Chapter: 66
Susanna's eyes sparkled with mischief as she playfully prodded, "So, Norah's special to you, Sean? Mind sharing why?"
With the conversation veering off course, Norah interjected, "That's not how it is..." She felt there was absolutely nothing going on between her and Sean!
"Susanna," Sean's voice cut through, this time with a stern edge.
"I get it, Sean. I'll keep quiet." Susanna flashed a sweet smile at Sean and Norah, melting away any hint of anger they might have felt toward her.
Changing the subject, Norah took another bite and asked, "Mr. Scott, how did I end up here?"
Recalling Susanna's mention of Sean carrying her back, Norah felt embarrassed. After those words escaped her Lips, she realized it might not be the best thread of conversation to pursue.
Sean's gaze lingered on Norah briefly. "After the meeting, I returned to find you unconscious on the sofa. It didn't feel right to leave you alone in the office, so I brought you home."
Norah was surprised. So, she was at his home? “Here is the Dreamview Villas?"
"Yes, aren't you familiar with this place?" Susanna affirmed.
Sean said indifferently, “Miss Wilson, we're neighbors."
Susanna's eyes widened in surprise, saying, “What? I've heard there are only five residences in this area. What a small world!"
Norah wasn't sure how many families resided in this area. She smiled at Sean and admitted, "I must have caught a cold in the rain earlier. I didn't even realize it. Thank you, Mr. Scott."
Sean shrugged casually. "No worries."
Norah didn't bring up how she ended up here anymore. The previous scene appeared to have concluded. She let out a sigh of relief.
Norah guessed Sean must have delved into her background and learned about her ongoing divorce procedures. Susanna might not have been aware of this.
The thought that the divorce with Derek hadn't been finalized yet irked Norah. Derek was acting foolishly. She couldn't fathom why he insisted on dragging out the divorce process. Wasn't it better for them to go their separate ways sooner rather than later?
After dinner, Susanna kept chatting with Norah.
"Norah, you might not believe it, but you seem familiar to me."
Susanna blinked her bright eyes.
Norah casually tossed her hair. “Is that so?" She chose to speak in her natural voice around Susanna, testing the latter's reaction. It appeared Susanna hadn't connected her to the famed Supernatural Doctor.
Right then, Sean approached with medication and a glass of water, setting them on the table. "Will these pills help?"
"Absolutely." The medication Sean provided was precisely what Norah needed. Norah accepted it gratefully.
After a short while, Norah prepared to leave. "Thank you, Mr. Scott. I'll repay your favor some other time. I'm off now. See you around.”
Despite Susanna's reluctance to see Norah leave, she pouted and said, “Bye, Norah. Get some rest when you're home. Philip will drive you back."
