?Chapter 622:


    Susanna’s anxiety grew. Norah was on a business trip in Silverdale. Could something have happened to her?


    She used her free hand to search for news on Silverdale online. Thetest video reports popped up quickly.


    “We are at an intersection in Silverdale where a car ident has just taken ce. A truck collided with an ambnce, causing significant damage. It seems unlikely that anyone inside the ambnce survived.” The cameraman moved through the crash site, documenting the destruction, and referred to another car crash on the highway.


    “The doctors in the ambnce were on their way back from attending to major idents on the highway. Sadly, they became victims of this catastrophic collision.” The flickering lights of the ambnce were visible in the video. Susanna recognized it as the ambnce from Concord Hospital. Sean’s earlier anxiety made sense now. Was Norah in that ambnce?


    The realization hit Susanna so hard that she nearly dropped her phone. She refused to believe it.


    With unease gnawing at her, Susanna fired off messages to Joanna and Alice.


    Ka, observing her closely, said with concern, “Susanna, take a break. Put your phone down for a bit. Why is your forehead drenched in sweat? Are you feeling alright?”


    “I’m fine.” Susanna mustered a faint smile, keeping her worries about Norah hidden.


    Soon enough, Susanna’s group chat buzzed with their responses, but no one could reach Norah. Joanna typed, “I think there’s truth to what she said. I’m so worried. I need to go to Silverdale.”

    Alice replied, “I’ming with you. I’m worried too.”


    Joanna typed again, “No, I’ll go alone to figure out what’s going on. You two wait for my update.”


    Alice quickly typed, “Can Ie with you? Please!”


    Susanna, typing slowly with one hand, found herself falling behind. As she typed out two words, more messages flooded in, adding to her fluster.


    “My brother has already gone to Silverdale.”


    Joanna and Alice fell into a telling silence.


    After a brief pause, Joanna responded. “I contacted Sean. We can use his ne. Alice, I’ming to pick you up now!”


    Joanna had made her decision to go to Silverdale, her resolve as firm as apass pointing north. The ambnce in the video was a wreck. If Norah was truly in it…


    Tears brimmed in Susanna’s eyes, and she choked back a sob, rming Ka.
