Chapter: 1294

Yolande looked into the ward. Through the diminutive glass pane in the door, she could see someone reclining on the bed.

"How is Norah? When are we allowed to visit her?"

Susanna's lips curled in displeasure. “And who might you be? Are you close to Norah?"

Yolande returned her gaze with a sharp look. “I'm Norah's preferred companion in Silverdale. And you are?"

"I'm her favorite, actually! She told me I was the cutest princess,"

Susanna countered, her voice laced with irritation.

Mindful of their surroundings, she moderated her tone to prevent drawing attention in the hospital.

Joanna intervened, pulling at her arm. "Stop this bickering. The priority is Norah's wellbeing."

Yolande assessed the duo. One of them had short hair, which did not detract from her striking features.

The other radiated an effortless charm, her doll-like appearance truly princess-Like.

Yet, Yolande held firm in her belief that Norah liked her the most.

A year ago, when Norah disappeared, Susanna was hospitalized. Yolande only recognized her from Norah's mentions; if her memory served her right, Susanna was her name.

In Yolande's eyes, Susanna seemed quite ordinary, certainly not as delightful as herself.

"What have the doctors said?" Yolande inquired briskly, preferring not to waste time arguing at the ward's threshold. The answer would emerge once Norah awoke.

Meanwhile, Gilda and Chayce navigated the corridor, visibly surprised by the assembly.

Gilda commented, "Given the crowd here, it must be Miss Wilson in that ward."

"I'm surprised Hadley was truthful," Chayce acknowledged, slightly bewildered. “I suspected she was misleading us."

How did Hadley come to know they were still searching for Norah?

With a stern expression, Gilda snorted, "Maybe Hadley is the sole moral member of the Wilson family. The others are evil."

According to Hadley, the Wilsons were orchestrating another attack.

They wouldn't permit Norah a safe return home.

“Have you reached out to the family of Miss Wilson's mother?" Gilda queried.

With a nod, Chayce confirmed, "It was challenging, but I've made contact. They've agreed to come down and investigate personally."

“With her mother's family in support, Miss Wilson will be in safer hands."
