Chapter: 649
As Norah stepped down from the operating table, she spotted the boy's parents standing at the department's entrance. The father held a gift, looking inside anxiously.
“Hello, may I ask who are you looking for?" Norah asked.
They were blocking the entrance.
The boy's father turned around, his face alight with excitement.
"Doctor, my son is doing much better. We owe it all to your exceptional skills. We've come specifically to express our gratitude."
He shook her hand and opened the thank-you banner he held.
"Grateful Family Hails Dr. Norah Wilson for Saving Their Son's Life The banner read.
The golden words shimmered brightly.
Norah responded with a gentle nod, “Thank you for your kind words.
I accept the banner, but please, keep the gift."
The boy's mother shook her head and said, "Dr. Wilson, we picked out this gift especially for you, and we can't take it back. Please, accept it."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Norah had no choice but to accept the gift. "Thank you."
She deeply felt their appreciation.
“Please keep a close eye on your son once he's back home. How is he doing now?"
"He's much better. He's due to be discharged from the hospital in a few days. That afternoon, he ate three ice creams in one go, and soon after, he coughed up blood. We rushed him to the hospital immediately. Without you, we might have lost our son," the boy's mother said in a trembling voice, still shaken by the incident.
They were acutely aware of the danger that day. Fortunately, they had met a wonderful doctor.
“It was my duty to help him. I'm just glad to hear he's recovering."
Norah walked in with the banner, receiving yet another round of compliments from her colleagues.
Since her arrival at the hospital, she had often received thank-you banners. Most of them sent to the department were indeed addressed to her.
Even Jamison didn't get as many as she did.
Norah returned to her office because she had forgotten Susanna's case files, which she needed to discuss with Gil.
They were almost ready to start planning Susanna's surgery.
By the time they finished discussing the operation details, it was already dark.
