Chapter: 1080

Derek called out her name loudly.

Coen looked up and recognized the familiar face in the crowd.

"We have a doctor right here. She can examine you immediately."

Derek pointed to Norah, presenting her to everyone gathered.

"You can't just point at someone and declare they're a doctor, especially not a woman."

The delivery man glanced at Norah and mocked, "You say she's a doctor. Then I might as well claim I'ma scientist. Anyone can claim anything!

His comment earned nods of agreement from the crowd.

Norah glanced at Derek impatiently and asked, “What does this have to do with me?"

Derek grinned with a cheeky bravado. "Since we used to be a couple, you owe it to me to help out when I'm in trouble."

Coen stayed silent, tacitly approving Derek's behavior.

The bystanders finally grasped that Derek and Coen were husband and wife.

“Shame on you!" one onlooker exclaimed. “You hit the man and then have your ex-wife pretend to be a doctor to avoid paying for the examination. It's disgusting."

“Just call the police. That driver is way too arrogant," another added.

“Isn't that Dr. Wilson from Concord Hospital?" a curious voice in the crowd asked. "I remember her. I went to the emergency department once when I was sick. Dr. Wilson treated me. She's an excellent doctor."

"Yes, I've been treated by her too. She's very beautiful," another agreed.

As more people recognized Norah, whispers about her identity spread among the onlookers.

Derek, undeterred, turned to Norah with a grin. “Norah, sweetie, can you do me a favor?"

He knew that if Norah could verify the man wasn't injured, he could save fifty thousand dollars. His attitude turned overly pleasant.

Upon hearing the word "sweetie", Norah's revulsion intensified.

She said with a frown, “Mr. Carter, we aren't even friends. I dare you to stop calling me ‘sweetie'."

Her words were sharp, filled with contempt.

Norah rarely felt such intense dislike for someone, but Derek had earned it.

Once, she had admired him, seeing only his strengths.

Now, she saw him as nothing more than a contemptible jerk.
