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

Chapter 397

Chapter 397:

“Your mother once lived here.”

Her heart leaped, a mix of hope and excitement coursing through her. She gripped the note tightly, took a deep breath, and attempted to steady her emotions.

Eager for answers, she quickly dialed Noah’s number.

The phone rang endlessly, but there was no answer.

Refusing to be deterred, she tried again, but still, no response came.

Uncertain of Noah’s whereabouts or when he might return, she felt a deep resolve to take the next steps on her own. She knew she had to find her mother urgently.

Grabbing her bag, Sadie quickly left the hotel and hailed a cab, giving the driver the address on the note.

Throughout the journey, a blend of anxiety and anticipation churned within her. She clung to the hope of finding her mother, yet feared another disappointment.

After about an hour’s drive, the cab stopped at the entrance of an old neighborhood.

Sadie paid the driver, stepped out, and took a deep breath before walking into the dilapidated area.
