Chapter: 1107
“It's the nature of the job. I don't have much choice."
Whenever he had a stomachache, he used to rely on painkillers. Then, he would attend business dinners and drink.
Norah understood Jarrod's mindset well. She had encountered many people who prioritized work above all else.
Including herself.
"I have reviewed your report. The stomach issue is your most pressing concern. After this surgery, you need to start taking proper care of your stomach, or the pain will return.”
The level of pain experienced by those with stomachaches was truly understood only by individuals who had gone through it themselves.
The intensity could be so severe that it left them feeling weak all over and on the verge of blacking out.
Damon nudged Jarrod on the shoulder and said, "You should Listen Dr.
Wilson's advice."
Only then did Jarrod turn to face Norah, trying to appear nonchalant.
She wore a light sweater coat with her hair in a low ponytail, her natural beauty lending her a gentle and graceful aura. Jarrod found himself drawn to her regardless of what she was wearing or whether she had makeup on.
“Alright, I understand. Thank you, Dr. Wilson."
After Norah left the room, Damon sighed again.
“Jarrod, you really should find a girlfriend like Dr. Wilson. She's exactly the kind of daughter-in-law your mother and I would love."
Jarrod pondered. It wasn't just his parents who admired Norah; he did too. But being a person of integrity, he couldn't pursue her while she had a boyfriend. Otherwise, he would have courted her long ago.
He noticed that even Marlin, who also had feelings for Norah, didn't dare to make a move.
Jarrod could only dream of the life he might have with Norah if he ever won her heart.
Back at Concord Hospital.
With Korbin out of the way, Norah's work resumed its normal pace.
Two weeks went by quickly.
The program Norah had been working on was nearing completion with JW's help.
IW texted her, saying, “Oh my God! You're incredible! You've finished the whole program in just half a month!"
He had only contributed a few lines of code, but she had made them fully operational when he checked back.
Norah replied, "I haven't run any tests yet, so I'm not sure if the facial data collected from big data is reliable."
