Chapter: 515
Norah wished she could stay in the lab for the entire day, but it wasn't possible. Sean wouldn't approve, and her body couldn't handle it either.
After grooming, Norah stepped out of her room. The distinguished Sean in the living room instantly lifted his gaze, his eyes locked onto her. "Good morning, honey."
“Good morning, darling." Norah let out a big yawn and settled herself at the dining table, saying, "Before anything else, I'll fill you in on my plans."
Breakfast today was toast. She grabbed a slice and started munching, detailing her day ahead.
Sean gave a nod, indicating his agreement. "Alright, let's head to the hospital first. Need a ride to the lab?"
"I'll just grab a taxi. You don't have to worry about me," Norah said earnestly, noticing Sean's concern. "Oh, by the way, is Phillip available? I could really use his help with something.”
“Phillip, come on in," Sean ordered.
Phillip and Kelvin were already awake and ready in a nearby room.
“Mr. Scott, Miss Wilson, what can I do for you?" Phillip asked.
"I've ordered some medicinal stuff online, but I might not be able to pick it up. It requires a face-to-face exchange, so I was hoping you could handle it." Norah planned to delegate the less crucial pickups, reserving only the essentials for herself.
Phillip looked hesitant. "I'm not exactly an expert on herbs..." He was worried about messing up and having to cover the losses.
"No biggie. I'll send you the pictures of the medicinal stuff. Just match the items with those."
Norah finished her breakfast after taking the last bit, while Sean, seated across, concluded his meal soon.
Sean casually wiped his mouth with a napkin. “Phillip, I have faith in your efficiency and dedication. Any concerns about taking on this task?"
Phillip straightened up, his expression becoming determined. "No problem at all!" It was just a package pickup. What could possibly go wrong? He was committed to getting it done.
As soon as Alice saw Norah, she couldn't help but complain, "Norah, you didn't pick up the phone yesterday. Sean was worried sick, calling you countless times."
“My bad. I was busy making medicine and forgot to check my phone.”
Norah fumbled with her fingers. “I realize my mistake now."
Alice reached out, patting Norah's hand gently. "I'm not that worried about your safety. After all, you're that capable. Just want to remind you to keep communication open with your boyfriend."
Norah held the reputation of being the organization's top assassin, boasting exceptional medical skills and unmatched prowess. Unless facing extraordinary circumstances, she always managed to evade harm.
Sean sat upright, his tone casual and relaxed. "We've already discussed about that. I appreciate your concern."
"As long as you two are okay. Norah, don't you have things to take care of? Off you go, then." Alice was well aware of Norah's involvement in medicine-making. It made perfect sense why Norah had been out of reach. Once Norah delved into her concoctions, she became unreachable.
"Alright, then I'll head out now." Norah rose, her black bag containing a duckbill cap and mask, essential gear for her lab trip, slung over her shoulder.
“Honey, I might be back late tonight. Don't wait for me. I'll give you a call once I'm done!" Norah said to Sean.
