NovelEndChapter 124:
Sean’s mind beca whirlwind of thoughts, pondering the significance of Kason to Norah, compelling her to
gamble her life to rescue him.
“Quick, dial up the police and let them know Mr. Hayes is holed up at Silver Boulder Private Hospital,” Sean
instructed.
“Got it.”
Kaiden dashed to the hospital, breathless, to find Sean, who exuded an air of dignity, seated pensively on a
nearby bench. Sean seemed a shade different from his usual distant self, a touch subdued.
Following close behind, Spencer greeted Sean with a nod. “Mr. Scott.”
An exchange of perplexed glances ensued between Kaiden and Spencer. What brought Sean to the hospital at
this hour?
“Mr. Scott,” Kaiden addressed Sean politely. “How's Kason? Who's performing the surgery on him? What in the
world happened to him?” Kaiden asked an endless number of questions, but no one answered him.
Spencer slung an arm around Kaiden’s shoulder, his voice lowered to a whisper. “You know the kind of gigs
Kason's into. Perhaps he ran afoul of a job. We'll get the lowdown after the surgery.”
Sean shot Phillip a meaningful look, and the message was received.
“Mr. Kaiden Hayes, we brought Mr. Hayes here. He took a bullet to the leg and was sloshed. For specifics, you'll
have to catch up with Miss Wilson after the surgery,” Phillip replied.

“Wait, is Norah the one operating on Kason?” Kaiden sighed with relief as he realized the important point.
“Norah’s got swizardry with her scalpel. Remember when Joanna landed in the hospital two days back?
Norah led the surgery.”
The Andrews family had kept a lid on the news, so only a handful of people in Glophia were privy to Joanna's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthospitalization and Norah's pivotal role. Sean included.
Furrowing his brow, Sean recalled the day he fetched Norah from her extended shift at the hospital. It turned out
she was there for surgery.
Kaiden slumped onto the bench, weariness etched across his features. “I was on pins and needles when that
message pinged. Thank the stars Norah was around.”
“Are Miss Wilson's medical skills really that remarkable?” Spencer asked, taking a seat next to Kaiden.
“Ask anyone in the Cardiac Surgery Wing about Wilson, and you'll understand her prowess!” Since Norah's
miraculous rescue of him, Kaiden had becher staunchest advocate, singing her praises without reservation.
Spencer hadn't really given much attention to finding out about Norah’s medical expertise when he arrived at
the hospital to show care for Kaiden.
“Really? But isn’t she from the Cardiac Surgery Department? Could she lead surgeries for gunshot wounds?”
Spencer voiced his doubts.
Kaiden rolled his eyes. “You know nothing! Norah's a jack of all trades when it comes to surgery!”
“An ordinary doctor like her? How is she so adept?” Spencer asked, still skeptical.
Spencer poured a bucket of ice water on Kaiden’s enthusiasm. “If she’s got it all figured out, why isn’t she
running the show at a bigger hospital?”
“The path of genius is a winding one. Who knows what's churning in Norah’s mind?” Kaiden nudged Spencer's
shoulder. “Enough with the debate, mate. I'm already on edge!”
“Alright, alright. | won't say anything more,” Spencer shrugged.
Spencer turned to meet Sean's gaze, offering a polite smile as he silently observed him.
The enigmatic Sean, a rare sight, had recently made more appearances at social functions, and it hadn’t gone
unnoticed. Sean of the past was rarely seen outside, limiting interactions to a few select occasions.
Clad in a sleek black shirt and trousers, his sweat-dampened hair framing his features, Sean’s eyes betrayed
turmoil as he silently monitored the surgery room entrance.
Recalling his sister's fervent infatuation with Sean, Spencer pursed his lips. His sister was crazily infatuated with
Sean, so much so that she had returned to the country to work as a secretary at one of Sean’s technology firms
after completing her courses overseas.
Being a secretary seemed like a poor use of her skills on her résumé. Despite counsel from elders, his sister
remained undeterred. Even if Sean seldom graced the office with his presence, she would gladly work there.
Spencer had to hand it to Sean, admitting the latter was one of a kind, not the type to fall head over heels easily.
Spencer reckoned his sister deserved nothing but the best—a top-notch man—but there was no point wasting
ton someone who didn’t have a soft spot for her.
Spencer figured he ought to sit down with his sister for a talk.
Outside the surgery room, everyone's minds were racing, waiting with bated breath until, finally, the lights
flickered off on the door.
Kaiden dashed forward. “Norah, how's Kason doing?”
Norah emerged at a leisurely pace.
“The bullet's out of his thigh, and he’s holding steady. They're moving him to a regular ward. Just ring for the
orderly when you need him taken care of.”
She rattled off instructions with precision. “Others will take over from here. My part's done.”
“Thanks a bunch.”
Norah slipped out of her surgical gear, grabbed her bag, and made her way out of the hospital.
Sean's sleek black car was parked by the entrance, and she resignedly approached, opening the car door. “Give
Norah left her own car close to the Fox Alliance headquarters, and with midnight fast approaching, flagging down
a taxi seemed like a tall order. Fate, however, seemed to have a hand in it, with a certain someone waiting for
her.
“Wipe off the sweat?” Sean passed her a tissue, his tone cool as a cucumber.

Norah kept her head down, not meeting his gaze.
His words from days ago still echoed in her mind. Despite his harshness, here he was—lending a hand,
infiltrating the headquarters with her, and even offering her a ride.
“What brings you to the Fox Alliance neck of the woods?” Norah couldn't resist asking.
Especially at that moment, with him popping up right beside her. It felt almost like he was keeping tabs on her.
“I just happened to be there,” Sean's voice was as smooth as he tried to pass it off as pure chance.
Norah found it fishy, but she couldn't imagine Sean having the tto keep tabs on her, considering how jam-
packed his schedule usually was.
“Right, what a stroke of luck. Anyway, thanks for pitching in to save Kason today.”
“I saved Kason? What's that got to do with you? I'd rather he thankedhimself,” Sean retorted.
Norah's words got caught in her throat. Yeah, she supposed gratitude should cstraight from the horse’s
mouth. Her thanks felt a bit half-baked.
“Alright, sure, Sean. Thanks today,” Norah said. Her deliberate aloofness seemed to rub Sean the wrong way.
“Norah!” Sean called out her name, his tone dead serious.
“Yes?”
“I waited outside that surgery room for almost two hours,” Sean said, his voice steady.
Norah turned to him, her tone icy. “I didn’t ask you to wait for me.”
Phillip gripped the steering wheel tighter, silently praying. Good grief, Norah had guts! Wasn't she scared of
setting him off? Even he had no clue what Sean would do when riled up.
“Yeah, | just wanted to wait for you. | was worried you wouldn't have a ride hafter the surgery and thought
you might be beat after all that work.” Sean turned toward Norah, his words sincere and straight from the heart.
“My feelings for you aren't going anywhere.”
Norah fidgeted with her fingers, her heart racing, but her expression gave nothing away.
“I'll see.”
