Chapter 406
What could this be?
She continued to sift through the documents, encountering more photos and reports.
Among them, she uncovered the specifics of a vehicular accident, including the driver’s identity and screenshots from the surveillance footage at the scene.
Sadie’s heart raced, her breath catching.
“Ryder…” she whispered, staring at the driver’s name.
The name Ryder sparked an intense reaction.
Three years earlier, she had been the victim of a hit-and-run, leaving her comatose for an extended period.
She had longed to uncover the identity of the driver and their reason for fleeing.
Now, the answer was right in front of her.
Ryder had been behind the wheel during her traumatic accident.
These were evidently the fruits of Noah’s investigation.
Had Noah been investigating this since she left three years ago?
Overwhelmed by her findings, Sadie felt a surge of complex emotions.
Caught in this whirl of feelings, she found herself bewildered.
She carefully returned the documents to the folder and placed it back where it belonged.
She returned to her desk but found concentrating on work impossible. What drove Noah to dig into this case? Was he doing it for her, or was there something else at play?
Her mind buzzed with endless questions, creating a chaotic whirl of thoughts. The computer screen’s glow illuminated Sadie’s weary face.
Rubbing her tired eyes, she tried to refocus, yet her thoughts kept returning to the folder, to that name—Ryder.

Overcome by fatigue, she eventually drifted off to sleep at her desk.
In her half-asleep state, she felt someone lift her gently; the familiar scent of cologne enveloped her, comforting and warm.
The next morning, when Sadie awoke, she found herself lying in bed under a light blanket.noveldrama
Just then, Breck came in with breakfast.
“Thank you for last night,” she said, assuming it was Breck who had carried her back to her room and covered her with the blanket.
Breck wore a puzzled expression and asked, “Mrs. Wall, what did you say?”
Sadie responded, “I was thanking you for carrying me back to my room.”
Breck’s confusion deepened. “I haven’t done that, Mrs. Wall. I only arrived this morning.”
Sadie froze. If not Breck, then who?
Breck seemed to recall something and hurriedly said, “Ah, Mr. Wall came home last night.”
“He’s back?” Sadie asked, her voice laced with surprise.
“Yes, Mrs. Wall. Mr. Wall returned late last night. He must have seen you asleep in the study and carried you back to your room,” Breck explained.
Sadie felt a rush of warmth and comfort at the realization that it had been Noah, after all.
“Mr. Wall also mentioned that he would be back on time this evening for dinner with you and Averi,” Breck added.
Sadie was even more taken aback by this, and her fingers instinctively tightened around her coffee mug. Noah was coming back for dinner?
