Fated to Love You Again (Shawn and Norah)

Chapter 266 Reluctant to Let Go

As she watched him walk away, tears began to fall uncontrollably down Norah's cheeks.

One drop, two drops...

Soon, they soaked the blanket draped over her.

The bedroom door was slammed shut, and Shawn came out.

Soon, another bang came over.

Norah knew that he had left her house.

She threw her head back, trying to contain her emotions.

Then she used her hands to wipe away the tears.

She told herself, "Norah, don't cry. Stay strong. You're the best.

"You didn't do anything wrong. You're just tired, and you don't want to receive further harm."

Holding the blanket, she cried until she fell asleep.

The lights in the room remained on.

Little did she know that Shawn stayed outside the building all night.

When Anthony went to pick up Shawn, it was around eleven o'clock at night. He assumed that his boss had already finished supper, so he waited outside the hospital.

When Shawn came out, the situation was completely unexpected.

He clutched his chest, looking despaired, sad, and painful.

Anthony immediately rushed forward to support him and helped him into the car.

Just as he was about to drive off, Shawn's voice came from behind. "You can go back. I want to stay here for a while."

"I'll stay with you," Anthony said.

Originally, he thought that Shawn was reluctant to leave Miss Chase, so he wanted to spend a little more time there.

An hour, two hours....

Thinking back to the sorrowful expression on Shawn's face when he came out, Anthony finally woke up from his reverie. He realized that Shawn and Miss Chase might have fought. The weather was cold that night.

The temperature dropped significantly in the middle of the night.

Instead of sitting inside, Shawn leaned against the body of the car, gazing up at Norah's room.

Anthony noticed that the lights in Norah's room remained on, and Shawn continued to gaze from afar.

"Norah, do you really not want to see me?

"The lights in your room are still on. Doesn't that mean that you still have some lingering attachment to me? Deep down, you still care about me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so worried when you learned about my injury. You still have feelings for me, don't you?"

Shawn looked up at the light in Norah's room and asked himself these questions.

But in the end, he couldn't find any satisfactory answer.

The wind howled, and the temperature continued to drop.

"Mr. Lawson, let's go back to the hospital. You're injured, and it's getting colder outside. If you continue to stay in the cold like this, it will be difficult for your wounds to heal."

But Shawn continued looking at the light, as if he hadn't heard Anthony.

Anthony sighed and suggested again, "Mr. Lawson, it's windy and cold outside. If you want to stay, you can get in the car. It's warmer there."

Only then did Shawn move a little from his motionless posture.

However, he just glanced at Anthony and asked faintly, "Do you think she will forgive me?"

Anthony's lips parted, but no words came out.

He wasn't Miss Chase, so how would he know if she would forgive Shawn or not?

But from Shawn's looks, Anthony could tell that he was serious this time.

But Miss Chase was determined.

Thinking about everything between them, Anthony couldn't help but sigh.

Alas! Love was really unpredictable.

During those years of marriage, Norah loved Shawn wholeheartedly, with her heart and eyes focused only on him, but Shawn was only bearing Lilian in his heart. Now they were divorced, and Lilian was gone.

Norah finally let go of her obsession, but Shawn had become the obsessed one.

The two of them seemed to have been missing each other all along.

As a bystander, Anthony felt a bit sorry for them.

Knowing that he couldn't persuade his boss, he quickly drove to the nearest place to get a coat and draped it over Shawn's shoulders.

Then Anthony noticed the cigarette butts scattered on the ground under Shawn's feet.

He had smoked a lot.

Reaching out, Shawn touched the cigarette case and took it out.

But it was already empty.

He turned to look at Anthony and raised an eyebrow. "Do you have any cigarettes? Give me a pack."

Anthony knew he couldn't stop the man, so he handed over all his cigarettes.

Until dawn, the cigarettes almost had never gone out. There was always a spark dancing between his fingers. Anthony cleaned up the cigarette butts on the ground before taking Shawn back to the hospital.

While at work, Norah couldn't stop thinking about Professor Greer mentioned by Matthew.

When she had some free time, Norah asked Dora to help take care of her work and went to see Susie. Before entering, Norah knocked on the door.

"Norah, come in." Seeing that it was her, Susie said warmly, "I was just about to look for you."

"Dr. Hughes, is there something wrong with my work recently?" Norah was a little nervous.

Susie smiled and said, "No need to be so anxious. I just wanted to talk to you about your experience at the hospital. It's been a month since you came here. Have you encountered any difficulties, whether in your work or personal life? Anything."

Norah originally thought that there must be something wrong with her work and she was going to be criticized.

After all, she had heard that the interns under Susie were always challenged and shed quite a few tears.

Susie was known for being strict.

So, her heart had been pounding nervously.

But she didn't expect that Susie was only concerned about her well-being. Norah immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

"Dr. Hughes, thank you for your concern. Everything is fine for me at the hospital," Norah answered truthfully.

Thinking about the matter with Professor Greer, Norah gathered her courage and said, "Dr. Hughes, may I ask you for a favor?" Sensing the solemness in her tone, Susie immediately put down her book and asked seriously, "Did anything go wrong?"

Norah handed the prepared medical report of Kaitlyn to Susie.

After reading it, Susie was silent for a while and asked, "Is this patient your relative?"

"She's the mother of a close friend of mine. Dr. Hughes, could you please help check on her?"

Susie put down the report and sighed. "The situation is indeed not very good, but..."

She paused for a moment, but since it was Norah in front of her, she didn't hide it. "If Professor Greer were still here, there might be hope. Back in the day, Professor Greer personally performed two surgeries like this, setting a precedent nationwide, and both were highly successful.

"However, Professor Greer has been retired for several years now and hasn't been involved in medical matters for a long time.

"Dr. Hughes, I came here today to ask if there is any possibility of inviting Professor Greer to participate in this surgery," Norah said.
