Chapter 205 Chapter 205: Noah cast a fleeting glance at her but remained silent. His thoughts were entirely occupied with Averi, leaving Kyla's presence barely registering in his mind.

Sadie drew in a slow breath, forcing herself to stay composed. Locking eyes with him, she responded evenly, "I've already told you. Averi is my child with Alex. If you don't believe me, get a paternity test done." A flicker of tension passed through Noah as he registered the unwavering certainty in her gaze.
Nearby, Kyla pursed her lips before speaking in a honeyed tone. "Noah, your mother invited us to dinner at the Wall Manor tonight. Since Sadie has personal matters to handle, why don't we go on ahead?" Noah, frustration mounting, turned to her. "Go without me." "Noah..."

She knew this wasn't the end of it, but her resolve to protect Averi remained unwavering.
In the hospital room, Alex noticed the redness and swelling around Sadie's eyes, feeling a twinge of concern. "Sadie, what happened?" he asked softly.
"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding," Sadie replied.
Meanwhile, after leaving the hospital, Kyla was gripped by panic. How had things escalated so quickly during her brief absence? Noah had even refused dinner at Wall Manor for that woman.
Impatient, Kyla urged the driver, "Sir, please, can you go faster?" Catching her anxious expression in the rearview mirror, the driver wordlessly accelerated.
