Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 124:

Sean’s mind became a whirlwind of thoughts, pondering the significance of Kason to Norah, compelling her to gamble her life to rescue him.

“Quick, dial up the police and let them know Mr. Hayes is holed up at Silver Boulder Private Hospital,” Sean instructed.

“Got it.”

Kaiden dashed to the hospital, breathless, to find Sean, who exuded an air of dignity, seated pensively on a nearby bench. Sean seemed a shade different from his usual distant self, a touch subdued.

Following close behind, Spencer greeted Sean with a nod. “Mr. Scott.”

An exchange of perplexed glances ensued between Kaiden and Spencer. What brought Sean to the hospital at this hour?

“Mr. Scott,” Kaiden addressed Sean politely. “How’s Kason? Who’s performing the surgery on him? What in the world happened to him?” Kaiden asked an endless number of questions, but no one answered him.

Spencer slung an arm around Kaiden’s shoulder, his voice lowered to a whisper. “You know the kind of gigs Kason’s into. Perhaps he ran afoul of a job. We’ll get the lowdown after the surgery.”

Sean shot Phillip a meaningful look, and the message was received.

“Mr. Kaiden Hayes, we brought Mr. Hayes here. He took a bullet to the leg and was sloshed. For specifics, you’ll have to catch up with Miss Wilson after the surgery,” Phillip replied.

“Wait, is Norah the one operating on Kason?” Kaiden sighed with relief as he realized the important point. “Norah’s got some wizardry with her scalpel. Remember when Joanna landed in the hospital two days back? Norah led the surgery.”

The Andrews family had kept a lid on the news, so only a handful of people in Glophia were privy to Joanna’s hospitalization and Norah’s pivotal role. Sean included.

Furrowing his brow, Sean recalled the day he fetched Norah from her extended shift at the hospital. It turned out she was there for surgery.

Kaiden slumped onto the bench, weariness etched across his features. “I was on pins and needles when that message pinged. Thank the stars Norah was around.”

“Are Miss Wilson’s medical skills really that remarkable?” Spencer asked, taking a seat next to Kaiden.
