Chapter: 301
Just like Sean has one for you, I can stay over when I visit."

Susanna looked up at Norah with pleading eyes.

"sure." Norah had plenty of rooms to spare, so accommodating Susanna wasn't an issue. She found that having more people around made the house feel more vibrant. “This room was recently made up. You can stay tonight. Let me guide you to another room," she offered warmly.

Once Susanna selected a room, Norah promised Susanna that on her next visit, the room would have fresh linens.

As for the gift Norah mentioned, she didn't just talk. She retrieved a vacuum-sealed buckwheat pillow from the wardrobe. "I've noticed you occasionally struggle to sleep. Here's a buckwheat pillow I crafted myself. It's quite effective for inducing sleep.”

Though not costly, it was imbued with sentiment.

Accepting it, Susanna noticed several more pillows in the wardrobe and quipped, “Norah, are you giving me a pair because good things come in twos?"

Norah agreed, "Alright. I'll give you two. Just make sure to alternate between them."

Susanna happily carried the two pillows back to her room.

In her spare time, Norah found pleasure in hands-on activities, particularly crafting useful items. Given her expertise in medicine, she often created items like the buckwheat pillow, which proved beneficial for individuals struggling with insomnia.

As time elapsed, the sun gradually ascended from the horizon.

In the Cardiac Surgery Department, as Norah began her morning shift, Jamison summoned her and said, "You don't have any surgeries scheduled at the moment. The promotion list for attending physicians has been finalized. An additional slot was created for the Cardiac Surgery Department, so both you and Dr. Padilla are included in the promotion list."

“Okay, thank you, Jamison."

With the promotion slots for attending physicians confirmed, Norah returned to her office, maintaining a casual smile despite Jolie's scrutinizing gaze.

"Dr. Austin, why do you always keep an eye on me?" Norah inquired.

Jolie was blunt. “Dr. Wilson, what did Jamison discuss with you just now?"

Jolie wondered whether it was about the promotion slots for attending physicians. Considering her anonymous complaint letter against Norah, the slot should have been reserved for Baylor, correct?

Moreover, before having a talk with Norah, Jamison had called for Baylor, who returned with a beaming expression, obviously indicating good news. Jolie assumed the issue of promoting attending physicians seemed settled.

With all these thoughts in mind, Jolie had inquired of Norah simply to gain pleasure from Norah's reaction. After all, in her book, Norah was skilled at pretending. Would Norah shed tears if she failed to secure the promotion?

Jolie meticulously scrutinized Norah's facial expressions, ensuring not to overlook any nuances.

"Just some work stuff to talk with Jamison. You'll find out soon enough, Dr. Austin." Norah retrieved the notebook from the desk. "If you have some spare time, Dr. Austin, you could utilize the time to delve into the patients' conditions. I'll go on the rounds now. Goodbye."

Jolie, filled with bitterness, clenched her teeth as she questioned Baylor, “Dr. Padilla, did Jamison summon you regarding the attending physician's promotion? Did he indicate that it's for you?"

Jamison hadn't briefed Baylor on the three available slots. Baylor was caught up in the excitement of the forthcoming promotion. "Yes, Jamison informed me that it's for me."

Jolie scornfully watched Norah's back. What was Norah pretending for?
