Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 22:

“Leave the medical records on the table, please. That’s all. You may step out now.” Gil Davies had assumed it was the nurse delivering the documents and spoke without looking up.

When Gil noticed the door remained open, he glanced up, greeting the visitor with a surprised but welcoming smile.

“Well, Gil,” Norah replied, her smile warm.

Gil had been an early mentor to Norah during her medical studies. As her expertise outpaced his, the roles had reversed, and he became the learner.

“It’s been a while since you’ve been around. Everyone knows Supernatural Doctor vanished from the public eye two years ago. I heard marriage took you away from your profession.” Gil set aside the files and invited Norah to sit, offering her drinks.

“What brings you here after so long? Do you still remember an old friend like me?” Gil presented Norah with the drinks, encouraging her to enjoy them.

Norah, taking a sip of the drink, shared indifferently, “I’m still here, Gil.”

Gil, taken aback, studied Norah closely and said, “Did it end…?”

Norah was the youngest student Gil had ever taught, displaying remarkable medical talent. He witnessed her rise to become a renowned doctor worldwide. She was a role model admired by many in the medical community.

However, two years ago, Norah had set aside her career to get married.

She disappeared from the spotlight, and no one had heard anything about her since then.

Seeing Norah today, Gil was somewhat shocked by the revelation that she was single again. He worried that she might still be hung up on her ex-husband. He had witnessed countless women who were depressed because of divorce.

Observing Gil’s concern, Norah reassured him with a smile, “I’m doing alright.”

Gil sighed in relief and said, “Norah, I may not fully grasp what you’ve gone through, nor do I have the right words of comfort, but what’s done is done. What’s your plan moving forward?”

Norah pondered for a moment before replying, “I haven’t decided yet.”

Gil, suspecting that her hiatus might have impacted her career prospects, reminded her, “Do you remember our conversation years ago? I suggested you join Silver Boulder Private Hospital. The invitation still stands.” He earnestly added, “Your talent in medicine is too valuable to go to waste.”

Norah paused, recalling Gil’s previous advice. She had plenty of talents but wasn’t sure what to do with them. But since he had suggested it, it didn’t sound like a bad idea. She smiled and said, “Okay.”

Gil had wanted to continue persuading her but was taken aback by her swift agreement. He asked, “Really? You’re okay with it?”

“If you still think I fit the role.”

Embracing the notion of being an everyday physician appealed to Norah.

That way, she wouldn’t have to handle the spotlight of being Supernatural Doctor. She could just focus on treating ordinary people.

Gil’s face lit up with excitement, and he said, “That’s fantastic! While you’re here, could you check this particular case for me? We’ve been at a loss on who to consult, and I’m eager to see how much of your expertise you’ve retained.”

Gil grabbed a case from the table and placed it in Norah’s hand. “Take your time. I’ll go chat with the doctors.” With that, he dashed off without waiting for Norah’s response.noveldrama

Norah chuckled. Gil was always so spontaneous. Once he made up his mind, he almost acted on it immediately. Norah examined the case file and noted that the patient’s name seemed familiar, prompting her to review the details with focused attention.

Meanwhile, at the Hayes residence, Kason invited Sean into the living room, instructing the servants to grab drinks.

“Mr. Scott, it’s quite rare to have you visit,” Kason noted.

Sean had been quiet ever since. Seeing this, Kason couldn’t resist asking. Sean had been searched before he stepped into the villa. If there wasn’t anything urgent, Kason couldn’t figure out why Sean had come.

There shouldn’t be any friendship between the Hayes family and the Scott family. The Scott family was prestigious in Glophia.

The Hayes family, primarily military, rarely interacted with the Scott family except at social events. Kason had recently taken charge of the Hayes family and hadn’t yet fully mastered the codes and rules of such gatherings. He was still finding his way.

Sean, on the other hand, had taken control of the Scott family when he turned twenty. Before that, there had never been any news about his upbringing. Despite being older than Sean, Kason acknowledged the respect.

Sean lifted his gaze and regarded Kason calmly. “I’m concerned about your grandfather’s health. Can’t you come by and check on him?”

Kason replied evenly, “Of course not. However, my grandfather has just settled into sleep. It seems a conversation with him will have to wait another day.” Kason was uncertain if Sean knew Norah’s identity as Supernatural Doctor, so he chose not to bring it up.

Sean asked, “What did Supernatural Doctor diagnose after she checked on Devonte?”

“Pretty similar to what other physicians have indicated. However, Supernatural Doctor administered some treatments to alleviate his discomfort,” Kason said, without going into further detail.

Sean nodded in acknowledgment, saying, “That’s reassuring. I’ll take my leave now. I’ll pay another visit when he’s more receptive to visitors. No need to accompany me out.”

Rising to his feet, Sean’s imposing presence became even more evident. Standing face-to-face with Kason, there was a palpable tension between them.

Kason, sensing something off about Sean’s demeanor, wondered about the cause of his unusual behavior. After departing from the Hayes family residence, Sean instructed Phillip, “Get in touch with Norah. I need to know when she can visit the Scott family’s residence.” Two members of the Scott family needed treatment, but Norah had chosen to attend to Kason’s grandfather first.

Reflecting on her determined posture, Sean couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

Phillip promptly dialed Norah’s number and asked.

When Phillip called, Norah had just finished reviewing the case details Gil had provided. She cleared her throat and picked up the phone, saying, “Hey, Phillip, what’s going on?”
