Chapter: 518
The papers the assistant held were the same ones she'd looked at the day before.
Funny enough, she knew how to tackle those problems. Even though she wasn't into science stuff before, she could come up with solutions right on the spot, one by one.
She was hesitant, not really wanting to share her insights. Some of those medicines were made for people dealing with sickness and hurting.
She couldn't make medicine to wipe out diseases, but if she could lend a hand in making their medicine, would that be her way of helping out?
Norah pondered, deciding that it probably was worthwhile. The people at the research institute were working on different projects, aiming to make medicines that could manage diseases. Everything happened for a reason.
The papers from Shelton merely outlined several hurdles in their project. When it came to medicine development, numerous challenges could emerge. If she could help tackle even one, that would be her contribution.
“Enough with the theatrics. Hand over the papers." Norah accepted the documents and said, “I can spare another twenty minutes."
Shelton eagerly offered her a glass of water. "Thank you for your support, Supernatural Doctor. May we have your payment details? Once the medication is ready, we'll compensate you."
Norah agreed without hesitation, "Sure thing." Receiving payment for her efforts rather than volunteering made sense to her.
Twenty minutes flew by, and only a fraction of the topics in the documents had been covered.
"I'll continue tomorrow." Norah shut the folder, always on top of her schedule. "Time to go."
Norah left the institute, indifferent to Shelton's reluctant gaze.
Sometimes, she wished their research could advance faster. With so many suffering from various ailments worldwide, new medicines offered a glimmer of hope.
Outside the institute, Norah dialed Sean. "Darling, have you eaten yet?"
Sean's voice was deep, saying, "No. I've been waiting to dine with you."
"Alright, I'll be home in thirty minutes." After ending the call, Norah put aside her plan to grab a quick bite nearby and took a taxi home instead.
Upon arrival, a warm, delicious meal awaited her, ready to be savored.
Sean was at the table, his features gentle and inviting, gazing tenderly at Norah as she enjoyed her meal.
"Phillip has placed the items you asked for in your room. Inspected them as you wished, and if there's anything amiss, feel free to consult him."
"Good, thank Phillip for me."
Norah finished her meal and truly appreciated having a personal assistant. It was a relief when she was busy and couldn't get to certain tasks because her assistant would take care of them.
Phillip was reliable and hardworking. Norah thought that if he weren't so loyal to Sean, she might have tried to hire him for herself.
“By the way, darling, something happened today..." Norah shared the incident at the research institute with Sean. "Do you think I was wrong in what I did?"
Sean knew exactly what she was talking about and gave her a kind look. “Honey, trust your instincts. You already knew what to do, didn't you? I believe you made the correct choice."
