?Chapter 1092:


    “Please rest assured, Ms. Hudson. Mr. Noel was only injected with a strong anesthetic. Although the dosage was high, the surgery was never started, so no real harm was done to his body. Once the anesthetic wears off, Mr. Noel will wake up naturally,” Dawson exined calmly.


    Sadie finally felt at ease. She nodded, the tension slowly melting away from her body, only to be reced by an overwhelming fatigue. Thankfully, Noah was all right.


    Meanwhile, Hailey remained restrained by two burly bodyguards outside the operating room. She cowered in the corner, utterly defeated. She could only watch as Samuel led his team, escorting the tightly bound Stuart out of the operating room.


    How did things turn out this way? Had her n failed? Hailey felt the color drain from her face as her knees buckled beneath her.


    No… it couldn’t be!


    Stuart had assured her the n was foolproof! Besides, she had gone to such great lengths, made so many sacrifices, and risked everything she had… How could she have failed?


    A chill raced through her spine, surging to her toes and the top of her head. She felt cold all over. It was all ruined nowpletely ruined.


    Once Noah woke up, it wouldn’t take long for him to learn everything she had orchestrated. He would find out that she had tried to alter his memory, to make him forget Sadie for good. And Hailey knew he would never forgive her!


    By then, she wouldn’t just lose her position as his wife and all the benefits that came with it—she knew the entire Burgess family would fall with her.


    Panic seized her heart, and she suddenly found it hard to breathe.


    What should she do now? What else could she possibly do?


    The bodyguards stood vigil on either side of Hailey, their expressions nk and indifferent to her obvious despair. After receiving Samuel’s signal, they lifted the limp Hailey and followed Samuel’s team.


    Three hourster, Noah was transferred to a regr hospital ward. The room was dim and quiet.


    Sadie tucked the nket around him and sat by the bed, feeling utterly exhausted. She stared at his pale face, a pang of pain gripping her heart.

    The recent events flooded her mind all at once—Sharon’s sudden, so-called passing, the unknown corpse at the funeral home, Hailey’s erratic behavior, and Stuart’s horrifying research. They all came with a mix of fear, anger, confusion, and dread, overwhelming her like a giant, relentless tide.


    Sadie reached out and gently held Noah’s hand. It felt cold against her skin.


    “Noah, you’d better wake up soon,” she said, her voice hoarse and tearful. “I have so many questions to ask you. Why did you lie to me about Sharon’s situation? What have you been hiding from me?”


    In the end, Sadie couldn’t hold back any longer. She wept, tears flowing down her cheeks and dripping onto the back of Noah’s hand.


    Just then, a gentle knock came at the door.


    Samuel poked his head inside, holding up a file.
