Chapter 789:

Fortunately, something good cout of the situation. Nyla’s operation inspired her to write a thesis about her

case.

Once she finished examining her last patient's condition, she might start researching Nyla’s case and working on

both theses simultaneously.

However, before the foreign patient could arrive, Norah caught a cold, which quickly escalated into a high fever.

She was sweating all over the night before, and upon waking up the next morning, her body felt like it had been

run over by a heavy truck.

Touching her forehead, she winced. Her fever hadn't cdown even a little.

Having no choice, she dialed Toby's number to call in sick to work after just two days of reporting for duty in the

cardiac surgery department. Toby accepted her request and advised her to take as much rest as she needed.

After hanging up the phone, Norah heard light footsteps outside her bedroom.

Her eyes narrowed. Was it another murder attempt? This time, in broad daylight? Weren't these hired guns afraid

Clutching the weapons in their hands, the killers nodded at each other as a go signal to attack. If Norah was

inside the room, it would make their job so much easier.

With long, quiet steps, they inched toward the bedroom.

Behind the door, Norah could hear the footsteps getting closer. She remained calm, holding a few explosive balls

with knockout drops in her hands.

However, the carpeted floor caused her to panic. The floor must be hard and solid for the balls with knockout

drops to work when thrown.

The carpeted floor was soft and fluffy. The explosive device would only bounce against it.
