Chapter 485

Norah stepped outside for a moment, and when she returned, her words left Jack and Gwen stunned.

The couple felt a sinking premonition, like something heavy was lodged in their throats. Their eyes clouded with worry, they sensed something was wrong but didn’t know where to begin.

Finally, Norah broke the silence. “Mom, Dad, I’m not your biological daughter, but you’ve treated me like your own.” With that, she dropped to her knees.

Jack and Gwen moved to pull her up, but Norah was too quick. She kowtowed six times, her eyes red and brimming with emotion.

“I can never repay your kindness,” Norah said, her voice trembling. “But please know this—I’ll always see myself as your daughter. You’ll always be my parents. This is all the savings I have on my card.”

Norah had always sent them money regularly, but they’d saved every penny, never spending it. Instead, they’d showered her with gifts and cash, worried she might struggle.
