Chapter 513:

“How is that possible?” Aliza muttered, her mind going blank. Hadn’t she paid those thugs to leave town? How did Noah catch them all?

“What’s the situation now?” Aliza forced the words out, her heart hammering in her chest.

“Sadie is still in the hospital,” came the reply. “As for our men, they managed not to implicate you.”

“What did they say?” Aliza’s voice was barely above a whisper.

“They… They said it was Mrs. Susannah Howe who sent them.”

“Susannah?” Aliza repeated, momentarily taken aback. Then she understood. Earlier, when Alex returned home, he had angrily questioned Susannah about why she had hurt Sadie. So that was why.

Aliza finally breathed a sigh of relief as her tense nerves relaxed. “At least they had the sense not to mention my name.”

Things were fine as long as those thugs kept her name out of the matter.

“Miss Perry, what should we do now?” the person asked, worry and trepidation clear in their voice.

“What do you mean, what we should do?” Aliza snapped. “Since they said it was Susannah, let Noah and the authorities believe it was her.”

“But—”

“I don’t want to hear any buts!” Aliza interrupted sharply. “From now on, the incident has nothing to do with us. Do you understand?”

“Hmm. I understand.”

“Good. I have to go.” With that, Aliza hung up.

She leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes, and let out a long breath.

Sadie… Aliza wished that the woman would never wake up again.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, the steady sound of the heart monitor echoed: Beep… Beep… Beep…

The piercing sound of the alarm shattered the tranquil silence inside the room.

The once steady EKG line suddenly went wild, moving in an erratic pattern.

“Oh, no! The patient is going into cardiac arrest!”

The doctor on duty turned pale as he rushed to Sadie’s bedside, quickly assessing her condition.

“Prepare the defibrillator! Administer one milligram of adrenaline intravenously!”

The nurses sprang into action. In the blink of an eye, an entire team was working rapidly inside the room, and the air grew heavy with tension.

Noah jolted awake from the cot, his eyes immediately going to the monitor. It felt as though his own heart struggled to beat as he watched the fluctuating line on the screen.

“What’s happening?” he shouted in alarm, barely recognizing his own voice amid the panic.

“Please stay calm, Mr. Wall. We’re doing everything we can for the patient,” the doctor tried to reassure Noah, keeping his focus on the defibrillator equipment they were setting up.

“What the hell!” Noah shoved a nurse aside and scrambled to Sadie’s side. His eyes were red and wild with desperation as he reached for her pale face.

“Wake up, Sadie! Do you hear me? You can’t die. I can’t lose you. Wake up!”

Noah couldn’t even begin to imagine what he would do if Sadie left him like this. He didn’t dare to think about it.

“Stand back! Ready!” The doctor adjusted the voltage before positioning the paddles on Sadie’s chest.
