Chapter: 39

Sean eased up and asked, "So, you know a bit about leukemia, right? Then, after you're done with Rodrigo, please check on my sister."

This revelation caught Norah off guard, as she hadn't anticipated Sean having a sister.

Her familiarity with Sean was limited to his reputation for seizing control of the Scott family through formidable tactics, with minimal details of his family life or past.

Norah's inquisitive look prompted Sean to assure, "I'll brief you on her condition beforehand."

As they reached their destination, the car arrived at a spot Norah recognized well.

Dreamview Villas boasted standalone homes, with each house considerably far apart. Phillip parked the vehicle outside the villa as instructed by Norah.

“Thank you for the ride, Mr. Scott. Until next time," Norah said, standing at the doorway, expressing her gratitude with politeness.

She genuinely appreciated Sean's intervention earlier that day and for the transportation home.

A distant smile adorned Norah's visage as a soft breeze played with her hair, prompting her to tuck a strand behind her ear.

Something in Sean shifted at the sight. He averted his eyes, his lashes casting shadows below.

“There's no need for thanks," he responded.

When the black sedan pulled into the garage, he noticed that their two villas were adjacent.

"Miss Wilson owns a place in Dreamview Villas, huh? That suggests she's not as unremarkable as the reports make her out to be,"

Phillip said, holding the door open for Sean.

Stepping out of the car, Sean commented, “There is a lot of false information in those files." He had initiated a background check on Norah before the contest. Despite uncovering basic facts, numerous details remained elusive.

"Should we delve deeper into her background? We could leverage Sacredice's resources for this purpose."

Sean gave him a sharp look. “If Sacredice were capable, they'd have located the Supernatural Doctor by now."

Phillip's forehead dripped with cold sweat. "Well. As Sean entered his home, he mused, "She's accepted the consultation fee. We'll uncover the truth soon."

Norah watched the black luxury vehicle fade into the distance, musing to herself as she stepped inside her home. Sean, despite his intimidating aura, was a gentleman. She knew he was nice to her because of her medical expertise.

Meanwhile, Joanna grappled with corporate responsibilities, and Norah prepared for a surgical procedure.

Securing a scalpel from her safe, Norah coordinated with Kason before heading to the Hayes family's residence. She had gone in disguise for this trip. She knew Kason wouldn't reveal her identity as Supernatural Doctor to anyone but others might do otherwise.

Standing by the door, Kason was surprised to see the butler bringing in Norah, bundled up in layers of clothing.

“Where is he?" With a mask on, Norah spoke, her voice slightly muffled.

"Come with me." Kason pushed the heavy door open and ushered Norah inside.
