Chapter 621

Sadie’s hands slowly balled into fists. She presumed that he was running off to Kyla again.

Sadie had long since grown accustomed to such scenarios. No matter the circumstances, Kyla’s calls always seemed to have the power to pull Noah away from whatever he was doing.

Sadie gritted her teeth. What did the time they spent together even mean to that man?

Suddenly overcome with exhaustion, Sadie made her way to Averi’s room.

The boy’s face lit up when he spotted her, and his chubby face broke into a sweet grin. “Mommy, are you here to play with me?”

Sadie settled down beside him and ruffled his hair. “We’re going home, sweetheart.”

Averi blinked at her in confusion. “Home? Aren’t we already home?”

Sadie stared at her son’s innocent expression, and her throat tightened. Still, she fought back the tears and mustered a small smile. “This isn’t our home, honey. Mommy will take you to our real home, okay?”

Averi didn’t quite understand, but he bobbed his head like the good boy he was. “Okay! If you say so, Mommy.”

Breck loitered at the doorway the entire time, repeatedly trying and subsequently failing to speak up. In the end, he could only watch as Sadie finished packing her and Averi’s things, took Averi out of the house, and left in a taxi.

The moment they were out of sight, he grabbed the nearest servant and said, “Hurry and inform Mr. Wall about this!”

“Yes, Mr. Wagner.”

Before long, Sadie’s taxi pulled over at Laura’s apartment building. She stood downstairs for a while, just staring up at the familiar window. At that point, she could no longer hold back, and tears streamed freely down her face.

She took Averi upstairs and unlocked the door. Everything inside was as it had been—worn down, but strangely comforting.

“Mommy, where’s Great-grandma? Why isn’t she here?” Averi suddenly asked, clutching her hand.noveldrama

Sadie stiffened at his questions. She gazed down at her pure son and felt her heart twist inside her chest. How should she go about explaining death to a child?

Sadie wrestled with her emotions for a moment before saying, “Great-grandma has moved to a distant place. It will be a long, long time before we see her again.”

Averi nodded, only partially understanding. “Like when Austin moved to another city?”

Sadie paused and hummed quietly. She proceeded to unpack their things and tidy up the apartment a bit. Once Averi was fast asleep, she walked over to Laura’s favorite rocking chair. She slowly sat down.

The chair creaked gently, as Sadie rocked herself, almost as though her grandmother was still there, humming a tune to lull her to sleep. Sadie closed her eyes, savoring the sense of peace that had eluded her for the longest time. A few stray tears fell from her closed eyes and rolled down her cheeks.

The night deepened, and the rocking of the chair gradually slowed to a stop. Before she knew it, Sadie had fallen asleep.

Meanwhile, Noah had arrived at the private hospital owned by the Wall family.

“How is my grandpa?” he asked, worry etched on his face.

The doctor removed his mask and heaved a heavy sigh. “Mr. Wall, I’m sorry to say that your grandfather has suffered a sudden heart failure. We did our best, but I’m afraid he only has a few days left.”
