Chapter 577:
Aware that Susanna was hospitalized, Joanna visited her, bringing along sfood 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 | 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, | 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 nwas rarely heard around Glophia.

Joanna only becacquainted with the Scott family through her connection with Norah. Her brother had
mentioned that her family and the Scott family had initiated several joint ventures. And she doubted whether it
was for her sake.
Since Sean's father had decided to step away from managing the company affairs, news about them was seldom
in Glophia. With Susanna now in the hospital, Joanna wondered if her parents would return in time.

Susanna, lying in bed, turned away from Joanna and said, “Joanna, thanks for visiting. I'm quite tired and would
like to sleep now.”
“Okay, rest well,” Joanna replied.
Aware that Susanna was missing her parents, Joanna chose to leave so as not to disturb her. She planned to
discuss this with Norah, especially since Susanna might feel uneasy with Norah being away in Silverdale for an
exchange program.
When Joanna shared the situation with Norah, Norah in turn spoke to Sean. “I've known you for so long, yet I've
never heard anything about your parents. Won't they be coming back?”
