Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 208:
Kyla froze for a moment, a brief flicker of panic crossing her face before she masked it with an innocent expression. âNoah, what are you talking about? Iâve just returned from Amberhollow. I donât know anything. What did Jordyn and Beccy do?â
Her eyes widened as she feigned complete ignorance.
Noah studied her carefully, searching her face for any sign of deceit. After a moment, he let it go.
Kylaâs act was convincing as always.
He sneered inwardly but maintained a stoic exterior. âItâs nothing. You can leave.â
Relieved, Kyla exhaled softly and said gently, âThen get some rest. Good night.â
She exited the villa, her high heels echoing against the floor.
Outside, Kyla quickly pulled out her phone and made a call. The line connected, and a tearful voice filled her ear. âMiss Wadeâ¦â It was Jordyn.
Kylaâs voice turned cold, devoid of any sympathy. âStop crying! Did you complete the task or not?â
âMiss Wade, Iâve lost my job, and Beccy has been taken away. Iââ
âIdiots!â Kyla snapped mercilessly. âYou couldnât even manage something this simple.â
Her fingers tightened around the phone, her nails digging into her palm. Kyla had planned everything with precision to tarnish Sadieâs reputation, yet Jordyn hadnât done her part properly.
Subdued by Kylaâs rebuke, Jordyn stifled her sobs, reducing them to quiet sniffles.
âEnough! Stop crying!â Kyla snapped, her impatience clear. âCrying wonât fix this. Listen carefully to what you need to do nextâ¦â
She lowered her voice to a sinister whisper, outlining the subsequent phases of her scheme.

As the night deepened, the streetlights cast Kylaâs shadow across the pavement, elongating it into a sinister silhouette.
She ended the call, her expression swiftly shifting back to one of calm poise, the very image of refined elegance.
Regaining her composure, she walked toward the car waiting by the roadside. She needed rest; tomorrow promised another scene in her elaborate scheme.
Kyla slid into the car, and the driver ignited the engine.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, the stark white lights bathed Sadie in a pale glow, making her complexion appear almost ghostly.
Her hands gripped the bone marrow puncture report, her knuckles turning white.
The doctor adjusted his glasses, his voice heavy with gravity. âMiss Hudson, your childâs condition is quite severe. Heâs been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A bone marrow transplant is imperative at this stage.â
Sadieâs lips quivered, her voice barely a whisper. âDoctor, is there truly no alternative?â
The doctor exhaled deeply. âIâm afraid thereâs no other viable treatment. We need a transplant, and the best chance for a match comes from the childâs biological father.â
âBiological fatherâ¦â Sadie murmured the words, the realization hitting her like a thunderclap, echoing in her mind.
Her heart clenched painfully, the ache radiating through her chest.
The childâs biological father was Noah.
But she couldnât let him find out Averi was his son. Not ever. If Noah knew Averi was his, based on his current attitude toward her, Sadie feared he would take Averi away.
And with his upcoming marriage to Kyla, Averi would inevitably be caught in the crossfire.
As Sadie struggled to control her emotions, her voice came out hoarse. âDoctor, is there any alternative aside from the childâs biological father?â
The doctor met her gaze, his eyes reflecting a trace of pity. âWe can search the bone marrow registry, though itâs less likely to find a match.â
