Chapter: 307

“Why run around getting hurt? Why not just stay home and rest?"

Norah stood up straight, speaking without much warmth. “It hurts me to see you this way.”

Kason, looking pale, murmured an apology, “I'm sorry for causing you to worry."

“Make sure you stay in the hospital until you're fully recovered.

Once you're out, you should rest at home. I'm not sure what risky plans you have in mind, but I do know your injuries have caused concerns to many."

Kason glanced around to find Norah, Kaiden, and Spencer all looking at him with concern. He offered a weak smile. "Alright."

"Actions speak louder than words." Norah and Kason had known each other for quite some time, and any initial awkwardness had disappeared. She valued her friendships deeply.

Kaiden observed Norah with great admiration, intrigued by this strong willed woman. "Norah, Kason is quite the rebel. Don't fall for his promises now. Once you're gone, he'll go back to his old ways."

Spencer was astonished by Kaiden's boldness.

Kaiden could feel Kason's stern look. "Seriously, he left the hospital early last time after his wrist surgery and immediately got caught up in work, neglecting his recovery."

Hearing this, Norah's look toward Kason turned frostier.

"So, Kason, you believe my worry's just for show, not worth your attention. Got it. I'll keep quiet about it from now on," Norah said coldly. Then, she turned to Kaiden. "Please, ensure Kason is looked after. I'm leaving."

Kaiden was confused. Things hadn't gone as he expected. He hurried after her and said, “Norah...”

"I do care about your words." Kason's voice was weak but determined.

"Nora!"

Norah stopped and turned around, disbelief in her eyes.

Despite his weakened state, Kason's strong presence was undiminished.

He looked at Norah tenderly and said again, "Nora."

Kaiden scratched his head, musing, “Last time, after his surgery, Kason had called out ‘Nora’. Could that be a special nickname for Norah?"

The last time Kason whispered her nickname, Norah thought he might have recalled their shared past. But since he didn't bring it up after waking up, she chose not to ask.

But this time seemed to be different.

Spencer sensed something and quickly came over to Kaiden, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. "Norah, Kason, Kaiden and I need to talk about something. You guys catch up. We'll be right back."

"What do we need to talk about? Is..." Before Kaiden could finish, Spencer already covered Kaiden's mouth and pulling him out of Kason's ward.

Outside Kason's ward, Kaiden brushed off Spencer's hand. “Spencer, why did we have to leave? Kason might need my help with his advances toward Norah!"
