Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 55:

Norah was clueless about Sean’s help. After Aikin’s explanation, the hospital staff ceased their whispers about Norah and Aikin, and any admirers for Norah wisely backed off. They weren’t foolish. Understanding that Dr. Wilson had no interest in a relationship, they knew it was time to step back.

On Friday, Norah was ready to put an end to her ongoing divorce procedures. She planned to meet Derek at City Hall at nine in the morning. After the divorce, her agenda included visits to both the Scott family’s residence and the Hayes family’s residence later in the day.

Norah hesitated to accept a long-term care patient. The commitment demanded more time than she was willing to spare.

Waiting at City Hall, Norah was prepared. If Derek failed to show, she was determined to confront him directly at his workplace. She refused to be taken for a fool.

The day was bright, and the air conditioning inside offered a respite from the heat. Dressed in white and seated near the entrance, Norah naturally drew gazes from passersby. People were drawn to beauty, a simple truth of human nature.

An unread email lingered on Norah’s phone. As she was about to open it, Derek’s voice broke the silence, yelling, “Norah, you’re quite punctual! Eager for our divorce, aren’t you?”

Norah turned off her phone’s screen and slipped it into her bag. Looking up, she noticed Derek with Madeline clinging to his arm.

“Ah, Mr. Carter, planning a divorce and a wedding on the same day? My best wishes. However, let’s handle one matter at a time. Miss Powell, would you mind waiting aside?” Norah was indifferent to Madeline’s existence. Her priority was finalizing the divorce swiftly to distance herself from them permanently.

“Seems you’re in a hurry, Miss Wilson. Are you here by yourself? Where’s Mr. Hayes or Mr. Scott? Didn’t they accompany you?” Madeline mocked.

Norah replied sharply, “I don’t need an escort to get a divorce.” She glanced at Madeline and added, “And how is my divorce any of their concern?”
