Chapter: 879

Norah stopped. “What's the matter?”

Despite their past grudges, Norah wouldn't avoid normal conversations with Jolie in the hospital.

In a secluded corner of the hospital corridor, Jolie glanced around to ensure they were alone before addressing Norah.

"Dr. Wilson, you and Baylor are headed to Silverdale for an exchange program tomorrow. Baylor and I just started dating, and now we'll be apart for three months. Could I ask a favor of you?"

"Go ahead," Norah replied.

"Could you keep an eye on him for me? If he gets involved with someone else, I'd appreciate it if you tell me."

Norah scoffed. "What exactly is our relationship? Why should I monitor your boyfriend? Are you serious?"

She stood tall, looking down at Jolie. "We aren't friends, Jolie.

Remember that, and please don't approach me with these requests again."

Jolie's previous actions of spreading rumors had already soured their relationship. Despite knowing Norah's distaste for her, Jolie continued to seek her out.

Norah wanted their interactions to remain strictly professional.

Panicking, Jolie reached out to stop her, then shockingly knelt down, startling Norah.

Norah didn't understand Jolie's dramatic gesture and stepped aside, looking at her with confusion.

"Dr. Wilson, I'm sorry for everything. It was all my fault. I promise not to overstep again. But please, help me this time."

Tears welled up in Jolie's eyes as she pleaded, "You wouldn't want to see Baylor cheat on me, right? We're both women. Shouldn't we support one another?"

It was a blatant attempt to guilt Norah, but she was not swayed by such manipulations.

“Yes, we're both women. So what? There are countless women in the world. Why don't you ask one of them? Don't waste my time."

Norah sidestepped Jolie and left without regard to her attempts to detain her.

Norah found Jolie's behavior so absurd that she felt compelled to make it obvious.

Jolie stood up, seething, and quickly wiped away her fake tears.

Her entire demeanor was a pretense. She was determined to tarnish Norah's reputation.

To Norah, Jolie was merely a colleague from her department, nothing more.

"Norah!"

She heard her name called. Turning around, she saw Corrin hurrying towards her.
