?Chapter 984:
For them, Norah’s survival was a happy development.
For the Wilsons, it was a bolt from the blue.
Hadley, standing next to Hank, was thrilled about Norah’s survival. She silently clenched her fists, not showing her excitement on her face.

After all, with Norah gone and their own culpability, they had little room for argument.
They were fortunate to even have a roof over their heads.

As the family elder, Juliana was deeply concerned.
