Chapter: 437

After discovering Norah was the Supernatural Doctor, Sean had the Sacredice look into her. The report he received was scant, detailing only her life post-marriage to the Carter family.

"It makes sense, though. It's wise to know who you're getting involved with. Darling, it says a lot that you're open to dating someone with no past like me. Does it not worry you that I might be an international criminal?" Norah teased.

As Norah's smile turned mischievous, Sean's voice carried a note of resignation, “Even if you were on the world's most wanted list, it wouldn't change a thing for me. If it comes down to it, we'll just find a secluded spot to spend our days."

Norah's laughter soon filled the air, her eyes crinkling into crescents, much like the moon on a clear night.

In a moment of boldness, Sean kissed those laughing eyes. Taken aback by his audacity, Norah playfully swatted at his shoulder. “Don't do this in public anymore."

“Doing what?" Sean raised an eyebrow.

But Norah didn't entertain his question. Instead, she retrieved the handgun from the metal case and began to insert the bullets.

Sean, who had considerable influence in Otland, could have easily secured a luxury hotel room and acquired a superior firearm.

Sean covered her hand with his, cautioning her, "Be careful with that.

It's loaded."

"I'm aware." Norah stuffed extra bullets into her pockets and secured the handgun in a holster at her hip, giving it a reassuring pat.

"Safe now."

As she adjusted her jacket, revealing another firearm tucked away, Sean caught a glimpse but chose not to question it.

The black car came to a halt on the outskirts of Lochdeer's East Zone.

K emerged from the rear of the vehicle and made his way to the driver's window. Phillip responded by rolling down the window.

"Hello, I'm Kelvin. From this point forward, I'll ensure your safety in Otland." A smile crept across Kelvin's dark red lips, lending him an aura of both menace and allure.

Standing tall at one meter eighty, Kelvin presented a striking figure.

His silver-white hair and eyes contrasted sharply with his stature, adding a layer of intrigue. Despite his gentle demeanor, a certain ruthlessness and an occasional sinister glint in his eyes suggested he was not to be underestimated. His role as Sean's sole bodyguard hinted at his considerable abilities.

Norah cast a wary glance at Kelvin. Although their paths had crossed merely a few times, her instincts whispered that he was far from benign. Perhaps he had a history marked by violence, similar to her own. Outwardly innocuous yet harboring a hidden malevolence only they could comprehend.

Norah diverted her attention from Kelvin and Phillip, turning to Sean with a sense of resolve. "Sean, are you sure you're ready to join me?"

Sean clasped her hand with conviction. "Don't even think about leaving me behind."

Norah was torn between amusement and emotion. "Then it's settled.

We'll face this together. Just be aware that I might not always be able to shield you in battle."

Sean's expression darkened. “Who's protecting whom here?"
