Chapter: 100

Despite her confident approach with Kason, Norah had only once harbored feelings for one man, Derek. But perhaps it wasn't so much feelings as an inability to let go of her stubborn attachment to him.

Sean sought to divert the conversation. “How's the new job treating you? Is everything going smoothly?"

Norah answered, "It's going well."

No surgeries from the Cardiac Surgery Department had been placed in Norah's hands by Jamison yet. But Norah had assisted Gil in numerous surgeries in the Neurosurgery Department.

Not one for unnecessary chatter, Norah, recalling the awkwardness of their earlier interaction, felt her cheeks warm and chose to remain silent.

As she fell into Sean's embrace moments earlier, Norah could distinctly feel his masculinity. His chest muscles were firm and tense. Norah was convinced he had training, given how firmly he held her.

The rest of the ride passed in silence.

Once home, Norah prepared a bath, scattering rose petals in the water, and stepped in.

Relishing the warmth of the water, she rested against the bathtub, contemplating her recent decisions.

She planned to expedite Devonte's treatment to conclude her visits to the Hayes family within a month. After that, she would leave matters in fate's hands.

As for Susanna, she would like to switch her treatment schedule from every other week to once a week. Once Susanna was nearing recovery, she'd undergo chemotherapy and a transplant at the hospital, wrapping up her treatment. It would take at most a month and a half.

Norah ran her fingers over the rose petals floating on the water and breathed in the scent of roses.

As the check-ups continued, she noticed Sean's visits becoming less frequent. She hoped tonight's incident wouldn't repeat itself.

As the bathroom steamed up, Norah reflected on Kathy's behavior at the Glamour Club, thinking she could use more responsibilities to occupy her time.

The next day, at the Scott family residence, ten in the morning.

Susanna had been waiting for some time when Norah arrived with Phillip.

Upon spotting Norah, Susanna's eyes sparkled with joy. She stood up and reached out to hold Norah's hand. “Supernatural Doctor, you're finally here! I've been looking forward to seeing you!"

“Hello, Susanna," Norah responded, her tone neutral. She noticed Susanna's enthusiasm upon seeing her. Norah didn't act to play cool.

It was just her usual demeanor toward others.

Unfazed by Norah's seemingly indifferent reaction, Susanna excitedly guided Norah to the sofa. "Are we proceeding with the usual treatment today? I'm all set!"

Dressed in a soft pink gown with a single braid cascading down her shoulder, Susanna looked pure and lovely.

Norah, contrastingly, was dressed in all black, complete with a mask and hat.

Norah had a fondness for Susanna, yet to preserve the mysterious aura of the Supernatural Doctor, she decided to keep her conversation minimal today. Once the treatment was done, she planned to depart without staying for dinner.

Susanna, trying and failing to engage Norah, appeared disheartened.
