Nora clenched her fists silently. Her almond-shaped eyes drooped slightly. It was as if there was suddenly a heavy burden on her shoulders.
She did not expect Quentin to trust her so blindly.
This made her feel pressured.
She did not enter and instead turned to Ian's lounge.
Ian was holding his phone and looking at something. However, Nora could vaguely hear Joel's voice.
She was about to take a closer look when Ian heard her enter. He quickly switched off her phone and looked at her guiltily. "Nora, why are you here?"
Nora: "...How are you?"
Ian smiled. "I'm quite good. I feel like I can be discharged in a few days."
Nora nodded.
Ian looked at her.
Nora pursed her lips.
Ian was still looking at her.
Nora sat down at the side and stood upright.
Ian was still looking at her.
For a moment, there was nothing between them. A faint awkwardness filled the room.
Looking at her new father, Nora still felt a sense of estrangement.
After all, she had seen him fewer than a dozen times.
Nora stood up. "If you're fine, I'll get going."
Ian subconsciously asked, "You're leaving so soon?"
He had not seen enough of his daughter!
Nora nodded. "Yes, I still have something to do."
She walked towards the door and had just opened it when Ian's voice suddenly came from behind. "Nora, you just went to see Quentin, right?"
Nora paused.
She did not turn back, but she still heard Ian's voice. "It's okay. As long as you try your best, even if the outcome is unsatisfactory, it's okay. I know Quentin. He won't blame you."
Nora felt relieved. She felt as if strands of warmth were flowing into her heart again.
She lowered her head. "Yes."
With that, she turned around. "Thank you."
After leaving the hospital, Nora got into her car and planned to interrogate Yvonne.
However, she suddenly thought of something and picked up her phone. She suddenly sent that little psycho a message: "Can I ask you a question?"
The little psycho replied quickly: "Beg me."
Nora: "Then forget it."
Little Psycho: "No, you have to ask!" He was extremely curious about what questions his little servant wanted to ask.
Nora: "No."
Little Psycho: "Ask! I can answer you a question for free!"
Nora was waiting for this sentence. "Why must I have a child?"
The moment this question was asked, the other party replied.
After seeing that reply, Nora's eyes widened in shock...
On the other end of the line, the other party's message was very clear.
[You'll die if you don't have children.]
Nora stared at those words and felt that she did not understand what they meant. She frowned and sent another message. "Why?"
The other party: "This is the second question. Beg me."
Nora:"..."
She lowered her eyes. "Please, will you tell me?"
The other party: "It depends on my mood."
He clearly did not intend to say anything.
Nora ignored him and threw her phone aside.
She did not understand what this answer meant, but from what she heard, she felt that things were developing in a strange direction.
Why would she die if she did not give birth?
She sat in the car quietly and thought for a long time before starting the car and heading to the special department.
In the special department.
Previously, when Yvonne was in an ordinary prison, she had always felt that her prison break was very simple. Therefore, even after she was arrested by the special department, she still sat there calmly and did not say anything.
Morris and Brenda did not torture her, but they did not get any useful information.
Ever since she was arrested, she had been in the interrogation room. She did not eat, drink, or sleep. At this moment, she looked very haggard, but the gaze in her eyes was very firm.
Nora entered the interrogation room and sat opposite her.
She thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Are you waiting for them to save you?"
When Yvonne heard this, her eyes trembled before she raised her head. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Nora spoke again. "Your computer skills have improved tremendously recently!"
