Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 58:

A deathly silence fell over the living room at Susanna’s words. Norah's expression shifted to reflect her tension.

She was torn between wanting to hear Sean’s response and fearing something unfavorable.

Susanna was unaware of Norah's identity as the Supernatural Doctor and was simply stating her candid opinion.

Sean, however, knew that Norah was the Supernatural Doctor.

Having heard Susanna’s description of Sean’s behavior, Norah was eager to learn Sean's true opinion of her. This

would determine her relationship with him for the next two months.

“Sean, did you hear? Why aren’t you saying anything?” Susanna asked aloud. “You can speak freely now that

only | and the Supernatural Doctor are here.”

When Susanna first met the Supernatural Doctor, she felt a strange connection between the two, but their

limited interactions made it difficult for her to properly discern what it was. Later, when Sean carried Norah back,

Susanna guessed Sean had feelings for her. Wanting to subtly inform the Supernatural Doctor of this, Susanna

had intentionally asked about it.

After waiting for a while for a response that never came, Susanna began to urge Sean, eager to know his

thoughts about Norah. If Sean confessed his feelings for Norah, Susanna decided she would speak good words

for him in front of her.

“I appreciate Miss Wilson, nothing more,” Sean said.

Susanna was dissatisfied with this answer. “What's this talk about appreciating her?”

“Her? | just need to know if you have feelings for her. Is that such a hard thing to answer?” Susanna pressed.

Norah, however, sighed in relief at his response. Appreciation wasn’t bad. She also appreciated Sean. He had

taken over the well-reputable Scott family business and flourished it, with the family’s stock market value

reaching billions. Plus, Sean was not only a skilled businessman but also a talented race car driver.

She couldn't help but admire all these qualities in him. He was quite an interesting man. If Norah had found out

that Sean had romantic feelings for her, it might have led her to distance herself from him, thus discouraging

him.

The good thing was, Sean only appreciated her, which reduced any unnecessary troubles.

Coldly, Sean said, “Why bother with my feelings all of a sudden? Just focus on the treatment, could you?”

Norah felt Susanna was such a lovely creature. With Susanna’s questions and Sean’s answers, she learned that

Sean only appreciated her, which was good news. Norah was quite pleased with this. She also appreciated Sean.

It seemed that mutual respect between two powerful individuals was quite normal.

Susanna pouted and said, “Look at you. You're at this age, yet there's no glimmer of marriage on your horizon.

Since our parents aren't around, can’t | give you a little push in the right direction? | think Norah is a wonderful

person. Why don’t you consider her?”

Norah blushed slightly and interrupted, “Miss Scott, I'll change your prescription today.”

“I'll write it down for Mr. Scott after the treatment. You have to be mindful of your diet. Keep it light.”

Susanna nodded. “I understand.”

“Thank you, Supernatural Doctor,” Sean said.

Norah had felt quite uneasy when Susanna asked her questions. However, her relief cfrom the fact that

Sean didn’t have any romantic feelings for her.

Norah wrote the prescription and placed it on the table before standing up, preparing to bid her farewell. Despite

hesitating for a moment, Norah eventually agreed to Susanna’s invitation to stay for dinner.

Susanna beamed. “Alright then. Ill be going hnow. Goodbye, Sean. Goodbye, Supernatural Doctor. Take

good care of Sean.”

Sean and Norah took their seats at the dining table. Norah removed her mask and placed it on the side. She then

looked at Sean sitting across from her.

Sean was dressed in light gray hattire. His cold demeanor seemed to soften a bit as he lifted the wine bottle

and elegantly poured himself a glass.

“Letknow if you need anything, Miss Wilson,” Sean said, raising his glass toward Norah. “Homemade food is

a bit simpler than what you find outside.”

Norah shook her head. “I don’t need anything else for now.”

The dishes on the table were exquisite, emitting a pleasant fragrance. Starving, Norah picked up her fork and

began to eat.

Sean stared intently at Norah, his finger lightly resting on his wine glass. He observed her carefully, a hint of

interest in his eyes.

Leaving the Scott family’s home, Norah finally felt the odd atmosphere dissipate. During dinner, she kept her

head down, occasionally conversing with Sean. However, the questions Susanna had asked still lingered in her

mind, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.

“Is something bothering you, Miss Wilson?” Kason asked.

Inside Devonte’s room, Kason stood in the doorway, exuding a powerful presence with just his stance. He looked

tall and imposing, and the light accentuated his figure, making him appear even more handsome.

Norah stared at him, her heart beating rapidly, and replied coldly.

“I've noticed you've been distracted today, Miss Wilson. Am | wrong?” Kason asked, his expression thoughtful.

He assumed she was distracted because of his grandfather's condition.

“You are quite observant, Mr. Hayes. However, I'd rather not talk about it,” Norah said as she lowered her gaze.

She was surprised that someone like Kason, a military man known for his emotional detachment, could tell

something was bothering her.

Leaning against the doorway, Kason watched as Norah administered treatment to his grandfather.

“I haven't seen you since we parted at the Clamour Club. How have you been, Miss Wilson? | heard you joined

the Silver Boulder Private Hospital. Is everything going well with your work?”

“Everything is fine,” Norah replied without stopping her movements as she administered the treatment.

“That's good. You've helped the Hayes family a lot, Miss Wilson. If there's ever anything the Hayes family can

assist you with, feel free to ask.”

“Thank you, Mr. Hayes,” she replied politely.

However, as Norah thought about the stirring emotions she had just experienced, she couldn't help but add, “I

hope you stand by your promise if | choose to hold you to your word, Mr. Hayes.”

“Kason Hayes, | am a man of my word. | will keep my promise,” Kason said solemnly.

Now that Kason had promised to keep his word, Norah couldn't help but think about Derek's words earlier that

morning. She regretted having married a man like him. Sungrateful men like Derek wouldn't even blink, no

matter what the favor was. The fact that Derek had been reluctant to honor what he had offered once he learned

of her wealth reshaped her perception of him.
