Chapter: 113

Unfortunately, she couldn't uncover the identity behind the threat to Sean's company.

Still, in the digital world, information was crucial. Norah planned to warn Sean to stay vigilant at the next opportunity.

After erasing her digital traces, Norah shut down her computer, got up, and stretched, feeling almost relieved. All that was left was for Derek to show up on Friday to finalize their divorce, detaching her from the Carter family once and for all.

In the chat group for Silver Boulder Private Hospital.

Aikin typed, “Dr. Wilson has asked that we keep our relationship under wraps at the hospital. Dear colleagues, let's not bring up my name around Dr. Wilson, alright?"

“Oh my, henpecked? Can't talk about it at work, so you're saving it for home?"

“Dr. Rivera, aren't you being a bit too cautious? The hospital isn't against relationships at work. What's the worry?"

“Dr. Wilson is stunning, and she's with you? I'm so jealous!"

"Hey, Dr. Rivera, what's your secret with Dr. Wilson? Share some tips with me, will you? Let me learn from you."

Bright and early, the Silver Boulder Private Hospital's chat group was bustling. Following Aikin's post, the entire staff started buzzing with theories and jokes about his and Norah's supposed relationship, making the conversation quite the spectacle.

Since Norah was the new face at the hospital with a more reserved nature, no one had added her to the chat, allowing the discussions to flow without restraint.

Aikin typed, “Actually, there's nothing romantic between Dr. Wilson and me. Let's drop the assumptions, okay?"

"Really? So, if it's not romantic, what kind of relationship is it? The kind that shares a bed? Hahaha."

"I feel for myself, having to be surrounded by all this romance at work."

"Could you maybe not flaunt your relationship so much? I'm trying to work here, making me the most frustrated Upon arriving at the hospital today, Norah expected a calmer day but was met with sly looks and whispers from passing colleagues, clearly still abuzz with rumors about her. While Norah was sitting at her desk, Jolie leaned in and quietly asked, "Did you see Aikin yesterday? He's still bringing up your relationship in the group chat."

Jolie passed her phone, revealing the hospital's chat group on the screen. With more than 300 members, it was alive with chatter, likely fueled by some tantalizing gossip.

“I tried to clear the air for you, but it seems my efforts were in vain." Pointing at the screen, Jolie explained, "Just like before, they're not only making fun of Aikin and you but also spreading your pictures and rumors like wildfire."

Norah's beauty was undeniable, shining through even without a trace of makeup, making her the center of attention and the subject of endless gossip at the hospital.

The idea that someone as visually striking as Norah would choose someone like Aikin baffled many at the hospital, yet it hardly dampened their appetite for the juicy stories.

Aikin's messages were left intentionally vague, stirring curiosity among the group. Any attempt to clarify now would only fuel further speculation about their relationship, particularly if Norah preferred to keep their association private, prompting Aikin to step in and clear the air.

Norah clenched her jaw. Maybe she had given Aikin too little credit, but no matter, this was just the start. She realized it was time to reshape her reputation at the hospital. If not, she'd continue to attract unwelcome attention from those lacking insight, like Aikin.

This moment was ripe for setting a precedent, showing everyone she was not easy to mess with.

Jolie observed Norah's swift departure from the department without a backward glance and turned to Baylor, saying, "Why is Dr. Wilson in such a rush?"

Baylor, absorbed in his paperwork, responded, “Why concern yourself with the affairs of others? Just keep to your tasks."
