Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 46:

The fleeting moment of romance was interrupted by Norah’s straightforward words. She faced Sean and stated earnestly, “Without your quick reflexes, I would have been nursing bruises for days. I think I’ll sit up front next time.”

“What? Are you aiming to be my bodyguard?” Sean couldn’t help but ask, trying to settle his racing pulse.

“I wouldn’t dare presume so!” Norah averted her gaze, too shy to meet Sean’s eyes again, worried about repeating such an encounter.

Despite her confident approach with Kason, Norah had only once harbored feelings for one man—Derek. But perhaps it wasn’t so much feelings as an inability to let go of her attachment to him.

Sean sought to divert the conversation. “How’s the new job treating you? Is everything going smoothly?”

“It’s going well!” Norah replied. No surgeries from the Cardiac Surgery Department had been placed in Norah’s hands by Jamison yet, but Norah had assisted Gil in numerous surgeries in the Neurosurgery Department.

Not one for unnecessary chatter, Norah, recalling the awkwardness of their earlier interaction, felt her cheeks warm and chose to remain silent.

As she had fallen into Sean’s embrace moments earlier, Norah could distinctly feel his masculinity. His chest muscles were firm and tense. Norah was convinced he had training, given how firmly he held her.

The rest of the ride passed in silence.

Once home, Norah prepared a bath, scattering rose petals in the water. Stepping in, she sank into the warmth of the water, resting in the bathtub and contemplating her recent decisions.

She planned to expedite Devonte’s treatment to conclude her visits to the Hayes family within a month. After that, she would leave matters to fate. As for Susanna, she wanted to switch her treatment schedule from every other week to once a week. Once Susanna was nearing recovery, she would undergo chemotherapy and a transplant at the hospital, wrapping up her treatment. It would take at most a month and a half.
