Chapter 55

Chapter 55:

Beside her, Noah stood impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, his handsome features set in a stoic mask.

Confusion clouded Sadie’s thoughts.

What were they doing here?

To Noah, her confusion mirrored guilt.

He approached with a grave expression and said sharply, “I kept trying to get you to the hospital, but you resisted. It seems it wasn’t that you didn’t want to come, but rather that you wanted someone else to be here with you.”

His piercing gaze swept from Alex back to Sadie.

Feeling the growing strain, Alex instinctively positioned himself between Sadie and Noah. “Noah, this isn’t what it looks like. You’re misunderstanding…”

But Noah didn’t let him finish, pushing him aside with a brisk movement.

Alex staggered, catching himself after a few unsteady steps.

Holding back his frustration, Noah seized Sadie’s wrist firmly. “You’re coming with me now.”

He assumed he was emotionally detached from Sadie.

Nevertheless, witnessing her closeness with another man unexpectedly irked him. Noah held onto Sadie’s wrist tightly, causing her to grimace as she attempted to break free.

“I’m not leaving with you! Go alone if you must!” she said firmly.

Her voice was unwavering and clear.

Noah’s temper flared at her words.

He stepped forward, seized her waist, and held her close, saying, “You’re coming with me, whether you like it or not!”

Despite her forceful attempts to escape, Sadie was unable to break his hold.

“Noah! Remember, our divorce is imminent. Soon, there will be nothing between us!” she yelled out.

Her declaration momentarily pained Noah, but his anger quickly submerged that sensation.

With a stern expression, he lifted her over his shoulder. “Stop talking! We’ll figure out the future when it comes!”

The pressure of his shoulder against her abdomen sent a jolt of pain through Sadie, causing her to wince.

As Sadie thought of the child she was carrying, her face drained of color.

The way Noah was carrying her posed a risk to the baby.

Realizing the danger, Sadie stopped struggling.

She softened her voice and pleaded, “Set me down, Noah. I promise I’ll follow on foot.”

Seeing Noah’s concern for Sadie sparked a flicker of envy in Kyla, yet she masked it with worry. “Yes, this is a hospital. It wouldn’t look right if people saw.”

Kyla’s remark snapped Noah out of his rage.

He was reminded that he would be divorcing Sadie soon.

Having this scene captured on camera would certainly cast a negative light on him.

After a brief pause, Noah carefully lowered Sadie to the floor, his voice distant and cold. “Let’s go.”

Surprisingly, Sadie swiftly stepped away, saying, “I can’t go.”

Noah’s irritation flared again. “Sadie!”

He advanced to pull her back, but paused as he encountered her pleading look.

Her voice was quiet, almost delicate, as she pleaded, “Noah, please let me go. My grandmother’s surgery is starting soon. Please, let me stay.”
