Chapter: 280

Finally, Joanna changed the subject. "You have successfully divorced Derek and even took two-thirds of the entire Carter family's property.

He must be livid. After this, I wonder if Madeline is still willing to be with that bastard."

Previously, the Carter family's wealth was on par if not slightly superior to the Powell family's. But after losing so much of their properties to Norah, the Carter family was now nowhere near the wealth of the Powell family.

“I don't really care. Their relationship has nothing to do with me,"

Norah said with a shrug.

“Anyway, I really didn't expect that Kathy and Madeline would dare to harm you with the gang's involvement. Are you just going to let them off like this?"

Hearing this, Norah rubbed her temples wearily and said, "There are just too many things going on lately. I haven't had time to deal with them."

Joanna sighed deeply and remarked absentmindedly, "I wish I hadn't been injured and were there by your side."

At this time, Bryson returned with dinner for Joanna. As he spotted Sean and Phillip at the doorway of Joanna's ward, he approached and asked, “Mr. Scott, Phillip. Are you waiting for someone? Why haven't you gone in to see Joanna?"

Sean cleared his throat but didn't say anything. Lowering his head, he showed an indifferent expression and brushed past Bryson as he left.

Phillip took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, “Mr. Andrews, please keep Mr. Scott's visit confidential. Thank you."

Bryson furrowed his brows, having no idea what just happened.

Seeing Bryson enter the ward, Norah stood up and said, “Alright, now you know everything you want to know. I won't stay too long so you can rest properly. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

"Alright." Joanna was reluctant to see Norah leave. Yet, she felt she had heard too much and needed some time to digest all the information.

Suddenly feeling a dull ache from her wound, Joanna furrowed her brows as she endured the pain. "You promised to come see me tomorrow.

Don't forget, okay?"

“Did I ever break a promise to you? I always keep my word." Then, Norah turned to Bryson and said, “Hey, take good care of Joanna for me."

"I will." Bryson nodded.

Although Bryson didn't have a clue about what had happened between Sean and Norah, his close friendship with Norah drove him to tell Norah about Sean's recent appearance after some thought. "By the way, on my way back here, I saw Mr. Scott and Phillip standing at the door of the ward. But they left as soon as I approached them."

Joanna and Norah immediately exchanged a glance and asked at the same time, "They were here just now?"

"Yeah."

Norah's mouth hung open, not knowing how much Sean had heard while she was chatting with Joanna. She was a little worried because she said a lot of things.

“Alright. I'm leaving now."

Sean made his way to the hospital to visit Norah. He arrived during the staff's off-duty time, and Norah was nowhere to be seen. So, he and Phillip made their way inside. As they neared Joanna's ward, they overheard the conversation between Joanna and Norah.
