?Chapter 551:


    “Mommy, can we go home now?” Averi asked with wide, hopeful eyes.


    “Yes, sweetheart. We can go home now,” Sadie replied softly, stroking his head.


    At that moment, there was a knock on the hospital room door.


    “Come in, please,” Sadie called out.


    Jim entered, wearing his white coat, a document in hand and a gentle smile on his face.


    “Congrattions on your discharge,” he said.


    “Thank you,” Sadie responded with a smile.


    Jim paused, then turned to Averi. “Little guy, are you happy to go home today?”


    Averi nodded enthusiastically, his face lighting up. “Yes! I can go home with Mommy now!”


    Jim chuckled, then his expression turned serious as he faced Sadie.


    “Sadie, there’s something I need to discuss with you.”


    “What is it?” Sadie asked, sensing the seriousness in his tone.


    “Alex contacted me,” Jim revealed.


    Sadie’s expression changed, a mix of emotions passing over her face. “What did he say?” she inquired, her voice slightly wavering.


    Jim nced at Averi, then hesitated.


    Understanding the situation, Sadie said to Averi, “Sweetie, can you wait in the car for Mommy? I need to talk to Jim for a moment, and then I’ll be right there.”


    Averi, though slightly confused, nodded obediently. “Okay, Mommy. I’ll wait for you.”


    After Averi left, Sadie faced Jim, ready to continue their conversation.


    ???????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????.??????


    After parting ways with Jim, Sadie took Averi back to Myrtlewood Estate.


    Upon arriving, Averi hurried into the living room, eager to y with his toys.


    Sadie watched him go, her face softening into a gentle smile.


    “Wee back, Mrs. Wall,” Breck greeted her respectfully as she entered.


    “Thank you,” Sadie replied, then asked, “Where’s Noah?”


    “Mr. Wall came home early today; he’s in the study,” Breck informed her.


    Surprised, Sadie raised her eyebrows slightly. It was rare for Noah to be home so early. What was happening today?


    A sense of unease settled in Sadie’s heart, but sheposed herself and responded, “I see.”


    She removed her coat, handed it to Breck, and then made her way toward the study.


    Pausing at the door, Sadie took a deep breath and knocked softly.


    “Enter,” came Noah’s deep, resonant voice from within.


    Pushing the door open, Sadie stepped inside.


    Noah was seated at his desk, a document in hand, his brow furrowed in thought.


    As the door opened, he looked up, his eyes meeting Sadie’s.


    Sadie’s heart skipped a beat.


    Noah’s gaze was profound and enigmatic, like a vast, unreadable sea.


    “You’re back,” he stated simply, setting aside the document.


    “Yes,” Sadie replied, taking a seat across from him.
