Chapter: 302

Did Norah believe she had secured the promotion? Without Gil's backdoor approach, would Norah possess such advantageous resources?

Did Norah genuinely think she could seize the attending physician's promotion slot as a newcomer? It seemed implausible!

Immersed in her assumption, Jolie grasped the efficiency of the director's office was truly commendable. They had swiftly addressed her complaint letter.

Jolie proudly reflected on this as she followed Norah on her rounds, notebook in hand. It was slightly disappointing not to witness Norah breaking down, but she had become accustomed to Norah's seemingly composed demeanor. Would Norah seek out a secluded spot to cry in private? Jolie pondered with anticipation as she searched for Norah during the rounds.

Norah was busy tending to her patients. After her conversation with Jolie, she made her way through the hospital with her trusty notebook in hand.

Norah knew her patients’ conditions by heart. Her rounds were essential for timing surgeries perfectly. As she completed her visit to the first ward, she encountered Jolie, who awkwardly stood in the hallway, clutching the notebook.

“Dr. Wilson, fancy seeing you here, checking on this ward?" Jolie ventured.

Norah responded with a hint of sarcasm, “Perhaps you should reconsider your words."

Jolie inwardly cringed, realizing her blunder. This ward was exclusively Norah's domain. What was she thinking? “Apologies, Dr.

Wilson. I misspoke. I meant it's unexpected to run into you here."

“Not really," Norah remarked dryly, brushing past Jolie. “The patients of the Cardiac Surgery Department are all here."

Jolie's cheeks flamed with embarrassment. Norah's blunt remark about her mistake left her mortified. It seemed Norah was unfazed by their awkward conversation, moving on to her next task without a second thought. Jolie watched Norah leave, marveling at Norah's thick skin and ability to navigate her professional landscape with such ease. It was no surprise Norah had made connections. Yet, to Jolie, Norah's display of confidence seemed unnecessary.

After all, the coveted role of attending physician had already been secured by Baylor. In Jolie's eyes, Norah was just putting on a show.

Norah drove Susanna back to Sean's place. Susanna entered the house to find Sean freshening up for the day.

Holding two fluffy pillows, Susanna beamed at Sean. "Look what Norah made for us. She didn't forget you."

Sean, drying his face, turned to see Susanna approaching, pillows in arms, her excitement palpable.

“I had the best sleep last night thanks to this pillow. It's a game ~changer."" Susanna sounded like she was endorsing the pillows, hoping Sean would appreciate Norah's thoughtful yet simple gift.

"I'm putting one in your room. Make sure to try it tonight," Susanna declared, tossing a buckwheat pillow onto Sean's bed, disrupting the tidy covers. She then made her way downstairs with her own pillow in tow.

Sean was already bustling about in the kitchen when he offered breakfast to Susanna. "Would you like some?"

"No. Norah had whipped up something for me before she headed out for work. You're right. Her cooking is top-notch. Even the simplest dishes taste amazing," Susanna responded, appreciating Norah's culinary skills.

As Sean expertly flipped an egg, his smile broadened. “Yeah, Norah really knows her way around the kitchen."

Susanna, curiosity piqued, inquired, "It's unusual for you to be up and about so early. What plans do you have today?"

Sean, busy with the eggs, shared, "I'm due to visit Nexa Tech. and then I have a business event to attend on the outskirts of Glophia."

"A business event on the outskirts of Glophia? And why must you attend in person?" Susanna's confusion was evident.
