Chapter: 201

Jamison, now more understanding toward Norah, didn't hesitate to grant her the leave.

After concluding the call, Norah looked up to find Sean pondering aloud, “You're always so focused on your work. You're the celebrated Supernatural Doctor. Why do you choose to work in a private hospital in Glophia?"

Caught off guard by the question, Norah countered, “And why do you, Mr. Scott, invest your time in a small tech company? It hardly compares to the scale of your other ventures within the Scott Group."

She was genuinely puzzled by his interest in Nexa Tech, a company that seemed insignificant against the backdrop of his vast business empire, mirroring his curiosity about her dedication to Silver Boulder Private Hospital.

With an enigmatic smile, Sean probed further, "What do you think is my reason, Norah?" His gaze held a mix of intrigue and amusement, inviting her to explore the layers behind his choices.

A strange expression came upon Norah's face when she detected the tenderness in Sean's voice. She shook her head, saying, "I don't know."

Her interactions with Sean were quite few for her to properly understand why he insisted on working at a technology company.

"You'll soon find out," Sean said.

Sean stood up, his tall figure enveloping Norah. “I'll get you something to eat now that you've woken up."

"No..." Norah instinctively wanted to decline. However, she realized that Sean would probably not listen to her, so she instead said, "Is there a servant in the villa? If there is, just get one of them to bring it to me."

Sean shot Norah a glance and said, "The housekeepers don't come every day, and the chef hasn't come. Just stay in bed while I go get you something."

His words brooked no arguments, so Norah reluctantly agreed. Besides, his stern words were for her good, unlike Derek's harsh words, which were always full of blame and resentment.

Norah lowered her gaze. Derek had failed as a husband, having an affair while married and even bringing his mistress home. He was truly the scum of the earth.

Her childhood memories burned brightly in her head. She began to wonder if Kason's character had also been influenced. If that were the case, she would distance herself from him before he recognized her.

Breakfast consisted of sandwiches and pure milk. Norah didn't have an appetite, so she barely touched the food.

“Have some milk. Eat some more," Sean said, placing a glass of warmed milk by Norah's side.

"No. I'm full," Norah replied, shaking her head.

"Alright. Then drink the milk, okay?" Sean coaxed.

His voice carried a touch of alluring, which Norah found irresistible.

Norah wondered if Sean took her as Susanna.

She took the cup in her hands and drank it down in one gulp. “Done.”

"That's good."

Norah looked up and saw Sean smiling at her. She immediately averted her gaze. “Now that I've had breakfast, I'll be going home." There was no reason for her to remain at Sean's place.

"I'm worried about you. Your back still hasn't healed properly. You'll stay here so I can take care of you," Sean said, frowning at her.
