Norah's words were sharp, but he knew deep down that Joanna had nothing to do with Madeline losing her child. He was just twisting the truth.
"Quit pulling Joanna into this. Watch what you say, or you'll face consequences you don't see coming," Norah reminded him. She held back the urge to scoff as she remembered the rumors that had spread about Joanna while she was away.

Unbeknownst to her, Derek had actually followed her advice and had his mom look/into kidney treatments when he got home.
Even if Norah were to learn about it, she would simply laugh it off. Since her divorce from Derek, she seldom thought about him or Madeline, E mostly because she was too preoccupied. She meant it when she told Jamison she was serious about needing to focus more on her goals.
