Chapter 1704: Chapter 1804

Seeing the fearful look on Nora’s face deepened my disdain for Andrew.

After a moment’s thought, I grasped Nora’s hand and led her towards him.

Both Andrew and Nora froze for an instant.

Andrew recovered first, his voice shaking with surprise as he looked at me.

“Debra, you’re not angry with me?”

I met his gaze with a frosty silence before replying sharply, “Nora doesn’t need to look after me.

Let her go home to care for Abby.

”

Andrew’s brow creased slightly, perhaps realizing he had misjudged the situation, and he chose to remain quiet.

Nora, even more frightened, quickly sought refuge behind me.

With a stern expression, I added, “Stop making Nora’s life difficult.

I’m going to find a place and move out soon.

Nora and Abby will come with me.

You won’t have to deal with us any longer.

”

Upon hearing my decision to leave, Andrew’s anxiety escalated.

He rushed to clarify, “I didn’t mean it like that.

The manor is Abby’s home.

Please, don’t make any rash decisions.

Abby is still so young, and it’s unsafe for her in those dangerous places outside.

”

At that moment, Nora’s complexion turned ashen, a look of dread flashing across her face.

She grabbed my sleeve and whispered, “Mr.

Pierce has a point.

Don’t act on impulse.

The witch clan’s appearance of peace is deceiving.

It’s not safe to take Abby out hastily.

”

Her words made me pause and reconsider.

I recalled my arrival at the witch clan’s territory.

It was far from secure.

Yet, staying at Andrew’s manor meant inevitable interactions with him.

Sensing my inner turmoil, Andrew quickly reassured me, “Don’t worry.

We’re just friends, and

I’ll respect that boundary.

You and Abby can stay here without concern.

We’ll sort everything else out later, okay?”

Still uncertain, I was about to respond when Nora interjected again, emphasizing Abby’s vulnerability.

“Think about Abby’s safety.

She’s so young, and we can’t risk anything happening to her.

”

Her plea dispelled my doubts.

I gently squeezed Nora’s hand in reassurance and promised, “I won’t take Abby away until I’m certain we’re completely safe.

”

Nora sighed in relief.

Andrew also relaxed, adding, “Given your concerns for Abby, I’ll arrange for Nora to stay and look after her.

”

With a grateful smile, Nora nodded and returned to Abby’s side cheerfully.

Once Nora had left, my focus shifted entirely to ensuring Caleb’s safety.

As I turned around, I saw Caleb had already made his way outside.

Perched in a wheelchair, he gave me a deep, meaningful glance.

I rushed over to him, seizing his hand in surprise, and asked, “How are you holding up?”

Caleb remained silent.

His doctor, standing beside him, filled in the details for me.

“He’s lost quite a bit of blood, but thankfully, there are no severe injuries.

It’s nothing serious.

A few days under observation and he should be ready to leave the hospital.
