Chapter 694 Acute Appendicitis

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

"Hey, my daughter is still pregnant with your child. Why the hell are you still staring at your ex-wife? Still in love with her?"

Coen had seen Derek staring intently at Norah.

Derek quickly looked away, but his mind was flooded with memories of Norah's past tenderness. Believing that she had loved him deeply, he was certain she still harbored some feelings for him

Could he rekindle things with Norah? Or was he dreaming?

Of course, Norah didn't think much of Derek. She only checked on the delivery man because she couldn't stand his arrogant demeanor

Blackmailing Derek was one thing, but doubting her medical skills was another matter entirely.

Without realizing it, she found herself in the bustling downtown area, where throngs of people and cars moved ceaselessly

In the central square, she noticed a familiar figure sitting on a bench.

"Mr. Newman, what's wrong with you?"

Jarrod, sitting there, was clutching his stomach with both hands. He looked like he was in severe pain, sweat beading on his forehead.

Hearing Norah's question, he opened his eyes briefly before closing them again.

"Dr. Wilson my stomach hurts. His voice was barely audible.

"Lean hack. Let me check you out

Norah gently but firmly moved his hands away from his stomach and pressed on various spots

"Does it hurt here? How about here?"

Jarrod nodded slightly, wincing in pain and lying on the bench, utterly drained of energy.

Tve got the medication." A young man hurried over, carrying a bag of medications and atbottle of water.

Dr. Wilson, what brings you here?"

The young man, Jarrod's assistant, was well-acquainted with Norah

"He has acute appendicitis. Where's the car? We need to get him to the hospital

The assistant hastily helped Norah lift Jarrod, retrieved the car keys from his pocket, and signaled toward a Bentley parked nearby

Norah took the keys and strode to the car.

"Come with me."

"How about I drive?" the assistant, worried about her driving skills, hesitantly suggested after getting in

"Buckle up!"

Norah fastened her seat belt, placed her hands on the steering wheel, and remained extremely calm

The assistant, now feeling a bit reassured by her composure, buckled himself and Jarrod in

Since Norah was a doctor and not panicking, he believed Jarrod must be in good hands

Norah started the engine, shifted gears, and pressed the gas pedal. The Bentley surged forward, weaving through traffic like a racecar

The assistant clung tightly to Jarrod, staying silent. He hadn't expected Norah to drive so fast, navigating the busy streets with such skill It was both terrifying and impressivel

The assistant bent down and used a tissue to wipe the sweat off Jarrod's forehead

Despite the speed, Norah's driving was precise, and soon, they arrived at Concord Hospital

"Acute appendicitis. Prepare for surgery

Norah's calm demeanor commanded the attention of the doctors and nurses who came to receive Jarrod. She watched as the unconscious Jarrod was wheeled into the operating room

"Don't worry. It's just an appendectomy Go inform his parents.

Norah patted the assistant on the shoulder, returned the car keys, and walked away without another word.

The assistant gazed after her, a sigh escaping his lips. What a remarkable woman!
