Chapter 247: Calling home

"That was Nora", Joanne was alarmed by the screaming as she looked towards the bathroom door.

"I'll check on her", Alice said as she got up from the stool.

Her steps were full of haste as she walked to the door. She grabbed the door handle and twisted it open but it didn't budge. She knocked instead. "Nora? Are you alright in there?"

Silence. Alice looked at Joanne worriedly before knocking once more. "Nora?"

"I'm fine. I saw an insect.... Don't mind me. I'll be right out", she finally answered.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Alice was still worried even after getting the response.

"Yes. I'm fine!"

"Okay." Alice looked at Joanne and shrugged before walking back to the seat.

Was it really an insect? It sounded more serious. Meanwhile, Nora had found herself pressed against the wall and George's strong body pressed against hers. She was lost in his eyes as they stood with their faces barely a breath away from each other.
