NovelEnglishChapter 376:
Sean gazed warmly at Norah, his eyes steady.
She nudged him gently, asking, “Why the intense stare? Where's Phillip? Wasn't he with you?”
At the gate of her villa, she never thought he’d be all by himself.
“How long have you been here? Why didn’t you call?” Shaking his arm, she suggested, “Let's head inside and
chat.”
Sean's heart skipped a beat when Norah suddenly cup to him.
“Sure.”
“Take a seat. I'll go change upstairs.”
Wearing formal attire wasn’t ideal. Hurrying, Norah switched into more comfortable clothes after ushering Sean
inside.

As the days went by, the heat kept rising. Glophia was now in the midst of a scorching summer.
As they got back, the central air conditioner in the villa was already running. Norah caught her reflection in the
mirror, noticing the makeup on her face. She hesitated briefly before deciding to leave it on until evening. As the
chilly breeze swept through the villa, Sean loosened his tie.
With Norah now living here, Sean sensed a newfound liveliness in the house.

He shrugged off his suit jacket, rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows, and reached out to straighten the clutter
on the coffee table.
He had a little case of obsessive-compulsive disorder and just couldn't resist arranging everything neatly. With
Phillip and the maid's help, his villa gleamed clean and spotless.
Maybe Norah was tied up with tasks. The villa had bits left unpacked, and a few spots were dusty. On the coffee
table, lay brochures from Silver Boulder Private Hospital and a stack of medical files.
While tidying, Sean dropped a paper. When he picked it up, he accidentally unfolded a page.
It detailed leukemia.
With Susanna’s diagnosis in mind, Sean’s gaze fell to the document, and he read it carefully.
“Sean, what are you reading?”
After changing, Norah rushed downstairs, swiftly taking the papers from his hand.
“It’s hospital paperwork. | left it here by mistake. Don’t worry about it.”
She pulled open a drawer, shoved all the papers inside, and firmly shut it.
Sean's expression darkened. Did Norah intend to keep this from him? What was she hiding?
He straightened slowly and asked, “Norah, | just read something about leukemia on that paper. Is it about
Susanna?”
Avoiding eye contact, Norah replied, “No. Those papers are from the hospital. Nothing to do with Susanna.”

“Norah, if anything goes wrong with Susanna, | hope you can tell me. I'm her brother, after all. | think I've got a
right to know how she’s doing.”
“Do | need to keep her condition secret from you?” Norah shot him a disapproving glance, then gathered the rest
of her hair with a rubber band from the table.
“Have you eaten yet?”
It was already five twenty in the afternoon. Feeling low after sorting through the Wilson family stuff, she craved
cooking up something tasty to treat herself.
“You didn’t respond to anything I asked.”
Sean’s mind was still stuck on the document. If it was just hospital information, why keep it from him?
“I went to a party with Phillip but returned early. Susanna needed help, so | asked Phillip to assist her.”
Leaning against the wall, Sean admitted, “I haven't eaten. | hung around after Phillip left, then chere.”
He had decided against calling Norah. Instead, he had stood there silently for a bit, not anticipating her return
right then.
