Chapter 806:
Once, she had admired him, seeing only his strengths. Now, she saw him as nothing more than a contemptible
jerk.
Hearing Norah's identity, the delivery man initially panicked. A doctor from Concord Hospital could wield
significant influence. He thought his blackmail plan was about to crumble.
Yet, when he noticed the evident discord between Norah and Derek, he breathed a sigh of relief. His scheme
might still have a chance after all.
“Since you guys aren't even friends, don’t get in the way. He needs to discuss the compensation with me,” the

Norah, who had been about to walk away, stopped in her tracks. Her eyes narrowed with impatience as she
approached the man and squatted down to examine him closely.
When she stood, her voice was icy and unforgiving. “It’s just a minor bruise. At most, he can buy you a bottle of
rubbing alcohol and spatches. It won't cost more than fifty dollars.” She clapped her hands, her gaze filled
with disdain.
“If you go to the hospital, the doctor will say the sthing. No matter how much you pretend to be injured, you

Norah added, “And there’s a dashcam in the car. Stop pretending.”
Ultimately, the man accepted a hundred dollars in compensation.
Ignoring Derek and Coen’s invitation to dinner, Norah walked past them with a frosty demeanor, not sparing

Derek watched her retreating figure with a mix of obsession and regret. He found Norah had only grown more
beautiful over time. For the first time, he felt a twinge of repulsion towards Madeline, whose pregnancy had left
her in poor shape.
He believed he deserved to be surrounded by beautiful women, and he regretted more than ever letting Norah
go.
If he hadn't divorced her, everyone would envy him for having a wife with exceptional medical skills, stunning
beauty, and remarkable talents.
Madeline might have had a good family background, but her prized design skills were still inferior to Norah's.
Derek thought that since Norah was willing to help him, it was evident that he held a special place in her heart.
Otherwise, why would she offer her assistance solely to him and not to anyone else?
After Norah had departed, Coen was seething with rage and punched Derek hard on the shoulder.
