NovelEnglishChapter 197:
Sean thought about the schedule Phillip had reported to him. Finally, he said, “Honey, | have to work this
afternoon. Can you go to the hospital alone? I'll pick you up when I'm done.”
“Sure,” Norah said, standing up. She added, “Before | was with you, | handled all these things myself. So don’t
treatlike I'm made of glass. | can pull my own weight.”
Norah felt that Sean had seemingly forgotten her ability to handle her life well. She was perfectly fine with going
to the hospital alone. Did Sean suppose she was incapable of taking care of herself? Was that why he asked her
to bechis girlfriend—an incapable girlfriend who would boost his ego?
The more Norah thought about it, the more her displeasure grew. “Are you planning to trapby your side?”
Sean was surprised that his words, which he had said as a way to show how much he cared, had been so badly
misconstrued. “No. That's not my intention.”
Growing up in the Scott family, Sean was taught to believe in people's abilities. This was why he had shown his
support when Norah expressed her desire to make progress in her career. Wasn't a big part of loving someone
about helping them beca better version of themselves?

Norah snarled. “You better not. I'm leaving now. Callwhen you cto pickup.”
With that, she picked up her bag and left gracefully.
Phillip watched Norah leave coldly, then approached Sean and said, “We need to make the sacrifice this
afternoon, Mr. Scott. Shall we go now?”

Phillip was baffled. Sean and Norah had just been in a heated argument a moment ago. What had Sean said to
make Norah angry?
“Giveten minutes,” Sean said with an exasperated sigh.
“Phillip, have you ever been in love?” Sean asked suddenly.
Shocked by Sean's abrupt question, Phillip bitterly admitted he had been single for quite stime, replying,
“No.”
Having worked for Sean with the heavy workload, how could Phillip manage to make tfor a romantic life?
Sean raised an eyebrow and commented, “Being in love with the one you truly desire is quite something. I'm on
cloud nine when Norah doesn’t bother to hide her true self from me. She's treatingdifferently. I'm her special
one.”
Even when Norah was mad at him, Sean couldn't help exclaiming in his heart, “How adorable Norah is, even in
this state.”
That love was something special.
Two people got to know each other, becinvolved in each other's lives, and eventually started life together.
At Sean's happiness after falling in love, Phillip wished he could experience the same. However, that was not to
be, as he worked tirelessly year-round. He had no tfor anything else.
The image of Susanna flashed through Phillip’s mind.
He could only meet her when working for Sean.
Sean finally paid attention to Phillip, whose giggle didn’t go unnoticed.
Sean asked, “Why are you smiling? Do you have someone you like? When are you going to introduce her to me?
You're not hiding anything from me, are you?”

Phillip quickly wiped the smile off his face and hastily replied, “It's nothing like that.”
Since childhood, Phillip had vowed to be loyal to Sean and support him until the very end. Shaking his head, he
brushed aside his thoughts, telling himself that romantic love wasn’t a necessary part of his life.
“Are T.K. and J. all at Sacredice?” Sean asked.
“Yes. They heard about your arrival in Otland, all expecting you at Sacredice,” Phillip replied.
“Let’s go. It's been quite a while since | last saw them.”
In Cesland, at Silver Boulder Private Hospital, Joanna lay on the hospital bed, fiddling with her phone, while
Duncan sat on a chair, peeling fruits for Joanna.
Bryson walked in and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Mr. Garcia peels fruits for you again? Didn't you have a...?”
Eyes still fixed on her phone screen, Joanna replied, “I've told Mr. Garcia several times not to do that, but he
insists on helping. He says he feels awkward sitting down here doing nothing.”
Duncan didn’t stop peeling the fruits. Instead, he said, “It's really not a big deal.”
