Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 504:
In Noahâs world, mercy held no place.
His decisions were absolute, designed to eliminate any future threat. Now, with Sadieâs safety compromised, Noah had reached his breaking point. Samuel knew the outcome for the bodyguards would be grim, but he obeyed without hesitation.
As the car sped down the highway, Noah sat in the back, fists clenched, veins prominentâclear signs of his mounting anxiety.
Images of Sadie plagued his mind.
He couldnât bear the thought of losing her.
Three years ago, he had already lost her once. He wouldnât survive it again.
âFaster,â he urged the driver in a hoarse whisper, desperate to be by Sadieâs side.
At the hospital, the red glow of the emergency room sign burned into Noahâs vision.
He stood rooted outside the door, paralyzed.
Every passing second dragged like an eternity.
It felt as though something were crushing his chest, making it hard to breathe.
This kind of fear was unfamiliar to himâthe fear of losing her.
Suddenly, the doors creaked open. Noah snapped to attention.
âDoctor! How is she?â he asked, his voice raw with urgency.
The doctor removed his mask, his expression grim.
âMr. Wall, her condition is precarious.â
âWhat?â Noahâs heart dropped.
âWhat did you say? Please repeat that.â
âShe has suffered a severe head injury and significant intracranial bleeding, which has caused a large clot impacting her nervous systemâ¦â the doctor explained, his tone grave. âWeâve done all we can, but whether she wakes up remains uncertainâ¦â
âWhat do you mean by uncertain? Are you certain of your uncertainty?â Noahâs tone intensified. âI need assurances, doctor. She must survive. Understand?â Noah seized the doctor by the tie, hoisting him into the air, his eyes fiery with fury.
âIf she dies, this hospital will be held accountable,â he said, his voice icy and unyielding.
The doctor struggled for breath under Noahâs intimidating presence. Trembling with fear, he had never witnessed such a terrifying side of Noah and was certain of the dire consequences if Sadieâs condition worsened.
âMr⦠Mr. Wall⦠please⦠letâs remain calm!â the doctor said. âWe⦠we will do everything we can.â
âThatâs not enough; ensure she survives. I need her unharmed! Do you understand?â
âYes, I understand.â The doctor nodded hastily, too frightened to contradict. âThen get back to work! Keep trying to save her!â Noah thrust the doctor back towards the emergency room.
âBang!â
With a loud bang, the doors swung shut, the red light glaring once more. Noah remained at the door, fists clenched so tightly that his nails drew blood from his palms, though he was unaware of the pain.
âSamuel!â he called out in a raspy tone.
âRight here, Mr. Wall,â Samuel said promptly.
âContact the top neurosurgeons globally. Bring them here immediately, regardless of the cost. We must save Sadie.â
âAbsolutely, Mr. Wall. Iâm on it,â Samuel said, quickly dialing numbers on his phone.
Eighteen hours ticked by.
During that time, Noah didnât eat or drink; he stood guard, unflinchingly vigilant outside the emergency room.
