Chapter 712:
Norah, with no security personnel to protect her, seemed to have little chance of escaping a calculated
assassination. This time, Norah had to die.
Outside the door, Hadley stifled a gasp, her eyes widening in shock. Hank harbored lethal intentions toward
Norah. Upon hearing footsteps approaching, she quickly composed herself and quietly moved away from the
doorway, heading toward her son’s room. Her eight-year-old son, engrossed in his schoolwork, had just returned
hfrom his studies.
She sat beside him, though her mind appeared distant.

Her thoughts drifted back to her encounter with Norah—a radiant woman who had endured hardship before
reuniting with her family. Hadley’s mind wandered as she pondered the situation. What awaited Norah was not
familial care, but concealed malice. Hadley was uncertain about her next move.
Her fingers curled slightly on her thighs, indicating the weight of the decision between Hank and Norah.
Meanwhile, her obedient son remained focused on his studies.
“Mom, the teacher introduced two new words today. I'm not sure what they mean.”
He placed the book in front of her and pointed to the words. “Could you explain them, Mom?”
Hadley glanced down. The words were “vacillation” and “foresight.”
Just seeing those two words, Hadley’s mind instantly cleared.

She hugged her son and kissed him. “Thank you, my love. | have something to take care of. Ill explain it to you
later.”
Afraid of being overheard as she left, she tried calling Norah twice from her room but received no response. Had
Norah blocked her? Hadley felt confused.

Previously, at the hospital, they had exchanged contact details. Hadley had assumed that Norah would return
her call, but now she wasn’t so sure.
With a heavy heart, she disconnected the call. Perhaps fate had decided she wouldn't have a say in the matter.
Once Norah finished her shift, she jumped off the operating table and went straight for her phone.
The moment she turned it on, a flood of missed calls appeared.
The call logs showed attempts from both Hadley and Gilda.
After changing, Norah called Gilda back first.
“Hello, what's up?”
