Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 165:

Norah had made arrangements via email and set the appointment for ten in the morning.

If everything went smoothly with the checkup, she could proceed with the surgery that very afternoon.

With Alice behind the wheel, Norah arrived at the castle gates well before the appointed hour.

They had to go through a series of security checks before they were granted permission to enter the castle grounds.

As Norah’s medical assistant, Alice was permitted to enter as well.

The butler who ushered them around was a man in his fifties.

Despite being a servant, he treated them with the utmost courtesy, and there was an undeniable elegance to him. He briefed them on the princess’s condition as they made their way inside.

“We are grateful to you, Supernatural Doctor, for agreeing to help her. The royal family has prepared a generous reward in return for your service.”

Norah remained calm throughout.

The fact that her patient was royalty didn’t faze her.

She didn’t pander to the patient’s family, nor did she make any move that suggested subservience.

Naturally, Alice did the same.

They were both trained to maintain their composure, even when standing under a hail of bullets.

They couldn’t be flustered by something as trivial as attending to people with titles.

Alice stood at the door while Norah examined the patient. Back when Norah was still active in the organization, she had been their go-to physician.

She treated everyone who got injured or contracted a disease during missions and had yet to lose a patient.

No matter how severe their wounds were or how hopeless their condition seemed, the agents knew they would be safe as long as they made it back to headquarters.

Norah’s medical skills were nothing short of miraculous; Alice had personally witnessed her bringing a patient back from the brink of death.

From then on, Alice decided to dedicate herself to Norah and become her closest friend. After all, with a friend like Norah, one’s life was basically guaranteed to be long and healthy.

When Norah walked out of the room, her expression was cold.

Alice approached her and asked, “How is it?”

“No big deal. Just a walk in the park.” Based on her assessment, Norah had figured that only a basic craniotomy was required.
