?Chapter 876:


    “Joanna, don’t worry. We’ll handle it.”


    “Bryson, after dinner, let’s go see Madeline. I want to speak to them in person.”


    Joanna took a big bite of her sandwich, deciding to confront the situation head-on.


    “I want to know what they have to say and what they intend to do.”


    Her family exchanged looks, a sigh of relief passing between them. They felt Joanna had be more mature.


    “But I can’t get through to Norah. Bryson, have you contacted hertely?”


    “I spoke with her before heading to the hospital yesterday. We haven’t been in touch since then. Is something wrong?” Bryson had always cared deeply for Norah but never expressed his feelings about this one-sided love.


    “Yesterday, Norah tried calling me several times, but I missed her calls. I called backter, but her phone was unreachable.”


    Raina reassured her, “Norah is a mature woman. She probably has her reasons for not picking up. Don’t worry about it. Just focus on your tasks.”


    “Okay.”


    Joanna tried to suppress her anxiety, turning her thoughts to what she would say to Madeler.


    “Madeline, we will have another child someday. Don’t be sad.”


    The magic happens on g?lnσν???s??????


    Derek held Madeline’s hand, looking at her with affection. It would have shocked many to learn that the attentive husband he portrayed in public was actually a yer.


    After the urgent call from his family, Derek and Coen hurried back to Glophia. Luckily for them, Hank wasn’t upset about their failed deal with the Globe Group, nor did he question their whereabouts.


    Derek cared for Madeline with both sympathy and affection, but he no longer felt passion or joy. His care was simply out of a sense of duty.


    When he learned they had lost the baby, part of him felt relieved. He wasn’t ready to be a father. Plus, Sharon had managed to find out from the doctor that the baby was a girl.


    What good was a daughter? Derek thought. A daughter would only bring him trouble. If their first child had been a boy, he might have been more open to having a daughterter. Since the baby was gone, it meant this girl would never join the Carter family.


    “We’re heading home in two days. The hospital environment isn’t good enough,” Madeline said.
