Estelle unwrapped the bandages, frowning, "How did a bunch of nobodies hurt you this bad? Did you go soft on them?"
Xavier chuckled on the bed, "Even a thoroughbred horse may stumble, don't forget our motto, it ain't an injury if you ain't dead!"
Estelle laid his clothes aside, "Stay prone, it'll heal faster!"
Though the doctor advised Xavier to stay prone, he found it uncomfortable.
He lay sideways, "After all this, I'm sure Norah can't stay at the store any longer. The Movie Center is a mess, and she shouldn’t stay here. She wouldn't listen to me, so you'll have to convince her."
Estelle nodded, "Norah wouldn't leave before, and now that you're hurt because of her, do you think she'll leave? Let's wait until you're healed, then I'll bring it up."
"Fair enough!"
The next day, Xavier was discharged. Estelle went to pick him up from the hospital, and Norah was there too.
Norah had been feeling guilty about Xavier's injury, so she took the opportunity to apologize to Estelle, "I'm sorry, this won't happen again!"
"Xavier doesn't blame you; you don't have to apologize to me!" Estelle patted her shoulder, "This little injury is nothing to him, don't overthink it!"
Norah nodded, "I'll take good care of Mr. Flemmings!"
"He’s got Zachary and Damian. Just take care of yourself!"
Norah shrugged, "I still feel like a burden!"
"Absolutely not!" Estelle laughed.
"Just kidding!" Norah whispered, "Estelle, you didn't tell my family about the kidnapping, did you?"
"No."
"Don't ever tell them, or I won't be able to work at the store anymore." Norah pleaded.
Estelle took the opportunity to say, "The Movie Center is indeed not very safe. After this incident, Xavier is also worried. Have you considered what I said before?"
Jonathan had been acting as normal during the gathering organized by Charlie a few days ago, coming and going with Estelle. There was nothing unusual.
What was he thinking?
Estelle was clearly up to something. Didn't he care at all? Was he waiting for Estelle's knife to be at his throat before he'd believe her?
The outside was bustling, pulling her out of her thoughts. She glanced outside through the half-open window and saw the staff from the barbecue place delivering food.
Her casual gaze landed on a girl in a barbecue restaurant uniform, busy unloading food from the truck.
Yvonne thought she was seeing things until the girl turned around and she confirmed it was Norah!
What was Norah doing here?
Yvonne wondered, and said to her assistant, "Go get Gwen, if she's with Estelle, tell her I need to go over the lines with her!"
"Right away!"

I would like for Norah to secretly have her memory restored and not tell anyone just to observe how everyone is trying to keep mess going....
Janice and Adrian don't want Norah to be with Xavier....
Thank you for the updates. You do keep us in suspense....
Curious as to how, what, when and where Norah will get her memory back of Xavier....
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...
