Chapter 605:
Norah gazed up at the sky; she hadn't been back to Silverdale for many years. She pondered the well-being of
acquaintances from her past.
The team leader was busy counting heads as Baylor stayed close to Norah.

“Thank you!” Gemma exclaimed, almost shouting in her excitement. She quickly clasped her hand over her
mouth, her eyes sparkling.
“If you ever need advice on plastic surgery, just ask me. However, Dr. Wilson, you are so beautiful. You really
don’t need any procedures.” Gemma examined Norah's face, observing from her forehead down to her chin. “To
me, your features are absolutely perfect, truly stunning!”
