Chapter: 1344
Calvin looked at Norah, pride filling his eyes. She had grown into an excellent woman.
“Norah, how have you been all these years? It's our fault. We didn't protect you as we should have." Bernice wept quietly.
When she first became a mother, she was too young and inexperienced to care for a child on her own, so they had to hire a nanny.
On the other hand, Calvin had been consumed by the company's affairs.
The Wilson family was torn apart by infighting at the time. When Bernice discovered that her child was missing, her mind went blank.
They did everything in their power to find Norah. But despite their efforts, they couldn't uncover any trace of her.
Bernice had always believed that Norah was still alive and never stopped searching for her.
"I led a nomadic life overseas and faced some challenges, but I'm fine," Norah answered.
As Joanna once told her, God has a plan for everyone. Norah had lost some things but gained others along the way.
She didn't want to burden her parents with worry, so she summed up her 26 years of life in that one simple sentence.
Just as her parents had hidden their suffering from her, she did the same for them. She wanted to shield them from any unnecessary worry.
Calvin and Bernice understood this and didn't press her for more details. There would be plenty of time to share their experiences with each other. No need to rush it.
Bernice carefully caressed the scars on Norah's face with her coarse hands. "Does it still hurt?"
"No," Norah responded while shaking her head. The initial pain had been sharp, and seeing her reflection had been startling. She had worried that the scars would last forever. After regaining her memory, she knew she no longer needed to worry because the Scar Removal Cream would gradually make the scars disappear.
"Mom, Dad, you've endured so much. I promise to take great care of you moving forward."
Although the Lee family had saved her parents, they had not treated them kindly. Their frail bodies and subdued spirits bore the marks of difficult past years.
“I've arranged for Gilda to rent a villa in Silverdale. You can stay there while I recuperate in the hospital. I'll set up a comprehensive health check for you in a few days.”
It had been four years since their last medical examination, making it essential to identify and address any health issues.
Calvin's frown deepened, showing his worry. "“Chayce told me Iker seized all your assets. And he's the reason you're in the hospital. Can we confront him and recover everything that belongs to us?"
Bernice felt anxious because Iker had harmed his brother and niece over money. She was aware of his ruthlessness.
If Iker found out that Calvin and she were still alive, he would ensure to eliminate them before they could return to the Wilson family.
