Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 703

Chapter 703:

She gently wiped away Susanna’s tears with a tissue. “Phillip, if you don’t know what to say, it’s better to stay

quiet. Don’t cry, Susanna. Remember what | told you?”

Emotions overwhelmed Susanna as tears filled her eyes. Although she was confident in handling Nancy, the sight

of her mother’s kindness towards Nancy saddened her.

“Norah just calledto ask about you. Don’t be scared of Nancy. You are their biological daughter, while Nancy

is just adopted. Your mother is all she has. Look at your family; who else but your mother cares about Nancy?”

Shocked, Susanna shook her head. “No one.”

Indeed, besides her mother, no one seemed to take an interest in Nancy. Her father loved her; he visited her

daily.

“As Norah mentioned, Nancy's biggest wish is for you to be unhappy. Don’t let your anger give her that

satisfaction. You need to recover quickly.”

Inspired by these words, Susanna’s eyes brightened. “You're right, Joanna. | should concentrate on getting

better.”

Joanna recounted the whole situation to Norah over the phone, prompting a chuckle from Norah.

“Susanna can be quite sensitive at times. She could use a bit of comfort. Thanks for helping her, Joanna.”

“No need for thanks. Susanna is a friend to both of us. Phillip may excel at work, but he’s not the best at offering

emotional support,” Joanna remarked.

“He’s usually so capable, but he seems lost when it comes to comforting Susanna,” Norah mused, finding the

situation peculiar but not dwelling on it. After exchanging a few more casual remarks, they bid each other

farewell, ending the call.

As Norah stepped out into the corridor, she noticed Baylor holding a medical record.

“Dr. Wilson,” Baylor greeted warmly.

“Dr. Padilla,” Norah acknowledged before preparing to move on. Baylor quickened his pace to catch up.

“How are you finding the emergency department? Dr. Blakely has mentioned your nmultiple times,

suggesting you transfer to the cardiac surgery department.”

“I believe your presence there suffices,” Norah replied with a gentle smile, inadvertently causing Baylor's

expression to falter. Baylor interpreted her response as mockery. Despite spending considerable tin the

cardiac surgery department, he hadn't received any acknowledgment from Toby.

In contrast, Norah's nfrequently cropped up in Toby's conversations, her recent surgery becoming the

subject of department-wide study and admiration.
