NovelEnglishChapter 179:
Norah's grip on the dagger wavered, her hand shaking visibly.
Performing surgeries had never made Norah this anxious, but with Alice’s life hanging in the balance and the risk
of significant blood loss from any misstep, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
The proximity of Alice's injuries to vital arteries added to the challenge, demanding Norah's utmost precision for
a swift intervention.
Noticing that Norah needed shelp, Sean grabbed her shoulder and asked, “Could you stand on your own?”
Norah realized she hadn't moved from her position beside Alice for an extended period, her legs losing
sensation.
“Please.”
With Sean's assistance, Norah rose to her feet, feeling a wave of instability wash over her.
The prolonged period of immobility, exceeding twenty minutes, had left her legs feeling utterly numb.
Sean embraced Norah firmly, placing one hand on her waist, and insisted, “Stay still. I'll massage your legs.”

Phillip observed Sean's actions with newfound respect.
It dawned on him that Sean was not indifferent to affection.
Sean simply hadn't encountered someone who stirred his heart the way Norah did.
Previously, Sean had been somewhat indifferent toward the opposite sex, valuing a woman's professional
competence above all else.
Amabel’s exceptional competence was the sole reason Sean had allowed her a position within the company.
Nexa Tech, though seemingly modest, held promising prospects.
Amabel’s continued presence in the company could elevate her to a pivotal role.
Reflecting on this, Phillip realized that, except for family members, Norah had been the only woman in Sean's life
for a long time.
Norah represented the first woman in years to break through Sean’s reserved demeanor and form a genuine
connection with him.
But now that he was witnessing Sean’s newfound happiness, Phillip felt a sense of relief.
It comforted him to know that Sean’s life wasn’t just about work anymore, but also included deeper feelings and
connections.
“The hospital has been alerted, and the ambulance is on its way,” he announced.
Norah, however, was not reassured.
She was well aware of Otland’s slow ambulance services. Without their intervention, she feared Alice might not
have survived.
“The police have secured the scene. Mr. Scott, is it twe head back to the hotel?”
Phillips focus remained firmly on Norah's well-being, sparing little thought for the others who had been injured.
He assumed medical professionals would attend to Alice, ensuring her care.
His primary concern was to ensure that Sean and Norah were safe and out of harm’s way.
Having learned of Norah's significance to Sean, Phillip had cto regard Norah with the srespect as he did
Sean, treating her almost as another leader within their circle.
He wholeheartedly supported Sean and Norah being together.
Furthermore, Phillip was well aware that Susanna was quite fond of Norah.
“You both go ahead. I'll stay behind until the doctor arrives. | won't have peace of mind until | see Alice safely
admitted to the hospital.”
Norah stood her ground, stepping out of Sean’s comforting hold. Her voice had an icy edge.
She couldn't bear the thought of leaving while Alice was still hurt.
Under the mistaken belief that Sean sought an escape from the ordeal, Norah chose her words carefully to push

Norah saw Sean as the quintessential young master, unaccustomed to adversity, especially not the type they'd
encountered in Otland. It seemed implausible to her that he would willingly endure the wait for medical
assistance in such a setting.
Norah paused to consider the situation from Sean’s point of view, realizing he likely had little patience for
waiting.
She questioned how someone of his stature, accustomed to the finer things in life, could tolerate such an
uncomfortable environment for an extended period.
Accustomed to the comfort of villas and the luxury of high-end cars, Sean seemed out of place in their current
predicament.
Determined not to force him, Norah resolved not to coerce him into staying by her side.
“Norah, listen, there's something | need to say,” Sean said, his voice laced with an earnestness that bordered on
pleading.
The entourage trailing Phillip watched in disbelief.
To them, Sean was the most venerable leader of Sacredice.
He was intelligent, strategic, and undeniably charismatic.
Witnessing their indomitable leader adopting such a beseeching tone before a woman shattered their
preconceived notions of his unassailable person.
