Estelle offered a soft smile and nodded. Everything would depend on Norah herself.

The following Saturday.
The weather was miserable, with heavy rain pouring since dawn.
Henson dragged Norah into playing video games. She was terrible at it, but surprisingly hooked.
With Henson and Estelle carrying her through the matches, they managed to grind her rookie character up to level twenty by the end of the morning.
During lunch, the two were still debating gaming strategies.
Watching Norah and Henson bicker playfully, Janice couldn't help but feel a profound sense of warmth.
After lunch, Norah returned to her room to rest. A nagging feeling tugged at her, like she had forgotten to do something.
It wasn't until her eyes landed on the textbooks she had bought last week that it hit her—she had promised to tutor Gonzalez at the bookstore today.
Even though she hadn't made a rock-solid commitment, blowing him off on the very first day felt incredibly rude.
She glanced out the window at the torrential downpour. Hesitating for only a second, she pushed herself up from the wheelchair and went to change her clothes.
Janice and Catherine Lamont were chatting in the living room. Seeing Norah step off the elevator fully dressed to go out, they looked surprised. "Where are you going in this storm?"
Norah stammered slightly. "I just... remembered I promised to meet a friend today."
Catherine frowned at the rain lashing against the glass. "Can't you cancel?"
"We made these plans a while ago!" Norah insisted.
Janice grabbed an umbrella and walked her out. "Be back early."
"I will!"
The family driver was already waiting by the door. He took the umbrella from Janice and wheeled Norah to the car.

The readers' comments on the novel: Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)
I'm so glad that Gonzalez was able to get Luke, Oliver and all others who wanted to challenge himas the CEO straight. Interesting how Xavier made reference to a girlfriend concerning his gift to Norah, but never did this before her accident. I'm grateful for the updates. Thank you...
I had a lot of catching up to do..oh buoy, what twist and turns. Loved every bit of it, thank you for keep updating the novel. Hoping for more love along the way....
May we please have updates. Thank you...
Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
Well, well, well. I love how Gonzalez sent out the warning that he's the CEO and either they will acknowledge him as such or get their due diligence. I'm waiting to see how the Franco family will be walking on eggs and come into a new understanding of Gonzalez taking charge. Thank you so much for the five updates....
Adrian is hoping that he has a chance with Norah and will do everything and anything in his power to keep Norah and Xavier apart....
Thank you for the updates. I hope that Norah will remember Xavier and their relationship before the accident and that they will ever be to....
Thank you, thank you for the updates today, which is also my birthday. The saga continues. I really want Norah and Xavier to be together... but he has to want Norah....
May we have updates please. Thank you....
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
