Chapter: 196

Stepping forward, the girl delivered a swift kick to the fallen man.

"Pathetic. You couldn't handle a girl when you have a knife? Utterly useless!"

This girl held a prominent position within the Fox Alliance. The reprimanded man meekly lowered his head, too afraid to challenge her words.

"You will all face consequences!" she declared coldly, "I will not tolerate any more failures."

"Yes, madam!" the men replied firmly.

Meanwhile, Norah endured the persistent pain in her back as she drove back home. Those from Fox Alliance had proven themselves formidable, successfully locating and ensnaring her.

She remained in a haze due to the persistent throbbing of the knife injury.

Norah entered the community and suppressed her dizziness, parking her car by the side of the road. She activated her phone to reach out to Joanna for help, but as soon as it powered on, she lost consciousness against the steering wheel.

Her phone slipped from her hand, accidentally brushing against someone's contact.

A white car sat silently parked on the road with no one witnessing this scene.

The phone call was promptly answered. “Hello? Norah? What's the matter? What's wrong? Hey, are you still there? Where are you? I'm coming to you."

Sean didn't end the call. In his casual attire, he hurried to search her location. The location indicated she was right here in Dreamview Villas.

Sean was filled with anxiety. He zoomed in on the map, pinpointing a more precise position. After memorizing it, he grabbed his keys and rushed out, speeding toward the location.

Relief washed over Sean when he spotted Norah in her white car. But when he saw Norah, unconscious with her head on the steering wheel, his heart skipped a beat.

A knife wound marred her back, staining her clothes and even the seat with blood. Norah was injured!

Realizing this, Sean felt a deep sense of remorse and anguish. How much pain she must be in!

He approached the door, only to discover it was locked and received no response from Norah as he tapped on the window.

A melancholy expression adorned his face as he picked up a stone from the garden and hurled it at the car window.

Taking Norah back to his villa, Sean called the family doctor.

In the living room, Sean anxiously awaited the doctor's examination results. His countenance was cold as he pondered over who could have harmed Norah.

For the sake of Norah, a female family doctor was called over.

"The knife wound is not severe. She fainted due to exhaustion and the wound. She will regain consciousness after resting for a while," the doctor elucidated Norah's condition. "I have applied medicine and changed her clothes. A good rest will do."

Sean nodded. "Okay."

The room where Norah was sleeping was the same one she had occupied during her previous stay. Keeping it reserved for her since her last stay was Sean's deliberate choice.
