Chapter 408

Her fingers clenched tightly around the note containing the hospital’s address. So, all this time, Isabel had been paying attention to that child.

Kyla started the engine and drove to the hospital. On the way, images of Sadie and Noah kept flashing in her mind, fueling the jealousy burning in the pit of her stomach.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Kyla sought out Dr. Arnold Gray.

“Excuse me, Dr. Gray,” Kyla said. “I was sent by Mrs. Wall to pick up a DNA report.”

Arnold adjusted his glasses. “Oh! Mr. Wall’s DNA report, right? Please wait here a moment.”

The man went to his file cabinet and took out a sealed envelope, which he handed over to Kyla.

Kyla’s heart raced, and her palms were sweaty as she took the envelope. She took a deep breath and told herself to calm down.

“Thank you,” she said to the doctor.

She could barely wait to see the file; she yanked the folder open the moment she stepped out of the hospital.

When she saw the results of the test, she felt her entire world shift. The ground beneath her feet seemed to disappear.

“The probability of paternity is 99.99%.”

The words echoed in her mind over and over.

She clutched the report so tightly that her fingernails almost tore through the paper. After a while, Kyla composed herself and returned the report to the folder. Once again, she forced herself to stay calm as she walked to her car and started the engine. She drove straight to the Wall Group building.

The Wall Group towered over most other skyscrapers, looking grand and imposing from every angle.

Kyla strode across the lobby, her high heels clacking loudly against the marble floor. She was carrying the thermos of soup Isabel had prepared especially for Noah.

“Miss Wade?” the receptionist called out in obvious surprise. “You’re back.” It caught the attention of the other employees nearby, and they soon cast curious glances in Kyla’s direction.

News of her transfer to Slimron had long since made the rounds within the company, so her sudden appearance was understandably causing a stir. Kyla mustered a faint smile and raised the thermos. “I’m here to see Noah.”

Everyone immediately understood, and they looked like they collectively sighed to themselves. Old flames were quite hard to extinguish, despite the missteps that might have occurred. To their minds, Noah still wasn’t able to let Kyla go.

And so, Kyla made her way to Noah’s office unimpeded. She knocked at the door.

“Come in,” came the deep, magnetic voice from inside.

Kyla pushed the door open and entered. Noah was sitting at his desk, his brows furrowed as he stared at his computer screen.

“Noah, I brought you some soup,” Kyla said softly, placing the thermos on the other side of his desk.

Noah looked up then. Something flashed across his eyes when they fell on Kyla, but it was gone in an instant. “What are you doing here?”

“Your mother asked me to bring you soup and check on you,” Kyla replied, sounding gentle and considerate as she stepped closer.

“How is she?” Noah inquired.

“She’s doing well, just worried you’re working too hard.” Kyla studied him for a few beats before cautiously asking, “Shall we have dinner together tonight?”

Noah pinned her with a deep, unreadable gaze. “This is your last chance, Kyla. If you cross the line again, don’t bother coming back.”
