Chapter 93

Just as Nora parted her lips to speak, the door opened, and Harrison stepped inside. His brows furrowed in concern as he took in her pale complexion.

“Nora, are you okay?” he asked, his voice laced with genuine worry.

Nora blinked, slightly taken aback. She and Harrison weren’t particularly close. He was much younger than her, and their paths had never truly intertwined, but his concern felt sincere.

“I’m fine,” she murmured, offering a faint smile.

Harrison didn’t seem convinced.

“I just got back,” he explained, running a hand through his hair.

“I missed the food here, and then I heard you were sick. You should eat something. It’ll help you recover faster.”

Nora hesitated. She hadn’t realized how weak she felt until now. The fever from last night had drained her, leaving her lightheaded. Eating might actually be a good idea.

“Alright,” she agreed softly.

She pushed back the covers and stood, steadying herself before making her way downstairs. What she didn’t realize was that Arnold had followed her.

The dining table was already set when Nora arrived.

She sat down, and moments later, Arnold settled into the seat beside her.

He was close, but there was an invisible wall between them–one of distance, silence, and unresolved emotions.

From time to time, his phone vibrated. Nora didn’t mean to look, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Linda’s name flashing on the screen.

Her stomach clenched involuntarily.

Grandmother Lancelot, seated at the head of the table, noticed the tension between them. She sighed, setting down her spoon.
