Chapter: 1064

Norah turned to leave after giving her warning, leaving the Boyds confused.

His expression turning serious, Hans said, "I'll head back first. You guys stay here and take care of Mom."

Marlin followed suit, saying, "I think taking the doctor's advice won't hurt. I'll go with you.

Yolande, on the other hand, had a worried look on her face. She turned to her father and asked, “Dad, didn't you personally hire Adela? She's been Mom's caregiver for many years. Should we really suspect her like the doctor suggests?"

It took a moment before Manley replied, “Let's just wait for the results of Hans and Marlin's investigations."

When Supernatural Doctor suggested they look into Adela's involvement in the poisoning of Nyla, Manley froze. He had entrusted Adela with everything in his manor, including the task of looking after Nyla.

In the years she had been serving them, Adela had proven her trustworthiness. Thus, it had never crossed Manley's minds that she might do something so despicable.

"This is something I can't decide. The investigation will lead us to the truth," Manley added.

Whatever the results were, he vowed to give justice its due. He wouldn't hesitate to put Adela behind bars if she was proven guilty, even if she had been a good employee.

Changing into her work clothes, Norah quietly slipped out of the hospital's side door to avoid interacting with the hospital president.

This was the part of her success that she dreaded: having to deal with those who wanted to meet and network with her because of her achievement.

Fortunately, something good came out of the situation. Nyla's operation inspired her to write a thesis about her case.

Once she finished examining her last patient's condition, she might start researching on Nyla's case and working on both theses simultaneously.

However, before the foreign patient could arrive, Norah caught a cold, which quickly escalated into a high fever.

She was sweating all over the night before, and upon waking up the next morning, her body felt like it had been run over by a heavy truck.

Touching her forehead, she winced. Her fever hadn't come down even a little.

Having no choice, she dialed Toby's number to call in sick to work after just two days of reporting for duty in the cardiac surgery department Toby accepted her request and advised her to take as much rest as she needed.

After hanging up the phone, Norah heard light footsteps outside her bedroom.

Her eyes narrowed. Was it another murder attempt? This time, in broad daylight? Weren't these hired guns afraid of being caught?

Norah lay still, careful not to make a sound. She listened to the noises and figured two men were inside her hotel suite. They seemed to be looking around for her.

With what little strength she had, Norah climbed out of bed quietly.

What bad timing to have killers in the suite while she was sick!

Despite her efforts not to make a noise, the bed creaked when she got up, alerting the killers of her presence.

The killers looked at each other, surprised and confused. They knew Norah's schedule and assumed she had already gone to work at this time. But why was there a noise inside her room just now? Perhaps she hadn't left the hotel yet?
