Some answers aren't meant to be rushed. Today, Noah stood closer than ever to the truth... yet chose patience over curiosity. Sometimes, the bravest decision isn't opening the next page—it's waiting until your heart is ready to read it. Thank you for walking this journey with Noah, Lily, and the entire Westwood family. Every chapter brings them one step closer, and your support means more than you know. The story isn't slowing down... it's preparing for something even bigger. See you in Chapter 137. 💙📖
