Chapter: 310

Over time, Norah had moved on. Later, she met Derek. Reflecting on it, so much time had passed.

“Norah, were you the one who saved me from the gang's headquarters?"

Kason was tipsy then, his mind clouded, not fully awake. He couldn't recall the events clearly.

"It was Mr. Scott." Norah downplayed her role in the rescue and included Sean in the conversation. "I did the surgery for you. So, in a way, I guess I saved your life."

A smirk appeared on her face as she teased Kason, “Lately, it feels like I'm always the one saving you when you get hurt."

Kason gave a light cough. "You're really good at what you do. I'm lucky to have you save me."

The girl who once seemed fragile and pitiful had become skilled and self-sufficient, and Kason watched Norah with a deep sense of pride.

"Norah, how have you been after all these years?" He mulled over his words before finally speaking up. It had been more than ten years since he last showed any concern for Norah or paid her any attention.

This recent injury reminded him of the battle and the young girl he had rescued.

Kason wondered how Norah had managed in the welfare home. What had she experienced over the years? Her marriage to Derek, her reputation as the Supernatural Doctor, and her connections with Sean... He wanted to know about her. Yet, he was worried she might not see him as the supportive figure she once did.

Norah offered a gentle smile and said, "Let's not linger on the past."

Norah preferred to leave those memories behind. She was the only one who truly understood the depth of bitterness and fatigue she had been through.

Kason, visibly moved, managed to say, “Okay.”

His eyes softened as he looked up. With a smile, he asked, “Norah, did you recognize me right from the moment we met in the Glamour Club?"

"Yes." As soon as Norah heard Kason's name, she had her suspicions.

And seeing him in person only confirmed her belief. Although Kason had aged fourteen years, looking older yet more distinguished, his features remained unchanged.

"I recognized you when I saw you at the Glamour Club," Norah explained.

Kason then realized the reason behind Norah's particular interest and occasional glances. He had thought they were strangers, not realizing their paths had crossed long ago. "So why didn't you say anything?"

After a brief pause, Norah replied with ease, "After such a long time, it's hard to say what you might feel about me. And you're the leader of the Hayes family. Bringing up those memories could have looked like I was after your status."

She added with a hint of self-mockery, "Why should I seek a connection with you? I prefer to earn your respect through my own efforts."

Over a decade had passed, and upon their recent meeting, Kason showed no sign of recognition. Given their different social standings, Norah chose not to bring up their past. She had not expected Kason to remember her after all these years.

"Just focus on healing for now. We can talk more once you're feeling better." Norah smiled and said, "I'll visit you over the next few days for a chat."

“Okay." Kason felt fatigued, attributing it to his age and the toll of his injuries. The quick conversation with Norah had already worn him out.

After adjusting his bed, Norah made sure Kason was comfortable before she left.
