Chapter: 1511

Despite her reservations, Sean chose to stay in her room, unable to part from her soft, fragrant presence. Although it tested his self- discipline, he preferred it to the loneliness of his own bed.

As sleep claimed him, a thought lingered: he needed to take Norah away from this place. The frustration was becoming unbearable.

The following morning, Norah awoke to find Sean no longer beside her.

He had honored her boundaries. Her teasing had been intentional, and remembering his earnest reaction brought a smile to her face.

Sean was indeed too amusing.

Before the crisis with Dark Night escalated, Alice had lowered her guard slightly, suggesting to Norah that they might be overthinking the threat.

The survivors of the Dark Night were insignificant now, hardly capable of stirring real trouble.

Their interest in Alice and Norah likely stemmed from their former prominence within the organization. Perhaps Dark Night hoped to reclaim some of its lost influence by drawing them back in.

During their confidential discussions, Norah and Alice considered various theories, and Alice's hypothesis seemed most credible.

Consequently, Norah shifted her attention away from the undocumented migrants in Surella, focusing instead on preparing for her grandfather's surgery.

Thanks to Norah's use of traditional herbal remedies, Keenan's health had markedly improved. He was now able to sit up and talk with visiting family members.

Keenan had his attorney certify the transfer of the Frazier family shares, increasing Norah's stake to ten percent. This decision faced no opposition from the Fraziers.

Both Huntley and Keenan acknowledged that without Norah, the Miller family would not have vanished so swiftly from Surella, nor would the Frazier family be enjoying such peace.

Those shares were a gesture of gratitude to Norah.

Upon learning this, Norah grew even more affectionate towards the Frazier family, appreciating their sincere concern for her.

In contrast, within the Wilson family, Iker and others wished her harm simply to gain control of the company shares.

Sean's presence didn't disrupt Norah's routine. She continued caring for her grandfather, occasionally enjoyed shopping sprees and outings with Alice, and visited her cousins at their schools.

Research on a specialized heart disease medication in Bainbridge's professor's lab was advancing quickly. Bainbridge excitedly predicted that it might be successful within a year.

One day, Norah left the lab after finishing her drug production.

The lab where Bainbridge's professor worked was spacious, and she had requested to use it for her research. After Bainbridge's professor reported this to the school, they swiftly granted approval.

She was producing Body-nourishing Pills, which significantly benefited her health. Her parents had been taking these pills daily since their return home, and their health had significantly improved.

This was the most valuable medicine she could provide, and she believed it was only fair that her mother's family also benefited; everyone deserved a share.

“You want to pick me up? No need, I drove myself. Just head to my grandfather's house, and you can have dinner with me there," Norah said.

After ending the call with Alice, Norah then called Sean. "I'm finished here. Do you want to come over for dinner? Alice is available today as well, so I'll have our family cook prepare something delicious for you."
