Chapter: 1347

Despite the scars on her cheeks, Norah retained her poise and beauty, much like she had a year ago.

"Dr. Wilson, I'm deeply grateful for the surgery you performed. We wouldn't have known you were here at this hospital if Jarrod hadn't informed us," Damon stated.

He approached with health supplements, placing them on a table as a gesture of gratitude.

"Please accept these as a small token of our appreciation," Damon added.

Norah graciously accepted health supplements. “Thank you for your concerns."

Jarrod found a moment to chime in, "Dr. Wilson, it's been quite some time."

“How's your stomach these days?" Norah inquired.

Jarrod responded appreciatively, “Thank you for asking, Dr. Wilson. I've been managing well."

Jarrod hadn't seen Norah in over a year. The last time he was admitted to the hospital, hence missing the opportunity to visit her.

Later, he learned she had an accident on her way back to Glophia.

Observing the scars on her cheek and her red eyes, his initial reaction wasn't to shrink back. Instead, he felt a pang of sympathy.

He realized he might actually like Norah.

Knowing his feelings might not be reciprocated, he looked down and tried to hide what he felt.

Myra had a soft spot for Norah. When she noticed the scars on her face, she suggested some remedies for healing them.

Norah politely declined. Jarrod sensed her discomfort and decisively led his persistent parents out of the room.

As soon as they left, Sean grabbed Norah's hand.

After making sure the Newmans were out of earshot, he worriedly asked, “What just happened? Why were you upset?"

Pausing for a moment, he added, “I happened to encounter Mr. Newman. Upon hearing about your hospitalization, he insisted on bringing his parents over to visit you."

“It's okay. The Newmans are kind and have been incredibly grateful since I helped Mrs. Newman," Norah told him.

Having regained her composure, she firmly held Sean's hand and promised, "Sean, there are things I need to deal with independently. I will divulge everything to you eventually, just not now."

She could have disclosed to him that she was the heiress of the Wilson family, tormented by her uncle's family, which had brought her to this point.

She could even leverage the Scott family's influence to retaliate against Iker and his family, but that would be too easy.

Norah was determined to reclaim everything she had lost, including what had been taken from her parents.

Sean felt reassured by her words. His earlier irritation at being kept in the dark quickly faded. He realized Norah had her reasons and wasn't deliberately keeping him out of the loop.
