Ch. 390: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 390

Chapter 390

Norah was confused. "Why?"

Karina thought for a moment before coming up with a reason. "He's busy in the lab all day, and it's not convenient for him to answer calls. Don't disturb him. If he's free, he'll come see you. That way, he can stay focused on his research."

Norah considered her words and found them reasonable.

She didn't want to be a distraction for Jace. He wasn't an ordinary person—his work was important.

"Alright, we'll talk when he's done," Norah said, not overthinking it.

Karina watched her, noting the smile on her face, but something about her expression seemed off. She worried that Norah might be reading too much into things, but she hesitated to say anything.

Still, she spoke sincerely. "Captain Edwards is a good man. For your sake, he gave me a new identity. I can start over because of you. I'm truly grateful—to both you and Captain Edwards. I won’t let you down."

She sounded almost like she was making a vow.

Norah responded warmly, "You don’t have to be so formal. We’re sisters. You protected me before, and now it’s my turn to protect you. Yes, Kevin helped, but as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone mistreat you."

Karina nodded and leaned against Norah’s shoulder. "This feels so good. I’m really happy right now."

Norah smiled fondly and hugged her. "That doesn’t mean I won’t still need to learn self-defense from you."

"Then focus on your recovery first. Once you're ready, I’ll teach you everything I know," Karina promised generously.

Norah simply smiled, content with her current life. She didn’t need anything extravagant. A simple, peaceful life was enough.

After Karina left, Norah spent time alone. During this period, Sasha and others came by to see her. There was always someone visiting, so she was never truly bored.

Still, she felt a strange emptiness. Maybe she was just too eager to hold her baby. The anticipation made her restless.

Because she was recovering, she couldn't attend the award ceremony. She had to watch it via livestream instead.

The drama had been a massive hit from its premiere to its finale, breaking viewership records. It was a sensation.

Not only did Sasha gain immense popularity, but the rising actor, Tanan, also became a star. People were saying that any actor who worked with Sasha was destined for success. As a result, many companies were eager to sign promising new talents to work alongside her.

Now, Sasha never had to worry about finding roles. This was exactly what Norah had hoped for—Sasha had finally made it.

At the award ceremony, they video-called Norah from the venue.

Nellie, overwhelmed with emotion, was in tears. "I wouldn’t be here without your support," she said, voice thick with gratitude.

Their journey had been filled with struggles, but this moment made it all worth it.

As expected, Glory won Best Director and Best Actress. Watching the livestream, Norah saw Nellie step onto the stage, met with thunderous applause.

Nellie, wearing a dress for the first time, looked slightly uncomfortable in heels but held herself with dignity. It was a defining moment in her career.

Norah could see the nervousness in her friend’s expression. After taking a deep breath, Nellie accepted the trophy and began her speech. "I'm incredibly happy today. I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long. From being an unknown director to standing here now..."

She recounted her journey, her words measured and thoughtful. But then, she choked up.

"I wouldn’t be here without one person." Tears streamed down Nellie’s face. "She couldn’t attend today, but this honor belongs to her, too. That person is Norah. She didn’t just save me—she saved our entire production. Without her, I wouldn’t be standing here. Remember this: she is also the director of Glory—Norah!"

The audience erupted in applause.

Norah, watching from home, felt her eyes well up. She knew the struggles Nellie had faced and couldn’t help but get emotional.

After Nellie’s speech, Sasha took the stage. More confident than ever, she spoke with conviction. "Ten years ago, I was just a small-time actress. I clawed my way to the top, only to fall. But now, I’ve risen again!"

Her words were powerful, inspiring yet another round of applause.

Then Nellie turned to the camera and smiled. "Like our director, there's someone else I need to thank. She couldn’t be here today, but she made this possible—Norah. When I was at my lowest, she pulled me up. She gave me the chance to stand on this stage and accept this award. I will never forget her kindness. I want to thank her, and to all my fans out there—please remember this name: Norah!"

Norah was caught between laughter and tears.

They hadn’t told her beforehand. She had always seen herself as just an ordinary person, but now she was being thrust into the spotlight.

With Sasha’s immense popularity, her words carried weight. As expected, Norah’s name was trending online that night.

People flooded the comments section:

[Amazing director! Thank you for giving us such a fantastic show!]

[Sasha went through so much—she was almost blacklisted! Director Norah saved her. Not only did she direct, but she also invested in the project, even going bankrupt to make it happen. Without Norah, there would be no Sasha!]

[Incredible! Thank you, Director Norah!]

Praise poured in from everywhere.

Reading their comments, Norah didn’t feel like she had done anything extraordinary. Yet, somehow, she had become their director.

All because of a simple mistake that made her the nominal director.
