Chapter 36:
Norah found herself waiting until Sunday without a word from Derek. She felt a mix of frustration and confusion
over his hesitation regarding the finalization of the divorce. She couldn’t understand the sudden shift in his
attitude toward the matter. This was the only concern weighing heavily on her mind, occupying her thoughts day
and night.
Determined, Norah dialed Colan’s number, ready to officially take legal action against Derek and proceed with
the divorce. She was prepared to follow through with it to the end, even if Derek decided to create a scene.
On Monday, Norah officially started her new role at Silver Boulder Private Hospital in the Cardiac Surgery
Department. Gil personally escorted her to the registration desk at the department. As they entered, the bustling
energy of the hospital immediately caught their attention. Doctors and nurses moved swiftly around them,
attending to their tasks.
Navigating the busy corridors, Gil remarked, “Norah, as you can see, it's a hectic place. You're new here, so
there’s a lot to take in. Jamison expects a high level of expertise.”
Gil believed Norah's talent could benefit many patients, and he was eager to learn from her. As a newcomer to
the Cardiac Surgery Department, Norah's immediate surgical duties might be delayed for up to two months. He
admired her abilities, recognizing her as a standout in the medical field, far surpassing his own skills.

considerable skill gap between himself and Norah.

Gil conveyed his admiration through those words.
With her hands in her pockets, Norah assured Gil, “Whether it’s a full house or not, be it the Neurosurgery
Department or the Cardiac Surgery Department, I've got it covered.”
Gil sighed, saying, “Understanding young people is becoming quite the challenge for me. Anyway, meet Director

gestured toward the individual inside.
Jamison Herrera, a gentle and friendly elderly man, didn’t seem bothered by the door being nudged open. Rising
from his chair, he said, “Gil, you nearly broke my door with that shove. You're escorting this young lady here,
which suggests she’s quite important to you.”
Jamison, standing at a modest 5’6”, appeared both friendly and competent. While speaking, he glanced at Norah,
who stood behind Gil. Norah sported a white coat branded with “Norah, Cardiac Surgery Department” on the left
side.
Her appearance was breathtaking, leaving an indelible impression on everyone who saw her. Jamison couldn't
recall ever having someone so strikingly beautiful on the hospital staff. Norah stood quietly, resembling a piece
of fine art.
Jamison, not one to place importance on looks, found himself momentarily taken aback by Norah's beauty.
“Norah, are you sure about joining the Cardiac Surgery Department?”
Norah's specific request to be part of the Cardiac Surgery Department was something Jamison needed tto
process.
Jamison had known about this news during the meeting last week, but he hadn't anticipated her striking
appearance. The sight of such a beautiful woman in the demanding field of the Cardiac Surgery Department
sparked his curiosity.
Norah confirmed with conviction, “Yes, I'm sure.”
Norah was confident that Gilda and Chayce could manage the Wilson family’s affairs for her; her heart was set
on practicing medicine.
Gil, observing the exchange, chimed in, “Jamison, you're gaining a real asset in your team. Look after her. And if
Norah's schedule allows, | might ask her to joinin surgeries in my department! Alright, I'll go back now.” He
gave Norah's shoulder a friendly pat and reassured her, “If you need anything, just cfind me.” These words
weren't just for Norah—they were meant for Jamison to show him how much she was valued.
Jamison briefly acknowledged Gil's departure. “Okay, hurry up and leave.”
Gil grumpily rapped his nose and exited Jamison’s office, hands tucked behind him.
Jamison then turned his attention to Norah directly.
“Yes?” he asked.
Norah, sensing his serious tone, inquired, “What's on your mind?”
Jamison replied earnestly, “In this department, we uphold stringent professional standards. Regardless of your
previous engagements, | expect diligent study and no slacking off here.”
Norah responded, “I didn’t chere to slack off.”
Jamison waved his hand dismissively. “Actions speak louder than words. No need for assurances now. Come, let
With that, he took the lead, and Norah followed him.
Two doctors, a man and a woman, were seen deeply focused on their studies, enveloped in silence.
“Everyone, take a break from your work,” Jamison announced, clapping to draw attention. “I'd like to introduce
Dr. Wilson, the newest addition to our team. Please, let's welcher warmly.”
Jamison initiated the applause, which was soon echoed by the two doctors. They cast intrigued glances at Norah,
curious about why someone as young and attractive as her had chosen to work in the Cardiac Surgery
Department and whether she possessed the necessary surgical skills.
“Hello, everyone,” Norah said, offering a modest nod as her introduction.
Jamison kept his words to a minimum before leaving. One of the doctors, a good-looking man, rose to welcome
Norah and gestured toward a desk across from his.
“Dr. Wilson, this desk is for you,” he said.
Norah expressed her gratitude with a slight blink. “Thank you.”
This doctor, appearing to be in his late twenties with sharp features, exuded a mix of timidity and kindness. It
was his first encounter with a colleague of Norah's allure.
He rubbed his head awkwardly, saying, “Don’t mention it. We're now colleagues.”
“My name's Baylor Padilla. If you need anything or have any questions, just letknow.”
“Sure,” Norah responded after expressing her gratitude. She quickly organized her new workspace and turned on
the computer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince it was her first day, she began by familiarizing herself with the Cardiac Surgery Department's guidelines,
standard operating procedures, and patient profiles at Silver Boulder Private Hospital.
Thanks to her remarkable memory, Norah quickly absorbed the information. The department was bustling, with
many patients awaiting surgery and the wards nearly at full capacity.
As she settled in, a fellow doctor approached Norah's desk and said, “Dr. Wilson, are you familiar with where the
cafeteria is? | can show you the way.”
Norah, already well-acquainted with Silver Boulder Private Hospital, appreciated the gesture but technically
didn’t need guidance. However, she accepted the friendly offer from the female doctor and said, “That sounds
great, thank you.”
As they headed to the cafeteria, the doctor introduced herself. “I’m Jolie Austin. I've been at Silver Boulder
Private Hospital for three years. What about you? Where were you before this?”
“This is actually my first position,” Norah revealed.
Previously, Norah had only completed an internship at Silver Boulder Private Hospital.
Jolie was visibly impressed and replied, “That's incredible. To start your career in the Cardiac Surgery
Department here is quite an achievement.”
Given Silver Boulder Private Hospital's reputation for high recruitment standards, Jolie felt proud to have joined it
after three years at a major hospital, viewing her own path as noteworthy.
Jolie realized that Norah's direct entry into such a prestigious department without prior work experience marked
her as exceptionally talented. Indeed, the Cardiac Surgery Department not only offered high salaries but also
demanded specialized expertise from its doctors.
