?Chapter 438:


    “Go and do your business. I’ll take care of the little champ,” Carol said with a smile as she walked into the apartment.


    Sadie returned to the kitchen and packed some of the chicken and sd into a thermal food container.


    She was greeted by the chilly autumn breeze as soon as she stepped outside. Shivering in her coat, she hailed a cab and gave the driver the hospital’s address.


    Throughout the ride, her mind remained a tangled mess.


    She didn’t even notice when they arrived at the hospital until the driver called out to her. Startled, she paid the fare and got out.


    Sadie entered the hospital and headed straight to Laura’s ward.


    She found the elderly woman sitting up in bed, staring nkly out the window.


    “Grandma,” Sadie said softly as she approached.


    Laura slowly turned her head, her eyes lighting up when she saw who it was.


    “You’re here, Sadie,” she said in a weak, quiet voice.


    “Yes, and I brought you some food.” Sadie opened the thermal container and ced it on the bedside table.


    “Oh, vegetable sd and zed chicken!” Laura beamed. “You always know what I like.”


    “Then please eat a lot, Grandma.” Sadie scooped a portion onto her te.


    Laura had only taken a few bites when she suddenly paused, her gaze fixed on Sadie.


    “How are things with Noah?”


    Sadie’s breath hitched.

    “It’s over,” she replied, avoiding her grandmother’s eyes.


    “Over?” Laura echoed, bewildered. “Why?”


    Sadie took a deep breath before recounting everything that had happened.


    Laura remained silent for a long time.


    “Sadie,” she finally said, her voice heavy with sorrow. “You’ve been through a lot, my dear.”


    Sadie’s eyes turned red with unshed tears.


    “I’m all right, Grandma. As long as you get better, I’m not afraid of anything.”


    “My silly girl.” Laura reached out with her frail hand and gently stroked Sadie’s cheek.


    “I’m afraid your grandmother is old and useless now. You’ll have to walk the path ahead on your own.”


    “Grandma, please don’t say that.” Sadie clutched Laura’s hand in both of hers.


    “You will get better, I promise. We’ll live a happy life and watch Averi grow up together.”


    Laura’s expression softened with love. She embraced her granddaughter tightly, their quiet sobs echoing softly through the ward.


    A few dayster, the light from crystal chandeliers cascaded through the banquet hall like a waterfall. The champagne flute tower sparkled under the light, and the exquisite tableware reflected a dazzling brilliance. The air was perfumed with the scent of expensive fragrances, mingling with the fresh aroma of flowers, all signaling the luxury and grandeur of the event.


    K, dressed in a fiery red gown as vibrant as a blooming rose, examined her reflection in the mirror, ensuring every detail of her makeup was wless. “How does this dress look? Does itplement myplexion perfectly?” she asked Vivi, her voice tinged with pride.


    Vivi offered a perfunctory smile, replying, “It’s beautiful. You’re definitely the standout today.”
