Chapter: 862

Since Susanna's leukemia had relapsed, Norah had utilized specialized methods to strengthen her condition. Otherwise, Susanna would need to undergo chemotherapy before the transplantation.

“She is incredibly innocent. She'll be admitted to the hospital in a few days, and I plan to gently introduce the situation to her as we go along," Norah remarked, her voice tinged with concern.

Norah really cared for Susanna, her treatments usually laced with words of encouragement. Watching the young girl's face light up with joy would become Norah's greatest reward. For the looming challenges of transplantation and chemotherapy, Norah aimed to safeguard Susanna's spirit from being burdened by worry.

Norah and Gil personally devised a meticulous treatment plan for Susanna. They arranged for bone marrow matching and carefully coordinated every detail of the engraftment.

"Once Susanna arrives, I'll likely need to head to Concord Hospital for exchange. Her condition will require your careful attention,"

Norah explained.

"I know you're in love her brother. I'll make sure she's well taken care of. You focus on your studies there and watch out for your colleagues," Gil reassured her.

For the exchange, one outstanding doctor was selected from each department. Silver Boulder Private Hospital, the premier private hospital in Glophia, with its 4@ departments, had a total of 41 participating doctors. Notably, the Cardiac Surgery Department was represented by two exceptional doctors.

"ALL the doctors involved in the exchange are seasoned attending physicians. Two directors ought to lead the team. I know you're decisive. Focus on what matters, and filter out the noise. Clear?"

Gil emphasized.

When some individuals acquired a taste of power, they often indulged in flaunting their authority and spouting empty words. Gil, being the director of the Neurosurgery Department, was well acquainted with such dynamics.

"Thank you for your concern. I appreciate it, but I've got this. You can trust me not to be manipulated," Norah reassured him with a smile, rising from her seat. "I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, just give me a call. Oh, and I've arranged for some food to be sent to Trudy. I used a delivery service to have it sent straight to your apartment. Please remember to let Trudy know and have her accept the delivery."

"Norah, that's very kind of you." Laughter danced in Gil's words. The joy of having someone who cared for them both was unmistakable.

"It's just a small gesture. When I return from Silverdale, I'll bring you gifts," Norah mentioned before swiftly excusing herself. She could tell Gil and Trudy's care for her was genuine.

She understood that the elderly couple likely projected their love for their late Aurelia onto her, but she recognized their genuine care and embraced it.

Upon returning home, Norah broached Susanna's treatment plan during dinner.

Susanna, preoccupied with her head bowed, was engrossed in messaging Joanna and paid little attention.

"I can undergo the surgery while you are available. Once it's done, I can focus on recovering my health.”

Her childhood treatment process had slipped from her memory, its details veiled in a haze of deliberate forgetfulness.

As Norah's medical prowess replicated chemotherapy's effects without the need for equipment, Susanna's unwavering trust in her grew, eagerly anticipating their upcoming transplantation surgery.

Norah delicately sampled a morsel of food, savoring the flavors crafted by a chef Sean had hired. While she occasionally dabbled in cooking herself, she understood the magic that professional chefs brought to the table. The taste was exquisite, a testament to their culinary expertise.

After Alice finished her meal, she delicately dabbed at her mouth with a tissue. "Norah," she said softly, “come to my room before you retire for the night. There's something important I'd like to discuss with you."

"Okay." Alice steered her wheelchair towards the elevator. During their last visit to the Glamour Club, Norah had observed a significant improvement in Alice's legs. While standing briefly posed no issue, to aid in better recovery, Norah insisted that Alice continue using the wheelchair. Otherwise, Alice would have Likely abandoned it and initiated overly intense rehabilitation.

"Susanna, I have some bad news," Norah said gently. "I won't be able to perform your surgery, and the treatment process will be quite lengthy."
