Aware that Sean had brought a doctor for Rodrigo, she had prepared a chair by the bed for Norah.
“Mr. Rodrigo Scott woke up early today, yet he still doesn’t recognize anyone,” she informed.
Sean gestured dismissively and said, “Molly, please go ahead downstairs. I’ll manage from here.”
“Alright. I’ll be in my room then. Mr. Sean Scott, just call if you need me,” Molly offered, exiting with a nod. Before leaving, Molly cast several lingering looks back at Sean and Norah, sensing something unique about their interaction.
After Molly left, Norah got straight to assessing Rodrigo’s health.
Lacking the sophisticated equipment found in hospitals, Norah relied on her expertise for the examination.
“Rodrigo had a stroke, didn’t he? It looks like the stroke led to paralysis on his right side and affected his speech and vision. It seems he can still regain consciousness occasionally,” Norah stated.
Sean, with a hint of hope in his eyes, confirmed, “Yes, he had a stroke. Since then, his condition has remained lifeless, and hospitals haven’t shown much improvement. That’s why I decided to bring him home and have a private physician visit regularly.”
Norah nodded and asked, “What have the doctors said about his chances of recovery?”
“They’ve all said he won’t be able to stand again.”
Norah sighed upon hearing this.
She knew that sometimes medical opinions could vary widely. While some conditions might be deemed hopeless by one group of doctors, Norah believed there was always a chance for recovery.
Sean observed from a distance as Norah concluded her assessment.
He then asked about his grandfather’s health, “How’s my grandfather doing now?”
Norah pulled up a chair, setting her backpack on the adjacent table before responding, “Following my intervention, Mr. Rodrigo Scott will be able to stand, speak, and recognize others.”
“Is that so?” Sean asked, seeking confirmation.
Norah confidently affirmed, “I wouldn’t make such a statement without certainty.”
Norah challenged Sean slightly, “Mr. Scott, if you don’t trust me, why did you invite me here?”
Sean, unfazed by her directness, assured her, “Miss Wilson, my faith in you is steadfast. I merely sought reassurance.”
With a soft laugh, he offered, “Should you require anything, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Norah focused on her obligations and replied promptly, “My schedule is quite packed, Mr. Scott. Unless there’s more to discuss, I’ll ask you to excuse me.”
As Sean left the room, he softly shut the door.
His expression turned cold when he recalled seeing those leftovers at the Hayes family’s residence yesterday, clearly eaten by Norah.
He instructed Molly, “Get ready for a lavish lunch.”
“You can ask for whatever you need.” The Scott family was known for their exceptional hospitality and culinary standards, surpassing those of the Hayes family.
Molly eagerly accepted, “Of course, Mr. Sean Scott! Are there any dietary restrictions?”
Sean momentarily hesitated before specifying, “Please exclude any pumpkin-based dishes.”
Molly was pleasantly surprised by his detailed instructions, recognizing a rare glimpse of consideration from Sean.
Despite Sean’s good treatment of Rodrigo, he usually seemed distant. Molly, hired as Rodrigo’s caregiver after his illness, knew Sean’s aloof yet kind-hearted demeanor quite well.
Seeing Norah’s interaction with Sean, Molly couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something special between them. As Norah stood by the bed, Sean’s gaze on her appeared unusually focused.
Furthermore, Sean could name Norah’s food preferences, indicating that she was important to him. The primary concern for Rodrigo involved complications from a stroke.
Norah diligently worked on Rodrigo, a visible effort marked by the sweat on her brow.
Wiping off her sweat casually, she observed Rodrigo’s condition.
Maybe because her treatment was based on yesterday’s assessment, Rodrigo seemed visibly better. After ensuring everything was in order and seeing Rodrigo comfortably asleep, Norah draped a blanket over him and left the room.
In the living room, a young girl, engrossed in her smartphone, looked up as Norah approached.
The young girl was clad in a neatly fitted white dress.
Her hair, lacking vitality, had taken on a yellowish tinge, and her prolonged illness had left her complexion pale.
Nonetheless, inheriting the Scott family’s excellent genes, she radiated an undeniable charm. With her slender chin and eyes that sparkled with kindness, she carried an air of fragility.
This was Susanna Scott.
She tilted her head and curiously asked, “Are you Supernatural Doctor? Are your abilities as remarkable as they say? Can you really heal my condition?”
Looking into Susanna’s eyes, filled with hope, Norah felt a wave of compassion.
The purity in Susanna’s gaze was striking, untainted by the world’s cynicism.
Norah settled beside Susanna on the couch, reassuringly stating, “Yes, I am Supernatural Doctor. I’ll do my best to heal your illness.”
Her tone was gentle and inviting, clearly aiming to comfort Susanna.
Curious about Norah’s face behind the mask, Susanna became more attentive upon hearing Norah’s captivating voice.
“You’ve got a beautiful voice,” Susanna complimented.
Norah couldn’t help but smile at Susanna’s endearing nature. Despite facing health challenges, Susanna’s spirits remained optimistic.
“Do you possess a vast knowledge of medicine? After all, being the famed Supernatural Doctor, your expertise must be unparalleled,” Susanna asked eagerly, leaning closer. “How will you go about examining me? I brought all my medical documents.”
Observing their close interaction, Sean interjected, “Supernatural Doctor doesn’t like others getting too close.”
Susanna quickly retreated to another couch, apologizing, “Oh, I’m sorry.”
