Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 703:
A flicker of something stirred in his chest.
If Patrick was Noah⦠why did he call Sutton that?
Could it be⦠he lost his memory? Three years ago, Noah had thrown himself in front of Sadie, taken that brutal hit, and fallen into a coma.
Now, he had reappeared as Haileyâs husband, cold and hostile toward Sadie.
It didnât seem like Sutton was mistaken.
Amnesiaâit was the only explanation that made sense. And it changed everything.
Coyleâs thoughts shifted into overdrive, weaving strategy through shock.
Everyone in their world believed Noah was dead.
And for the sake of his family, Noah needed to stay that way. Coyle turned slowly toward Sutton, who lay broken in the bed, eyes glazed with pain. Coyleâs own eyes gleamedâhard, calculating.
He leaned in close, his voice barely above a whisper.
âSutton⦠listen to me carefully. You canât tell a soul. Not even Briley. No one. Not a word. Understand?â

Sutton hesitated, confusion clouding his face. âDad, why? After everything Noah has done to us, why should we help him keep his identity a secret?â
Coyle chuckled darkly, eyes narrowing with a sinister glint. âFool! If Patrick steps into Noahâs shoes, how do you expect us to gain anything from him? Do you want to compete with Sadie alone or both her and Noah?â
In that instant, realization washed over Sutton.
âBut Dad, does this mean I have to endure all this quietly? My injuries, my thirst for vengeanceâshould I just let it all go?â Sutton struggled to accept his broken leg and the bitter reality that he must suppress his fury and act as if nothing had occurred, despite all he had suffered.
Coyleâs lips curled into a malicious grin. âOf course not, Sutton. Trust me, you will get your justice. He will pay dearlyâtenfold. But this isnât the right moment. We must bide our time.â
A dangerous gleam flickered in Coyleâs gaze, his words laced with madness.
Abruptly, he turned toward the doorway, signaling Sutton to hold his tongue. Sutton caught on immediately and clamped his mouth shut.
Footsteps echoed from the hallway. Briley stepped in, carrying a food tray. Concern shadowed her face as she looked at her brother lying weakly in the hospital bed.
âSutton, youâre awake. How are you feeling? Are you hungry? I brought your favoriteâchicken noodle soup.â
She moved to hand Sutton the bowl, but Sutton smacked it away, sending the contents splattering onto the floor.
Briley gasped, her complexion draining. âSutton, whatâs wrong? Are you in pain?â
Sutton stared blankly at the ceiling, ignoring her completely. Panic rising, Briley turned to Coyle. âDad, whatâs happening to him?â
Coyleâs tone was firm. âBriley, leave us. I need to speak privately with him.â
Sutton.â
Hearing this, Briley hesitated for a moment before nodding, casting a worried glance at her brother before exiting. Earlier, while outside the room, she had overheard fragments of their conversation. Though much was unclear, the names âNoahâ and âPatrickâ stood out sharply.
