Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret
Chapter 724:
Sensing his unease, Averi tugged at his sleeve, his innocent voice laced with concern. âSir, are you alright? Do you feel sick?â
Just then, the hum of wheels rolling filled the air. Samuel hurriedly pushed Sadieâs wheelchair toward them.
Minutes ago, Averi had vanished, leaving Sadie in a panic. The tension in her shoulders eased only when she spotted her son, safe and sound.
Seeing his mother, Averi rushed over, his face lighting up with pride.
âMom, Iâm fine. This gentleman brought me inside.â
Sadieâs attention shifted to the man standing nearby. When her gaze landed on Noahâs face, she froze. What on earth was he doing here?
At the thought that they werenât far from her room, Sadie quickly composed herself and instructed Samuel, âSamuel, take Mr. Noel to Room 302 and call a doctor.â
Without hesitation, Samuel supported Noah and led him away. Sadie followed shortly after, maneuvering her wheelchair while guiding Averi back to their suite.
The doctor performed a quick assessment before stepping aside. âMr. Noel is experiencing symptoms of memory loss. Did he sustain a serious head injury in the past?â
Sadieâs breath hitched, but she nodded. The memoriesâones she tried to buryâwere inescapable.

The doctor acknowledged her response, prescribed medication, and advised, âHe should get plenty of rest and avoid emotional strain.â
âUnderstood. Thank you,â she replied.
Just as the doctor turned to leave, she couldnât help asking, âIs there a possibility his memory could return?â
The doctorâs expression grew uncertain. âI canât say for sure. Neurology isnât my specialty. Consulting a specialist would be best.â
Sadieâs eyes dimmed slightly, but she offered a polite nod. âI appreciate your help.â
After Samuel escorted the doctor out, silence settled over the room. Sadie attempted to stand, her back wounds aching as she steadied herself against the wall. Slowly, she made her way toward the bedroom.
Noah lay motionless on the bed, his silver mask reflecting the soft glow of moonlight.
Hesitating briefly, Sadie reached forward, her fingers brushing the cool surface as she carefully removed it.
As the mask slipped away, she found herself staring at a face she had known all too well. Three years had passed. Countless nights, this very image had haunted her dreamsâclear yet distant.
Now, with him right in front of her, reality felt almost surreal.
Her chest tightened.
Eyes brimming with emotion, she lifted a trembling hand, compelled to touch the familiar contours of Noahâs face. But before she could, Noahâs eyes snapped open.
His gaze was sharp, filled with reflexive suspicion.
In an instant, he seized her wrist and, with swift force, flipped her beneath him.
A sharp gasp escaped her lips as pain flared from her back.
âOuch!â She whimpered in pain.
Realizing who he had pinned down, Noah stilled. The wariness in his expression faded, replaced by something softerâconcern.
