NovelEnglishChapter 58 Chapter 58: Sadie surged forward instinctively, but her legs, stiff from long hours of sitting, nearly buckled beneath her.
Just in time, a strong, warm hand grasped her arm.
It was Jim.
"How is my grandmother?" Sadie asked, her voice shaking heavily with barely contained emotion.

When Sadie received the update, relief washed over her, tears of happiness streaming down her face as she felt a burden lift.
Jim found it difficult to witness such raw emotion.
He averted his eyes, seemingly pained by the sight.
"I need to make a call," he muttered.
He walked briskly towards the sterilization room.
Jim removed his gloves and coat before he called Noah.
"Sadie's at the hospital. You might want to come." Jim believed that as Sadie's husband, Noah should be there to provide support.
"I've already been there," Noah replied flatly.
Jim was momentarily surprised.

"Noah," Jim said coldly, "you may cto regret your choices today." He ended the call abruptly.
Damn it! Cursing under his breath, Jim slammed his fist against the wall. How could he have ended up being friends with someone so oblivious to matters of the heart? On the other end, Noah was left listening to a dial tone, his expression clouding with confusion.
What had he done? Why was Jim so upset? Kyla watched with barely concealed satisfaction, her voice tender but rough. "It hurts..."
She delicately touched her swollen ankle, feigning a grimace of pain 9 m Noah dismissed his lingering doubts and moved toward Kyla, his voice filled with concern. "Are you still feeling pain?" Kyla lightly shook her head, her eyes tinged red, portraying a visage of vulnerability and distress.
"Thank you, Noah. I feel much better now," she murmured appreciatively.
In the meantime, Jim had changed his attire and made his way to the corridor, only to realize Sadie had left.
Sadie, unaware that Jim had sought her out, was preoccupied with the daunting thoughts of Laura's hospital costs.
