Chapter: 980

Baylor quickened his pace to catch up. “How are you finding the emergency department? Dr. Blakely has mentioned your name multiple times, suggesting you transfer to the cardiac surgery department."

“I believe your presence there suffices," Norah replied with a gentle smile, inadvertently causing Baylor's expression to falter.

Baylor interpreted her response as mockery. Despite spending considerable time in the cardiac surgery department, he hadn't received any acknowledgment from Toby.

In contrast, Norah's name frequently cropped up in Toby's conversations, her recent surgery becoming the subject of department -wide study and admiration.

Clenching his fist and inhaling deeply, Baylor admitted, “I'm not on par with you. When it comes to medical expertise, you excel. The emergency department's workload is exhausting and relentless. There's still over a month left. Dr. Wilson, please reconsider. Join us in cardiac surgery."

The emergency department undeniably demanded the most grueling work and endless shifts. As a visiting doctor, Norah's only perk was exemption from night duties.

Norah stopped walking. This was the third time Baylor had come to persuade her to rotate to the cardiac surgery department. She suspected it was Toby who had put him up to it.

"We're both doctors from Silver Boulder. Our roles were predetermined.

If I were to switch to cardiac surgery, there'd be a void in the emergency department," Norah explained, her demeanor cool, her gaze piercing. "However, if you're willing to exchange positions with me, I'm certain both Dr. Toby Blakely and the emergency department director would approve."

Norah proposed the switch with calculated precision.

Baylor felt thoroughly flustered. He had no desire to work in the emergency department; he wasn't naive enough to accept such a role.

“No, I don't think it's a good idea," he interjected hastily.

Before Norah could say anything else, Baylor quickly left, fearing that she would press him further about switching positions.

Norah let out a cold snort. He was eager to ask her to switch departments, but when it came to his own interests, he backed down immediately.

If he wanted to make a good impression on Toby, he would have to do it without her cooperation.

After work, Sean drove Norah to change into a dress. Once they finished the styling, they headed to the restaurant arranged by Manley.

Exiting the car, they spotted Hans, accompanied by an assistant, waiting at the entrance.

Hans stood with his crossed over his chest, looking down at the ground. He didn't raise his eyes until he heard the sound of their arrival.

Seeing Sean and Norah approaching, he straightened up and greeted them. “Miss Wilson, Mr. Scott, you've arrived.”

As Sean's assistant presented a gift, Hans's assistant swiftly took it.

“We're here for dinner. You needn't have brought a gift. Please, come inside."

The passers-by hadn't anticipated such personal attention for a couple from the man they held in high regard.

Norah stopped walking. This was the third time Baylor had come to persuade her to rotate to the cardiac surgery department. She suspected it was Toby who had put him up to it.
