Chapter: 81

Jolie glanced around and leaned in to whisper to Norah, “Whenever Jamison holds a meeting, he can't stop praising Supernatural Doctor. But it's been a couple of years since I've heard anything about Supernatural Doctor. I'm not sure if she's retired. I'd love to learn from her. Her skills are just out of this world."

Norah responded with a laugh, “Stories have a way of getting blown out of proportion. She might not be as miraculous as everyone says."

Jolie quickly objected, “That's not true at all! In my eyes, Supernatural Doctor is nothing short of extraordinary! She's my role model, and Jamison admires her greatly, too! He's always talking about her. Not only is Supernatural Doctor a master surgeon, but her unique healing techniques are also something. She's got talents that go beyond the operating table!"

Strength often drew admiration, and the Supernatural Doctor had quite the legendary status, known far and wide. Jolie was just Like everyone else in this regard, harboring a profound respect for Supernatural Doctor.

Norah didn't push the conversation any further and was just about to show her agreement with what Jolie was saying when the sound of Jamison's uninterested voice cut in. "Have you finished your tasks? Is there time for a chat?"

Jolie stopped talking at once and turned around, responding solemnly, “Jamison, Dr. Wilson and I were not just chatting. I was briefing her on the department's policies."

Norah stayed calm, her face untroubled, making it seem like Jolie's explanation was accurate.

Jamison gave a dismissive scoff. "If you're looking for something to do, come help me sort out the patient files and draft case reports."

He made a point to look directly at Norah before he walked away.

Norah understood that Jamison had approached them on purpose with his remarks, but she wasn't bothered. After all, focusing on the job was exactly what she was there to do.

On top of that, Jamison was keeping a close eye on her, just Like a vigilant hawk, poised to spot any slip-ups and give a heads-up.

Once she started working at the hospital, Norah was tagging along with Jamison more often during rounds in the Cardiac Surgery Department. The outpatient duties were divided among six other doctors on rotation, leaving Norah no room to join.

Jolie had mentioned that the schedule for cardiac consultations was quite packed.

Norah ended up doing a variety of tasks in the Cardiac Surgery Department. In an unexpected turn, she even helped Gil with surgery in the Neurosurgery Department, leaving the neurosurgeons puzzled as to why a doctor with her abilities wasn't with them instead of the Cardiac Surgery Department.

Gil simply offered a smile in response, not explaining.

At the Carter family's villa.

Kathy was relaxing on the couch while Madeline was at the dressing table, applying her makeup.

“Madeline, my brother mentioned he met your parents recently. How did that go?" Kathy asked.

Kathy had been grounded at home since their last outing to the racetrack, undergoing what Sharon considered necessary discipline. It was only recently that she had been allowed out again.

Derek once mentioned meeting Madeline's parents over a meal, and Kathy took note of it.

While shaping her eyebrows, Madeline answered, "It went well. Derek brought up the idea of our parents meeting to set a date for the wedding."

"That's good to know. Rest assured, Madeline. Once I return home, I'll surely put in a good word for you with my mom. She doesn't quite get you and that was the reason she disliked you. Don't let it get you down. My mom's just looking out for my brother," Kathy replied, patting her chest.

Yet, Kathy's mood darkened as she remembered what happened to Derek two years ago. Soon, she comforted herself that those issues were between her brother and Madeline. As Derek's sister, her main concern was his happiness.

Given how seemingly well Madeline treated Derek now, Kathy doubted the past problems would happen again.
