Chapter 81 Kason's Murmurs

Despite the animosity she harbored against Jordy, Norah didn't display it as she dutifully discharged her responsibilities as a physician, updating Jordy on the patient's condition and delivering care directives.

Jordy stood there respectfully, nodding repeatedly. "Dr. Wilson, thank you so much. I'm sorry for letting the arrogance get the better part of me and having uttered those disrespectful words. It won't happen again. I promise."

Norah maintained her poker face, responding coolly, "Alright."

Norah grasped Jordy's polite facade was merely for the benefit of the Andrews family lurking in the background. Without their support, she could have found herself in trouble caused by him and his crew the night they first crossed paths. Jordy was a master of deception.

Norah scoffed. As long as he didn't push her buttons, she was okay, but if he dared, she wouldn't hesitate to clap back!

After wrapping up the surgery, Norah headed back to the Cardiac Surgery Department.

"Dr.' Wilson, Jamison wants a word with you," Jolie informed Norah upon the latter's retum to the department.

Before reaching her desk, Norah detoured to Jamison's office.

Since the surgery yesterday afternoon, Jamison had assigned Norah four more patients. Norah had the heaviest workload in the department currently, but she found fulfillment in her work and had no qualms about it.

"The Hayes family scheduled a tendon grafting surgery for Mr. Hayes and specifically asked for you. Actually, I don't get why they didn't pick someone from orthopedics instead of insisting on you?" Jamison shared.

Jamison's words were tinged with confusion. Norah was primarily a doctor in the Cardiac Surgery Department, only occasionally lending her expertise to the Neurosurgery Department. He wondered if Norah had any knowledge about tendon grafting. Plus, Mr. Hayes, the head of the Hayes family, had a significant reputation in Glophia. The reason behind the specific requirement of having Norah operate was a puzzle for Jamison.

Norah sighed inwardly at Kason's swift maneuvering. I have a personal connection with Mr. Hayes. I persuaded him to have the surgery done at Silver Boulder Private Hospital."

Hearing this, Jamison's face lit up with realization. "Ah, I see. But can you handle a tendon

grafting surgery? I heard about your stellar performance in the Neurosurgery Department today.

You're skilled in cardiac surgery and neurosurgery, but what about orthopedics?"

Norah replied calmly, "I have some knowledge in that area."

Jamison's expression darkened. "What do you mean? If you're not fully confident, why agree to Mr. Hayes' surgery? If anything goes wrong, it could spell trouble for your career. Mr. Hayes is a big shot in Glophia, after all."

Jamison didn't want Norah to jeopardize her career for a fleeting moment of glory.

Misinterpreting Norah's modesty for incompetence, Jamison continued, "Listen, decline this surgery for him. The orthopedic department at Silver Boulder Private Hospital has competent doctors. It's not worth risking your career. With your medical skills, becoming a shining star in Glophia is just a matter of time."

Amid yesterday's surgery conducted by Norah, Norah's extensive medical knowledge and deft surgical techniques had left a lasting impression on Jamison.

Norah found it somewhat amusing and touching. Jamison was someone who appreciated talent and genuinely cared about her career.

"I appreciate your concem, Jamison. But there's no need to persuade me. I've done my research and have confidence in it. Let's schedule the surgery for this afternoon. I'll start rearranging my patients tomorrow," Norah declined firmly. Jamison was unaware that Kason was arranged by her, which had led to his concern.

"Okay, since you're sure about it, I won't push any further." Seeing that his persuasion was falling on deaf ears, Jamison relented. After having Norah in the Cardiac Surgery Department for a while, he understood her character, a quiet force to be reckoned with.

"Here are the materials. Perform the surgery whenever you're ready." Jamison handed over the materials. "When you do the surgery, take some of the department's doctors with you. Let them observe and leam from you."

Norah nodded. "Sure."

In fact, earlier this morning, Jamison had shown the recording of Norah's yesterday's surgery to the department's doctors for analysis and praised Norah's quick thinking and surgical prowess.

Jolie, seeing Norah return, pulled up a chair beside her, inquiring, "Dr. Wilson, what did Jamison want? Are you doing surgery this afternoon? Can I assist you? Dr. Padilla mentioned that your surgeries are exceptionally skilled, and I'd love to leam from you."

Norah maintained her impassive expression as she organized the items on her desk. "Well, maybe next time. I have one surgery for another department this afternoon, so I can't take you with me."

Jolie probed, "What surgery? Can't I come along to observe and leam?"

"Nope. The arrangements are all set."

Jolie's disappointment was evident in her reply. "Oh, okay. Just remember to take me next time. I'll go do rounds."

Jolie returned to her desk, grabbed the patient records, and left the department.

The nurse had coordinated with Kason regarding the timing of the surgery. Kason arrived at Silver Boulder Private Hospital promptly at 2 p.m...

Inside the ward, Norah saw Kason, already changed into hospital attire.

"Norah, you're here, Kason greeted Norah, settling onto the bed, and complying with the nurse's examination.

"Yeah. Don't worry. The surgery will be quick, and I'll ensure you make a full recovery, Norah reassured him confidently. "You'll be feeling like your old self in no time!"

With her exceptional medical skills, Norah was sure about this when those words escaped her lips.

Kason remained composed. "Thank you, Norah."

As Norah had said, the surgery went smoothly.

To facilitate Kason's tendon recovery, Norah decisively tackled each tendon, repairing them one by one. As the anesthesia began to wear off, Norah watched as the nurse wheeled Kason into a regular ward.

After completing the necessary paperwork and nearing the end of the workday, Norah went to check on Kason's condition. As she entered, she heard Kason murmuring, "Nora, Norah..."

Beside Kason sat a visibly concerned Kaiden, his arm wrapped in bandages.

Hearing movement at the door, Kaiden tumed and asked, "Norah, what brings you here?"

"I performed Kason's surgery. I came to check on his progress."

Kaiden stood up, making room. "Kason hasn't woken up yet, and he keeps calling out someone's name..."

Approaching the bedside, Kason's words became clearer. "Nora, Norah..."

Kaiden hesitated, wondering if the one Kason had been calling for was Norah from the Wilson family. But he decided against asking, fearing that Norah could take offense.

Norah's expression subtly shifted as her gaze settled on Kason. She wondered if he had remembered something.

"He's still under general anesthesia. It'll take some time. Kaiden, you're still recovering yourself. Why are you here? Kason has plenty of people looking after him now." Norah issued the eviction notice subtly. Before entering the ward, she had noticed four bodyguards and two nurses stationed at the entrance.
