Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 128:

“Those are groundless accusations.” Norah's voice was icy as she declared, “I've proven my worth in medicine.

Who are you to claim | took shortcuts?”

Gil rose to his feet, looking serious. “Sir, | vouch for Dr. Wilson. I'm well aware of her talents. She’s not just skilled

in cardiology, but also highly respected in neurology. Her skills are top-notch!”

Jamison joined in. “Yes, Dr. Wilson is truly remarkable. I've brought a collection of her cardiology surgery videos

for your review.”

Jamison placed a USB drive on the desk and added, “We're all medical professionals here. You can judge for

yourselves if she’s qualified.”

Norah remained standing, her posture regal. She brushed a lock of hair behind her ear with cool indifference,

stating, “If you're considering strippingof my title over sbaseless accusations, I'm not going to let that

happen.”

The four vice directors exchanged whispers, while the director at the head of the table took a moment to think.

He plugged the USB into his computer and played a surgery video at random.

Norah's surgical precision, steady hands, and the smooth flow of the operation made a strong impression on

everyone watching.

Then the director inquired, “How many research papers have you written?”

Norah was deep in thought, looking down.

She had published most of her work under the alias “Supernatural Doctor,” unsure of the exact number of

papers bearing her real name, Norah.

With ten publications to her name, it was clear that Norah had a promising career ahead in the medical field.

Norah turned to Gil, surprised that he remembered details about her that even she had forgotten. Catching Gil’s

gaze, she couldn't help but smile. She felt valued by him, sensing his genuine desire for her to remain and

flourish in the medical profession.

The director took a moment before responding. “Okay, | get it.”

He acknowledged that the accusations in the anonymous letter were baseless, recognizing Norah's exceptional

talent. “We'll hold off on the promotion decision for now and continue gathering information. If you're truly

capable, you'll get what you deserve.”

The director had led Silver Boulder Private Hospital for years and could tell at a glance whether Norah had been

hired for her connections or her skills, just by reviewing her file.

“Thanks,” Norah replied, maintaining her composure. She gave a small nod, smiling at Gil and Jamison before

leaving the office.

Right after Norah stepped out, Gil couldn’t contain his frustration. “Sir, I've told you before, Norah’s medical

abilities are second to none. She's just applying for an attending physician role. Why make things tough for her?”

The director glanced around his office before responding, “Gil, | trust your judgment, but | have to convince

everyone else. We've got vice directors here. If | promote her just because you say so, it'll look like we're feeding

into those rumors about her.”

It was a tricky spot for the director, especially with whispers going around that Gil was the one pulling strings for

Norah.

Gil's face turned red. He faced the vice directors and declared, “I did recommend Norah, but believe me, she’s

more than qualified. She shouldn't just be an attending physician. She could easily lead a department.”

Jamison, frustrated, cut in, “What's that supposed to mean, Gil?”

“I'm not saying you don’t deserve your job! I've been with Silver Boulder for a long time, and | take my work

seriously. Norah's skills are unmatched here. There's nobody else in the hospital on her level,” Gil remarked

earnestly.

Gil’s statement was bold, prompting one of the directors to challenge him. “If Dr. Wilson is as talented as you

say, why would she choose Silver Boulder? Surely, she had better opportunities elsewhere.”

Gil knew that Norah had accepted his invitation to work at Silver Boulder Private Hospital because he had

personally asked her. He understood that with her skills, Norah could have chosen any hospital. Yet, Gil couldn't

let anyone know that Norah was the Supernatural Doctor.

“Wilson is exceptionally skilled. Her decision to join us at Silver Boulder Private Hospital was influenced by my

personal invitation. She prefers to stay under the radar and doesn’t talk about her other roles.”

Gil's explanation made everyone in the office more curious about Norah's real identity.

Jamison, looking intrigued, asked, “Gil, who is Dr. Wilson really? She’s outstanding in the operating room. It's rare

to see someone so young with such advanced skills.”

“Judging someone's skill level by their age is pointless. Age does not determine capabilities,” Gil replied

earnestly. He was referring to Norah's real identity, aware of her notable achievements and knowing she was

considered a prodigy in the medical world.

The director nodded and said, “Alright, Gil. | get what you mean, but we've got to stick to the rules. We're all

here, and we need you to explain things to us.”

“Exactly, we can’t just make exceptions for her because Gil recommended her. Other doctors hoping for a

promotion would definitely have something to say about that,” one of the directors added.

“We've got to look over all the paperwork before we can make a decision. Otherwise, how can we be sure that

Dr. Wilson wasn’t brought in through special means by Gil?”

“What are you getting at?” Gil snapped back, clearly upset.

Jamison grabbed Gil’s arm, trying to calm him down. “Gil, don’t lose your cool. We all know Dr. Wilson's got the

skills. Let them do their thing, and it'll all work out. Let's go, sir, we're heading out.”

Gil stared at the smug faces of the leadership, itching to spill the beans about Norah's real identity. But for

Norah's sake, he kept quiet about her being the Supernatural Doctor.

He left with Jamison, fuming.

Gil grumbled to himself, “So many hospitals would kill to have Norah, and here Silver Boulder Private Hospital is,

playing hardball over an attending physician spot.”

Walking alongside Gil, Jamison couldn't help but ask,

Who is she?”

Gil shot him a cautious glance and replied, “Don’t dig for information from me. I've got things to do.”

Jamison watched him walk away, muttering to himself, “No matter how skilled she is, could she really match the

Supernatural Doctor? And speaking of which, the Supernatural Doctor hasn't shown up on the international

scene recently. Quite curious about the Supernatural Doctor's whereabouts.”

After her meeting in the office, Norah decided to visit Kason first, thinking she might end up having a long chat

with Joanna later on. On her way to Kason’s room, Norah ran into Spencer.

“Norah, what a coincidence,” Spencer greeted her, remembering her from the previous night when he saw Sean

waiting outside the operating room until the surgery was over.

He asked, “Do you know Mr. Scott? He spent hours waiting outside the operating room until the operation was

over. | don’t think he was there for Kason. He was probably waiting for you, wasn’t he?”
