Chapter 517Norah is a mother. How could she possibly stand by and watch her child go into surgery?

She shook her head, her voice trembling. “I can’t go into the operating room. I just… Kevin, I’m so scared.”

“I get it,” Kevin said softly, his tone steady but empathetic. “I understand how you feel. But Norah, Cooper’s already been through so much. The odds of something going wrong are one in ten thousand—it’s not going to happen to him. And come on, don’t you trust your dad’s skills?”

“Yeah, Norah,” Jace chimed in, trying to lighten the mood. “And I’ll be there too, assisting Pharaoh. I’ve got Cooper’s back.”

Seeing Norah and Kevin embrace made Jace uneasy, but his concern was for Norah, not himself. He was determined to see Cooper’s surgery through.

Norah’s eyes welled up with tears.

From the moment Cooper was poisoned until now, Jace had never left her side.
