Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 702:
Coyle staggered as if struck, his face draining of color.
His heirâhis only sonâwas destroyed.
It felt like the sky had cracked open and come crashing down.
Briley rushed to his side, catching his arm.
âDad! Are you alright?â
But Coyle couldnât answer. Words abandoned him. His lungs refused to draw breath.
There was only the crushing weight of devastation pressing on his chest.
Hours blurred into a sleepless night. At dawn, Sutton finally stirred.
His eyes fluttered openâand then he saw it.
âMy leg⦠Whatâwhereâs my leg?â His voice rose into a raw, animal scream. âNoâno! Itâs gone! They took my leg! Theyâll pay for this! Iâll make them pay!â
Coyle stood at his sonâs bedside, trembling, tears silently streaking his weathered face.
âSutton⦠donât be afraid,â he choked out, gripping his sonâs hand. âIâm here. And I swearâIâll make them pay for every drop of blood.â

Sutton clutched his fatherâs arm, desperation turning into fury.
âRevenge, Dad! You have to get revenge for me! It was Noah!â Suttonâs voice cracked with rage and disbelief. âThat bastardâheâs not dead! Heâs alive! Heâs Patrick! Patrick Noel is Noah! He did this to me! Heâs the one who ruined me!â
The words slammed into Coyle like a punch to the chest, Patrick⦠was Noah?
His blood ran cold. His mind raced.
âShut your mouth!â Coyle barked. âYouâre deliriousâhow could Patrick possibly be Noah? Have you completely lost your senses?â Coyle tried to hide the shock within him.
If it was trueâ¦
If Noah had survivedâ¦
And if he knew what they had done three years agoâ¦
Then his entire family was already living on borrowed time.
Rage boiled in Coyleâs throat. He nearly choked on it.
Meanwhile, Sutton clung to his father like a man drowning, his voice rising into a manic plea.
âI swear itâs true, Dad! I saw his face! I know it was him! He came after meâhe made me like this!â Tears streamed down Suttonâs face, raw and uncontrollable.
âYou have to believe me! You have to get revenge for me!â Coyle stared at his son, his expression unreadable.
He wanted to dismiss it. Call it trauma-fueled nonsense.
But Suttonâs eyesâwild, glassy, desperateâwerenât the eyes of a liar.
Something inside Coyle twisted.
If Noah was still alive⦠Then who was in the urn?
He took several slow breaths, gripping his cane like a lifeline. Then, with forced calm, he said, âTell me everything. Exactly what happened. No skipping details.â
Suttonâs breath rattled in his chest. His gaze was unfocused, distant. He began recounting the events of the previous night in detail.
Coyle listened, his face growing darker with every word.
But when he heard Sutton mention that Patrick called him âMr. Wall,â Coyleâs heart instantly lifted.
