Chapter: 1012

Tell me."

Norah sent a series of voice messages detailing the entire incident, highlighting Marlin's relationship with her.

“Basically, it boils down to male jealousy. He doesn't want you mingling with other men. It's the same the other way around. You can't stand to see his childhood sweetheart cling to him, right?"

Joanna said.

“Moreover, I think he primarily misunderstands that you and Marlin share a special connection," Joanna added.

Norah listened to the voice messages and thought to herself that if a woman were that close to Sean, she would have ended things immediately.

She had only helped Marlin from getting hurt. How was she to know it would be misinterpreted?

"I'm still upset," Norah typed.

"Relax, what young couple doesn't have disagreements? I used to think he would never argue with you because he doted on you so much. But now I see that's unrealistic. There will always be times when you disagree. Trust me. You'll reconcile in a couple of days. Just ignore him for a couple of days. Don't be the first to apologize, or you might find this becoming common in the future," Joanna soothed.

Norah felt somewhat reassured by Joanna's words, but the memory of Sean's doubting, icy stare still troubled her.

"Thanks, Joanna," Norah replied.

"It's nothing, Norah. The Glamour Club just reopened. My brother and I have been there a few times. Alice is the rising star now. She is the lead singer and she's incredible. When you get back to Glophia, you really should see her perform. It's quite the experience," Joanna said.

Norah flipped over and raised her phone above her head. She had heard about it from Alice and had seen the video of their rehearsal.

Alice looked stunning while she sang.

She wasn't sure if she would get to see it live. Alice had mentioned that she would return to Otland.

“Okay, let's go together next time," Norah responded.

Shortly after, she got another voice message from Joanna. "Susanna's in a bad condition."

Before Norah could reply, she sent another message.

"I think she's lost some weight recently. I asked Gil, and he mentioned she was about to be moved into the laminar air flow ward."

"She will be okay," Norah replied.

The bone marrow match had been found when Susanna was in the hospital. Her only concern now was the potential for a rejection reaction.

After chatting a bit more, Norah switched off her phone.

Sean was still in the master bedroom, and she was still upset.

Neither was ready to back down.
