Chapter: 1126
They remained silent for over ten minutes.
Norah stood up and suggested, “Let's head back to the car for a break."
Following the fall, the temperature had dropped. Spending the night in the cave could easily lead to catching a cold.
Marlin got up without showing much expression. However, Norah could spot the embarrassment in his eyes.
As a man, he found it disheartening to need a woman's protection so often. It made him feel inadequate.
The forest became especially dark at night. With no moon to light their way, the only source of light was their phone flashlights.
As Norah led the way, she noticed Marlin's breathing had grown heavier.
She paused briefly, then chose to ignore it. At this moment, he needed to fend for himself.
They made their way back to the car and settled in to rest.
When Adrian and Sharon rushed to the hospital, they encountered several people outside the operating room.
"How is the baby? Is the baby okay?" they asked.
Rhoda had also arrived and asked, "Where is Madeline? How is she?"
Joanna forced a weak smile. “She's still in surgery. I can't say if she's alright."
Jaxson said coldly, “If luck is on her side, the baby will be fine.
If not, we should pray.”
Sharon was on the verge of lashing out. If it was all left to fate, then what was the point of having doctors?
Upon realizing it was Jaxson, she contained her fury.
Not wanting to upset the influential heir of the Singh family, she redirected her anger towards Joanna.
“Joanna, you and Norah dislike Madeline. Did you intentionally push her to get back at Norah? I'm warning you, I'll involve the police.
You're so young, yet so malicious."
Joanna was overwhelmed and remained silent, unable to rebut.
She was uncertain if it was her who had caused Madeline to fall, as her mind was in chaos.
Sharon, who always resented Joanna for her aristocratic origins, seized the opportunity to berate her harshly.
Seeing Bryson's stern gaze and fearing retaliation from the Andrews family, Adrian intervened by grabbing Sharon's wrist and pulling her away.
