Ch. 331: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 331

Chapter 331

Kevin muttered, "She doesn't need me anymore."

So, their relationship was really falling apart?

No wonder he came back drenched.

No matter how strong a relationship is, even a little distance can break it beyond repair.

Bianca felt a flicker of satisfaction. She gazed at Kevin, her eyes shining with certainty as she said, "Kevin, I'll always need you. I won't leave you. Believe me, I love you more than anyone. If Norah loved you enough, she wouldn't treat you like this."

With that, she nestled into his arms, a sense of joy radiating from her.

...

Meanwhile, Norah, now aware of her poisoning, went to the hospital for a checkup.

She wondered how long she had left—if she'd even live long enough to give birth.

But when the doctor assured her that everything looked fine, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

Could it be that the hospital just couldn't detect the poison?

Norah's mind was clouded with uncertainty. She faced so many questions at once.

What if she didn’t survive long enough to see her child born?

What if she gave birth and then died?

She had to ensure a future for her child, no matter what.

Truth be told, Norah was terrified of death. But she couldn't bear the thought of dying before her child had a chance to live.

As her hand gently rested on her belly, she found herself at a crossroads.

Should she terminate the pregnancy?

But if she did, the child would grow up with a life of hardship. Would it be fair to bring them into a world where she couldn’t be a mother to them?

The thought of it broke her heart.

Tears filled her eyes as she struggled with this overwhelming decision.

She had never been more conflicted.

Determined, she walked toward the operating room.

But as she stepped into the sterile, cold room, a shiver ran down her spine. The place felt devoid of warmth, of life.

Then, something stirred in her stomach.

It was at that exact moment that Norah realized what she was about to do.

How could she end the life of this little one growing inside her?

Her resolve faltered. Fear gripped her heart, and she rushed out of the operating room.

Sitting outside, catching her breath, she instinctively cradled her stomach.

"Baby, I’m sorry. I’m sorry," Norah whispered, tears streaming down her face. "I promise, I'll give you life. I’ll make sure you live a happy one, I swear."

It was the first time she'd felt her baby move, and a bittersweet joy filled her. But her happiness was mixed with uncertainty. Was the child even healthy? The poison she was carrying might affect them.

But she couldn't waste any more time dwelling on those worries. She had to keep going.

Norah was alone, and the weight of motherhood pressed heavily on her. She had to work hard to secure her child’s future.

As her pregnancy progressed, Norah's belly grew, and the filming of Glory continued.

Despite being an investor, she poured herself into the production. She spent countless hours watching the scenes and studying them.

One day, tragedy struck when Nellie sprained her foot on set and tore a ligament, forcing her to rest in the hospital for several days.

The crew couldn't afford to delay, and so, as a last resort, Norah stepped in for her.

"Okay, take a break!" Norah called out as filming paused.

Sasha had just wrapped up a heated scene with the male lead, Tanan. Tanan, a rising star, stood at 1.88 meters, with a handsome face, a charming smile, and noticeable dimples. His performance was drawing attention, especially in a script that highlighted sibling-like romance.

"Ms. White," Tanan greeted her, freshly out of his scene, his bare upper body showing off his well-toned physique.

He was destined to be a future heartthrob if the drama took off.

Tanan approached Norah, watching the footage on the monitor.

"Did I miss anything?" he asked, concerned about a scene he had filmed with Sasha in the pool.

"Not at all," Norah reassured him. "Your character is still figuring things out. Your performance is exactly what it needs to be."

Tanan nodded, grateful for her feedback.

Sasha, dressed in her swimsuit, wiped off the water and joined them, her attention also on the footage.

"No worries," she told Tanan. "You'll be fine."

"Thank you, Ms. Gibson," Tanan smiled.

"Let's all rest up. Night scenes start soon!" Norah said as she tried to lighten the mood.

Sasha, noticing how tirelessly Norah was working, expressed concern. "Norah, you're pregnant! Even if you're taking Nellie's place, you need to rest. You can always have Emani step in if you need help."

Norah smiled, despite the exhaustion. "I’m fine. I need to be on top of everything here. I can’t let things slip. And besides, I’m doing this for my child."

Sasha raised an eyebrow, a bit skeptical. "But the child’s father should be helping too. You can’t do it all on your own."

Norah shrugged it off, offering a wry smile. "Relying on others is never reliable. Better to rely on yourself."

Her words made Sasha pause. "What’s going on with you? Since that day when Steven’s family showed up, you’ve seemed different. You’re working harder than ever. Why all this pressure? The child’s father and the godmothers will all help. You don’t have to do everything."

In the past, several people had volunteered to be the child’s godmother.

"No one else can be trusted," Norah replied softly. "I can only count on myself."

Sasha’s suspicions deepened. "What’s really going on? Ever since that day, you’ve been a different person. It's like you're preparing for something... What’s really bothering you?"

Norah just gave a small laugh. "Maybe I’m just being cautious."

Sasha nodded but still seemed worried. "Please, get some rest. Focus on your face for tonight's shoot. You don’t want to look tired on camera."

Norah walked off on her own, her phone in hand. She had been trying to reach Steven for days but couldn’t get through. The Lord family had caused trouble again, and more than anyone, she wanted to know about Steven’s well-being.

Finally, after several attempts, her phone rang.

It was Steven.
