Chapter: 276

On her way to Kason's ward, Norah ran into Spencer.

"Norah, what a coincidence," Spencer greeted her, his memory jogging back to the previous night when he saw Sean waiting outside the operating room until the surgery was over. He asked, "Do you know Mr. Scott? He spent hours waiting outside the operating room until the operation was over. I don't think he was there for Kason. He was probably waiting for you, wasn't he?"

Norah was speechless for a moment, unable to believe that Sean had been waiting for her for so long.

"Yeah, we are just ordinary friends," Norah replied as she pushed the ward's door open. “Tell me, Spencer, are you and Mr. Scott familiar with each other?"

Hearing this, Spencer shook his head and replied, "No." How could he be familiar with Sean when it was nearly impossible for his sister, who was a secretary at Sean's office, to even catch a glimpse of Sean?

To Spencer, Sean was basically a ghost who was never around.

As Spencer and Norah entered Kason's ward, they met Kaiden sitting on a chair near the bed, his anxious eyes fixated on Kason, who lay motionlessly on the bed, his breathing weak and shallow.

Walking up to Kaiden, Norah softly asked, "Hasn't he woken up at all?"

Kaiden shook his head and wiped away the tears that were gathering in his eyes. "No... Not even a blink."

Kason had remained unconscious since the conclusion of the surgery that was performed on him last night.

Norah patted Kaiden's shoulder and consoled him, “Stop crying.

Everything is going to be alright. Kason is going to wake up eventually. I just took advantage of being off duty to come and check on Kason."

“That's kind of you, Norah," Kaiden said as he made way for Norah and watched her as she examined Kason's condition.

“The gunshot wound should heal quickly as long as he doesn't stress the wound. As for the injury on his wrist, we might need to treat it again," Norah said.

Kason wasn't fully healed of his initial wound and couldn't Lift heavy objects when he decided to visit the Fox Alliance's base. Now, with his new injury, he would have to lie in bed for anywhere between 10 and 15 days.

With a sigh, Norah looked up at Kaiden and said, “You're nearly fully recovered. Take good care of him, okay?"

"Will do. You have my word," Kaiden replied firmly.

Norah nodded and looked back at Jason and pursed her lips, her eyes filled with concern. Even without makeup and regardless of the coldness that was emanating from her, she still looked alluring.

Observing Norah's expression, Kaiden's eyes twitched for a moment.

From the look of things, it seemed Norah had some hidden feelings for Kason.

Before, Kaiden had considered Norah an unsuitable and unworthy woman for Kason. But now, his views have drastically changed. Kaiden came to realize Norah was calm, intelligent, and skilled in medicine. Plus, she was such a beauty. He now thought of her as a perfect match for Kason. It would be nice if Norah and Kason were to tie the knot.

Kaiden assumed the warmth he felt in his heart as he looked at Norah was simply because of his gratitude for her life-saving favor.

"If you don't mind, Norah, taking into account that you work at this hospital, could you dedicate some part of your time to check on Kason? You'll be able to convince him to take things slowly and rest his body," Kaiden suggested. Typically, Kason's pride wouldn't permit him to accept any offers of help. However, recognizing Kason's current need for assistance in his weakened state, Kason was determined to allow people to lend a hand.

With a sigh, Kaiden continued, "Remember the surgery on his hand before? If it weren't for your words, he would have gone home right after the surgery."
