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

Chapter 1088:noveldrama

Each word from Sadie’s mouth cut deep, like shards of glass embedding themselves into her chest, leaving her speechless. She bit down on her lower lip, but no defense came.

Sadie didn’t feel pacified by Hailey’s crushed demeanor. The fire inside her refused to be extinguished.

She’d had enough. “This is your final warning—where is Noah? Stay silent, and the Burgess Group won’t survive what’s coming.”

Those words triggered a reaction—though not fear. Instead, Hailey let out a low, derisive chuckle.

She lifted her chin, her eyes gleaming with twisted satisfaction. “You think I’m that easy to intimidate? Think again. I won’t flinch at your empty threats.”

With a swift motion, she yanked herself free of Sadie’s grasp, smoothed the creases in her outfit, and wore that smug expression like armor. “As for who Noah truly belongs to—we’ll let him answer that when he regains consciousness.”

Sadie’s breath hitched. An icy unease gripped her chest, a dreadful premonition spreading like frost beneath her skin.

She couldn’t shake the gnawing suspicion that something catastrophic was unfolding—or had already taken place.

Then Jack, who had been watching quietly from the sidelines, suddenly cried out, pointing toward the surgical suite, “Ms. Hudson! Mr. Noel is inside that room!” Panic laced every word.

Sadie whipped her head around, her eyes locking onto the sealed metal doors.

No. This wasn’t possible.

Why was Noah in surgery?

Her thoughts scattered, and it felt as though a steel vice had clamped around her chest, choking the air from her lungs.

Hailey drank in Sadie’s devastated expression, her grin stretching crueler by the second.

She slowly approached Sadie, leaning in close to whisper in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Sadie, you’re already too late. Once Noah wakes, you’ll be erased. He’ll have no recollection of you. His memories—gone. And the only woman he’ll recognize as his wife… will be me. So do yourself a favor—walk away.”

Sadie’s pulse thundered in her ears.

Hailey’s cryptic threat struck a nerve—and then it clicked.

She had seen Hailey meeting with Evan not long ago.

Wasn’t that about making sure Noah would never regain his memories? Could it be…?

Sadie burned with fury, her glare sharp enough to cut through glass as she imagined tearing the smug satisfaction off Hailey’s face. Her breath came in ragged bursts, and when she finally spoke, her voice cracked through the tension like a whip. “How could you treat—Noah this way? Doesn’t he mean anything to you?!”

A sudden, scornful laugh burst from Hailey’s lips—loud and dripping with cruelty, as though she’d just heard a child say something naive.

With an expression dripping with contempt, Hailey tilted her head and gave Sadie a once-over, as if she were something pitiful and beneath notice.

“You’ve got no right to come at me,” Hailey said, her voice cold as steel. “I tried so hard to drag Noah back from death three years ago. And what did I get in return?”
