Ch. 506: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 506

Chapter 506

Kevin held a special place in Norah’s heart. With his willingness to help, it was only a matter of time before the family reunited.

However, Pharaoh also reassured Kevin.

"Don’t worry, I truly want to make it up to Norah. For my grandson’s sake, I want him to survive."

In other words, even without Kevin’s involvement, Pharaoh was determined to take care of the child.

"I understand," Kevin replied slowly. The meaning behind their words was already clear.

Unfortunately, his bone marrow wasn’t a match for Cooper.

Meanwhile, on Norah’s Side…

Kevin said, "Norah is sharp. She can’t be forced into testing."

If she found out, it would be devastating. From her perspective, she had just found her child and barely had time to reunite before discovering his illness—one after another, the blows were relentless. No mother could bear that.

"I understand. I’ll arrange for others to be tested first. I have plenty of people—hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands—eventually, we’ll find a match."

Kevin nodded, staying by Cooper’s side. He took Cooper’s hand and kissed the back of it gently.

"Cooper, this is your Grandpa. There are misunderstandings between your mother and Grandpa that haven’t been resolved yet. You have to help them. Your Grandpa made mistakes in the past, but he’s changed. He’s trying to make things right. He’s taking care of you, so don’t tell your mother about your illness, okay?"

Kevin’s voice was patient, deliberate, and soothing. A soft smile played on his lips.

Cooper nodded.

Back with Norah…

Baimo remained by her side, ensuring she was well taken care of. Servants brought her fresh fruit, snacks, and signature dishes from Craggaville.

But suddenly, Baimo’s sharp eyes caught something unusual. He recognized the items and turned to the maid, Freyja.

"Aren’t these made by the old maid’s mother? Freyja, what’s the meaning of this?" He grabbed her wrist, pulling her closer.

Freyja quickly explained, "Last time was a misunderstanding. I saw the eldest lady return, and I wanted to prepare something for her—so she’d feel at home."

Baimo cut her off, his face darkening. "This is her home."

Norah had grown up here, but after being separated and living in Craggaville, she subconsciously identified as Chinese.

Freyja hesitated, struggling for words. She had clashed with Norah before but, upon learning Norah’s true identity, had been consumed with guilt. Now, she was desperate to redeem herself, yet her efforts were unwelcome.

Her voice trembled. "I’m sorry, Young Master Baimo. I didn’t mean any harm. I just wanted to make the eldest lady feel comfortable, nothing else. The past is behind us—I only wanted to make things right."

She gestured as she spoke, clearly flustered. Her wide, anxious eyes gave her the innocence of a child.

Baimo was unimpressed. "Enough nonsense. Get out."

Before he could say more, Norah interrupted.

"I’ll go for a walk."

She didn’t want to listen to their bickering. Besides, she noticed something—there was something between Baimo and Freyja.

Over the years, she had received news that Levi and Karina were getting married at the end of the year, and Steven was also settling down. As for Frank, she wasn’t sure. But one thing was certain: Jace and Baimo were still single. If Baimo and Freyja could work things out, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Baimo moved to stop her but hesitated when he saw her determined steps.

Freyja, still standing there, lowered her head like a guilty child. "Young Master Baimo, I really didn’t mean to upset anyone. I just wanted to help."

Baimo glared at her. "Didn’t you notice the eldest lady leaving because of you? If you don’t stop talking, I’ll have your tongue pulled out."

If not for her father’s loyalty to the Yi tribe, Freyja would have faced severe consequences for her past disrespect toward Norah.

Freyja gulped. "I believe you. Please don’t be angry. I’ll step aside. Just let me know if the eldest lady needs anything."

Before she could say more, Baimo had already turned away.

She watched him leave, sighing inwardly. No matter how difficult Baimo was, she had made up her mind—she was going to win him over.

Baimo Catches Up to Norah

"Where are you going? I’ll come with you."

He kept pace with her effortlessly.

Norah frowned. "I know my way around. I won’t wander into restricted areas. But the way you’re hovering—are you hiding something from me?"

Kevin had been called away nearly an hour ago, and he still hadn’t returned. Worry gnawed at her—was something wrong with Cooper?

Baimo chuckled. "You’re overthinking. Father only called Kevin because he’s been with the child the longest. He wanted to understand the situation. There’s nothing to hide from you now."

But Norah wasn’t convinced. Whatever was happening, she needed to see for herself.

Her pace quickened.

At the Lab

She arrived at the lab and saw Cooper lying on the operating table, receiving an IV drip. Kevin was beside him, holding his hand. The sight of her son’s pale face hit her like a dagger to the heart.

She rushed forward.

"Mom… Mom…"

Cooper’s weak voice made Norah’s eyes well up with tears.
