Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 57:

Norah regretted trusting Derek once again. The divorce hadn't been finalized yet, and now, she had to take it to

court. The delay in the proceedings didn’t matter as long as it displeased the other party.

The janitor was right; Derek wasn’t in a hurry now. However, he might not remain calm in the future. After all,

Norah had seen Derek meeting Madeline's parents the last time. Marriage was the only solution to free Madeline

from the accusation of being a mistress.

If Derek wanted to marry Madeline, he'd have to plead with Norah to get a divorce. He would soon be crying and

begging Norah for one.

Norah no longer rushed for a divorce. She wanted to sever all ties with Derek, but she would patiently wait for

the day when Derek and Madeline crunning to her, seeking to finalize the divorce. She was determined to

make them have a tough tby then.

Meanwhile, Madeline fastened her seatbelt and turned to look at Derek. “Norah refused to sign the papers today.

Do you think we will win the case if we go to court? What do we do now, Derek?”

Derek gripped the steering wheel with one hand as he did the mental math. “Wait! Do you remember those

photos of Norah in the report of her background? With those photos, what could she use againstin court?”

Madeline's eyes widened as she thought about the photos. “You're right, Derek. Norah has nothing against us.

Everything is under your control.”

“Gosh, you're amazing!”

When Norah was with the Carter family, she maintained a low profile. The moment she left, she began acquiring

skills and getting acquainted with influential people. Despite working in the company for several years, she

never had the chance to connect with the Scott family. But now, she personally knows Mr. Scott. That's

unbelievable,” Derek commented.

“Perhaps Norah is living in the Scott family’s mansion at Dreamview Villas. People know Sean lives there. Other

residents there are rarely heard of. Norah seems to be quite close with Sean...” Madeline said meaningfully.

“Madeline,” Derek interrupted. “Look, I have nothing to do with Norah anymore. | don’t care where she lives or

whom she knows. It’s none of my concern. | only care about you. Will you stay withforever?”

Madeline looked at him dotingly. “Derek, as long as you're by my side, | will never give up on you. | want to

spend the rest of my life with you.”

“I wish for the same, Madeline. | love you,” Derek replied.

The two leaned closer and kissed passionately.

As Norah exited City Hall and headed to the parking lot, she coincidentally walked past a white sedan and

witnessed them kissing each other. She instinctively grabbed her phone and captured a series of photos. The

relentless clicking sound of the camera caught Derek's attention.

“Norah, are you out of your mind?” he snapped coldly. “This isn’t the tto take photos.”

Norah's face broke into a triumphant grin as she waved her phone. “Why not? This will be evidence in court

against you — evidence of your infidelity. Thank you both.”

“I'm leaving now.”

Norah walked smugly as Derek and Madeline screamed anxiously. She scuffed at them.

Though the divorce proceedings didn’t go as smoothly as Norah had expected, the defeated look on Derek's face

made her happy. She couldn't suppress her laughter.

“Do you have any good news? You seem to be in a good mood,” Susanna sat on the sofa and asked Norah during

the treatment.

The slight unhappiness from not having Norah stay for lunch the previous week vanished, and Susanna resumed

her cheerful demeanor. Norah didn’t notice Susanna’s disheartened look last time, especially after seeing her in

high spirits today.

“Nothing,” Norah replied.

Susanna shrugged, blinking. “Well, | must have mistaken.”

Susanna turned to Sean and asked, “How's our grandpa?”

Sean looked up from the computer. “Well, his condition seems to have improved. He stays awake longer than

before.”

Norah attended to two patients in the Scott family. Rodrigo’s condition had improved after several treatments.

Before, Rodrigo couldn't recognize anyone, but now, he had brief moments of staying conscious.

“I'll go check on our grandpa after the treatment,” said Susanna. Then, she...

Susanna turned to look at Norah. “How long will the treatment last? And how long will it take for my grandfather

to fully recover?”

“Miss Scott, my treatment will last for two more months. It requires a longer tfor full recuperation. As for

Rodrigo’s stroke, it will take just over a month for significant recovery,” Norah said without looking up.

The timeline was determined since the treatment began.

Susanna exclaimed, “Wow! So, it will only take a month for my grandpa to recover? Will he be able to recognize

us and talk to us?”

“Yes,” Norah nodded firmly. If the treatment was effective, Rodrigo would be able to walk without any support.

Sean placed a glass of water on the table. “Susanna, Supernatural Doctor is treating you. Speaking might disrupt

her thoughts. You'll have to face the consequences if she makes any mistakes.”

“I won't make any mistakes,” Norah calmly responded.

Sean averted his gaze, his face flushing in embarrassment. “I was just giving her an example, not doubting your

skills.”

Susanna stuck her tongue out playfully. “I know, I'm just bored. Sean, when will Norah be here again? Did you

tell her what | mentioned last time?”

Norah momentarily paused when she heard her nbut continued with the treatment.

“I've told her,” Sean replied softly, sitting at the desk in the living room with his back to them. “Miss Wilson

seems quite busy. She doesn’t have the tto chere for a talk.”

Not knowing Norah was the Supernatural Doctor, Susanna boldly said, “Sean, Norah is cool. | like her. When we

were having dinner the last time, she mentioned she is important to you, and you didn’t refute it.”

“Is that what you think? Do you have feelings for Norah? Otherwise, you wouldn't bring a stranger back to

Dreamview Villas. | haven't seen you treat any woman this way in all these years.”

Sean remained silent, and so did Norah.

After a while, Sean finally spoke. “Are you aware of Miss Wilson's situation?”

Susanna frowned. “I know. Phillip showed Norah's information to me. | don’t care about her past. What is

important is how you feel about her. Our family does not require strategic marriages to maintain our status. The

only prerequisite for my sister-in-law is that you like her. | believe our mom and dad will approve.”
