Chapter 387 A Thank-you Banner

Jolie felt angry and envious. She anticipated Norah's failure and trouble, but to her surprise, Norah executed the operation flawlessly, boosting her reputation instead.

After the operation, every doctor present would recognize Norah's competence.

Yet, Jolie remained unconvinced. She viewed Norah as an impostor who had sneaked into the hospital through her connections.

She decided to gather evidence of Norah's bribery and expose it to everyone.

Baylor, on the other hand, was taken aback. It appeared he had underestimated Norah's capabilities. As colleagues in the same department, he had assumed Norah held him in high regard, given his previous acts of kindness.

Rubbing his chin, he began to think. If he could persuade her to be his girlfriend, he'd have access to both her skills and her company. It sounded like a good deal. After all, Norah ranked highest in appearance among the staff at the hospital.

Norah sat at her desk, unaware of the thoughts swirling in people's minds, and started writing down the operation record.

By the time she finished, it was nearly the end of her shift.

She walked by Kason's ward door and noticed he wasn't there either.

Kason hadn't bothered to inform her about leaving the hospital. Did he believe they couldn't even be

friends anymore? The realization saddened Norah. She believed they could still be friends, despite her relationship with Sean.

Norah cherished her long-standing friendship with Kason since childhood and dreaded the thought of losing this friend.

In this big world, with so many people around, wasn't it just fate for two souls to reconnect in the midst of this vast ocean of humanity? She silently tumed away. If Kason had made up his mind like that, she'd just have to let it be.

Some friendships, she realized, were fated to drift apart.

"Hey, Norah. Are you done for the day?"

Kaiden hurried toward her from the end of the corridor, holding a bill in his hand.

"I just went to your department to find you. Kason completed his discharge procedures today. He

insisted I tell you in person." He had questioned Kason about why he didn't just text Norah, but Kason looked away and remained silent.

So, after settling the bill, Kaiden went to collect the remaining items from the ward and then headed

to the Cardiac Surgery Department to find Norah. To his surprise, he ran into Norah right outside the

ward.

"Thank you for everything at the hospital. Maybe we could hang out sometime, Kaiden conveyed, though Norah sensed his words were merely courteous.

She realized that her future interactions with both Kason and Kaiden would likely be rare.

She nodded calmly, saying, "Sure."

Once the medical consultation was completed, she wouldn't have any reason to interact with Kason

again.

Norah felt distressed, so she glanced downward and walked away.

Confused by Norah's sudden gloominess, Kaiden scratched his head in bewilderment. Kason had also required him to thank her on his behalf.

With Norah gone, Kaiden decided to drop it.

Another Friday had arrived.

As Norah stepped down from the operating table, she spotted the boy's parents standing at the department's entrance. The father held a gift, looking inside anxiously.

"Hello, may I ask who are you looking for?" Norah asked.

They were blocking the entrance.

The boy's father turned around, his face alight with excitement. "Doctor, my son is doing much better.

We owe it all to your exceptional skills. We've come specifically to express our gratitude."

He shook her hand and opened the thank-you banner he held.

"Grateful Family Hails Dr. Norah Wilson for Saving Their Son's Life The banner read. The golden words shimmered brightly.

Norah responded with a gentle nod, "Thank you for your kind words. I accept the banner, but please, keep the gift.”
