?Chapter 761:


    After making the call, the doctor clutched his phone, still kneeling on the floor, too frightened to move.


    Norah nodded, approving his decision to stay put.


    The location was isted, and about half an hourter, they heard the approaching police sirens.


    “Nobody move!”


    A dozen policemen burst in, their eyes widening at the sight of the people sprawled on the floor. “Who called the police?”


    The doctor raised his shaking hand and said, “I did.”


    He crawled toward the policemen, pointed at Norah, and cried out, “Police, help! This woman kidnapped me and knocked out everyone who tried to rescue me. She has a lot of anesthetic. Be careful.”


    The police chief, gun in hand, surveyed the area cautiously.


    “So, you’re saying this woman kidnapped you? Is that true?” The doctor nodded, his face pale with fear, and hid behind the policemen. “Yes!”


    The officer aimed his gun at Norah, who remained seated on the deck chair. “Raise your hands. Put down everything. Now.” Norah set the anesthetic on the floor and raised her hands, her expression one of feigned innocence.


    “Sir, I’m the one who was kidnapped.”

    Norah appeared frail and innocent, adding to theplexity of her guise.


    Confronted with conflicting ounts, the police captain gestured dismissively and dered, “Take everyone back to the police station.”


    The doctor’s false ims were quickly unraveled by the other gang members. They hadn’t anticipated police intervention and were equally surprised by the doctor’s deceit.


    It was already dark after Norah provided her statements.


    The silence around her felt strange, almost unnatural.


    She realized how much she relied on Sean. With him by her side, she wouldn’t have had to face these issues alone, nor would she find herself isted after midnight.


    She tried to persuade herself that loneliness was a constant, unweepanion.


    Taking a deep breath, she resolved to be ustomed to living on her own.


    After showering in the hotel, Norah called Joanna and inquired about Susanna. She and Sean were still giving each other the silent treatment, so she had to ask Joanna about Susanna’s condition. Joanna had just left the hospital after visiting Susanna.


    “It’s okay. Susanna has been transferred to a general ward; they have kept her under observation. She woke up once tonight but didn’t talk to anyone.”
