Chapter 523

Chapter 523:

“My father?” Alex’s laugh was bitter. “He’s only interested in our family’s gains. Since when has he considered my feelings?”

Aliza trembled with anger. “Alex, you’ll regret this!”

“Regret?” Alex shook his head dismissively. “My only regret is ever meeting you.” He finished his wine in one gulp and left the room.

Aliza stared after him, her eyes seething with fury and defiance.

“Alex, you won’t get your way. And Sadie, she won’t escape my wrath either,” she hissed, her voice laced with venom.

Meanwhile, Sadie lay restless in her hospital bed, her mind tormented. Noah’s words pierced her like thorns, leaving her feeling trapped and breathless.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, bathing Sadie’s pale face in a gentle glow.

Her eyelids fluttered open, yet her vision stayed blurred.

“Miss Hudson, you’re awake?” A nurse walked into the room, her tone laced with concern.

“How are you feeling? Any discomfort?”

“My eyesight seems to be getting worse…” Sadie’s voice quavered.

The nurse’s expression shifted to alarm. “Don’t worry, Miss Hudson. I’ll call the doctor immediately.”

Shortly after, an ophthalmologist arrived to examine Sadie.

After a thorough examination and a few questions, the ophthalmologist offered a reassuring conclusion.

“Miss Hudson, try not to worry. Your condition is reversible. I’ll prescribe some medication. Follow the directions, rest well, and stay positive. Your vision should improve gradually.”

Relieved, Sadie nodded.

The doctor offered some advice and then exited the room.

The nurse handed Sadie a glass of warm water to help her take her medication. “Miss Hudson, please rest. If you need anything at all, just let me know,” the nurse advised warmly.

“Thank you,” Sadie murmured.

Once alone, Sadie lay back, but sleep eluded her.

Her mind churned with thoughts, tangled and jumbled, keeping her from finding peace.

“Noah… What do you really want from me?” she whispered, her voice laden with emotion.

Outside her door, the muted tones of a conversation caught her attention. Sadie strained to listen, her blurred vision making out two nurses at the doorway, murmuring to each other.

“I heard Mr. Wall is deeply concerned about Miss Hudson…”

“Yes, he even brought in a top ophthalmologist from abroad. Not just anyone gets that kind of treatment…”

“Hey, what do you think about Miss Hudson’s background? To have Mr. Wall so devoted…”

“Who knows? But judging by Mr. Wall’s actions, she must be special to him…”

“That makes sense…”

The quiet conversation of the nurses reached Sadie’s ears.

A wave of bitterness washed over her.

Did Noah truly care about her?

Possibly.
