Chapter 241:
A Warning From Alice
Kelvin’s expression grew grim. “The trouble’s with the local police. We need to figure out a way to get out of here
before we end up at the station. Facing their interrogation could take days.”
Norah was familiar with Otland’s police force from past encounters. They weren't the easiest to deal with, and as
Kelvin suggested, avoiding them altogether was the best strategy.
“We can escape through the secret passage Jack used. Let's stick together.” With the police already on-site,
there was no point in lingering.
“Let's move,” Sean said, taking the lead with Norah by his side. “You all follow me.”
They entered the secret passage and twisted a switch to seal the entrance behind them. In the subdued light
below, their breathing was the only sound.

“Keep up,” Norah urged, leading the way. “We'll find an exit further on.”
The sewer’s labyrinthine paths were unfamiliar to Sean and the others, who trailed behind Norah through the
twists and turns.
“This looks like our way out. The police sirens seem distant now.”
“Alright,” Phillip responded, ascending the ladder first to push aside the manhole cover.

After Kelvin emerged and scoped out the area, he reported back, “We're not far from our parking spot.”
Norah couldn't help but express her surprise. “Really? What a stroke of luck!”
Her intimate knowledge of Lochdeer’s underbelly, gained from a past spent navigating its sewers and bridges,
had guided them to this point.
“I need my phone.” Suddenly, Norah closed the distance between herself and Sean, her hand slipping into his
pocket to retrieve her phone. She bowed her head to respond to a message.
“Alice is checking in on me. We should head to the hospital now.”
Sean, taken aback by her sudden fervor, could only nod. “Whatever you need.” Being close to Norah was all he
desired. Merely being in her presence brought him comfort.
Kelvin found it hard to bear, seeing Sean—the decisive and formidable leader of the Sacredice—transformed by
love.
Soon, Phillip drove over, taking the three to the hospital to find Alice.
In the hospital, Alice lit up with joy upon watching the video on Norah’s phone.
“Thank you, Norah.” Alice had been unjustly abused and beaten up, but Norah had exacted revenge on her
behalf. It was a relief to have Norah by her side, championing her cause with fierce retribution.

Norah offered a nonchalant smile. “Don’t mention it. Just focus on getting better.”
During her stay in Otland, alongside caring for Alice, Norah pondered how to confront the Wilson family upon her
return. The welcparty for her was already arranged for three days post her return.
The thought of her wolfish relatives sparked a chill in her eyes. “Mr. Scott, cover here.” Lost in her thoughts,
Norah was interrupted by Alice calling for Sean.
“Norah is my only friend. Generously her. No matter where you hide, I'll make you pay!” However, Alice
conceded that she wouldn't intervene if Norah chose to end things.
Sean looked at Norah and replied earnestly, “I promise, my feelings for Norah will not change.”
While ty might test many relationships, Sean's resolve had been unwavering since childhood. Once he
decided on something, he never looked back. Now that he had realized Norah was the one he desired and they
were an item, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
“I look forward to your wedding,” Alice declared, prompting a blush from Norah.
