Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 179:

Norah’s grip on the dagger wavered, her hand shaking visibly.

Performing surgeries had never made Norah this anxious, but with Alice’s life hanging in the balance and the risk of significant blood loss from any misstep, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

The proximity of Alice’s injuries to vital arteries added to the challenge, demanding Norah’s utmost precision for a swift intervention.

Noticing that Norah needed some help, Sean grabbed her shoulder and asked, “Could you stand on your own?”

Norah realized she hadn’t moved from her position beside Alice for an extended period, her legs losing sensation.

“Please.”

With Sean’s assistance, Norah rose to her feet, feeling a wave of instability wash over her.

The prolonged period of immobility, exceeding twenty minutes, had left her legs feeling utterly numb.

Sean embraced Norah firmly, placing one hand on her waist, and insisted, “Stay still. I’ll massage your legs.”

Ignoring any protests Norah might have, Sean bent down quietly and started massaging her calves with gentle pressure to ease her discomfort.
