Chapter: 588

"Bryson, please know you can come to me if you need any help. I'L do everything in my power," Susanna added.

Spencer and Kaiden voiced their solidarity, their loyalty unwavering.

Except for Joanna, the group rallied around Bryson, offering support and solace amidst the storm of accusations.

The warmth and reassurance from his friends and family provided Bryson with a measure of comfort, easing the weight of his burden.

“Thank you, everyone. Get some rest, Joanna. I'm heading home." With a heavy heart, Bryson bowed his head and swiftly exited the ward.

The sharpness of Joanna's criticism lingered, piercing Bryson's heart like a knife, and leaving him emotionally wounded.

Bryson departed, and soon after, the others in the ward bid farewell to Norah before departing as well.

The ward suddenly quieted down.

Blinking her wide eyes, Susanna remained silent, her thoughts and emotions concealed behind her gaze.

Joanna's tears still streamed down her cheeks. Susanna's mind raced.

What words should she muster to comfort Joanna now? She considered it prudent to remain silent and simply concur with Norah.

"Joanna, remember, Bryson is your brother. Your words have hurt him deeply. There's a strong possibility that Kathy schemed against Bryson, who is innocent," Norah said.

Norah's gaze met Joanna's tearful eyes, prompting her to soften her tone. "Your words are cutting deep. Take a moment to calm down and reflect. Right now, the choice is yours. Do you wish to continue inflicting pain on Bryson with harsh words or find a constructive way to address the situation with Kathy?"

With a gentle stroke to Joanna's head, Norah coaxed, "You're known for your reason and consideration. Surely, you can empathize with Bryson, can't you?"

Joanna gathered her composure and dried her eyes. "Yes, I can. Sorry for this scene, Norah."

Despite feeling upset and believing Bryson deserved better, the deed was done. The Andrews family had long maintained high ethical standards. Given the circumstances, it was imperative to clarify the situation to the Carter family and Kathy.

Plus, Joanna understood her family's dynamics intimately. Clearly, Kathy was to blame for concocting a scheme against Bryson.

"It's important that you see it that way. Susanna and I will head out now. See you tomorrow." Norah gave Joanna's cheek a gentle pinch.

"We'll figure it out."

Norah saw through this drama, knowing the entire debacle had escalated solely because of Kathy's maneuvers.

While they were leaving the hospital, Susanna linked arms with Norah, radiating excitement. "Norah, I've been eagerly awaiting your return.

Remember Emil and Kalel, who stirred up trouble at your father's birthday party?"

"Yes, I remember." Norah nodded.

"The more I thought about it after you left, the more infuriated I became. I had someone apprehend them and ensure they were taught a lesson," Susanna continued.
