Chapter 83 Kason Values Your Opinion The Most

After assessing Kaiden, Norah confirmed that his condition matched his description. With a nod of relief, she reassured him, "Your body seems fine. Just make sure to get plenty of rest. As for Kason, however, he will need to remain hospitalized for a while."

Kaiden had already talked with Kason and gained insight into Kason's reason for undergoing tendon surgery.

"That's good news. Actually, I was quite surprised when I learned Kason had undergone surgery recently. You know, he's a 100% workaholic yet he had heeded your advice for surgery. It seems to me he values your opinions. I guess you might need to personally urge him to take good care of himself moving forward, Kaiden teased.

At Kaiden's words, Norah recalled the scene when she visited Kason after work for the past few days. She often found him tirelessly typing away at his computer instead of resting.

"Sufe, I'll remind him."

As Norah and Joanna reached Kason's ward, they noticed the stern expression on his face as he engaged in a serious conversation with a man standing nearby. The man standing nodded anxiously, clearly affected by the gravity of the discussion.

When Kason heard chatter at the door, he glanced over, visibly irritated, until he recognized his

visitors, causing his impatience to dissipate immediately.

Kason concluded the discussion by instructing, "Follow my directions. You are free to leave now."

The man nodded respectfully and departed, acknowledging Norah as he passed.

Norah's eyes trailed behind the man, identifying him as a soldier from Kason's unit. A fact Kason had previously shared with her.

As Norah walked forward, Kason's icy demeanor melted away, and he greeted her warmly, "Norah, you're here."

Joanna, observing their interaction, looked intrigued, sensing there was more to their relationship.

Norah nodded. "I'm here to check on you. Remember to take good care of your right hand. If you experience any discomfort, inform the nurse on duty. They can provide pain relief through medication or an injection.”

Norah reiterated this advice during each visit.

Amusement twinkled in Kason's eyes as he replied, "Understood. Will do."

Contrary to his words, when Kason encountered pain, he endured it stoically without seeking any form of relief, feeling too embarrassed to voice his discomfort.

Norah shifted Kason's computer away, her tone firm yet caring. "I've told you before, Kason, you must rest and avoid working. Yet every time I visit, you're still working."

Kason lowered his gaze, masking the mischievous glint in his eyes. While he devoted most of the day to resting, he set aside a specific time each day to attend to his work. He knew Norah would visit him at that time frame.

"I am the head of the Hayes family, carrying the responsibility on my shoulders," Kason stated.

Norah nodded. "I understand. I am not saying you shouldn't work. Do you understand the concept of moderation in work? Anyway, today's check-up and visit concludes here. Now, I'm off to enjoy myself with Joanna." With a lighthearted grin, she rose to leave.

A contemplative look crossed Kason's features. "To the Glamour Club?"

With eagerness, Joanna responded, "Yes, the Glamour Club is our regular spot for outings."

The Glamour Club's reputation for its exceptional facilities and ambiance grew as time passed, drawing in many young elites seeking entertainment and relaxation.

Joanna, a regular there, couldn't wait to introduce Norah to the Glamour Club right after she leamed about Norah's having signed the divorce papers.

A look of concem clouded Kason's expression. "It's perfectly fine for both of you to go out,

but I can't help but worry about a potential repeat of the last incident. Two bodyguards are

stationed at the entrance. Norah, please take them with you to ensure your safety.

Before Norah could respond, Joanna interjected, "Who goes to the Glamour Club with bodyguards? You..."

However, she stopped mid-sentence, recalling that both Sean and Kason brought bodyguards with them on their trip to the Glamour Club.

"Well, I suppose it should be alright," Joanna remarked, clearing her throat before offering an

awkward smile.

Norah chuckled. "Don't worry. Keep these bodyguards with you for protection. Joanna and I will be just fine."

Determined to avoid danger, Norah vowed to exercise caution throughout her visit to the

Glamour Club. She acknowledged Kason's concem as valid and appreciated his thoughtfulness.

"Alright, let's put a lid on it. We'll look after ourselves. Take care of your hand. See you later." With a wave, Norah exited the hospital alongside Joanna.

On the second floor of the Glamour Club, seated in a chamber, Norah spilled every detail to Joanna about recent events that had happened during Joanna's absence.

Joanna's eyes widened in shock as she clutched a glass, firing off a barrage of questions.

"What the hell? Kaiden was kidnapped with you then? And you had took down those people? Mr. Scott personally came to pick you up? You even spent the night at his place? My goodness! So much unfolded while I was gone. I shouldn't have left! I regret missing all the drama firsthand!"

"I always knew that you were a force to be reckoned with. Those ordinary kidnappers couldn't have the chance to lay a hand on you. Kaiden's unlucky. I'm at a loss for what to say about him being mainly responsible for getting you kidnapped. I have to say he's a bit foolish. I used to think he was a playboy, but my judgment was off," Joanna commented after a while.

One of Norah's impressions of Kaiden was that he was talkative, especially around familiar people.

Norah recalled when the police arrived to take her statement, informing her of Juan's death. When Sean showed up to pick her up, she hadn't yet killed Juan. She wondered if Sean's people had finished the job.

Norah lowered her head and took a sip of the pungent liquor, feeling a slight burn as it slid down her throat. Sean had neglected to mention this detail, only emphasizing that she should insist those kidnappers died due to infighting when questioned by the police.

"Kaiden's personality isn't something you can grasp after a few encounters. It requires long-term interaction. Actually, it always takes a long time for one to know other people. Take you for instance. I used to think you were a rebellious little princess, but it turns out you were just putting on an act, Norah remarked.

Joanna chuckled, reminiscing about her embarrassing moments. "Let's not linger on the past, Norah. Spare me the teasing. I was quite immature then and had my fair share of awkward moments. Fortunately, your discerning eye recognized my potential and guided me back on track. That was when I truly began to shine."

Norah welcomed Joanna into her fold due to Joanna's esteemed lineage as a member of the Andrews family, remarkable personality, and steadfast devotion. Joanna's readiness to support Norah demonstrated the profound connection between them, ensuring that Joanna remained forever cherished by Norah.

Shifting the topic, Joanna said, "But I sense a different vibe between you and Kason."

With a mischievous smile, Joanna teased, "Every time Kason calls your name, Norah, the tendemess in his eyes appears on the brink of overflowing."

Norah raised an eyebrow, confused. "Really? Isn't it just typical interactions between people of the opposite sex?"

Initially, Norah harbored mischievous motives to tease Kason, but subsequently, she consistently adhered to proper etiquette. Never once did she cross any lines.

Joanna insisted, "You appear blind to it, Norah. I stood outside his ward and noted Kason's

change in demeanor when you walked in. He went from icicle to scalding hot desert sand when

he saw you. The transition was so obvious!"

Joanna was sensitive to this shift. She was on the verge of sharing more insights when Norah's phone rang, prompting Joanna to fall silent and diverting her attention to savoring her drink. Noticing Sean's name on the phone screen, Norah hesitated for a few seconds before answering.
