?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 Ond’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’sbyrinthine 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 thedder 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 himfort.


    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 nonchnt smile. “Don’t mention it. Just focus on getting better.”


    During her stay in Ond, alongside caring for Alice, Norah pondered how to confront the Wilson family upon her return. The wee party for her was already arranged for three days post her return.


    The thought of her wolfish rtives sparked a chill in her eyes. “Mr. Scott,e over 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 novelty might test many rtionships, 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 dered, prompting a blush from Norah.
