Chapter: 1165

Unaware of the blame Joanna faced for Madeline's miscarriage, Susanna panicked upon hearing the bad news about Norah. Tears streamed down her face.

"No! It's not true. Norah promised to perform my operation. She hasn't kept her word yet. I don't believe it. Are you all conspiring to deceive me?"

Though she refused to accept it, her friends' sad expressions betrayed the truth.

Susanna broke down, her tears a torrent of grief and sorrow for Norah's presumed death.

Exhausted from crying, she eventually fell asleep. Joanna, with swollen eyes, gently tucked her in and quietly left the room.

Kaiden, realizing his grave mistake, left with Spencer while Susanna and Joanna wept.

Bryson handed Joanna a wet towel. “Wipe your tears, Joanna. Has Susanna heard the bad news about Norah?"

Recently arrived, he had witnessed the two girls crying and opted to wait in the corridor.

Joanna covered her swollen eyes the wet towel, feeling much better.

"Yes, Kaiden accidently revealed the secret. But Susanna appears significantly better after her emotional release."

“Happy to hear she's doing better. I met Sean in Silverdale; he still found no traces of Norah."

Joanna's face betrayed her disappointment. She visited frequently to inquire about the progress but felt powerless. ALL she knew was that despite extensive searching, there was no trace of Norah.

The police ceased their search a week after the accident and instructed Sean to return to Glophia for Norah's memorial service.

The odds of surviving such a precipitous fall were Less than one percent.

Nevertheless, Sean and Marlin remained resolute. They expanded the search team and personally joined the efforts.

Each was assigned a specific area, meticulously searching for Norah.

“Today, I noticed another group searching for Norah, dispatched by the military."

Secrecy was paramount in military operations. Bryson had observed them from a distance without engaging.

It was a group of seven, all clad in military attire, exuded a formidable presence. With solemn expressions, they swiftly navigated through the forest.

"The military? I haven't received any updates about Kason lately."

Kaiden frequently visited the hospital, yet Kason remained absent from any events in Glophia.

"He's busy. Come on, let me show you something."

Bryson handed his phone to Joanna. “Watch this video clip."

It seemed to be filmed at the Glamour Club. Recognizing the familiar corridor, Joanna hesitated to play the video.
