Chapter: 1076
After Norah shook off the lingering chill of her recent cold, she wasted no time heading back to her lab. Her focus was laser-sharp as she began working on the antidote for the poison she'd been researching.
Known for her brilliance in pharmacology, it took her only a few days to crack the complex formula.
Once she was satisfied with the antidote, she carefully packaged it and sent it off to the Boyd family.
With that urgent task completed, she made an appointment with that foreign patient's husband.
A striking couple entered the cafe as Norah sipped her coffee, immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the room.
The man was tall and handsome, his arm around his wife's waist.
"Excuse me, are you the Supernatural Doctor?" he asked, his voice carrying a hint of hope.
Norah had made a modest attempt to disguise herself, but she didn't dress like a man this time.
She nodded, motioning for them to join her at a secluded corner table.
"Hello, Doctor. I'm Rex, and this is my wife, Eloisa. I reached out to you via email."
"Yes, I remember. Did you bring the medical reports?"
Rex nodded and placed a stack of documents on the table.
“Yes, we had a comprehensive check-up at a private hospital in Germany before coming here."
He squeezed Eloisa's hand, his gaze fixed on Norah. “Please, take your time."
Norah flipped through the documents, her keen eyes scanning the latest reports.
Eloisa sat quietly, her pristine face a mask of quiet suffering. Her eyes were red-rimmed, hinting at tears shed just recently.
As Norah studied the papers, the couple conversed softly in a foreign language.
“Rex, if the Supernatural Doctor can't help me, let's go home. I want to spend my last months with you," Eloisa whispered, her voice trembling.
Her hope had been shattered too many times to count, leaving her with Little left to give.
The experts in German had delivered the final blow: her white blood cell count was too low for surgery. Two months, maybe less, was all the time she had left.
In the months since her diagnosis, Eloisa had seen the world through the eyes of someone with a ticking clock.
She discovered truths she had overlooked before, truths about her marriage to Rex. Once upon a time, they had Loved each other deeply.
But as years passed after the wedding, they had neglected their bond, leading to misunderstandings and heartache. Rex had even considered divorce.
But now, none of that mattered. For her remaining time, Eloisa chose to focus on love. She wanted to be with Rex, to forget work and worries, and to cherish every moment they had left.
