Chapter: 420

Grasping Norah's hands tightly, Alice said with glee, “Thank you, Norah."

Norah had avenged Alice when no one else would. Watching the tormentors suffer in the video brought Alice a deep sense of satisfaction.

"Everything I promised, I've done. Alice, please focus on your recovery." Norah was aware of Alice's propensity for aggression.

Without anyone in her corner, Alice's temper could easily spiral out of control, potentially leading to fatal outcomes.

“Alright. Tears formed in Alice's eyes as she nodded in strong agreement. With Norah's support, she felt the warmth akin to having a supportive family. She no longer felt as though she was all alone in the world.

Later, after she was done taking care of Alice, Norah got a call from Sean.

"I'm right outside the hospital," Sean informed honey.

"I'll be right there."

Glancing at the package on the table, Norah paused and opted to bring it along. She believed in being transparent with Sean about her actions to maintain the health of their relationship, opting to reveal her authentic self to him now and then As she walked past the reception, Norah's presence alone was enough to unnerve the nurse, leaving with a sense of triumph upon seeing the nurse's scared look.

Norah resolved to hire a reliable caregiver for Alice the next day, acknowledging that Alice's continued hospital stay required professional care in her absence.

Sean noticed Norah as she approached the hospital's exit and came toward her. He noticed a change in her attire. "Norah, what's with your dress?"

In the morning, her dress was a long skirt, but now it changed drastically. The section around her thighs was jagged, showing a clear sign that it had been hastily modified.

“It's not important." Norah's response was brief.

“What's that you're carrying? Let me help." With Norah disinclined to elaborate, Sean smoothly changed the subject.

Norah dismissed his offer with a gesture. "I've got this."

As she adjusted the package, Sean detected the faint odor of blood.

He speculated perhaps Norah had purchased some sort of meat.

"Didn't Phillip come with you? Where is he?"

"He's on his way, following us."

Once Norah settled into the car, Sean reached over to secure her seatbelt and gently touched her cheek. "No need for extra company on our date, right?" His voice, deep and captivating, carried a playful undertone.

Furthermore, his face was merely inches away from Norah and she could feel the warmth of his breath.

Sean looked straight at her face. His gaze traveled from her eyebrows down to her crimson lips. "Norah, may I?"

“What do you..." Before Norah could finish her sentence, he had planted a kiss on her lips, the sound resonating within the confines of the car.

Once he was done kissing her, Sean leaned back on the driver's seat, straightened his tie, and declared with satisfaction, “Let's get going. I know a great place for us to eat."
