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

Chapter 174

Chapter 174:

“Hello?” Noah spoke into the phone.

Kyla’s frail voice responded, her tone quivering with distress, “Noah, I… I’m feeling terrible…” She gasped, her voice breaking. “My chest… it hurts so badly… Can you come and take me to the hospital?”

Noah hesitated for a moment, his indecision palpable even over the phone.

Sadie remained silent, her gaze steady on him. She felt no need to respond. Kyla’s wellbeing was not her concern.

“Sadie…” Noah started, as if he wanted to explain further, but then he stopped himself. He stood up, collected his coat, and left the restaurant without another glance.

Sadie watched him leave, feeling a chill settle over her heart. It was clear as ever; Kyla was always his priority. And she, Sadie, was just a temporary fill-in.
