Chapter 895:

Upon arriving, Joanna knocked and entered. She was immediately enveloped in darkness.

The gloom inside pressed down on her spirits, prompting her to turn on the light. The sudden brightness caused

Trudy to spin around abruptly in the living room.

Joanna didn’t notice anything amiss and placed the gifts on the table.

“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Davies, I'm Joanna Andrews, a good friend of Norah's.”

After introducing herself, she gave Gil a nod. “I apologize for not visiting sooner.”

Since Norah had gone missing, Joanna had been reflecting on their shared memories and realized she hadn't

kept many promises. She was now determined to fulfill them one by one.

Gil nodded back at her. “You're a kind soul. Thank you for thinking of us. Next time, please don’t bring gifts.

We're just happy to see you.”

He recognized Joanna, as she was often with Norah. After Susanna was hospitalized, Joanna had frequently

She blinked playfully, trying to inject shumor to lighten the somber mood in the house.

“We'll both cto visit when she gets back. Mr. and Mrs. Davies, | need to go now. Take care.”

She waved goodbye with a smile. Despite their cool demeanor, she didn’t mind and turned to leave.

hallway, preferring not to let her inside.

Back inside the house, Trudy lifted her aged face, her eyes red and teary. She began to cry again.

“Norah always cared for us, even while on a business trip. She was only gone for three months. How could this

have happened?” Gil had learned of Norah's disappearance from Susanna the previous week. He had tried to

shield the news from his wife but found himself too distracted at home. Eventually, Trudy pressured him into

telling her.

Their hwas then enveloped in sadness.

“What a remarkable girl! She was so kind to us. We haven't even met her new boyfriend yet...”
