The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 464

Penelope's brow furrowed at the news.

"I talked to him for a long time. He seemed to have calmed down, and I thought he was listening to me, but when I turned around to get him a glass of water, he bolted from my trailer."

"He just left?"

"About ten minutes ago."

"Then he can't have gone far."

Penelope asked the film crew to help search, while she and Natalie headed down a mountain path.

"Norton came specifically to see me," Natalie explained as they walked. "He said he was too immature before and caused me a lot of trouble, and he apologized. I told him everyone was looking for him, and he said he'd be home soon. He also said he'd found a way to make his mom like him."

Penelope took a deep breath. Even after how Mrs. Stapleton had treated him, he still loved his mother and wanted to please her.

"That foolish boy!"

"He seemed really happy. I don't think you need to worry too much."

"We still need to find him, just to make sure he doesn't do anything reckless."

The more Penelope thought about it, the more worried she became, and she quickened her pace.

"Hey, is that him?" Natalie pointed ahead.

Penelope saw him too, but he was too far away to see clearly. She started running, and as she got closer, she could confirm it was Norton.

She quieted her footsteps, hoping to sneak up from behind and grab him before he noticed.

After all, the boy was like a rabbit; you couldn't expect him to just sit still and wait to be caught.

She got closer and closer. Just as she was about to make a dash for him, Norton spotted her.

"Penelope?"

He looked startled for a second, then turned and bolted.

Penelope frowned. Yes, where had he been staying all this time? He had no place to live and wasn't using the family's money. So where was he sleeping, and what was he eating?

From the looks of him just now, he didn't seem to have been starving. In fact, he looked like he'd even put on some weight.

After thanking the crew for their help, Penelope had no choice but to head back.

Carson was in the ICU and had yet to regain consciousness.

Perhaps sensing something, Mrs. Stapleton had become more lucid and was demanding to see Carson.

Theodore had to take her to the ICU waiting area, where she could see him through the glass window.

"Carson, I'm so sorry. Especially after I cheated and had that bastard child, all I felt when I faced you was guilt. I used Lorraine's death to numb myself and make you responsible for it. I'm such a terrible person."

"Carson, you must have been so disappointed in me for so long."

Just then, Carson's eyes fluttered open. He turned his head and looked toward them.
