NovelEnglishChapter 203 Chapter 203: Rushing forward, Sadie asked, her voice rough with worry, "Doctor, how's my son?" The doctor, mask in hand, looked serious. "His fever isn't subsiding, and the situation is concerning. It's not a simple cold or fever. We recommend a bone marrow puncture to identify the cause." "A bone marrow puncture?" Sadie froze, filled with fear.
"The procedure is crucial for a quick diagnosis and effective treatment," the doctor continued with patience. "It's best we act swiftly." Dizziness hit Sadie again, her body nearly giving way.
Averi seemed too fragile for such an invasive test.

Overwhelmed by worry, she managed to ask, “Isn't there any other option? Must we do a bone marrow puncture?" The doctor's sigh indicated the gravity of the situation. "This is our best option at this moment." Alex approached, his hand comforting on Sadie's shoulder. "Sadie, trust that the doctors will do their best for Averi." As Sadie looked into Alex's eyes, her tears flowed freely. In the end, she signed the consent form with a trembling hand.
An hour had passed when Averi, still under anesthesia, was gently wheeled into his hospital room. Sadie, seated beside his bed, clutched his tiny hand, her eyes wide open throughout the night.
Outside the hospital, a sleek black Maybach sat silently by the curb, its interior bathed in soft light. Noah, brooding in the driver's seat, held a cigarette loosely between his fingers. The echo of Sadie's revelation haunted him: "Averi is my child with Alex." In a burst of anger, Noah flicked the cigarette butt into the night and pounded the steering wheel with his fist. He refused to accept this.
Taking a deep breath, he grabbed his phone and hastily dialed Samuel.
"Find out everything about Sadie's child." Samuel's confusion was palpable. "Child? What child?" Impatiently, Noah clarified, "Sadie's child. He's in the hospital. Investigate him! And fire Jordyn." With a heavy sigh, he ended the call and massaged his temples. Samuel, still bewildered, knew better than to probe further and started his investigation without delay.
In the morning, Kyla's heels clicked sharply against the floor as she made her way back to Wall Group. Having completed her business trip, Kyla had arranged to return on the first available flight.
"Where's Noah?" She glanced around, but the office was empty.

Stowing her phone, Kyla made her way toward Jordyn's office. It was also empty, the desk neatly tidied up. Alwave of apprehension caused Kyla's heart to skip a beat. She halted a colleague passing by. "Where's Jordyn?" she inquired. The colleague paused briefly, then answered with caution, "She's been fired, Miss Wade."
"Fired?" Kyla was stunned. Jordyn's sudden dismissal didn't make ke sense. A nagging suspicion crept into her & mind. Had Noah discovered something significant already?
At the hospital, Sadie remained beside Averi's bed, her gaze fixed on m her son's small, pale face. Mall Paleface, Alex M stayed beside her in silence, occasionally handing her a glass of water and murmuring a few reassuring words.
