Chapter: 1528
Norah resolved to spread even more hope in the future.
Once Keenan's condition was stable and he was moved to a regular room, all Norah heard were words of praise from her family.
Thinking it over, she realized that since her grandfather was stable and only needed rest to recover, she could step away to attend to other matters.
After discussing it with her mother, Norah caught a flight to Hander Land. The heart disease medication was already in clinical trials and didn't require her daily oversight.
She was finally on her way to see Alice!
At the airport in Hander Land, Alice was waiting excitedly, holding the hand of a little boy about five years old. He had short, curly blond hair, a smattering of freckles across his cheeks, and strikingly bright, large eyes. "Mom, when is Aunt Norah going to arrive?"
“Troy, just a little Longer. She's almost here," Alice reassured her son Troy Mayer.
She craned her neck, scanning the crowd for Norah's familiar figure until she finally spotted her.
“Norah, over here!"
Norah arrived with only a small backpack, confident that Alice had everything else covered.
"Alice, how's the shoulder?" Norah asked with concern.
The two embraced, and Norah playfully poked Alice's wounded shoulder.
"Ouch, that hurts! If it starts bleeding again, you'll have to redo the bandage for me," Alice protested.
Their laughter filled the air, creating a light, joyful atmosphere.
Troy watched Norah, fascinated by the cheerful rapport she shared with his mother.
“This must be your son Troy, right? He's absolutely adorable." Norah bent down, scooped up Troy in her arms, and gave him a big hug.
Troy hugged her neck tightly, his eyes lit up with delight. He cherished the warmth of the lovely woman's embrace, noticing even her pleasant scent.
His cheeks blushed as he joyfully exclaimed, "Mom, I like this pretty lady."
“Remember to call her Aunt Norah," Alice corrected gently, patting his back. "Norah, let's head to my place and catch up."
Norah had a way with people, and Alice wasn't surprised that her son would take to her quickly.
"I'd like to sit in the front seat today," Norah declared.
With Troy in her arms, she led the way, her expression relaxed and joyful as she chatted with him.
Alice's smile was tender as she followed them; she had envisioned this reunion many times. It felt great to see their happiness align.
She quickened her pace to join their lively chat.
