Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 74:

Gilda and Chayce were raised by Calvin and Bernice, Norah's biological parents. They had devoted themselves to

searching for Norah, who had been lost for years. Their efforts eventually paid off when they found her living in

Glophia, following the tragic demise of Norah's parents in a car accident.

After discovering Norah, Gilda and Chayce shared their findings with the Wilson family. However, Norah's uncle's

family, eager to inherit Calvin's wealth, faced an unexpected obstacle with her reappearance. Despite their

bitterness, Gilda, following Norah's wishes, concealed Norah's true identity to prevent her uncle’s family from

carrying out their plans against her.

Gilda and Chayce took charge of managing Calvin's estate on Norah's behalf. Meanwhile, Norah had spent the

past two years caring for Derek after her marriage into the Carter family. She kept her distance from the Wilson

family, becoming someone her uncle's relatives knew only by name, never having met her in person.

Norah was well aware that her uncle’s family was plotting to force her into the open. Having dealt with them for

three years, she simply laughed off their attempts. They had not dared to touch Calvin's estate, which spoke

volumes about her strategic thinking.

After spending so much taway, Norah decided it was finally tto confront the Wilson family as the rightful

heir.

She replied briefly, instructing Gilda and Chayce to make the necessary preparations.

Later, after dinner, as Norah was finishing up a patient's medical file, two uniformed officers appeared at the

clinic’s door, asking for her.

As Norah left, Jolie asked, “Has Dr. Wilson committed any wrongdoing? Why are the police here at the clinic?”

Baylor responded casually, “Curiosity is no different from those in the chat group.”

Jolie’s cheeks turned red from embarrassment. “I’m just worried about Dr. Wilson. It’s not the sas spreading

rumors, alright? Dr. Padilla, you're quite the odd one.”

Baylor didn’t reply, and Jolie lowered her head, focusing on her work.

The police took Norah aside for a detailed interrogation as the primary witness. Norah answered their exhaustive

questions with remarkable calm and poise.

Wrapping up, the police said, “Thank you, Miss Wilson, for your cooperation. We might need to contact you again

for more information. We count on your continued support.”

“Of course,” Norah replied.

As the officers departed, Norah pocketed her hands, her face serene.

“Dr. Wilson, a patient in Room 301 of the inpatient department wants to see you.”

While Norah was focused on preparing a patient for surgery the next day, she was writing down details on a form

when she heard the nurse’s call, snapping her attention away in surprise.

“Who's in Room 301? Do they know me?” Norah asked, setting her pen aside.

The nurse shook her head. “I'm not sure, | was just asked to pass along the message.”

They admitted the patient last night with a gunshot injury, and he’s only just woken up.” Hearing the word

“gunshot,” Norah immediately guessed the patient's identity.

“Alright, thank you. I'll head there soon.”

Was it Kaiden who had ended up at Silver Boulder Private Hospital? If it was Kaiden, she wasn’t overly concerned

and decided to visit him after finishing her work. She returned to completing the preoperative documents.

In his hospital room, Kaiden was lying on the bed, his right arm heavily bandaged. He looked up and asked, “Did

you give her the message? Norah, | mean, Dr. Wilson. Are you sure you got it right?”

The nurse, too nervous to meet his gaze, answered, “Yes, Dr. Wilson from the Cardiac Surgery Department. |

couldn't have gotten it wrong. She acknowledged my message.”

Spencer intervened, “Thanks. You can go now. We'll call you if we need anything.”

The nurse quickly exited the room, her head still bowed. Spencer finished slicing the apple, placed the slices

neatly on a plate, and offered one to Kaiden.

“Try not to be hard on her. She's only doing her job.”

Kaiden bit into an apple slice and said, “You have no idea how intense and dangerous last night was.

Remarkably, Miss Wilson could still make it to work today.”

“Enough. I've heard all about it during the police interview earlier. Luckily, those gangsters’ internal squabble

gave you a chance. | might not have been able to save you today.” Spencer handed Kaiden another slice and

said, “Somehow, you always land on your feet. Your uncle and | were worried sick all night.”

Kaiden reflected on the previous night's events, well aware they weren't as neatly summarized as in the police

report.

He complained to Spencer, “I think Kason is more concerned about Miss Wilson than me. He hasn't visited me

since | was wheeled out of the operating room. Had it been Miss Wilson in this bed, he’d never leave her side.”

“Look on the bright side, dude. You're lucky to be alive. Miss Wilson's working right now. You can see her after

she’s done. Since you say Miss Wilson saved you, how do you plan to thank her? You can forget about offering

yourself. | don’t think Miss Wilson would be interested in you,” Spencer replied with a smirk.

Kaiden, slightly annoyed, started to retort, “Spencer, you're—"

Spencer took another bite of the apple and said, “What? I'm just telling the truth.”

Kaiden’s thoughts drifted to Norah's brave actions and stunning appearance, causing his heart to flutter. He

quickly pushed those thoughts aside. “If she has feelings for Kason, I'll help Kason convince my dad and grandpa

to accept her.”

Considering both were quite traditional, they would never approve of Kason marrying a woman who had been

divorced.

At the end of the workday, Norah sorted out the details for a surgery set for the next day with a patient's family.

When she clocked out, she recalled that someone at the hospital needed to talk to her, so she went to the

inpatient department.

Norah was eager to hear about Kaiden’s conversation with the police. After knocking on the door twice...

Norah entered the room to find Kason and Spencer. “Hey, Kaiden, you asked to see me?”

Kaiden could only reply by looking at her. He approached Norah, his gaze filled with concern. “Miss Wilson, it's a

relief to see you're alright.”

Norah smiled and said, “If | had any issues, | wouldn't have cto work today. How's Kaiden holding up?”

Kason guided Norah to a sofa and took a seat. He looked back at Kaiden, who was watching them with wide

eyes. He explained with a hint of resignation, “He’s hurt his arm and will need stto recover. Apart from

that, he’s in good shape. His health is otherwise fine.” The fact that Norah had left directly yesterday meant

Kaiden’s injury wasn't critical. Phillip had arranged for an ambulance to take Kaiden to the hospital.

“That's reassuring,” Norah said. “So, why did you want to see me, Kaiden?”

Now seated comfortably on the sofa, Norah could see Spencer feeding Kaiden apple slices. After finishing his

apple slice, Kaiden signaled Spencer to pause and said, “Miss Wilson, there's something | need to discuss with

you. Spencer, Kason, would you mind leaving us alone for a bit?”

Spencer set aside the toothpick, clapped his hands, and said, “Seems like the perfect tfor a snack break. I'll

be back later to check on you.”

As Kason stood to leave, he lingered for only a moment before saying, “I'll be just outside. Letknow when

you're finished talking.”
