?Chapter 865:


    The more Joanna thought about it, the more she sobbed, convinced that she was responsible for the loss of Madeline’s baby. Raina burst into the room and enveloped the sobbing Joanna in her arms. “Joanna, stop crying. This wasn’t your fault. Don’t carry the guilt.”


    Joanna lifted her tear-streaked face from Raina’s embrace. “But Mom, it feels like I am to me.”


    Raina’sforting stopped abruptly, her face showing shock.


    Undeterred by her failure to locate Ivy, Norah continued her investigation with determination. She was set on uncovering the person responsible for Ivy’s disappearance over two decades ago.


    During this time, Norah revisited Bay Vige and approached the house where Ivy had once lived. Under the cover of darkness, she meticulously examined the area.


    The house was made of brick, surrounded by expansive fields, each home featuring arge yard. Beneath the pigsty, Norah found a cer, cleverly divided into two sections. One half contained grain, hastily left behind in their sudden departure. In the other section, she discovered signs that someone had been living there.


    Could it have been Justin’s hideout? Did he make the cer his room?


    Such a theory seemed unlikely. Everyone in the vige knew that Ivy’s family consisted of three members, and they rarely interacted with others. There was no reason for Justin to reside in a dark cer. Was there someone else with them who needed to remain hidden? What had prompted them to conceal that person?


    Norah’s mind swirled with questions, each one leading to more uncertainty.


    The best stories are at g?lnσν????s???????


    To prevent her from returning to Glophia, Hank had taken drastic measures, hiring assassins through undergroundworks. Hanley had warned her that as long as Norah stayed in Silverdale, the risk of abduction would remain.


    Would Norah simply wait for her fate? She would not.


    Upon returning, Norah, with JW’s help, infiltrated the organization’swork. She located several hideouts and quickly forwarded these locations to the police, hoping to keep the organization upied for a while.


    She hadn’t seen Marlin since his confession. asionally, she met with Ynde and Rosalee, who invited her out. Jarrod, ever the workaholic, left the hospital prematurely after just a week.


    Reflecting on her recent focus on Ivy’s case, Norah realized she hadn’t contacted Joanna in days and wondered how Susanna was doing.


    When she tried calling, she only got a busy signal. Joanna didn’t pick up the phone.
