?Chapter 628:


    If anything happened to Noah, he would never forgive himself.


    The guards, momentarily frozen in fear, scrambled to make the call.


    The operating room’s red light flickered on.


    Sadie copsed onto the cold floor, her vision blurred by tears. Memories flooded her mind—her grandmother had been taken behind those very doors, never to return.


    “It’ll be okay. It has to be,” she told herself, though her entire body trembled.


    She bit her lip hard, trying to stifle the sobs racking her chest.


    The hospital bustled with hurried footsteps and murmured voices.


    Sadie remained motionless, disheveled and hollow.


    Nearby, Samuel watched her in silence, uneasy at her distress.


    He wanted to offerfort but couldn’t find the words.


    A piercing voice shattered the tension. “You again, you wretched woman!” Isabel stormed toward them, her face ashen, eyes red-rimmed from weeping.


    Her fury ignited at the sight of Sadie sitting there, and without hesitation, she pped her hard across the face.


    Sadie’s cheek burned instantly.


    Isabel pointed an usatory finger, her voice hoarse with rage. “You ruin everything you touch! Was destroying your own family not enough? Now you’ve dragged Noah into this. If anything happens to him, I swear you’ll pay.”


    Sadie stared nkly at the hysterical woman before her, momentarily unable to react.


    Then, her expression turned cold. With a firm shove, she pushed Isabel away. “Mrs. Wall, Noah is the reason the person responsible for my grandmother’s death walked free. If not for him, she wouldn’t have died without justice.”


    Isabel staggered, nearly copsing, but a bodyguard steadied her.


    Step into new worlds with gα?ησν????s??оm


    Her face shifted from pale to flushed, her entire body trembling. “That’s a lie! My son would never do something like this. Stop this nonsense!”


    Samuel, unable to remain silent, finally spoke up, his voice firm. “Mrs. Wall, you’re mistaken.”


    “Mr. Wall didn’t let Miss Wade escape. He had her sent to Boxing Street in Wheosia—left to fend for herself.”


    Sadie’s breath caught. “What?” Her voice wavered in disbelief.


    Could Noah really have done that?


    Hadn’t he always shielded K?


    The world seemed to tilt, and she pressed a hand against the wall to steady herself.


    Samuel exhaled, continuing, “And the reason Mr. Wall left so suddenly during yourst encounter… was that his grandfather was critically ill. Today, we finished his funeral. He didn’t tell you because he feared you couldn’t handle more heartbreak.”


    “Nigel has passed away?” Sadie felt thest of her strength drain away. She sank to the floor, silent tears spilling down her cheeks.


    Sadie sobbed uncontrobly. First, Laura was gone, and then Nigel had also left her. Why did those who cared for her always leave?


    Just then, the operating room doors flew open.


    A nurse rushed out, clutching a document marked “critical condition.”


    “Who here is Noah’s family? Quick, sign this!”
