?Chapter 888:


    Holding onto that glimmer of hope, they continued their search. Bryson expressed his sorrow, saying, “No one could have predicted such a tragedy for Norah. I went with Joanna to the site. It looked like she might have fallen from the cliff. The chances of surviving that are incredibly slim.”


    Spencer sighed and said, “I’m still hoping that Norah will return to see the mour Club. I’ve redone the stage for Dream, hoping it will impress her.”


    The group collectively sighed, sitting on the bench, absorbed in their gloomy thoughts.


    Unable to bear the somber mood, Kaiden attempted to steer the conversation elsewhere.


    “Thankfully, Susanna’s condition is improving. Let’s hope the psychological treatments this time are effective.”


    He suspected that Susanna was battling depression, given her multiple suicide attempts and her withdrawal from others. Joanna secretly wished that Norah could be with them. As a renowned doctor and a beacon of hope in Silverdale, Norah had built a reputation for treating patients. Joanna was certain Norah could find a way to alleviate Susanna’s depression.


    Joanna held onto the hope that Norah was still alive.


    Before heading to the site where Norah wasst seen, Sean had arranged for Phillip to look after Susanna in Glophia. He then joined the search team to scour the area for Norah.


    Despite the pain in his legs, blistered feet, and scratches from the dense undergrowth in the woods, nothing could deter him from his mission to find Norah.

    “Mr. Scott! Mr. Scott!”


    One member of the rescue team approached him excitedly, holding something. “I found something.”


    In his hand was a piece of brown windbreaker fabric.


    “I found this caught on a branch further up in the woods.” After a brief look, Sean turned away, his face etched with disappointment.


    A veteran team member leaned in and whispered to the neer, “You’re new around here. Lately, many people have turned up with various items from the woods—torn clothes, shoes, and even jewelry. We’ve filled half a box with such things.”


    The new member followed his gaze and saw a box filled with women’s belongings.


    His initial thrill faded. He had thought his find was a stroke of luck that might bring him a hefty reward. He realized now that many others had attempted simr tactics to gain Sean’s attention.


    He muttered, “But I really did find it on a branch.”
