Chapter: 1482

Once Norah returned and shared her choice with Florence, Florence's expression darkened.

She explained, "St Martin's Hospital is under the Miller family's ownership. Any Frazier seen there would be in danger."

The mention of the Miller family resonated with Norah. Florence had brought it up the day before.

"After Bernice left, the Millers, who had once been in a marital alliance with us, launched a vicious retaliation against us. Their tactics included assassination attempts and oppression. They still hold a grudge unless we leave Surella voluntarily." Florence broached this cautiously, not wanting to distress Bernice, and quickly steered the conversation elsewhere. "We could consider other hospitals, as St. Martin's Hospital is not an option. The Millers might jeopardize your grandfather."

The risk was real. They had to be vigilant.

Norah comforted her. "It's okay, I will check out other hospitals. We don't have to settle for that one."

Noticing her mother's growing frustration, Norah reassured her with a pat on the back, understanding that her mother needed time to work through her past grievances. As Norah prepared to leave, Florence said, "Oh, Norah, this was your grandfather's gift for you, and your uncle wanted me to give it to you."

The gift had slipped their minds during the previous night's discussions about the Supernatural Doctor, remembered only by Huntley that morning.

Florence handed her a red velvet jewelry box, which Norah accepted.

It was proper to accept a gift from an elder, especially her grandfather.

“Thank you. I'll see Grandpa when he wakes."

Norah carried the gift upstairs, leaving her mother and Florence to converse.

Florence was a straightforward type, and Norah was hopeful that she could persuade her mother to release her guilt.

In her room, Norah fired up her computer to dig into the background of the Miller family.

She discovered the Miller family was deeply entrenched in the underworld, engaged in activities like gambling, arms smuggling, and more severe crimes like kidnapping, murder, and theft.

St Martin's Hospital was set up primarily to cater to their own injured, with little concern for profitability.

Deep in thought, Norah stroked her chin. While she acknowledged the Millers were not to be underestimated, she remembered treating a high-ranking committee member in the past.

They referred to him as the "Godfather."

The Eleven Committee was the highest echelon in the mafia world, overseeing all mafia families.

During her time in Mabgua, she saved that big shot's life after he sustained critical injuries.

She reached out to Chayce, requesting the dispatch of a particular item from her safe by jet.

With this item, she could not only establish contact with her former patient but also leverage it for various purposes.

The presence of the Miller family would no longer cast a shadow of fear over the Frazier family.

Norah opened the jewelry box to find an exquisite diamond necklace inside.
