229 She’s Nora

As soon as she said this, everyone turned to look at

her.

Mr. Horton immediately said, “What do you mean? Can the medicine from Clance be bought and sold now?”

“Of course not.”

Oliver breathed a sigh of relief. “If it can’t be bought, the third medication has already been taken away by the police as contraband, so where would more medicine come from?!”

Keira then looked toward Corey.

She hadn’t actually figured out an excuse and didn’t know what to say about the situation, so she had avoided bringing it up until now.

But Corey was capable enough to handle the situation.

Indeed, Corey immediately stepped forward with a smile, and without letting her down, he began. “Here’s the thing. Miss Olsen had previously submitted old Mrs. Horton’s medical case to our institute. To tell the

Corey went on. “Miss Olsen has my number, see, and she would call me every day, speaking earnestly, with touching words. It’s rare to encounter someone with such excellent qualities. Miss Olsen is so gentle and virtuous, and I’m sure she’s a good wife and loving

mother…”

Keira, seeing that he was going on and on and was even about to continue, suddenly coughed and shot him a wary glance.

Corey instantly took the cue and promptly cut off the speech. “In short, I was moved by Miss Olsen, so I made a request to Nora. Nora found value in study someone 86 years old, and so our institute decided give old Mrs. Horton a slot!”

This statement made everyone’s eyes widen in surprise!

Mr. Horton was especially incredulous as he looked toward Keira and immediately said awkwardly, “Keira,
