Chapter: 1398

Norah's first task was to locate Gil, and she found herself smiling at the memory of seeking him out here after her divorce. How much time had passed since then?

Unfortunately, Gil was away at a conference and hadn't yet returned.

So, Norah headed to the cardiac surgery department, where she had spent many years of her career.

Inside the department office, Jolie and Baylor were both absorbed in their paperwork.

Norah glimpsed them through the window as she passed and quickly looked away, having little regard for either of them.

Their relationships were merely superficial, lacking any genuine connection.

In the director's office, Jamison greeted Norah with a warm smile.

"Dr. Wilson, it's wonderful to see you again. I'm glad you're alright."

He gestured for her to sit on the sofa, taking a moment to take her in.

Her hair, once waist-long, now just brushed her shoulders, and though her attire was simple, she remained as striking as ever-the same radiant Norah!

“I was taken aback when I heard about your accident. It's a relief to see you back at the hospital," Jamison remarked.

Norah smiled with a slight squint. “Thanks for your concern, Jamison. I've moved beyond all that now."

"So, when do you plan to return to work? We've kept your position open for you."

After Norah had vanished, Gil, unable to accept her disappearance, had spoken with Jamison, and they had agreed to hold her job open until she returned.

Having already discussed this with Gil, Norah had her response prepared.

"I've thought it over carefully. I would have loved to return if not for the accident, but now I have other commitments. I'm sorry, but I probably won't be coming back to work here."

She felt guilty for letting down Gil and Jamison, but her new pursuits were now her priority.

Jamison, clearly surprised by her decision, voiced his disappointment.

“Dr. Wilson, it's a real shame you won't be rejoining us, but I understand. Good luck with your future projects!"

He offered a comforting pat on her shoulder. “You're destined for great things. Silver Boulder Private Hospital can't confine you."

Norah kept her future plans to herself and did not share them with Jamison. Discussing unconfirmed plans only invited potential disappointment.

“Jamison, I appreciate your support during that period."

She had brought gifts, each a token of her gratitude.

Jamison, resigned to her decision, sighed. He knew persuading Norah to stay was futile but respected her decision.
