Chapter: 870

"I did call when I found out I had to be hospitalized."

Susanna had hoped to avoid hospitalization, thinking Norah's skills would suffice. But once admitted, she felt the sting of her parents * absence keenly.

"Alright, alright. We're here now. Don't be scared. We'll always be with you."

Matteo Scott, Susanna's dad, who had been quiet on the sofa, finally spoke. "Don't be afraid, Susanna."

Dressed in a casual black suit, his commanding presence was unmistakable, his wealth and status subtly apparent in his every move.

He adjusted his sleeves, and asked, "Where's your brother? We're back.

Why hasn't he come to see us?"

There was a sense of seriousness in his plain tone.

Susanna, used to her father's serious demeanor, defended her brother's absence. "Since Sean took over the Scott Group, of course, he's busy with work. It's easy for you to say; you don't have to worry about anything."

Someone suddenly gasped.

Susanna perked up at the sound and glanced over at the newcomer in the room.

“Mom, who's that?"

Just as Susanna spoke, there was a knock on the door.

Her question coincided with the knock on the door, and Kayla responded, “Hold on a sec."

Then she called out to the door, "Come on in."

Susanna pouted and glanced up at the person entering. Her face Lit up as she recognized Norah in her regular attire.

“Norah, are you off work? Come over!"

What a coincidence! Norah would get to meet her parents right before heading to Silverdale.

Calmly, Susanna stole a glance at the girl seated by the door and introduced Norah warmly to her parents. “Mom, Dad, while you were away, I made some great friends. This is my bestie, Norah Wilson.

She's a cardiac surgeon at this hospital."

Kayla stood up, running her slender fingers through her hair, and smiled politely.

"Hi, Miss Wilson. I'm Susanna's mom."

She studied Norah closely. Her chestnut hair was tied, her face stunningly beautiful, her figure slender and tall. She was impressive, thought Kayla.

Susanna realized her parents, globe-trotters that they were, had no clue about Norah's other identities. When Sean would spill the beans, they'd be in for a surprise, she mused.
