Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 23:

“Miss Wilson, may I know when you plan to visit the Scott family’s residence?” Phillip asked.

On the phone, Norah quickly pieced together that Sean was behind the question.

“How does nine in the morning tomorrow sound? Could you share the address with me? I’ll make sure to be there on time,” Norah replied.

“Of course. Thank you, Miss Wilson,” Phillip responded.

Norah ended the call, and Gil strolled in, sporting a delighted expression.

“Norah, I’ve had a chat with the higher-ups. They’re ready for you to start this week. You’ll be in the neurosurgery department, your area of expertise, and I’ll support you in the surgeries,” Gil said with a sigh. “This brings back memories of the surgeries we tackled together. There’s still so much I need to grasp.” He glanced at the stack of files and asked, “Have you finished going through these files? Do you have any insights to share?”

“Honestly, Gil, I’m gearing up to treat this patient. Initially, my knowledge was limited to her leukemia, but now I’ve gathered more comprehensive information,” Norah said openly to Gil. “I’ve reviewed the files. She experienced a relapse of leukemia after the transplant. It’s a complicated situation.”

The file in Norah’s hand belonged to Susanna Scott, a young member of the Scott family.

Gil reacted with surprise. “You’re acquainted with the Scott family? Susanna, that poor girl… She was diagnosed with leukemia as a child and was under my care back then. She seemed to recover after the transplant, but her condition has worsened.”

Pensively stroking his beard, Gil turned to Norah and asked, “Given your extensive research on leukemia, do you think there’s another way to help her?”

After a pause, Norah proposed, “What about another transplant? It seems her body could handle it. Maybe she could go through chemotherapy and then undergo another transplant?”

Gil shook his head. “Her immune system is fragile. She faced severe infections following her last chemotherapy session.”

Sipping his coffee, he continued, “You have a great mind in medicine, coming up with innovative treatment approaches. Any other ideas for Susanna’s treatment?”

hesitated before responding. “I’m not sure yet. I’ll need to assess her during the consultation.” Norah believed a direct evaluation was necessary to fully understand her condition, as medical records only painted
