Chapter 1402: Norah paused her work to examine the list. Each candidate was a notable figure in the medical field, but one ncaught her attention-Jaxson.

"Grandma had a stroke. She's dying," Derek sighed.
Norah's expression hardened. When she had left the Carter family Juliana was in good health, suffering only from a mild cough that suggested many years still ahead of her.
