?Chapter 474:


    Yet, Kason’s reputation for being cold-hearted and staunchly principled begged the question: would he deviate from his principles for Norah?


    Although strict adherence to thew was the norm, a saying suggested apassionate aspect to it. Norah’s actions might have been deemed justifiable by thew, considering her targets were deserving of punishment.


    Kason nced up, noticing Kaiden’s hesitancy. “Is something wrong?” Kason asked as Kaiden motioned him to a secluded corner.


    Kaiden urgently whispered, “If Norah is in trouble, will you lend a hand?”


    He chose his words carefully, avoiding direct usations against Norah for the deaths. Instead, he subtly hinted at it, relying on Kason’s intuition to grasp the implication.


    Kason remained enveloped in a contemtive silence, the weight of a decisive resolve settling within him as hemitted to shielding Norah from harm.


    “It’s time for you to return,” Kason said after a prolonged pause, then rolled away in his wheelchair, a figure of solitude and detachment.


    Puzzled, Kaiden rubbed his head, secretly questioning Kason’s stance on offering aid.


    Back at the vi, Susanna eagerly suggested, “What if I stay tonight? Sean, you head back alone.”


    Standing by Norah, Susanna confessed, “I’m still a bit scared. But being with Norah makes me feel secure.” When danger had lurked, Norah had boldly taken the lead in protecting them, joined by Alice.


    Susanna’s words momentarily caught Sean off guard, prompting him to wonder if she implied a desire to leave him behind.

    Norah couldn’t help but stifle a chuckle before answering, “You know what, Sean and Phillip? You’re more than wee to spend the night here. We’ve got plenty of rooms in the vi.”


    Phillip remained silent, waiting for Sean’s reply while privately considering the possibility of staying overnight at Norah’s vi.


    Finally breaking the silence, Sean responded with a smile, “Sure, honey. I’d be happy to ept your invitation.”


    They all stepped into Norah’s vi.


    Norah handed out sleep-inducing candles and sachets to everyone.


    “Here, these will help you sleep. I’m going to shower. Let me know if you need anythingter.” She headed upstairs without looking back.


    Alice also went to her own room, leaving Sean, Susanna, and Phillip alone in the living room. They gathered on the sofa, each finding a spot to sit.
