Chapter: 651

Gil remarked, "You haven't been here for years, yet nothing has changed around here. Drop by when you have some time, Norah."

"Sure, I'll do that," Norah responded.

Gil and his wife had always been kind to her, treating her as if she were family, though they weren't related by blood.

Norah resolved to treat them even better.

In the living room, Gil's wife, Trudy Davies, sat on the sofa, occasionally glancing at the door.

She was eagerly awaiting Norah's visit.

Every light was on, filling the room with brightness.

Upon entering, Norah noticed this and felt a warmth spread through her.

Gil and Trudy lived a modest life, usually being careful with their utilities.

Trudy considered using all the lights wasteful. It was rare to see the apartment so brightly lit.

“Hello, Mrs. Davies," Norah called out.

Trudy, sitting on the sofa, quickly replied, “Norah, my dear."

They embraced warmly in the living room.

Gil stood at the door, blinking his tear-filled eyes.

They had always treated Norah with genuine kindness, and she had reciprocated.

It had been two years since Norah's last visit, but they didn't blame her.

At the time, Norah was married, making it difficult for her to visit.

Now, newly divorced, Gil was relieved to see her reclaiming her old self.

In their eyes, Norah was a remarkable person. She deserved more than to be confined in an unhappy marriage; her future was promising.

Norah held Trudy tighter.

“Mrs. Davies, I'm sorry for not visiting you for so long."

At those words, Trudy felt a tightness in her throat. “It's okay, dear. The important thing is you're here now."

ALL she wanted was Norah's well-being, regardless of how often she visited.

"Why don't we sit and chat over some food?"
