Chapter 1162: "Just be quiet!" Noreen's rage intensified with her husband's every word.

Facing Hadley with a scornful look, Noreen snapped, “Yes, I've hidden Brady! I'm preventing him from making any bone marrow donation! Forget about trying to find him. I will never disclose his whereabouts!" A chilling fear gripped Hadley, her heart heavy with dread.

"Do you look atwith such despair?" Noreen taunted, her voice dripping with scorn. "Is your daughter close to death? Perhaps you should stop wasting tand start planning her funeral, giving her the dignity of a proper goodbye." "Noreen!" Overcwith anger, Hadley shouted back. Her eyes were fiery and seemed ready to burst from their sockets.

With a mocking laugh and her chin raised proudly, Noreen said, "Are you upset? But do you really have a right to be? Recall when I was at your mercy, pleading for Brady's life. What was your response?" At that moment, Hadley had coldly said, "He's just a bastard who'd be better off dead." In a flash of painful memory, Hadley closed her eyes tightly.

The memory was vivid in her mind.

The sharpness of Noreen's gaze was like a blade. “Bet you never saw this one coming, did you? It's just karma, Hadley." With her fists balled in anger, Hadley remained wordlessly defiant. Noreen's every accusation echoed the harsh refusal Hadley had once given about donating part of her liver to Brady.

Upon raising her head defiantly, Hadley's eyes met Noreen's with a fierce resolve.

"Do you despise me?" Noreen taunted with a sneer. "What will you do, really?" Hadley's response was abrupt; she knelt swiftly, her palms flattening against the cold floor as she bowed deeply. Tears choked her voice as she said, "I admit my mistake! I was so wrong. Please, Noreen, I'm begging you- where is Brady?" For her daughter Joy's well-being, Hadley was prepared to lay down both her dignity and her life. With a cold look, Noreen responded dismissively, "Begging now, are we? Sadly, you're too late.” Turning abruptly, she made her way to the stairs. "Leave now! Out of my house!" "Noreen..." Cade's gaze shifted back and forth from his wife to his daughter, his expression a mix of conflict and despair.

He reached out to Hadley, offering his support. "Stand up, Hadley. We can sort this out together." In a sudden movement, Hadley raised her head to look at Cade, her hand gripping his arm with desperate strength.

She clenched her teeth against her lip so fiercely that a trickle of blood emerged.

Drawing on every bit of her resolve, Hadley managed to plead, "Dad!"

"What?" The word escaped Cade as he stood in shock, "Hadleywhy what did you just call me?"

It had been years since Hadley had used that term of endearment-it stopped with her mother's passing. "Please, Dad!" Hadley repeated through tears, her voice breaking as she spoke.

At that moment, all her resentment and pride dissolved, overshadowed by her concern for Joy's welfare. Staying on her knees, she held onto Cade's arm.
