Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 589

Chapter 589:

This was a case of respiratory alkalosis, reminiscent of the episode when Alice had broken down in tears.

Susanna needed to control her breathing quickly to recover, lest the situation escalate to dire consequences.

Kayla and Matteo watched the unfolding in shock. Kayla, visibly scared, released Nancy’s hand and

hurried over to Susanna, her expression fraught with concern.

Nancy glanced up, her eyes brimming with tears that belied the stoic indifference lurking within. She noted

inwardly that Susanna was handling the situation better than expected.

But she could also do it. Emboldened, she clutched her chest, staggered slightly, then crumpled to the floor with

a pained moan.

Kayla blanched at the sight. Rushing to Nancy, she fumbled for a medicine bottle in her pocket, extracted two

pills, and hurriedly administered them to Nancy, saying, “Nancy, relax. Let's get you to the sofa.” From a

distance, Sean observed his mother’s actions with a cool detachment before turning to Norah to inquire, “How's

Susanna doing?”

Norah, having intervened just in time, watched as Susanna’s breathing stabilized. She removed the paper bag

and advised gently, “You need to stay calm, Susanna. It's important for your health.”

Susanna was visibly distressed. Her eyes were red and puffy, her forehead glistened with sweat, and her hair

clung to her face. Tear tracks and mucus streaked her face.

Norah grabbed a handful of tissues and handed them to her. She then scrutinized Nancy, who sat curled up on

the sofa, her arms wrapped around herself.

“Miss Chase, is there something wrong with your heart? I'm a cardiac surgeon. | could give you a check-up,”

Norah offered.

Kayla rejected her immediately, saying, “You're too young. | don’t think you have the experience. Even if you are

a heart doctor, you must be just starting. Heart conditions are complex. Please don’t say such words again. It's

not only unprofessional but also disrespectful to the patient.” She gave Norah a disdainful look.

Before Norah could respond, the expressions on Sean’s and Susanna’s faces shifted.

Sean stood protectively by Norah and said, “Mom, regardless of Norah's experience, you shouldn't speak to her

that way. Please apologize to her.”

His voice was cold and detached, which displeased Kayla. “Why should | apologize? I'm only speaking the truth.

The skilled doctors in the Cardiac Surgery Department are all middle-aged. But this lady? She seems way

younger than them. Can't be a good doctor, right?” Kayla scoffed and gently patted Nancy's back. “Don’t worry,

Nancy. I'll take you to the best doctor. We'll get your heart condition treated.”

“Thank you, mom,” Nancy said, her eyes brimming with tears as she gazed up at Kayla.
