Chapter: 864

Despite her outward bravado, the uncertainty of what might transpire during treatment lingered in her mind. What if something unexpected occurred? Indeed, no one knew for certain. But having Norah by her side brought Susanna an unparalleled sense of relief.

“Norah, I'll be okay, won't I?"

Susanna's clear eyes held a mixture of confusion and fear.

Norah's voice carried a firm assurance as she stated, “Everything will be fine."

Sean gently placed a hand on Susanna's forehead, offering words of encouragement. "Don't be afraid, Susanna," he reassured her. "Norah and I are both your strongest support."

Had Susanna suddenly learned of the lengthy treatment cycle, fear would undoubtedly have gripped her. However, thanks to Sean and Norah's comforting presence, she came to terms with the reality of her prolonged hospital stay.

On the second day, Susanna started gathering her essentials for the hospital. Sean had already arranged with the nurse to prepare a set for her. As she packed, Susanna made sure to take along a special pillow, the one gifted to her by Norah.

Clutching the pillow tightly, she said, "I can only sleep well with this pillow."

After Susanna was admitted to the hospital, Joanna came to visit her.

Thanks to Norah, Joanna and Susanna had grown very close, frequently gathering for private chats. In the past two days, their bond had strengthened even further as they talked about the videos displayed at Derek and Madeline's wedding.

Susanna and Joanna had been strategically managing the online comments to ensure the videos of Derek and Madeline gained popularity.

Aware that Susanna was hospitalized, Joanna visited her, bringing along some food and flowers.

"You visited me last time. Now it's my turn to visit you."

Joanna placed a bouquet of pink and purple baby's breath at Susanna's bedside, which brightened the room beautifully.

"I promised Norah I would visit you whenever possible during your hospital stay."

Dressed in a blue and white striped hospital gown, Susanna sat propped up on her bed, her long hair neatly braided, and a gentle smile on her pale face.

“Joanna, I don't need constant company like a child. I'd appreciate your visits, just every now and then."

Susanna felt a Little disappointed as she touched her wristband, recalling how her parents had been with her during a previous hospital stay. This time, they were absent.

Upon learning why Susanna felt disappointed, Joanna remained silent because she could do nothing about it.

She had heard stories about Susanna's dad. Under his guidance, the Scott Group succeeded, becoming the top-level among Glophia's wealthy families. But several years ago, he unexpectedly stepped down from his role in the company, thrusting his relatively unknown son into the leadership of the Scott Group. Then, he and his wife traveled around the world.

This change signaled to all Scott Group stakeholders that Sean was now solely in charge.

Upon assuming control, Sean implemented aggressive reforms within the company, earning a notable reputation in the business world.

Maybe the reason why Sean was unheard of before was because the Scott family preferred to stay out of the spotlight. Even Susanna's name was rarely heard around Glophia.

Joanna only became acquainted with the Scott family through her connection with Norah.
