Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 1221:

“Norah?”

Keenan’s voice rasped as he looked at Norah with affection, watching her settle on a chair beside his bed. “This is our first time meeting, and I instructed your uncle to give you something from the black safe in my room as a gift.” He spoke slowly, pausing to catch his breath after every few words.

Norah listened patiently, her hand covering his, the warmth of his skin causing her heart to flutter. This was her grandfather.

“Grandpa,” she cooed. “I’m Norah Wilson. You must have heard about me from Mom.”

She offered a sweet, childlike smile. “Mom might not have mentioned, but I’m a very accomplished doctor.” She blinked playfully, the light accentuating her dimples. “So don’t worry, I’ll do everything I can to help you live a few more years.”

Keenan’s eyes, cloudy and dim, shifted slightly. His failing eyesight made it difficult to see clearly. “I’m aware of my condition. Just seeing your mother again has fulfilled my final wishes,” he sighed.

As his end drew near, his longing to see his daughter intensified. Now that he had, he felt at peace, even if death came tonight.

“Grandpa, give me a chance. Trust in yourself, and you will improve.”

As Norah spoke, she conducted a brief examination of his physical condition. With her unique skills, she uncovered numerous factors contributing to his declining health. The most severe issue was his coronary heart disease, which would require surgery to potentially extend his life by several years.

Luckily, Norah, well-versed in various medical fields, particularly in cardiac surgery, had performed coronary surgeries many times before.

Keenan gave a resigned nod. This first meeting left a strong impression. Her confident presence inspired his trust. Despite his looming mortality, he was ready to cooperate with her.

Norah discerned her grandfather’s thoughts—they were clear, and he didn’t conceal them. She smiled reassuringly. “Grandpa, get some rest. I’ll come back to see you tomorrow.”

After Norah exited the room, Bernice grasped her hand, her eyes filled with anticipation. “Norah, how is he?” Huntley was still in disbelief. Despite having consulted numerous renowned doctors about Keenan’s condition, none had made a difference. How could his young niece possibly manage to treat such a severe illness?noveldrama

Bernice kept her explanations brief and chose not to disclose Norah’s full capabilities yet. She was confident her brother would understand once they saw the outcomes.

Caylee, observing from nearby, appeared doubtful. Given Norah’s youth, she seemed too inexperienced to handle Keenan’s case.
