Chapter: 1106

Before heading to work, Norah made sure to pick up a fruit basket for her visit to Jarrod.

Jarrod was awake in the hospital room.

His father Damon said with concern, "You have just had surgery. Can't you take a break? Will the company go bankrupt without you?"

"Dad, this project is really important. I was supposed to handle it yesterday."

Jarrod, with an IV drip in his arm, was restricted in his movements and could only glare at Damon in frustration.

"Well, did I not arrive at the perfect moment?" Norah knocked and entered the room. “Mr. Newman, you seem to be recovering well. You look quite spirited this morning."

Her voice was gentle and carried a smile, but Jarrod sensed a touch of sarcasm.

“Well... I was informed by my assistant that you brought me here.

Thank you for that."

Before being admitted to the hospital, he had lain on his side on the bench, feeling dizzy from pain but still vividly remembering Norah's assistance.

"Otherwise, I might still be suffering.”

Damon eagerly took the fruit basket from Norah and said, "Dr. Wilson, thank you. You really didn't have to bring anything.”

"I'm here as his friend. It wouldn't be right to visit without bringing something."

Norah approached the bed with a gentle smile.

“I heard some arguing at the door just now."

Damon set aside the fruit basket, turned, and said in a complaining tone, "Dr. Wilson, could you please talk some sense into him? He woke up this morning, eager to get back to work. He's not even fully recovered, and all he thinks about is his project."

Jarrod turned his head, feeling embarrassed as he was scolded by his father in front of Norah.

Norah chuckled, recalling a similar situation at Silver Boulder Private Hospital where Kason had been scolded by his nephew in much the same way.

It wasn't long ago, yet it felt like ages had passed.

“Work is important, but taking care of your health is important too."

She noticed an examination report on the bedside table, picked it up, and started flipping through it.

"Your stomach issue seems quite serious. Haven't you been taking care of it?"

Damon continued, "He never eats on schedule. I have warned him repeatedly, yet he ignores me. Now, he's suffering from stomach problems. Jarrod, it's uncomfortable, isn't it?"

Jarrod still turned his face away, not looking at Norah.
