Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 83

Chapter 83:

Noah brushed off the suggestion with a wave of his hand, his voice resolute. “That’s out of the question. Sadie’s heart has belonged to me for years. The idea of her turning to someone else is unthinkable.”

His conviction seemed unwavering, but a shadow of doubt flickered across his face.

However, Kyla’s calm demeanor masked the sharpness of her words as they pierced through his defenses. “But just yesterday, Sadie asked you to leave her hospital room and chose to keep Alex by her side. Earlier, you came with a present and she barely cracked a smile. But Alex? She welcomed him with open arms. Doesn’t that seem odd to you?”

Noah’s response stalled, caught in his throat. Kyla’s words struck a nerve, cutting deeper than he expected. Sadie’s disregard for him and her attention on Alex felt like salt in an open wound, stinging with every moment.

As the antiseptic seeped into his skin, it drained the wound of its color, turning it a bleak, ghostly pale. The wound looked excruciating, but he didn’t make a sound, as if pain was nothing to him. The pain in his heart outweighed the one on his body. He looked distant, trapped in his own thoughts.
