Chapter 226 Chapter 226: With a deep breath, she squeezed her eyes shut, her heart pleading for a miracle.

The phone continued to ring, each second stretching into an eternity.

Just as despair was about to claim her, the line connected. "Hello?" "Hello?" On the other end of the line ca gentle yet distant female voice.

Sadie's grip on the phone tightened instinctively.

It was Kyla.

The hospital room was silent apart from Averi's soft breaths and the steady beeps of the medical monitors. Why was Kyla on the line instead of Noah? With rising anxiety suppressed within her, Sadie managed a steady tone. "Where's Noah?" "He's had too much to drink. He's not in a state to talk right now." Kyla's voice was soothing, apologetic, yet carried an undertone of satisfaction.

A heavy feeling settled in Sadie's stomach.

Drunk? Memories of Noah's indifference toward her, contrasting with his affection for Kyla, filled her with a painful bitterness.

Naturally. Noah and Kyla were set to marry. It was logical for them to be together.

A rueful smile crossed Sadie's lips.

Why should she expect anything different? The soft hospital lighting threw her weary features into stark relief, accentuating her fatigue.

She bit her lip with such force she nearly drew blood.

For Averi's sake, she had no choice but to swallow her dignity.

The false innocence in Kyla's voice was revolting to her.

She was aware that Kyla was deliberately taunting her, basking in her own triumph.

Opening her eyes, Sadie retorted, "Enough with the act. I'm well aware of who you are. You've secured your place beside Noah. And about Kairi, aren't you worried about karma?" Kyla's laughter was light, mocking, as if Sadie's words were a joke. “Karma? Sadie, such naivety. Do you actually believe in divine justice? Strength rules, that's the only law. You left the country once; you should have stayed away. What brought you back?" Sadie's hands balled into fists.

She had to bear this for Averi's sake.

"I'm pleading with you. Save Averi, and I'll do whatever you ask. I'll leave this Herant and disappear forever." Her Voice was strained, laden with despair.

After a brief pause, Kyla responded, forever? Showyou mean it, amusement in her tone, "Disappear the you m er tone, Sadie." Sadie's heart was in her throat.

But before she could respond, Kyla hung up abruptly, deleting the call log right after.

"What are you doing?" A deep male voice suddenly broke the silencen startling Kyla so much that she nearly knocked over the glass on the table. She turned quickly to see Noah standing at the staircase.

He was dressed in casual loungewear, the collar of his shirt slightly open, revealing his seductive collarbones.

His handsface was unreadable, giving nothing away.
