Chapter 321

Chapter 321:

Lexi, anxiety clear on her face, was waiting. She rushed toward Sadie, saying, “You’re here, Sadie! Mrs. Stewart is still in the bedroom.” Without pausing for questions, Sadie rushed into the bedroom.

Laura was lying on the bed, her complexion ghostly pale, her breaths faint. “Grandma!” exclaimed Sadie, rushing to the bedside, her hands shaking as she grasped Laura’s.

Noah didn’t hesitate; he immediately called 911. He calmly said, “The ambulance is coming. We need to move your grandma gently off the bed.”

Working together, Sadie and Lexi delicately maneuvered Laura, lifting her to carry her downstairs. Noah went downstairs first to ensure the security team cleared a path for the ambulance’s arrival.

Soon after, the ambulance arrived, and paramedics swiftly transferred Laura onto a stretcher. Throughout the ordeal, Sadie stayed glued to Laura’s side, following each move.

Turning to one of the medics, she inquired, “Doctor, how is she?”

“The situation is still unclear. We’ll conduct more tests at the hospital,” responded the doctor.

With urgency, the ambulance then sped toward the hospital.

Inside the ambulance, Sadie kept a firm hold on Laura’s hand, her heart silently calling for a miracle. Next to her, Noah sat, his face a mask of calm with underlying concern. Back at the apartment, Lexi lingered by the door, her hands clasped tightly, her anxiety evident.

As the ambulance faded into the night, she finally managed to compose herself enough to dial Alex’s number. The phone barely rang twice before he answered.

“Hello, Lexi, what’s the matter?” Alex’s weary voice came through, laced with a hint of worry.

“Mr. Howe, it’s Mrs. Stewart. She…” Lexi’s words were stifled by her emotions, as she struggled to articulate the gravity of the situation.

“What happened to her? Please, breathe and explain what occurred,” replied Alex, his voice tightening.

“Mrs. Stewart fainted. A man and Sadie have taken her to the hospital,” Lexi responded, her voice faltering.

A pause filled the other end before Alex spoke again, his voice unsteady. “Tell me which hospital they’re at. I’m heading there right now.”

With urgency, Lexi relayed the name of the hospital, feeling her anxiety mount. She was uncertain if contacting Alex had been the correct decision. But in her view, Alex—Laura’s future grandson-in-law and father to Averi—deserved to be fully informed.

The identity of the man with Sadie earlier remained a mystery to her, and considering the late hour, it seemed quite unsafe for Sadie to be with him. Once the call ended, Lexi began to pace the living room, anxiety causing her heart to race.

In the hushed atmosphere of the hospital’s emergency room entrance, Sadie murmured, “Grandma…”

A pair of warm hands gently pulled her into a comforting embrace. Noah’s presence steadied her in the midst of uncertainty. She leaned into him, her head resting on his chest, seeking solace.

“Everything will be okay,” he reassured her, his hand gently stroking her back.

Silently, Sadie gripped his lapel, her knuckles pale with tension. Her tears soaked his shirt quietly as they fell. In those moments, her thoughts were consumed by Laura; overwhelmed by the dread of losing her. Noah’s support was crucial to her right then.
