Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 19:

“Miss Wilson owns a place in Dreamview Villas, huh? That suggests she’s not as unremarkable as the reports

make her out to be,” Phillip said, holding the door open for Sean.

Stepping out of the car, Sean commented, “There is a lot of false information in those files.” He had initiated a

background check on Norah before the contest, and while he uncovered basic facts, numerous details remained

elusive.

“Should we delve deeper into her background? We could leverage Sacredice’s resources for this purpose,” Phillip

suggested.

Sean gave him a sharp look. “If Sacredice were capable, they'd have located Supernatural Doctor by now.”

Phillip’s forehead dripped with cold sweat. “Well...”

As Sean entered his home, he mused, “She’s accepted the consultation fee. We'll know the truth soon.”

Norah watched the black luxury vehicle fade into the distance, musing to herself as she stepped inside her

home. Sean, despite his intimidating aura, had been a gentleman. She knew he was kind to her because of her

medical expertise.

Meanwhile, Joanna grappled with corporate responsibilities, and Norah prepared for a surgical procedure.

Securing the scalpel from her safe, Norah coordinated with Kason before heading to the Hayes family’s

residence. She had gone in disguise for this trip. She knew Kason wouldn't reveal her identity as Supernatural

Doctor to anyone, but others might do otherwise.

Standing by the door, Kason was surprised to see the butler bringing Norah, bundled up in layers of clothing.

“Where is he?”

With a mask on, Norah spoke, her voice slightly muffled.

“Cwith me.” Kason pushed the heavy door open and ushered Norah inside.

Norah had to pass through security and be checked for weapons before she could enter. Since Norah had been

cleared, Kason didn't ask further.

The room was dimly lit, with a foul odor mixing with the scent of various medicines. It wasn’t a pleasant smell at

all.

Norah frowned, then went to the window and pulled back the white curtains. Sunlight flooded in, and she opened

the window to let in sfresh air.

“Hasn't this room been cleaned? Why hasn't the window been opened?” Norah said. “The air here could make

anyone ill if they stayed too long.”

To give them sprivacy, Kason accompanied Norah by himself. When he heard what she said, he seemed

embarrassed.

“I didn’t do much. It’s mostly the maids who do the work. I'll have a word with them. Just letknow what your

requirements are for the procedure.”

Norah approached the bedside, switched on the light, and scrutinized Devonte closely. His hair and beard had

turned completely gray. Lying there with his eyes shut, his expression showed clear signs of discomfort.

Devonte was nearing a hundred years old, and his lineage extended to a great-grandson.

After a thorough assessment, Norah deduced that Devonte’s declining health was primarily due to his advanced

age affecting his organ functions. She silently observed the side.

When Norah paused, Kason asked, “What do you think?”

Over the years, they had run different kinds of tests, and the results were never good. Devonte’s health was

deteriorating steadily.

Supernatural Doctor was Devonte’s last hope.

Back then, Supernatural Doctor's exceptional medical abilities had gained her international fame. She had even

solved stough cases. Yet, she vanished from public view just as quickly as she had risen to prominence.

Norah outlined Devonte’s health status. “I can’t work miracles. My approach cannot revive his failing organs, but

I'll prescribe medication to ease his discomfort. He could gain up to three more years, but that’s the extent of it.”

She shrugged with a sense of resignation.

Kason, though disheartened, was somewhat relieved. “Even minimal relief from his suffering would be

appreciated.”

Kason provided Norah with a chair, eager to hear the treatment plan in detail.

Despite the availability of pain relief options, their prolonged use could lead to tolerance and further damage to

Devonte’s system. Kason had sought such remedies before, only to see Devonte’s condition worsen.

Kason had put in a lot of effort for Devonte’s condition. He had left the military since he felt the need to tend to

Devonte and support the Hayes family.

Having accepted the consultation fee, Norah disclosed everything Kason needed to know about the treatment

plan. “This is what his family should do. I'll visit monthly for his treatment.”

The duration of Devonte’s life was now as much in his own hands as dependent on the treatment.

“The charge for each session is one hundred thousand dollars. Is that manageable for you?” Norah teased. “If it's

out of your budget, we might consider alternative forms of compensation.”

Upon hearing Norah's playful suggestion, Kason’s expression momentarily stiffened. His intuition, sharpened by

sensitivity, picked up on her probing gaze. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, leaving him momentarily at a loss

for words.

As he turned toward her, their gazes met directly. Norah, on this occasion, had chosen a black dress and a

peaked cap that concealed most of her hair, leaving only her expressive eyes visible. At that moment, those

eyes were alight with intrigue.

“Miss Wilson, do you find something intriguing about me?” Kason asked, unaccustomed to such attention but far

from timid.

Norah thought for a while and replied, “No, we haven't met before.” She was aware that Kason had no

recollection of their past interactions.

Norah then proceeded to unpack her medical supplies and started treating Devonte.

Kason, initially keen to delve deeper, chose instead to remain silent, not wishing to interrupt her work. Observing

her focused demeanor, he decided to step outside, quietly closing the door behind him.

Meanwhile, Madeline, dressed in scanty attire, nestled against Derek on the large bed and said in a sweet voice,

“Derek, my parents will soon return. When might we sit down to discuss our wedding plans?”

Her expression was a mix of sweetness and anticipation for their shared future.

Derek found himself momentarily captivated by her outlook. The realization of his long-held aspiration left him

wondering if this was the happiness he sought.

Two years ago, in a bid to stop Madeline from leaving the country, Derek had rushed to the airport, resulting in a

severe accident that left him unconscious. He spent a year bedridden. Upon awakening, the first face he saw was

Norah's, clad in plain clothes, looking at him with a pleasantly surprised expression.
