Chapter 1403: Derek pleaded, “Miss Wilson, remember how kindly Grandma treated you when we were married? Surely, you haven't forgotten that?" "How could I forget? If it hadn't been for your grandma, I would have left you with nothing during the divorce settlement, rather than giving you a sum of money," Norah sneered.
"You!" Derek pointed at her furiously, but conscious of her status, he reluctantly lowered his hand. "You've benefited from my grandma's kindness. Surely you wouldn't be so heartless as to let her die? You're the Supernatural Doctor; you save lives against all odds."
