Chapter: 1519

"Thank you, Sean. I promise I will." Norah looked up, meeting his eyes with a serious expression, making a heartfelt vow.

Alice, propped up by Frank, weakly said, "Could you two cut down on the lovey-dovey stuff? I am about to faint.”

Norah held back her mixed feelings and grinned “It seems you still have some fight in you. I doubt you will faint."

Alice complained, “Come on, you overestimate my strength. It hurts so much."

Norah brought Alice to St Martin's Hospital, which was operated by the Frazier family, providing her with a sense of assurance.

Norah carefully removed the bullet lodged in Alice's left shoulder and proceeded to bandage the wound herself.

"You know what you should and shouldn't do. Just be careful when you're back at home," Norah reminded Alice.

"I miss my son, Norah. I'm leaving the rest in your hands. Can you manage?" Alice inquired.

Norah paused, then turned around with a reassuring smile. "Night Cat, are you questioning Rose's skills?"

"Not at all, Night Cat trusts Rose completely," Alice replied quickly.

Norah turned and continued walking, gesturing with her right hand.

"Then head home without worries. I'll drop by when I can. See you."

She wasn't concerned about Alice making her way home alone, even after the recent injury.

Alice watched Norah's departing figure, her face breaking into a broad smile. Indeed, Norah always provided her with reassurance.

She recalled how, when Adair had escaped, Norah had shot him in the shoulder to avenge her. Having such a reliable teammate made her feel less troubled about the Dark Night.

Sean, who had been waiting on a bench outside the hospital room, stood up as Norah approached and said, “Is Alice alright?"

"She was still joking and laughing in the car just now. She's fine. Her left shoulder might need a few months to heal, but that's nothing new for her," Norah told him.

Alice had sustained more severe injuries on past missions. Norah was confident she would recover swiftly.

As they walked, Sean took her hand. “Who were the people attacking you today?"

When he arrived with his team, he managed to rescue Alice's subordinates. However, another group got away too fast, and Sean didn't catch any of them.

He sighed. "Honey, I don't want you to hide things from me."

Norah had been thinking of fabricating a story, but at his words, she paused, awkwardly rubbing her nose. "I don't want to lie to you either, but I'm still trying to figure out how to explain it. Can you give me a bit more time? Once I sort it out, I'll tell you everything."

Seeing the uncertainty on his girlfriend's face, Sean stopped and affectionately pinched her cheek. “Okay, whenever you're ready to talk, I'm here to listen. I want us to always be honest with each other."

Norah's eyelashes fluttered slightly downward. “Okay. By the way, I was surprised by Sacredice's involvement in today's fight. Did you enlist their help to rescue me?"
