Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 323:

“Riss claimed he’d stay single for me even after I left. He pleaded for me to return, but my feelings had faded. When I saw him, all I felt was disappointment,” Alice spoke deliberately.

“Now that I’m in Cesland, I’ll ponder things with him carefully.”

Norah gently dabbed Alice’s tears with a handkerchief, noticing Alice’s rapid breathing and the slight tremors from her intense crying. She quickly tossed the handkerchief onto the bed, retrieved a paper bag from the cabinet, and placed it over Alice’s head. “Listen to me, Alice. Breathe slowly.”

Alice’s intense crying had caused respiratory distress, prompting Norah to instruct Alice on slow breathing to prevent complications. Alice’s breathing gradually steadied as she listened to Norah’s calming words.

“Don’t put down the bag just yet.” Norah placed a comforting hand on Alice’s shoulder. “Back then, you were the top operative in the organization. How did you go from that to a vulnerable woman trapped in a relationship with a man? Since you’ve made the decision to leave him, you’re certain about it, right?”

So much had unfolded in Alice’s life during the times Norah wasn’t part of it. Norah’s own romantic life was just as complicated as Alice’s. The only difference was that Derek hadn’t loved her even after their divorce.

As she observed Alice’s continued tears, Norah fell silent, reflecting on her own experiences. She began to realize her prior confusion regarding love and gratitude.
