Chapter 606 Desperation and Denial
Nora looked thoughtful and murmured, “So that means your brother is home alone, and <b>Yumice </b>isnting back, right?”
Elianna nodded while sipping from her straw.
Nora smiled, looking genuinely pleased.
Elianna nced at her and suddenly blurted, “Nora, don’t tell me you’re thinking of stealing the <b>house</b>?
“Ah?” Nora was caught off guard. She gave a gentleugh and said, “Of course hot…..
Elianna didn’t press further.
That night, Nora invited her over to the Johnson residence to chat with her and Madam Mary.
Because of the whole thing with Yunice, Madam Mary had given Elianna the cold shoulder, which Elianna still held a grudge about. But Nora kept persuading her, so she ended up going.
She hadn’t expected Madam Mary to suddenly fall critically ill that night, wheezing uncontrobly in bed.
Nora was scared out of her mind. She shouted to Elianna, who was frozen in ce, “Elianna, call Wyatt right now! Tell him Grandma’s dying–he has toe!”
Elianna stood there stunned. Then, out of nowhere, she said, “Shouldn’t we be calling emergency services right now? My brother’s not a doctor–what’s the point of calling him?”
“Call him so he can contact Yunice! Didn’t Yunice treat my grandma before?<b>” </b>
Elianna said, “Nora, I think you’re just panicking. Yunice <b>is </b>overseas. Even if she flew back on a rocket, she wouldn’t make it in time.
I already called an ambnce. We just need to wait now.”
When Nora saw she wasn’t doing anything, she rushed over, grabbed Elianna’s phone, and called Wyatt herself. “Elianna, you don’t get it! Even if she’s hospitalized, connections are everything. One word from Wyatt and Grandma will get the best treatment.”
The call went through. Nora quickly shoved the phone back into Elianna’s hand, looking at her pleadingly.
Elianna hesitated for a moment before speaking into the phone. “I’m at the Johnson residence. Madam Mary’s having a medical emergency–it’s really serious. Can youe?”
There was a two–second silence before the voice on the line said, “Ms. Elianna, this is Jordan.”
Elianna blinked. “Jordan? Why do you have my brother’s phone?”
“Wyatt’s in a closed–door meeting,” Jordan replied. “I’m waiting outside for him.
I’ve already called for an ambnce. It’ll be there in about three minutes.”
Hearing that, Nora snatched the phone, her voice trembling. “Jordan, can you please tell Wyatt? Grandma

really might not make it…”
“Ms. Nora, please calm down,” Jordan said. “The nearest ambnce is three minutes away <b>from </b>the Johnson residence. But Huaxin Pharma is at least thirty minutes away. What good would it do for Wyatt toe?<b>” </b>
And with that, he hung up.
Elianna looked at the phone’s home screen, frowned, then turned to Nora. “Nora, don’t <b>get </b><b>mad</b><b>, </b><b>but </b><b>I </b>have to say, something.
My brother told me he and Yunice are married. He doesn’t want to get tangled up with other women. He hopes you’ll be more independent and not rely on him for everything.”
Nora felt like her already shattered heart had just been stabbed again.
Was she really being that obvious?
Elianna said sympathetically, “Nora, I really do feel bad for you. But you have to face reality. You and my brother just aren’t on the same path anymore. You missed your chance, but someone else wille along who treats you well.”
Nora clenched her fists. Hatred burned in her eyes. She thought Elianna was just mouthing off without understanding.
“Everyone knows I used to be his woman,” Nora said bitterly. “Who else is going to want me?”
Elianna frowned. “That’s not true. Yunice had a ten–year engagement with Paul, and she still married my brother, didn’t she? If she can do it, why can’t you?”
Just then, the ambnce arrived and took Mary away.
Elianna said, “Nora, I won’t go with you. You go take care of Madam Mary.”
She left the Johnson residence.
As she sat in the car, her heart felt heavy<i>. </i><i>Dad</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>were </i><i>right</i><i>. </i><i>The </i>way <i>they </i><i>treat </i><i>me </i><i>is </i><i>all </i><i>because </i>of <i>Wyatt</i>… No <i>one </i><i>really </i><i>wants </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>friends </i>with <i>me</i><i>… </i>
Madam Maryy in her hospital bed for two hours, but Wyatt never came.
She red coldly at Nora, who was still on the floor, then pped her hard across the face. “Useless! Didn’t you say this would bring Wyatt running? Now he’s not here—what now? You want to watch your little brother get a bullet in the head?!”
Nora’s cheek stung and swelled instantly. She forced herself to sit upright, her voice trembling. “Grandma, Wyatt said Morgan won’t be executed. At worst, it’ll be life imprisonment. We still have a chance…
Duncan stood to the side and sighed. “Nora, don’t me your grandma being harsh. You were too naive about all this. It’s not just about your brother anymore–it’s the Zach family too. You pushed <b>Maine </b>to lie for your brother, and now the Zach family’s been hounding Dad forpensation. He’s really <b>in </b>a tight spot…”
