Chapter: 43

Norah responded with a light-hearted, "Is that so?"

Observing Kason's displeased expression, Kaiden awkwardly rubbed his head. "Yes, it's true. I've never seen him with a woman before. You're the first. My apologies. I didn't mean to imply anything.”

Norah had a favorable opinion of Kaiden. She saw him as a chatty teen, and though a bit offensive, she found herself quite fond of him. She gave Kason an amused glance and reassured, “It's all good."

Kaiden, not one to let the conversation drop, turned back to Kason, pressing, "Kason, now that I've said sorry, you've still not answered me! What did the Supernatural Doctor say? And how's great-grandpa doing?"

Kason, catching a subtle cue from Norah, replied, "Supernatural Doctor had given the diagnosis, believing your great-grandpa has another two or three years, and she can alleviate his discomfort."

Kaiden's eyes lit up in amazement. "That's incredible! So many others had given up hope, yet she found a way! She must be remarkable. What does she look Like? She's a teenager or a grown woman? Is she young? She must be quite old, right?" Kaiden bombarded Kason with questions without pausing for answers.

Norah, trying to stifle her laughter at Kason's expression, found the situation amusing.

"Why do you ask so many questions? Her identity is confidential, and I'm not at liberty to share details," Kason explained with a sidelong glance at Norah.

“What? I didn't ask much. Fine then," Kaiden said, sounding disappointed.

Kaiden turned his attention back to Norah and said, “Aren't you going to eat? Why not remove your mask?"

Caught off guard, Norah looked to Kason, contemplating her next move.

Given Kason's earlier remarks, Kaiden might start suspecting her true identity as Supernatural Doctor.

Norah had become quite recognizable recently. She was shining bright at the Krusa Mountain Racing after taking her mast off the other day.

Kason's voice was icy as he said, “Just go see your great-grandpa and then head out. Don't expect to dine here. You're not invited."

Kaiden gave Kason a look full of sorrow and pleaded, “Come on, Kason. It's time for a meal. Can't I just eat with you?"

Kason declined sharply, “I didn't order to prepare a meal for you.”

Kaiden objected, "But there's many dishes on the table, aren't there?"

His eyes then shifted to Norah sitting across from them, guessing Kason might prefer dining alone with her. He had yet to see Norah's face behind the mask and his curiosity was piqued.

Norah was sitting back, entertained by their argument.

"Mr. Scott, Miss Wilson visited the Hayes family's residence today."

In the tidy and bright office, Phillip, clad in a black suit, respectfully addressed Sean, who was seated and engrossed in reading documents.

Sean glanced at the papers in his hand, turned a page, and casually asked, “Did she mention when she's coming to the Scott family's residence?"

“Not yet," Phillip responded, mopping the sweat from his brow. Since their last encounter, Norah had vanished without a trace. Without his efforts to gather information, her location would remain unknown.

Every day, Sean eagerly anticipated a message from Norah, but none came. Phillip noticed Sean's expression growing increasingly grim with each passing day.
