Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 953:

“Sadie! What catastrophe befell you? Is your condition stable? What in God’s name has transpired here?”

His grandfather’s repeated admonitions to safeguard Sadie’s well-being echoed accusingly in his consciousness. And now, following merely a brief professional excursion, she languished in a hospital bed? Should his grandfather discover this development, consequences of unimaginable severity would surely follow.

Sadie directed a meaningful glance toward Tina, who maintained a respectful silence nearby, and communicated her wishes through the subtlest inclination of her chin—a silent command for privacy.

Tina interpreted the unspoken instruction instantaneously. She retreated from the room with tactical discretion, easing the door shut with deliberate care, sealing the pair in complete isolation.

Sadie elevated her trembling fingers and rested them delicately across her still-flat abdomen. “I’m carrying a child.”

Her declaration struck Blaine with the devastating force of an unexpected lightning strike from cloudless skies. The impact rivaled what he might experience upon hearing that the entire Wall Group empire had collapsed into ruins within a single night.noveldrama

Astonishment transformed his features—eyes widening to their limits while his jaw worked mechanically without producing coherent sound, rendering him momentarily speechless.

He inclined his upper body toward her with tentative movements, his typically confident voice now fragile with disbelief. “This must be some elaborate jest, surely? Could Noah have somehow defied mortality itself and… and fathered this child?”

The absurdity of his own suggestion registered even as the final syllables escaped his lips. He inwardly chastised himself—the deceased remained permanently beyond reach, an immutable law of existence that permitted no exceptions.

His mind whirled chaotically through possibilities until abruptly seizing upon another potential candidate with startling clarity. “One moment… might Nathan bear responsibility for this unexpected development?”

Merely days before, during his business dealings in Jazmah, whispers had reached his ears regarding Sadie’s alleged engagement to Nathan—that notorious libertine scion of the powerful Higgins family, ruling Beversea’s elite circles.

The shocking revelation had almost caused the tumbler to slip from his grasp when the information first assaulted his consciousness.

And now this declaration of pregnancy emerged from Sadie’s own lips? What labyrinthine scheme had unfolded here?

Sadie expelled a weary breath laden with unspoken complexities, her expression reflecting surrender to circumstances beyond her control as she confronted his obvious skepticism. “Nathan bears no connection to this situation.”

Her denial etched profound furrows across Blaine’s brow as concentration transformed his features. His analytical mind methodically cataloged and evaluated every conceivable candidate until a singular identity crystallized with inexorable certainty.
