Chapter: 892

“Derek, I've been thinking. It's a rare opportunity to go to Silverdale. Would you like to join me?"

Derek responded without hesitation, confirming he would accompany Coen after sorting out the company's affairs.

Then he was troubled by thoughts of Madeline, who was pregnant and staying at home, not working. Thankfully, his company received capital injections and was saved from bankruptcy.

Despite his family's considerable wealth, including several villas and cars in his name, he found himself unwilling to share financial resources with Madeline. He couldn't understand why he subconsciously resisted her whenever they interacted.

He resolved to inform her about his upcoming trip to Silverdale once he returned home.

On their first day at Concord Hospital, the main task for the doctors from the Silver Boulder Private Hospital was to acclimate to the new environment and their new roles. They were distributed across different departments, where they would familiarize themselves with various roles over the next three months.

The goal was to foster the comprehensive development of the medical staff, so doctors unsuited for rotations were placed in fitting roles instead.

Unfortunately, Norah found herself assigned to the emergency department, the most demanding area, where she would alternate between day and night shifts.

After her initial day of training, she was set to begin her official duties the next day.

Returning to her room, she learned that Gemma had been assigned to the pediatric surgery department.

"I previously rotated for a year to earn my title, and ultimately, I found the plastic surgery department the most fitting," Gemma shared as she gathered her pajamas and tied up her hair. "Dr. Wilson, I'm off to shower. See you later."

"Alright," Norah replied.

Having spent half the day together, Norah had begun to understand the kind of person Gemma was-intelligent, easy-going, and genuinely kind.

Norah had a very good feel about Gemma. After all, a supportive friend was far more valuable than one who only complained. Since they worked in different departments, their encounters were limited to breaks, making their friendship all the more special.

Norah wondered what Sean was up to. She pulled out her phone, hesitated, then decided to call him later.

Meanwhile, Sean was in his sister's hospital room.

Susanna complained, "Sean, Mom bought so many clothes for Nancy.

Shouldn't she buy some for me too?"

Nancy, clutching the new clothes, offered, "If you don't want me to wear these, I'll change back into the old ones. It's my fault. I don't deserve new clothes."

As Nancy was on the verge of tears, Kayla intervened, “Susanna, once you're better, I'll buy you plenty of clothes if you want. We've just welcomed Nancy into the family, and I need to take good care of her."

Matteo added, "Susanna, they're just clothes. Don't worry. Once you recover, I'll get you the latest styles. Okay?"

They attempted to soothe Susanna, who had been restless and upset throughout her infusion that day, crying and screaming several times.

That evening, the quarrel began shortly after Kayla arrived with a well-dressed Nancy.

Susanna was aggressive, while Nancy humbly kept apologizing, nearly in tears.
