Chapter 280

The red-haired woman couldn’t comprehend what had just transpired. After working with Jace for years, she had never seen him act this way—so unpredictable, so unyielding.

Jace didn’t utter another word. He gently placed Norah in the backseat of his car and drove away without looking back.

Standing alone in the night, the red-haired woman watched his car disappear into the distance. She clenched her fists, her fiery hair blowing in the night breeze as she muttered to herself, Has he really lost all concern for his own survival?

Yet, despite her confusion and frustration, she couldn’t bear the thought of letting Jace meet his demise. After a moment of quiet resolve, she shook off her thoughts, tucked her emotions away, and slipped into her car, leaving the scene as if nothing had ever happened.

Jace brought Norah to his own apartment, unable to access her home without her passcode. He carefully placed her on the couch, checked for any injuries, and sat down nearby, waiting for her to wake up.

His brown eyes remained fixed on her face, studying her delicate features as if they held the answers to unspoken questions. The room was as quiet as his thoughts, filled only with the sterile scent of disinfectant.
