Chapter: 1342
Chayce told Norah, “Miss, Ivy is with Mr. Boyd now. Your mom and dad are here."
He had arranged for them to be completely disguised to shield them from any attention from Iker's people.
Norah watched intently as Chayce guided the two cloaked figures inside. They were neatly dressed and their faces were completely hidden behind hats with veils.
For an entire minute, they just looked at each other through the veils.
This long-awaited reunion between Norah and her parents left Gilda and Chayce brimming with excitement; they didn't dare make a sound, worried that it might break the silence.
"Norah," a fragile, shaky female voice called from behind the veil.
Hearing this, tears welled up in Norah's eyes.
“Norah,” the man next to the woman called out, his voice just as hoarse.
They then lifted their veils, and upon seeing them, Norah burst into tears.
The man, tall and slender, had a gaunt, aged face and gray-streaked hair. He was a stark contrast to the robust CEO in the photographs.
The woman was skinny with sunken cheeks, large eyes, and a pronounced chin. She had unkempt hair with streaks of gray.
Her eyes fixed on the woman lying on the bed as she approached cautiously. “Norah, is that really you?"
Norah nodded and said through her tears, "Mom, it's me."
She was overcome with emotion. Tears streamed down her face as her nose tingled.
Her intense sadness made her cry.
She had only ever seen photos of her parents. Her father looked distinguished and charismatic while her mother appeared intelligent and elegant.
But the figures before her now appeared frail and worn. They could easily be mistaken for street beggars.
Bernice, trembling, slowly moved closer to the bed and enveloped Norah in a firm hug.
“My dear Norah, I thought I might never see you again."
"Mom, I've missed you so much."
They clung to each other, crying deeply. Calvin moved closer and joined the hug as tears streamed down his face.
Moved by the emotional sight, Gilda and Chayce joined in the hug and began to shed tears themselves. Soon, the room echoed with the sound of everyone sobbing.
Meeting her parents for the first time, Norah instantly connected with the deep bond of family.
Bernice and Calvin each clung to one of Norah's hands, not willing to release their grip even for a moment.
