TimeNovelChapter 314:
When Norah signed the divorce agreement, Derek was unexpectedly hit with a wave of sadness. Though he
couldn't fully explain the source of the feeling, he quickly pushed it to the back of his mind, as he had done so
many times before.
For the past two years, Norah had taken care of all Derek’s needs on a daily basis. He had grown accustomed to
her presence, and her sudden departure left him feeling empty and uncertain.
When Derek decided to divorce Norah, he had already planned the compensation he would give her to make up
for the years she had dedicated to him. However, after the agreement was signed, Derek noticed something
surprising. Norah was doing just fine. She was surrounded by several influential figures, like Bryson from the
Andrews family, Spencer from the Morris family, Kason and Kaiden from the Hayes family, and even Sean from
the Scott family.
Moreover, Madeline repeatedly expressed her concerns about their future, claiming that if Derek gave that large
sum of money to Norah, they wouldn't be able to build their dream home.

As a result of the financial constraints they would face, Derek decided to hold onto the money. He didn’t want to
see Norah use his funds to attract other men. He wasn’t that generous.
Now, Norah had transformed from someone he once saw as a pushover into a formidable figure.
Through threats, Norah had managed to claim two-thirds of the Carter family’s assets, leaving Derek in a
shattered state.
Derek stared at Madeline's face as she slept soundly beside him. He smiled softly, caressing her cheek with his
fingers. At least Madeline was still by his side, he thought. Even when things got tough, Madeline never
considered leaving him. She stood firm, her love for him unwavering, and eventually, she becpregnant.
The aspirations he had held in his youth were on the brink of materializing, yet there was a nagging sense of
disbelief within him. At times, Derek would reminisce about the days when Norah cared for him, always obedient
to his commands and never daring to resist. It made him believe that Norah still loved him and that he also had
slingering feelings for her.
Losing Norah had only intensified his longing for her. He missed her now more than he did when they were still
together.
The second Derek realized where his thoughts were drifting, he slapped his face, trying to shake himself free
from them. Norah was now Sean’s woman! That thought quickly brought on a rush of guilt. How could he be
missing Norah on the day he would officially register his marriage to Madeline? He must be going crazy.
“Madeline, my love, please wake up,” Derek murmured as he gently pinched her nose. She stirred awake,
blinking her eyes at him.
A wave of tenderness swept through him, and in that moment, he realized that his heart truly belonged to
Madeline.
At the base of the Breaker, Oscar couldn’t help but think that things hadn't been going their way recently. Ever
since he captured Norah, ominous events had unfolded around the Breaker. First, he and Riss were threatened by
the Sacredice, followed by the destruction of their warehouse, which resulted in heavy losses.
As if that wasn’t enough, they lost their weapons and many of their men during the arms trade. On top of all this,
the website designed for the transaction went down, leaving Oscar feeling utterly exhausted.
“Sir, I've got the information,” a man announced gleefully as he rushed in, breathless, waving a file triumphantly
in the air.

Oscar swiftly took the file and began to sift through its contents. In his haste, two photos fell out. One showed a
dazzling woman waiting for a car at the gate of a private hospital, while the other featured a blonde-haired
beauty resting on a bed in a ward.
Oscar glanced through the papers quickly, then picked up the photo of the blonde-haired woman, inspecting it
carefully.
“Yes, it's her,” he said after a few seconds.
Oscar clutched the photo tightly, his gaze never leaving the image of the blonde-haired woman lying in the bed.
“She’s been hiding fromfor so long, but I still found her.”
His voice turned dark and icy. “Get a few of our men. We're going to this hospital.”
Norah didn’t visit the lab today. Instead, she spent the morning sorting the items she planned to take back with
her. Later, she intended to go out and inspect the medicinal materials she had purchased on the black market.
Alice had started taking the tonic pills that Norah had crafted, and her condition was slowly improving. Norah
had stayed in Otland for an extended period, deeply concerned for Alice’s health. Now that Alice was making
progress, Norah was eager to bring her back home, where she could continue to care for her.
