Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 226:

The caregiver at the door was visibly nervous, gesturing with her hands as she asserted, “I'll do everything | can

to take good care of you.”

Securing this well-paid position was crucial for the caregiver, who had been selected from a pool of applicants.

The significance of this opportunity was known only to her.

Alice observed the caregiver at the door, whose simple attire exuded warmth, giving off an approachable vibe.

She sensed that, compared to the previous caregiver, this one was much more professional and industrious.

“Just stay calm. All we ask is that you provide her with good care, and there will be no issues,” Norah assured the

caregiver.

Norah wouldn't hesitate to act if this caregiver failed to meet Alice’s needs.

“Also, Sean has arranged a room for you in a private hospital. He plans to move you there once the paperwork is

sorted out this morning,” Norah mentioned.

Alice hesitated.

“There's no need to go to such lengths. I'm quite content here.”

“Alice, you're aware of my concerns. I'm worried the incident from yesterday might repeat itself.” Norah clasped

Alice’s hand, her expression filled with concern. “Sean has taken care of all the arrangements. You'll be

transferred to another hospital as soon as you give the nod.”

Alice could feel the warmth and concern emanating from Norah, knowing how much Norah cared about her well-

being.

“Do you remember what | told you yesterday? Don’t overthink it. Just agree,” Norah urged.

“Alright, thanks.” Alice took a moment before nodding in agreement, still feeling uneasy. She knew that Norah's

boyfriend had made the arrangements. Alice was uncomfortable with the idea of Norah incurring debt to a man,

especially as their relationship was blossoming. In the throes of love, debts of favor are often overlooked, but

once the passion fades, settling scores becomes inevitable.

Whenever Norah mentioned her boyfriend, her face would light up. Anyone could tell that she adored him. Alice

lowered her gaze. To her, love seemed like a fleeting, unreliable force, or perhaps she had yet to encounter

someone who truly stirred her heart.

Once Alice consented, Phillip promptly initiated the transfer process.

The on-duty nurse, upon noticing the transfer order on her computer, couldn't contain her excitement.

“Alice is moving? Does this mean Norah won't visit this hospital anymore? That means | won't have to deal with

her anymore!” she thought, her mood brightening.

What a wonderful day it was turning out to be!

The nurse hummed a tune, buoyed by her good mood.

Thanks to Phillip’s efficiency, the paperwork was sorted out quickly. An ambulance soon arrived to transport Alice

to the private hospital.

The nurse on duty watched their departure, her smile wide. “Finally! No more dealing with Norah,” she mused,

relieved at the thought of a peaceful work environment ahead.

But her relief was short-lived.

Within thirty minutes of Norah's exit, a phone call turned her world upside down. The color drained from her face

as she put the phone down. She was stripped of her current duties and reassigned to the most exhausting

department, with a mandatory tenure of at least two years.

Norah couldn't suppress a smile as she ended her call. “Have you been up to mischief, honey? That smirk says it

all,” Sean teased, playfully nudging the corner of her mouth.

Norah lifted her chin. “So what if | have? Does that mean you've stopped loving me?”

“Far from it! | have a thing for the naughty ones. Honey, you have all my love,” Sean declared, his words

unexpectedly tender.

Caught off guard by his affectionate declaration, Norah blushed. “Phillips still here, you know.”

She had made the arrangement. She was uneasy about Norah incurring debt to the man, especially since their

relationship was blossoming. In the throes of love, debts of favor were often overlooked, but once the passion

faded, settling scores becinevitable.

Whenever Norah mentioned her boyfriend, her face would light up. Anyone could tell that she adored him. Yet,

her smile faltered slightly. To her, love seemed like a fleeting, unreliable force. Or maybe, she had yet to

encounter someone who truly stirred her heart.

Alice consented. Phillip promptly initiated the transfer process.

The on-duty nurse, upon noticing the transfer order on her computer, couldn't contain her excitement. Alice was

moving? Did that mean Norah would not visit this hospital again? This meant she wouldn't have to deal with

Norah any longer.

What a wonderful day it was turning out to be!

The nurse hummed a tune, buoyed by her good mood.

Thanks to Phillip’s efficiency, the paperwork was sorted out in no time.

An ambulance soon arrived to transport Alice to the private hospital.

The nurse on duty watched their departure, her smile wide. “Finally! No more dealing with Norah,” she mused,

relieved at the thought of a peaceful work environment ahead.

But her relief was short-lived.

“Far from it! | have a thing for the naughty ones. Honey, you have all my love,” Sean declared, his words

unexpectedly tender.

Caught off guard by his affectionate declaration, Norah blushed. “Phillips still here, you know.”

Without a word, Phillip discreetly raised the car's partition, creating a private haven for them, pretending to be

oblivious to their exchange.

Norah found herself at a loss for words, aware that, despite the partition, Phillip was likely tuned into her and

Sean's conversation from the driver's seat.
