Chapter 540 He Saw It
Mortimer raised his hand, gently touched Nora's face, and then withdrew his hand.
"Alright, I've finished hitting you," he said with a light laugh.
Nora opened her eyes and said displeasedly, "That doesn't count as hitting."
He had barely touched her face, it was lighter than a tickle.
Mortimer laughed, "How could I dare to really hit you? If Magnus and Soren found out, they'd hate me to death."
The main reason was that he couldn't bear to hit her.
No matter how she treated him, he couldn't bear to hit her.
Nora sighed, "Alright then, I'll treat you to a meal later."
Mortimer nodded with a smile.
This scene was coincidentally seen by Isaac, who was accompanying Amara to the hospital.
His face darkened, and he wanted to rush over immediately to teach Mortimer a lesson.
But Amara held him back, "Isaac, our appointment with the specialist has a time limit, we need to hurry."
Nora and Mortimer heard the sound and turned to look.
Nora saw Amara holding Isaac's arm, their intimate appearance made her face instantly darken. A surge of anger swirled in her heart, and she subconsciously clenched her fists.
Soren had just encountered danger, yet Isaac was accompanying Amara for a prenatal checkup.
She would never tell Isaac that Soren was his daughter in this lifetime!
He didn't deserve it!
He didn't deserve to be Soren's father, nor did he deserve to be called "Daddy" by Soren!
Nora lost her rationality a bit, completely disregarding the fact that she hadn't told Isaac that Soren was his daughter, and directed her anger at him.
Even though Soren had escaped danger, the thought that he might have been with Amara, waiting for the birth of the child in her womb while Soren was in peril, made it impossible for her to control her emotions, and her anger surged.
She completely forgot that she hadn't informed Isaac about Soren's danger.
Isaac didn't even know that Soren had been in danger.
"Nora, let's go," Mortimer held Nora's hand and said softly.
He glanced at Isaac with a smile, then held Nora's hand and walked in the opposite direction.
Nora, perhaps too preoccupied, didn't notice Mortimer holding her hand and let him lead her away.
Isaac wanted to follow.
"Isaac!" Amara grabbed him tightly and said urgently, "Let's go, don't go up there and make a fool of yourself."
"Can't you see? They're already together. Don't disturb them, especially since you're going to marry me."
Isaac suddenly calmed down.
He was going to marry Amara, so he had no right to interfere if Nora was with someone else.
Isaac took a deep breath, forcibly withdrew his gaze, and accompanied Amara for the prenatal checkup.
After walking a distance, Nora came to her senses and realized Mortimer was holding her hand.
She quickly pulled her hand out of his grasp.
Mortimer looked at his now empty hand, feeling a bit lost.
He clenched his hand, as if trying to keep the residual warmth in his palm a little longer.
"Have you found out who kidnapped Soren?" Nora asked.
Mortimer shook his head, "I've already sent people to investigate, but so far, there's no news."
"But don't worry, I will do my best to find out the mastermind."
Nora nodded, "Thank you."
Mortimer said seriously, "Nora, someone is targeting you, Magnus, and Soren. It's very dangerous for you to live alone. Why don't you move in with me? It's safe there, with bodyguards protecting you all day."
"Soren can also be escorted to and from school to prevent another incident like this."
"If it happens again, we can't guarantee Soren's safety."
Nora was moved but also hesitant.
Mortimer was right, there was danger lurking around them, and the mastermind might target the children again.
Living alone was indeed dangerous.
Mortimer said earnestly, "Nora, Magnus and Soren's safety is the most important thing right now. Are you willing to risk their safety just to avoid suspicion?"
Thinking of Magnus and Soren, Nora softened.
She nodded, "Alright, then we'll trouble you."
Mortimer smiled, "It's no trouble. I'm grateful you trust me."
"I've been separated from Magnus and Soren for so long, I miss them too. I wish I could live with them every day."
Nora said nothing more.
She returned to Soren's hospital room and quietly watched over her.
After a while, Soren woke up. "Mommy."
Seeing Nora, Soren couldn't help but cry.
Nora immediately held her in her arms, gently patting her back, "Don't cry, baby. I'm here, I'll always be with you."
"I thought I'd never see you again, Mommy," Soren cried loudly and sadly.
Nora's heart was breaking, her voice choked with emotion, "It's okay, it's okay. Nothing will happen again. I'm here, I won't let you be in danger again."
"Okay," Soren buried her head in Nora's chest, her muffled voice choked with sobs.
Even though she was trembling with fear, she was very obedient, silently shedding tears without screaming.
Seeing how sensible she was, Nora felt even more heartbroken.
Nora held and comforted Soren for a long time.
After Soren completely calmed down, she carried her out of the hospital room and completed the discharge procedures.
Mortimer stayed with them the whole time.
"Let's take Soren to my place first, then I'll accompany you to pack your things. Let's not make Soren run around," Mortimer suggested.
Nora nodded, agreeing with his proposal.
"By the way, where's Magnus?" Nora suddenly asked.
Since waking up, she had been thinking about Soren and forgot to ask about Magnus.
She checked the time, it had been five or six hours.
Mortimer said, "I had someone take him to my place first. He's safe, we'll see him when we get back."
Nora wasn't worried about Magnus's safety, but about his mental health.
But she would see him soon, so there was no need to worry too much.
They waited at the hospital entrance for Mortimer's men to bring the car around.
At that moment, Isaac and Amara also came out of the hospital.
Seeing Nora and Mortimer, Isaac's already bad expression worsened.
But he quickly noticed Soren in Nora's arms, his heart tightening.
Nora and Mortimer seemed fine, so they weren't there for themselves.
Soren looked unwell, her eyes red from crying, still with tears.
Was Soren sick?
Isaac strode over, Amara tried to stop him but couldn't.
"What's wrong with Soren?"
