Chapter: 1161

Guilt engulfed his heart like an invisible force he couldn't escape.

While in Silverdale, Norah had missed him terribly. He thought maybe their communication block was just a misunderstanding.

But before they could meet and discuss it, she had an accident.

Although the odds of finding her alive were slim, no one stopped searching until they could find a trace of Norah.

The ordeal had left Sean's eyes bloodshot, worn out over worries for Norah and Susanna.

Joanna, having just recovered from an ordeal involving Madeline, found herself facing another crisis with Norah's disappearance, and her condition deteriorated rapidly.

"It's all my fault. She hurried back because she was concerned about us. None of this would have happened if I had just answered her calls."

Raina silently patted Joanna's back, trying to offer some comfort.

The whole thing turned out to be a calculated murder.

The Silverdale police had identified the driver of the black car as a wanted criminal already on the run.

With the man now dead, the police could only speculate. They believed the fugitive had intended to take Norah with him in a suicidal crash on the highway. Given the driver's fate, Norah's prospects Looked bleak.

Outside Susanna's hospital room, a group had formed.

Kaiden asked on Kason's behalf, “Joanna, have you reached Sean? Any news about Norah? We're all anxious since hearing she's missing."

Joanna responded with a pained expression, "Sean's men and the Boyd family's men, along with the police in Silverdale, have searched miles around the accident site but haven't found any sign of her. They wondered if she was swept out to sea or possibly rescued by someone."

Holding onto that glimmer of hope, they continued their search.

Bryson expressed his sorrow, saying, "No one could have predicted such a tragedy for Norah. I went with Joanna to the site. It looked like she might have fallen from the cliff. The chances of surviving that are incredibly slim."

Spencer also said with a sigh, “I'm still hoping that Norah will return to see the Glamour Club. I've redone the stage for Dream, hoping it will impress her."

The group collectively sighed as they sat on the bench, absorbed in their gloomy thoughts.

Unable to bear the somber mood, Kaiden attempted to steer the conversation elsewhere.

“Thankfully, Susanna's condition is improving. Let's hope the psychological treatments this time are effective."

He suspected that Susanna was battling depression, given her multiple suicide attempts and her withdrawal from others.

Joanna harbored a wish that Norah could be with them. As a renowned doctor and a beacon of hope in Silverdale, she had made a name for herself by treating several patients. She was certain Norah could find a way to alleviate Susanna's depression.

Joanna held onto the hope that Norah was still alive.

Before heading to the site where Norah was last seen, Sean had arranged for Phillip to look after Susanna in Glophia. He then joined the search team to scour the area for Norah.
