Chapter 146:

After listening to the whole story, Joanna was slightly shocked. “Wait, so the guy who saved you is Kason? That’s such a crazy coincidence!”

Joanna then recalled Norah’s expression when Kason’s name was first mentioned at the Glamour Club. “You recognized Kason from back in the Glamour Club days? And he had no idea who you were?” Joanna probed.

“Yes,” Norah confirmed, nodding. “It was only when I visited his ward moments earlier that he recalled me.”

“So, Norah, do you feel anything special for Kason?”

“Well, a long time ago, I was really thankful to him and looked up to him. But after he took me to the welfare house and I got adopted, those feelings just faded away.” Norah’s gaze dropped, her face showing no emotion.

Joanna had never heard about Norah’s past until then. Ever since meeting Norah, Joanna had been drawn to her distinctively charming personality and had quickly become a big fan.

Norah had hinted at a tough past, which was something Joanna hadn’t anticipated. Norah had grown up in a conflict-ridden border area, where violence was all too common.

Joanna clenched her fist, considering her next words. She had always been curious about Norah’s past, but Norah had consistently dodged the subject. This was the first time Norah had opened up about it.

Norah’s recounting carried no trace of sadness or anger. She treated it as just another story.
