Chapter 1030:


    Now, Noahy beside her, his achingly familiar face close enough for her to caress. The feelings that Sadie had suppressed for so long came bubbling up to the surface—hurt, bitter anger, resentment… the longing that she refused to acknowledge.


    In the end, she simply sighed to herself and closed her eyes as well.


    Her body gradually rxed, and she drifted off to sleep.


    The next morning, the door of the hospital room burst open. Tina rushed inside with several bags containing breakfast. “Sadie! I bought your favorite fried egg sandwiches!”


    She stopped in her tracks halfway across the room, her smile freezing on her face. Her eyes grew wide as saucers as she stared at the two people sleeping on the bed, her mind struggling to process what she was seeing.


    Tina dropped the bags and spun around, her hands flying up to cover her eyes.


    “Ah! I didn’t see anything! I didn’t see anything!” she yelled frantically. “I’ve gone blind!”


    The small ruckus woke Sadie up. She groggily opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Noah’s handsome face, just a few inches from hers.


    She tried to pull away, only to realize that she was nestled in his arms. Her face flushed red as memories of the previous night came rushing back to her.


    Without a second thought, she shoved Noah away with all the strength she could muster.


    He was still fast asleep and therefore unguarded. He rolled away easily, ultimately falling off the edge of the bed.


    Noah hit the floor with a solid thud. He was wide awake in an instant. He sat up awkwardly, rubbing his arm as he stared at the culprit still lyingfortably on the bed.


    His eyes were filled with usation and no small amount of grievance. Was Sadie just tossing him aside as she pleased now?


    ?????????????????? ???? ???????????????? → g???????ν????????????


    Sadie felt a pang of guilt under his gaze, but it was quickly chased away by a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. She cleared her throat and tried to appear unaffected.


    Before she could speak, however, Noah beat her to the punch.


    “Discarding me first thing the next morning, huh?” he asked in that irritatingly teasing tone again. He pulled himself up and dusted off the imaginary dirt from his clothes. Then he braced both hands on the bed and leaned close. “Aren’t you going to take responsibility for me?”


    Tina, who still had her back to the bed, trembled at the words. Her fingers spread out on instinct, her eyes darting back and forth as she resisted the urge to peek at the two. What did she just hear? Responsibility?


    Had something happened between Sadie and Patrickst night?


    Good God, what explosive news!


    But when she really thought about it, Sadie and Patrick did make a good match—both were attractive and aplished. Theyplemented each other really well.
