Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 72:

At that moment, Phillip, who was standing to the side, covered his mouth, coughed, and then turned away.

“These are conversations you shouldn't be getting involved in,” Sean said, his voice awkward.

Susanna raised an eyebrow and took two steps toward Sean, asking, “So you're hiding your relationship with

Norah frombecause you think I'm still a kid? What's the point of hiding it from me?”

Just as Sean opened his mouth to respond, Norah, dressed in a long crimson chiffon dress, cdown and

interrupted. “Why are you guys talking in hush voices? Is it about something secret?”

Seeing Norah, Susanna’s eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly walked up to Norah, asking, “Last night, you

slept in Sean’s room, right? Should | assyou'd be my sister-in-law?”

Turning to face Sean, Susanna smiled mischievously and continued, “I was just having a conversation with Sean

about this topic.”

Hearing all this, Norah's cheeks burned bright red. She should have known that Susanna would cto such

conclusions. But as she thought about what had happened the previous night, Norah looked down and tried to

explain, “Actually, | slept in the guest room last night. So, your idea of where I slept is wrong. Anyway, | have to

hit the road or I'll be late for work. You guys should keep on.”

Having survived Susanna’s teasing, Norah had becresistant to Susanna’s playful remarks and didn’t mind

them much. But facing Sean was an entirely different case. Psychologically, she wasn’t comfortable around him.

Waving her hand, Susanna left the duo alone. As Norah walked away, she stared at the pink bunny slippers on

Norah's feet, pouted her lips, and called out, “Hurry up! Or you'll be late for work.”

Once Norah was gone, Susanna turned to face Sean and said unhappily, “I had been wondering who you wanted

to give those bunny slippers to the moment | saw them. And now it turns out you bought them for Norah. Why

didn’t you bother to get a pair for me? It’s not fair!”

“I thought Phillip arranged a pair of slippers for you,” Sean replied as he headed to the kitchen, hungry for a

sandwich.

Susanna rolled her eyes and followed him, saying, “What Phillip arranged foris different from what you

arranged for Norah. By the way, didn’t you notice the way she eagerly clarified where she slept? She’s always

quick to downplay her relationship with you. Could it be because she doesn’t like you?”

She paused for a moment as she seemed to be deep in thought. Stroking her chin, she looked at Sean, her eyes

filled with determination, and continued, “But don’t let this weigh you down! I'll see to it that your unrequited

love gets reciprocated. One way or another, I'm going to make sure Norah falls in love with you.”

Hearing this, Sean raised both his eyebrows at the excited Susanna and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

As Norah walked out of the courtyard gate, she began to ponder whether to drive hfirst or head directly to

Silver Boulder Private Hospital. Suddenly, Phillip’s voice called out from behind, interrupting her thoughts. “Miss

Wilson, just a moment, please.”

“Phillip, how can | help you?” Norah turned around and asked.

“It's about the police, Miss Wilson. | forgot to tell you that they might need you to put down your statement

today.” Norah nodded slightly and unconsciously clenched her left hand. With a straight face, she asked, “And

what should | tell them?”

Phillip, looking collected, replied, “Well, Miss Wilson, just tell them that it was infighting and that you and Mr.

Hayes were extremely lucky to have escaped. All in all, it shouldn't take much of your time. You'll be in and out

before you know it.”

“Alright. You can just dropoff at the hospital's entrance,” Norah said, letting out a sigh of relief. Phillip must

have handled the scene exceptionally well.

Norah's previous job had been to eliminate targets for the organization, and she had done that countless times,

always managing to evade the police no matter how tight the situation was. She was an expert at leaving no

breadcrumbs behind and cleaning up traces. She couldn't help but wonder how Phillip had cleared everything

up.

A little while later, they arrived at the entrance of Silver Boulder Private Hospital. As she got out of the car,

Norah adjusted her dress and said to Phillip, “Extend my thanks to Mr. Scott.”

At that moment, someone took a picture of the scene and sent it to the chat group of Silver Boulder Private

Hospital. But within a minute, the picture was quickly retracted.

“Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing? That car is the definition of luxury.”

“It’s worth over a million! And she’s wearing a dress worth tens of thousands! These rich people are way beyond

our league! They are the definition of royalty!”

“Correctif I'm wrong, but isn’t the woman in the picture Dr. Wilson?”

“Her beauty is unlike any I've ever seen. In fact, Dr. Wilson is hands down the most beautiful doctor in the

hospital. No one even comes close! But, | didn’t expect her to be so rich. Just look at her clothing—it screams

luxury! And don’t getstarted on the car. To be frank, | don’t think the monthly salary that the hospital pays

her could even cover the price of that bag she’s carrying. | looked it up just now—it’s a thirty-thousand-dollar

bag! She is freaking rich!”

“Honestly, | doubt if such a luxury car is hers. And her high-end dress was probably gifted to her by a rich

person. By the way, since Dr. Wilson arrived at Silver Boulder Private Hospital, besides providing sassistance

to Gil in a few surgeries, she doesn’t seem to have much to do in the Cardiac Surgery Department, right?”

“I work in the Cardiac Surgery Department, and | can tell you that Dr. Wilson simply writes up cases in the

department every day. Since she came, she hasn't had a single chance to carry out full surgery.”

The group members were all excited about Norah, and a flood of messages kept coming in as they discussed her.

As Norah, now dressed in a white coat, walked into the department, she caught, out of the corner of her eye,

Jolie and Baylor glancing at her.

Confused, she wondered if something major had happened in her absence.

Swallowing hard, Jolie approached Norah and noticed the high-end luxury brand dress she was wearing under

the white coat. It was exactly the sone she had seen at the Splendor Building, worth exactly one hundred

and eighty thousand!

As Norah took her seat, she looked up at Jolie and asked, “Can you tellwhy you and Baylor are looking at me

like that? It's not like I'm late, right? Or did Jamison say something?”

Baylor shook his head. “Dr. Wilson, did you join the chat group of Silver Boulder Private Hospital when you

arrived?”

“No,” Norah simply replied. For her, chat groups were just gossip and a source of headaches. Since she had used

Akin’s account to send those pictures to the group, she hadn't heard anything from them since.

After being lectured by Norah, Akin had been avoiding her, and other curious doctors around the hospital didn’t

approach her but simply observed her cautiously. So far, her tat the hospital had been uneventful. A chat

group, at best, would just be another experience to endure.

“Wow, the dress you're wearing looks exactly like a dress from Is’s wardrobe. In fact, | think it costs one hundred

and eighty thousand, right?” Jolie asked cautiously.

Norah shook her head and replied honestly, “I don’t know where it cfrom. Someone gave it toas a gift.”

Hearing this, Jolie and Baylor glanced at each other knowingly. So that was it—Dr. Wilson had someone who

cared enough to give her such an expensive gift.

“Can you guys spill the beans already? What's going on?” Norah asked irritably, lowering her eyes as she began

to organize her desk.

“Well, when you were dropped off this morning by a luxury car, someone took a picture of you and posted it in

the chat group for a moment. Now everyone is claiming that you're either the lover of swealthy person, or

you're just a mistress to a married man whose family you're trying to wreck,” Baylor explained, giving a detailed

rundown of the chat group’s speculation about Norah.

Jolie blinked and took a few steps back, saying softly, “I only asked you about the dress because | had seen it

before at the Splendor Building. | didn’t know it was a gift.”

Realizing that the duo had misunderstood, Norah interrupted Jolie's rambling. “The car is simply that of a friend,

and | had no idea where the dress cfrom. Also, I'm not a mistress.”

Jolie nodded and chuckled awkwardly. “Of course, you're not. Though, the way they were talking about you being

a mistress, one would think they caught you red-handed. They're just jealous of your beauty and seek to damage

your image.”

“So what? Should | becugly?” Norah asked coldly.

Jolie shook her head and hands vigorously. “That’s not what | mean. I'm just trying to say, if your beauty makes

them jealous, that’s their problem, not yours.”
