Chapter: 1024

Remaining silent, Nancy simply gazed at Kayla with tear-filled eyes that expressed her sorrow.

Kayla's heart went out to Nancy, and she felt a deep sense of empathy for her situation.

“Regardless, Nancy is still your sister. Why are you being so harsh?

She can't control her heart condition."

She voiced her complaint while gently patting Nancy's shoulder with affection.

Matteo refrained from speaking negatively about Kayla in the presence of Sean and Nancy. Noticing Sean's growing anger, he nudged Kayla on the shoulder.

"You should take Nancy home first. I'll look after Susanna," he said.

He had assumed Kayla, being Susanna's mother, would be able to care for her well.

He had never anticipated that Kayla would leave the ward with Nancy, nor had he foreseen Susanna's suicide attempt.

“Why does Susanna take things so seriously? She could talk to us if something was bothering her. Why did she choose to harm herself?"

His heart was in pain. He had cherished Susanna for years and cared deeply for her.

He had only stepped out for a few hours and never imagined Susanna would attempt suicide.

In a cold tone, Sean declared, "I won't interfere with Nancy's affairs, but I won't allow her to harm Susanna either."

Matteo's expression grew somber. “Nancy is an orphan. How could she possibly hurt Susanna?"

“The mere presence of someone can disrupt the relationships of others."

Matteo was taken aback. It appeared Sean wasn't just referring to Susanna but also to Marlin and Kason.

His fingers were clenched tightly. Even if there was a fracture in the relationship, he would make an effort to repair it.

Gazing at his daughter in the ICU, barely breathing, Matteo felt a wave of hesitation.

"I understand," He finally said.

Several days went by without any assassin attempting to kill her, making Norah question the reliability of the assassin organization Hank had hired.

They were moving too slowly. No one had even come to surveil her for days.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Norah unexpectedly spotted Korbin waiting at the front desk.

After a two-day hiatus, he resumed his pestering.

"Dr. Wilson, I noticed you're not on duty tonight. Would you Like to see the new movie with me?" he asked.
