Chapter 74 Kaiden In Silver Boulder Private Hospital

Galen and Chayce were nurtured by Calvin and Bernice, Norah's biological parents. Galen and Chayce had devoted themselves to finding Norah who had been lost for ages. Their search was fruitful as they eventually found Norah living in Glophia following Norah's parents' tragic demise amid the car incident.

After having located Norah, Galen and Chayce shared this discovery with the Wilson family.

Norah's uncle's family, keen on inheriting Calvin's wealth, encountered an unforeseen hurdle with Norah's reappearance. Despite their bitterness, Galen, heeding Norah's wish, concealed Norah's true identity, preventing her uncle's family's plans against her.

Galen and Chayce took charge of managing Calvin's estate on Norah's behalf. Norah, on the

other hand, had devoted the past two years to taking care of Derek since her marriage within

the Carter family's residence.

Norah kept her distance from the Wilson family's members, becoming a person whom her uncle's family knew only by name but had never met.

Norah knew her uncle's family were now plotting to force her out into the open. Having dealt with them for three years, Norah laughed off their attempts. They had not dared to touch Calvin's estate, a testament to her strategic prowess.

After spending so much time away, she decided it was high time she confronted the Wilson family as the rightful heir.

She replied briefly, instructing Galen and Chayce to make the necessary preparations.

Later, after dinner, as Norah was wrapping up a patient's medical file, two uniformed officers showed up at the clinic's door, asking for her.

As Norah left, Jolie asked, "Has Dr. Wilson committed any wrongdoing? Why are the police here at the clinic?"

Baylor responded casually, "Your curiosity is no different from those in the chat group."

Jolie's cheeks tumed red from embarrassment. "I'm just worried about Dr. Wilson. It's not the same as spreading rumors, alright? Dr. Padilla, you're quite the odd one."

Baylor didn't reply, and Jolie bit her lip, lowering her head to focus on work.

The police took Norah aside for a detailed interrogation as the primary witness. Norah answered their exhaustive questions with remarkable calm and poise.

Wrapping up, the police said, "Thank you, Miss Wilson, for your cooperation. We might need to contact you again for more information. We count on your continued support.

"Of course."

As the officers departed, Norah pocketed her hands, her face serene.

"Dr. Wilson, a patient in Room 301 of the inpatient department, wants to see you." While Norah was focused on getting a patient ready for surgery the next day, she was writing down details on a form when she caught the nurse's call, snapping her attention away in surprise.

"Who's in Room 301? Do they know me? Norah asked, setting her pen aside.

The nurse shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. I was just asked to pass along the message. They admitted the patient last night with a gunshot injury, and he's only just woken up."

Hearing the word "gunshot," Norah immediately guessed the patient's identity. "Alright, thank you. I'll head there soon." Was it Kaiden who had ended up at Silver Boulder Private Hospital?

If it was Kaiden, she wasn't overly concerned and decided to visit him after finishing her work. She went back to completing the preoperative consent document.

In his hospital room, Kaiden was lying on the bed, his right arm heavily bandaged. He looked up and asked, "Did you give her the message? Norah, I mean, Dr. Wilson. Are you sure you got it right?"

The nurse, too nervous to meet his gaze, answered, "Yes, Dr. Wilson from the Cardiac Surgery Department. I couldn't have gotten it wrong. She acknowledged my message."

Spencer intervened, "Thanks. You can go now. We'll call you if we need anything."

The nurse quickly exited the room, her head still bowed.

Spencer finished slicing the apple, placed the slices neatly on a plate, and offered one to Kaiden. "Try not to be too hard on a nurse. She was only doing her job."

Kaiden bit into an apple slice and said, "You have no idea how intense and dangerous last night was. Remarkably, Miss Wilson could still make it to work today."

"Enough, I've heard all about it during the police interview earlier. Luckily, those gangsters internal squabble gave you a chance, or I might not have been able to see you today." Spencer fed Kaiden another slice and said, "Somehow, you always land on your feet. Your uncle

and I were worried sick all night."

Kaiden reflected on the previous night's events, well aware they weren't as neatly summarized

as in the police report. He complained to Spencer, "I think Kason is more concerned about Miss

Wilson than me. He hasn't visited me since I was wheeled out of the operating room. Had it

been Miss Wilson in this bed, he'd never leave her side."

"Look on the bright side, dude. You're lucky to be alive. Miss Wilson's working right now. You

can see her after she's done. Since you say Miss Wilson saved you, how do you plan to thank

her? You can forget about offering yourself. I don't think Miss Wilson would be interested in

you."

Kaiden, slightly annoyed, started to retort, "Spencer, you..."

Spencer took another bite of the apple and said, "What? I'm just stating the facts."

Then, Kaiden's thoughts drifted to Norah's brave actions and stunning appearance, causing his

heart to flutter. He quickly pushed those thoughts aside. "If she has feelings for Kason, I'll help

Kason convince my dad and grandpa to accept her."

Considering both were quite traditional, they would never approve of Kason marrying a woman who had been divorced.

At the end of the workday, Norah sorted out the details for a surgery set for the next day with a patient's family. When she clocked out, she recalled that someone at the hospital needed to talk to her, so she went to the inpatient department..

Norah was eager to hear about Kaiden's conversation with the police.

After knocking on the door twice, Norah entered the room to find Kason and Spencer. "Hey,

Kaiden, you asked to see me?"

Before Kaiden could reply, Kason approached Norah, looking her over with concern, saying, "Miss Wilson, it's a relief to see you're alright."

Norah smiled and said, "If I had any issues, I wouldn't have come to work today. How's Kaiden holding up?"

Kason guided Norah to a sofa and took a seat. He looked back at Kaiden, who was watching them with widened eyes, and explained with a hint of resignation, "He's hurt his arm and will need some time to recover. Apart from that, he's in good shape. His health is otherwise fine."

The fact that Norah had left directly yesterday meant Kaiden's injury wasn't critical. Phillip had arranged for an ambulance to take Kaiden to the hospital.

"That's reassuring. So, why did you want to see me, Kaiden?" Now seated comfortably on the sofa, Norah could see Spencer feeding Kaiden apple slices.

Finishing his apple slice, Kaiden signaled Spencer to pause and said, "Miss Wilson, there's something I need to discuss with you. Spencer, Kason, would you mind leaving us alone for a bit?"

Spencer set aside the toothpick, clapped his hands, and said, "Seems like the perfect time for

a snack break. I'll be back later to check on you. Kason, I'm heading out."

Kason lingered only briefly and said, "I'll be just outside. Let me know when you're finished talking.”
