Chapter: 45

As they drew closer, Kason stepped forward to place himself between Norah and Sean.

Kason greeted, “Mr. Scott, your visit is an honor. I need to escort someone out. Please come in and make yourself comfortable. I'll join you shortly."

Sean's response was marked by a slight smirk and said, "Miss Wilson? What a coincidence."

Sean looked past Kason to Norah and said, "Miss Wilson, haven't I seen your face? Why are you hiding yourself like this?"

Hearing Sean's words, Kason was momentarily taken aback, quickly piecing together that Norah and Sean must have crossed paths before.

Remembering the earlier message and the fact that the winner of the Krusa Mountain Racing was known by the name Nocturne, Kason suspected that Nocturne could indeed be Sean. He guessed that Norah and Sean likely had a private connection.

Despite his thoughts, Kason kept his cool. Norah stepped up and addressed Sean calmly, “Mr. Scott, your reason for visiting Mr. Hayes is significant. It makes little sense for someone uninvolved like me to linger. Mr. Hayes was just seeing me off."

Under Sean's piercing look, she added, “I won't keep you any Longer. There's no need for an escort to the door. I'm fine leaving by myself."

With a nod toward both men, she took her leave.

Norah was uncertain of Sean's reasons for visiting Kason but was sure it was unrelated to her. She preferred to stay out of anything involving Sean.

Sean, unfazed, attempted to halt her departure, saying, "Since our paths have crossed, why not wait? I can offer you a ride later."

Norah was surprised by his offer, but then she shook her head, replying, "No, thank you. I drove here on my own."

Following a previous inconvenience, she quickly purchased a car to ensure she wouldn't be left without a means of transport again. "I'll manage on my own."

Norah swiftly moved past Sean and vanished from view at the courtyard gate.

Phillip carefully watched Sean's face and detected a touch of annoyance. He couldn't shake off a twinge of concern for Norah. He found it quite surprising that Norah could boldly turn down Sean's offer without worrying about any possible consequences from him. But Sean wasn't one to hold petty grudges.

With Norah gone, Kason invited Sean inside. "Mr. Scott, this way, please."

Other than their earlier meeting, Kason had never engaged with Sean before. He had no clue why Sean had shown up to see him in person today.

As Norah drove off, she relegated Sean's arrival to the back of her thoughts and directed her car toward Silver Boulder Private Hospital.

Recollecting where that office was, she approached and knocked on the door.

“Please, come in," an elderly voice responded.

Norah opened the door to find an elderly man with a white beard, deeply engrossed in his paperwork, who didn't bother looking up at her entrance.

“Leave the medical records on the table, please. If that's all, you may step out now." Gil Davies had assumed it was the nurse delivering the documents and spoke without looking up.

When Gil noticed the door remained open, he glanced up, greeting the visitor with a surprised and welcoming smile, “Norah!”

“Hello, Gil," Norah replied, her smile warm.
