Chapter 296

When Levi saw Norah, he greeted her with concern. “Madam, why are you here? I was just about to knock on your door.”

Norah chose not to mention her encounter with Jace. Instead, she replied calmly, “I got caught up in a long discussion with my editor-in-chief. It took longer than expected. Let’s go.”

Levi nodded, but as Norah approached, he caught a faint scent of blood.

“Madam, are you injured?” he asked, his tone tinged with worry.

“No,” Norah replied quickly. She realized the smell might have lingered from Jace. “It’s probably from Captain Edwards.”

Levi didn’t press further but noticed the string of beads now adorning her hand.
