Chapter: 1345
“There were a few people in the company who support me, but after four years, I'm not sure how many are left," Calvin said.

Four years had gone by, and much had changed.

“Don't worry over these matters, Mom and Dad. I'll manage them. Just concentrate on recovering and preparing for a triumphant return to Glophia." Norah reassured them, committed to fulfilling her promise.

Calvin looked down and felt ashamed. "Norah, I feel so useless. You returned only to confront all these troubles."

"It's okay. Facing challenges is part of reuniting with family."

Norah spoke gently, her demeanor steady. “Just concentrate on your recovery."

Witnessing Norah's determination and vitality, Bernice felt tears start to form. Her daughter had matured into a woman that was stronger and more capable than she had ever been.

She has always been prone to tears. As a child, her father and brother would soothe her, and after marriage, her husband provided comfort. Now, her daughter took on that role.

Her life was mostly filled with joy, except for those four dismal years when she was isolated in a cellar, cut off from everyone.

As Norah held her parents' hands, she felt the roughness of their skin, marked by calluses that had hardened and cracked. Their skin was rough and dull.

Reflecting on their condition, she began to consider various treatments. Now that her parents were back, she was dedicated to helping with their recovery. Having them by her side was enough for her.

Eventually, Norah instructed Chayce to escort her parents to the villa.

She stopped Chayce and said, "Please, Chayce, take good care of my parents."

Chayce assured her, “Don't worry, Miss. I've arranged for bodyguards. Everything is under control."

After they left, the lively atmosphere of the room quickly turned into silence.

"They've endured so much, even if they didn't talk about it," Gilda murmured, Her voice was still choked with emotion and she had been crying softly since they got here.

Brushing away her tears, she said, "Seeing them come back safely, I'm just so relieved."

Norah echoed the same sentiment as Gilda.

She looked at her legs, still unable to move freely, and felt a wave of frustration. If only she could walk, certain things would be so much easier.

Then it occurred to her that her mother was unaware that she had reconnected with the Frazier family.
