?Chapter 1254:


    The realization dawned on Tina, her expression brightening with understanding. She nodded with resolve. “Got it! I’ll reach out to the legal department and have them put together everything we need,” she said.


    She had barely turned away when her phone chimed, the sound cutting through the room’s silence. A nce at her screen changed Tina’s expression in an instant.


    Sadie caught the shift and asked quietly, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”


    A shaky breath escaped Tina as she looked up. “The private investigator just messaged me. He has an update. He says that, on the day everything happened in the urban vige, Mr. Wall arranged for Jack to run an errand and Jack was gone for a while. He’s not sure what Jack was up to—everything happened quickly and was kept under wraps.”


    The news sent a chill down Sadie. Her fingers closed tightly around her ss as the weight of new suspicion pressed down on her.


    No words left her lips; instead, Sadie kept her eyes fixed on Tina, waiting for her to continue.


    Anxious now, Tina asked, her tone cautious, “Sadie, can you tell me what’s happening? Why did you need a private investigator to look into Mr. Wall?”


    A heavy pause hung in the air before Sadie reached over, slid open her desk drawer, and retrieved the phone Alex had given to her. She passed it to Tina without a word.


    Curiosity quickly overtook caution. Tina unlocked the phone.


    Shock flooded her features the instant she saw the unsent message staring up from the screen. For a moment, she seemed frozen in ce, unable to move or speak. Then her voice broke through, incredulous. “This… it doesn’t make sense! There’s no way Mr. Wall would rescue Hailey. Why would he do that?”


    Deep down, Sadie longed to believe in Noah, too. No one knew his character better than she did. Unfortunately, each piece of evidence now pointed toward a possibility that made her chest ache.


    A raspy whisper escaped her as she finally spoke. “What’s thetest on Jack’s condition?”


    Gloom settled over Tina’s expression. She shook her head, her voice dropping low. “I reached out to the hospital. Jack’s still in the ICU. They say his chances are slim—waking up doesn’t seem likely.”


    A shadow passed through Sadie’s eyes as her thoughts drifted inward, Hurst.


    gα ? ησ ν?? ??s has it all


    Suddenly, one name came to her.


    Though Hurst came across as carefree and seemingly unreliable, his unconventional and often shocking methods had a way of producing miraculous results. After all, it was Hurst’s unorthodox approach that pulled Noah through his own surgery.


    If anyone could give Jack a fighting chance, it might be him.


    Secrecy was vital now. Not a soul could be allowed to find out.


    Instructions came swiftly and unwavering from Sadie. “Tina, head straight to Hurst’s clinic. Tell him to check on Jack at the hospital, and be sure this stayspletely under wraps. Not a word to anyone.”


    Even with questions piling up, Tina caught the urgency written all over Sadie’s face. She answered with a determined nod. “Understood. I’ll handle it right away.”
