Chapter 573 Waiting In Anxiety

With unease gnawing at her, Susanna fired off messages to Joanna and Alice.

Kayla, observing her closely, said with concern, "Susanna, take a break. Put your phone down for a bit. Why is your forehead drenched in sweat? Are you feeling alright?"

"I'm fine." Susanna mustered a faint smile, keeping her worries about Norah under wraps.

Soon enough, Susanna's group chat buzzed with their responses, but no one could get through to Norah.

Joanna typed, "I think there's truth to what she said. I'm so worried. I need to go to Silverdale.

Alice replied, "I'm coming with you. I'm worried too."

Joanna said, "No, I'll go alone to figure out what's going on. You two wait for my update."

Alice quickly typed, Can I come with you? Please!"

Susanna, typing slowly with one hand, found herself lagging behind. As she punched out two words, messages flooded in, adding to her fluster.

"My brother has already gone to Silverdale."

Joanna and Alice fell into a telling silence.

After a brief pause, Joanna popped back in.

She said, "I contacted Sean. We can use his plane. Alice, I'm coming to pick you up now!"

Joanna resolved to embark on the journey to Silverdale, her decision set in stone like a compass pointing north.

The ambulance in the video was a wreck. If Norah was truly in it...

Tears brimmed in Susanna's eyes, and she choked back a sob, alarming Kayla.

"Sweetie, if you're not feeling well, you must tell me. Don't frighten me like this..."

It was the dead of night when Sean's plane finally reached Silverdale.

Sean was flanked by two bodyguards and an assistant filling Phillip's role.

During the flight, Sean had shared all the information with Joanna and Alice. Their tears flowed, each drop fueled by fear for Norah's fate.

"Head straight to the hospital, Sean commanded firmly. Their ride awaited them at the entrance. They quickly piled into the car.

Come what may, their ultimate destination remained Concord Hospital.

The atmosphere in the car was thick with tension, a silence that echoed their dread.

The hospital was ablaze with lights, the emergency department buzzing with activity.

Joanna wheeled herself to the hospital's reference desk. "Excuse me. I heard the medical staff of your hospital had an accident. Are they alright?"

The nurse shook her head. "They're still in the emergency room. No one has come out yet."

"Is there a female doctor named Norah Wilson among them?"

"I'm not sure, but there are two female doctors among the four."

"Thank you."

Joanna's heart plummeted like a stone sinking in quicksand. Hurriedly, she scurried back to Sean and Alice, eager to spill the unsettling beans she'd just harvested.

"Norah... Norah must be one of them."

Having uttered those words, Joanna found herself unable to stem the flood of tears that cascaded down her cheeks.

Alice clenched her fists, saying, "I believe Norah will be fine. God will bless her."

With closed eyes, she whispered silent pleas to the heavens, while Joanna struggled to stifle her sobs, as if attempting to hush a tempest within.

Sean's heart ached with worry.

According to Silverdale gossip, Norah had taken a seat at the ambulance's rear upon boarding. Should

there have been a collision, the consensus was that her injuries might be spared from severity's grip.

He paced anxiously, his dignified presence contrasting sharply with the chaotic emergency department. Nurses and patients' families passed by, stealing curious glances at him.

Clad in a crisp white shirt paired with sleek black trousers, Sean's broad shoulders and strong waist commanded attention. His strikingly long legs, combined with his handsome visage, made him a magnetic focal point in the room.

The trio kept their eyes glued to the operating room door. After an agonizing wait, the light over the room finally dimmed.
