Chapter 1017 Facilitating A Connection
It turned out Jaxson planned to visit Surella to explore a special medication for heart disease, which greatly piqued his interest.
As he and Norah delved into a discussion about medical advancements, Sean watched them, resting his chin on his hand and smiling as he observed their animated exchange.
Sean wondered how Jaxson would react upon discovering that Norah was the renowned Supernatural Doctor. He was quite excited about the outcome.
Meanwhile, Joanna and Bryson sat together, watching the group engage in lively conversation.
"Norah is truly exceptional, Bryson murmured.
His smile carried a hint of regret. From the moment he first met Norah, her remarkable abilities had drawn him in.
Yet, his reserved nature had caused him to miss the opportunity to pursue her, a decision he now regretted. If only he had been bolder, perhaps they could have been more than just acquaintances.
"Bryson, what are you pondering? Do you also think that Norah and Sean will marry soon?" Joanna teased, noting how Sean's gaze hardly wavered from Norah, clearly indicating his deep affection.
It was surprising to see the usually reserved Sean so openly enamored. Norah was indeed fortunate.
As Joanna thought about Duncan, who had recently been a constant presence by her side, her cheeks tinged pink. In the dimly lit room, her flush went unnoticed.
Soon after, a young man and a young woman from the Dixon family arrived.
Jaxson, familiar with them, waved them over for introductions. "Norah, this is Brigid Dixon and Luka Dixon. I thought it'd be good for you all to meet."
During their earlier conversation, Jaxson had gleaned insights into Norah's upcoming projects and was keen to connect her with the Dixons.
The Dixon family was extensive, with many branches, but Brigid and Luka, siblings, represented the main line.
Brigid, about twenty-four, sported short hair and exuded a capable aura.
Luka, a reserved young man with black hair, stood slightly behind his sister.
"Hello, Miss Wilson, I've heard so much about you," Brigid greeted Norah.
"Miss Dixon, it's a pleasure to meet you," Norah replied.
They exchanged light handshakes. This was the first time Norah had really taken a moment to observe the siblings. Although she had seen them at previous gatherings, they had never actually spoken.
Both siblings were notably attractive. Luka, who appeared to be freshly matured into adulthood, stood at about 5 feet 7 inches, the same height as his sister, which endeared him to others as a charming younger brother.
Jaxson softly explained, "Brigid has already taken over several hospitals in their family business. She's so busy with work that she barely has time for anything else."
Their presence at the party spoke to the considerable influence both Jaxson and Sean held.
Norah smiled and acknowledged. "I see."
She then engaged Brigid in a conversation about medical equipment, while Jaxson guided Luka to sit next to him.
Brigid's eyes showed a spark of realization that Jaxson was facilitating a connection with Norah. In the business world, relationships were driven by mutual interests, with friendships forming where beneficial alliances could be made.
The conversation flowed smoothly, and Norah quickly gathered the information she sought, nodding in satisfaction.
After wrapping up their discussion, she turned to Sean and whispered, "Sean, we should have Phillip and Brigid's parents take a paternity test."
Sean looked puzzled, "Why do you suggest that?"
"Well... Don't you think they look somewhat alike?"
*People resembling each other doesn't necessarily mean they're related. Should everyone who looks similar have a DNA test?" Sean joked, a light chuckle escaping him. "Phillip is an orphan whom my father took in from an orphanage. He's been with us since he was very young.”
