Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 114

Chapter 114:

After Joanna got back home, she didn’t even take a moment to sit down. Instead, she made her way directly to Silver Boulder Private Hospital.

By then, it seemed that Norah was still buried in her work. It had been quite a while, more than a couple of weeks, since Joanna had last laid eyes on her. The absence had left Joanna feeling quite lonesome.

“Go back and cherish the remaining moments with your father,” the doctor added.

“That’s all you can do?” the doctor added, his voice heavy with a false sense of compassion.

The man, in a state of utter desperation, clung to the doctor’s legs, sobbing, “Doctor, please, my dad can still be saved. I beg of you, don’t give up.”

The doctor, unmoved, freed himself from the man’s grip. “I’m sorry, but I have other responsibilities…”
