Chapter 614

“Find out exactly what happened!”

“Yes, Mr. Wall,” Samuel responded, quickly moving to carry out the orders.

As darkness fell over the hospital, in a silent room, Sadie slowly opened her eyes to the stark white ceiling above. Her mind was blank, her memory frozen at the moment before she had fainted. Grandma!

She sat up suddenly. Noah was beside her, resting in a chair. The noise woke him, and he turned to look at her.

Ignoring the pain that racked her body, Sadie leapt from the bed, anxious. “Where’s Grandma? How is she?”

She fixed Noah with a hopeful gaze, as if expecting him to reassure her, “Your grandma is fine,” so she could cling to that belief.

“I had a dream that my grandma didn’t make it,” Sadie whispered, tears gathering. “That’s not true, right? My grandma is still alive, isn’t she?”

Noah remained silent, his expression unreadable, laden with emotions Sadie couldn’t decipher.

The light in her eyes faded, and tears began to fall.

“Say something! Tell me, my grandma is still alive, right? I can’t believe it. I refuse to believe Grandma has died. I need to see her.” Sadie’s emotions unfurled like a tightly wound spring suddenly released.

She broke free from Noah’s hold and dashed toward the door. Noah, taken aback, instinctively chased after her, catching her from behind.

“Sadie, calm down. Listen to me! You still have me, and I’ll always be here for you.”

He paused, his voice pleading. “Sadie, please, try to calm down. Alright?”

“I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear anything. Let go of me! I need to see Grandma!” Sadie shouted, her voice raw.

Her mind was consumed by a single thought. She had to see her grandmother; she refused to accept Laura was gone. Just days earlier, Laura had been full of life, asking what Sadie wanted for dinner, promising to make her favorite pot roast.

How could death have parted them so abruptly?

Tears streamed down Sadie’s face.

Just then, the door burst open. Samuel entered.noveldrama

“Mr. Wall!” he began, then halted, taking in the scene.

He hadn’t expected Sadie to be awake. Noah caught his eye and subtly signaled for him to leave. Understanding, Samuel quietly exited, closing the door softly behind him.

After what seemed like an eternity, Sadie’s sobs began to subside.

Sadie broke free from Noah’s embrace and wiped her tears. She couldn’t allow herself to fall apart. She believed Laura wouldn’t want to see her this way. Gathering her strength, she walked out of the hospital room, step by step. Noah, feeling as if his heart were tearing, followed her at a distance. Samuel waited outside, visibly anxious.

Noah approached him, his voice rough. “What’s going on?”

Samuel looked troubled and lowered his head, his tone laden with guilt. “Mr. Wall, it’s my fault. I was careless. Please, punish me.” Noah’s expression hardened, signaling for Samuel to continue.

“When we left to meet Miss Wade today, the taxi carrying Mrs. Stewart followed us. I checked the surveillance on the road where the accident occurred, but it had long been out of service. Nevertheless, the driver involved has turned himself in.” Noah’s eyes narrowed, urging him on.
