Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 330:

“Well, everything went well,” Norah replied.

Kaiden and Spencer lingered by Kason’s bedside, silent observers of Norah and Kason’s conversation. For Kaiden, the pang of remorse gnawed at him once more. Had he only realized the depth of Kason’s feelings for Norah sooner, perhaps he could have offered his support. After all, with Norah’s exceptional qualities, she was deemed the perfect wife for Kason.

It was a rare sight for Kaiden to witness Kason treating a woman with such genuine affection. Addressing Norah as Nora, it was evident that this was a nickname imbued with fondness. Unfortunately, despite Kason’s evident regard for Norah, their relationship remained confined to friendship.

Norah’s treatment for Devonte had concluded before her journey to Otland. With Devonte’s health stabilized, her mission had reached its conclusion. Despite the weighty gazes from Kaiden and Spencer, Norah approached Kason with a soft-spoken tone, her words laden with professionalism. “Your grandpa is showing promising signs of recovery. Please transfer the follow-up fee to my card.”

As Norah spoke, Kason felt a twinge of sorrow tugging at his heartstrings.

Even though the treatment had concluded, the chasm between him and Norah seemed to be widening. Suppressing the ache in his chest, he managed a resigned nod. “Alright.” He was always one step behind.

“Nora…” Kason whispered.

Norah, who was about to leave, paused mid-stride and turned back to face Kason, her brows furrowed in confusion. Kason, reclining on the bed, possessed striking features that captivated the eye. He was handsome, with defined eyebrows, a distinguished nose, and lips that bordered on perfection. Emotions flickered in his eyes, a tempest barely contained before he willed himself back to an outward calmness.

“Nothing… See you next time.” His throat felt like sandpaper, words trapped within his parched mouth, unable to escape.

“Alright then. I’ll be back to work tomorrow. Feel free to call me if you need anything.” Norah graciously smiled and nodded at Spencer and Kaiden. “Spencer, Kaiden, take care. I’m heading out now.”

As the door clicked shut behind Norah, Kason felt as though his heart had sealed itself off as well. Emotions surged within him, causing the veins on his arms to stand out starkly. Deep down, he longed to confess his love to Norah. But it was too late.

“Kaiden, could you please give me some space? I need to be alone for a while.”noveldrama

“And make sure to close the door behind you. I think I’ll try to get some more sleep,” Kason requested, his voice muffled by the blanket he pulled over his head.

With a heavy sigh, Kaiden understood that Kason was ensnared by love, trapped in its tumultuous embrace. “Okay.”

In Joanna’s ward, Darwin and Raina had bid their farewells and departed. Before leaving, Bryson said to Norah, “Glamour Club is planning an event recently. Two bands will be performing. It’s bound to be quite the spectacle. You should consider taking Alice along for the experience.”

“Alright.” With plans forming in her mind, Norah anticipated a night of revelry at the nightclub. The Glamour Club boasted an ambiance far superior to that of the Flame Club, making it the ideal destination to showcase Glophia’s top-tier entertainment to Alice.

Once Bryson and Duncan took their leave, only Norah and Alice remained in Joanna’s ward. Norah and Joanna engaged in conversation with Alice. Joanna, eager for gossip, couldn’t contain her anticipation as she prodded Norah for details about her relationship with Sean. Alice, too, was intrigued by the love story between Norah and Sean.

Norah began to recount the details to them. As the story unfolded, Joanna’s face lit up with unbridled excitement. “I knew it! The way Mr. Scott gazes at you, it’s like he’s wearing his heart on his sleeve!” she exclaimed, unable to contain her enthusiasm.

Had Joanna known about Norah’s intimate involvement with Sean, her excitement would have been even more pronounced. Alice chimed in, “Exactly! Every time you two are together, his eyes are always on you.”

It dawned on Norah that Sean had been paying close attention to her and taking her seriously, even when she hadn’t been consciously aware of it. It was clear that Sean cared deeply about her. From the moment they had confirmed their relationship, he had been consumed by thoughts of her. He had even made a habit of sending her morning and evening messages to greet her and keep her informed of his plans for the day.
