?Chapter 1042:


    “Okay,” Norah replied with a polite smile.


    Joanna said goodbye to the two men before departing with Norah. As their figures receded, Kason and Kaiden also made their way out.


    Kason, who was experienced in managing such situations, had efficiently organizedpensation for the families of three victims.


    Silently, Norah transferred a sum of money to Kason’s ount, a gesture of gratitude towards those whose families had been affected by her ordeal.


    With financial support, they could live a little morefortably. Norah understood that lives were more valuable than money, but providing financial help was the only thing she felt capable of doing at that moment.


    After the visit, Joanna escorted Norah back to her hospital room. “Joanna, thank you for today. You can go rest now. I still have some things to take care of,” Norah said as they arrived.


    On their way back, Norah received a message on her phone. Joanna waved dismissively. “It’s nothing. If you need anything else, just let me know. I’ll head out now.”


    After a final nce around the room to ensure everything was in order, Joanna left.


    She then reached the coffee shop where Susanna was already waiting.


    “Joanna, how is Norah feeling?”

    At the table with Susanna were Sean and Phillip. Joanna acknowledged them with a nod as she sat down.


    “Norah’s been quite unsettled since waking up. I’ve done what I could, but there’s only so much that can be done,” Joanna exined, taking a sip of her coffee. “I also brought up Sean, but Norah’s stance is very clear…”


    “What is her stance?” Susanna asked.


    Joanna nced at Sean, who was trying to maintainposure as he sipped his coffee, and replied with a tone of sympathy, “She’s determined to break up with Sean.”


    At this, Sean’s hand shook, causing him to set his coffee cup down with a tter. His expression turned crestfallen.


    Ever since Norah had awakened, Sean had felt her distance from him. Thesest few days had been agonizing for him.


    He longed to smooth things over with kind words, but Norah wouldn’t entertain his attempts. She asked him to leave every time he appeared, maintaining a polite but firm distance. Seeing Norah so fragile yet so distant left him feeling helpless.


    Norah was resolute in her decision to end things with Sean.
