Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 137:

Joanna was already awake when Norah stepped into her ward. She noticed Susanna standing nearby, which initially made her feel somewhat displeased. However, she quickly managed to shake off the feeling.

Joanna reasoned that, given her current state—confined to a bed due to her injuries—it was only right for Norah to have another companion by her side. Since Susanna was Sean’s sister, Joanna suspected that he had sent her over as a means to grow closer to Norah.

Joanna could tell that Norah was fond of Susanna, and with how lovely Susanna was, it was easy to see why. Joanna hadn’t seen Sean in quite a while, leaving her uncertain about his feelings toward Norah.

“Norah, you have no idea how much I’ve been looking forward to your visits every day! The pain from my wound has been so bad, I found myself crying…” Joanna confessed, her eyes brimming with tears, her voice trembling.

Norah leaned over and gently wiped away her tears. “Joanna, I can see how much you’re hurting. Look here, see what I brought for you.”

As Joanna paused her crying, she looked curiously at Norah’s hand. “What’s that?”

Norah opened her palm to reveal a piece of milk candy. “After I finished surgery today, the patient’s child handed me this candy. I’ve held onto it for you all day.”

A smile broke through Joanna’s tear-streaked face. “Thank you, Norah.” The milk candy, though simple, held immense value for Joanna.
