parents, she was willing to forget herself, willing to risk everything, even their unborn child.

His chest tightened; a sharp ache spread inside him.

He stepped back quietly and stood still in the hallway.

After a moment, he pulled out his phone and dialed Jack. “Look into Sadie’s parents’ past. And the fire at Faron Retreat five years ago. I want every detail. Keep the investigation quiet; no one should catch wind of it.”

On the other end, Jack hesitated, confused.

Why was his boss suddenly digging into Sadie’s family?

But he answered without delay, “Yes, Mr. Noel.”

Noah hung up. He took a slow breath, steadying the storm inside him before walking back into the hospital room.
