Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 130:

Even though Joanna knew that Duncan only had her best interests at heart, she still felt somewhat aggrieved.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, “Back when the incident occurred, I intended to save that innocent child and overpower the crazy man who held the knife. But in the end, my efforts were futile, and I almost lost my life, while the crazy man chose to end his own.”

Duncan had always been strict with his students when it came to discipline and hard work, but seeing Joanna so heartbroken, he couldn’t bring himself to be his usual harsh self.

He softened his voice. “I’m not saying these things just to scold you. I want you to be able to protect yourself. When I heard that you were hurt badly, I felt that the training I urged you to go through hadn’t been enough. I regret not training you better.”

Joanna choked on her sobs and replied, “It’s not like that… It’s just… it’s because I’m not skilled enough. It had nothing to do with—”

Norah couldn’t help but glance at Duncan. Apart from being Joanna’s coach, Duncan was also a retired famous mercenary abroad. Norah realized that not only did Duncan possess a strong physique and impressive abilities, but he also seemed to care deeply about Joanna.

Duncan sighed in resignation. “By the way, doctor, how is her condition?”

Seizing the opportunity, Joanna quickly introduced the two of them. “Duncan, this is Dr. Norah Wilson. Norah, this is my coach.”

“Hello, Mr. Garcia.”

“Hello, Wilson.”

They exchanged a simple greeting with a light nod.

Joanna added, “Norah was the one who saved me. She knows everything about my condition, so I’m in good hands.”

The truth was that Joanna was feeling anxious. Duncan’s unexpected arrival had interrupted her conversation with Norah, and she was eager to hear more about what had happened during her absence. She glanced at Norah, her eyes filled with urgency.

Norah immediately picked up on Joanna’s silent plea and interjected. “Garcia, Joanna has just woken up and still needs rest. Once you’ve finished your visit, I must ask you to leave so I can examine her thoroughly.”

Duncan didn’t question Norah’s words. “Alright, I’ll take my leave now. Joanna, I’ll come back to visit when I have time. Doctor, please take good care of her. Thank you.”
