?Chapter 264:


    Reclining with his back against the headboard, Kason found a rare moment offort. His striking looks had captivated many of Glophia’s elite, yet now, his gaze was fixed solely on the documents sprawled before him on a tray table.


    Kaiden observed quietly, understanding that Kason’s thoughts were likely with Norah.


    Shifting his mood, Kaiden ventured, “Uncle Kason, do you have a moment?”


    Kason, his eyes still on the papers, responded curtly, “What is it?” He suspected Kaiden was seeking another favor, perhaps caught up in some new mischief.


    “Uncle, any word on Norah?” Kaiden asked.


    Lifting his gaze, Kason’s voice carried a mix of impatience and resignation. “Why bring this up? I haven’t crossed paths with Norah in days. Aren’t you aware?” Their interactions had been nonexistent, both in person and over the phone. The sight of Norah’s picture on his phone often left Kason lost in thought, reminiscing about past events.


    “Uncle, do you harbor feelings for Norah?” Kaiden probed, trying to gauge Kason’s reaction. It was a new line of questioning for Kaiden, driven by a suspicion that Kason might indeed have feelings for Norah.


    Kason felt a stir at the question. “And why do you ask?”


    “It’s important, Uncle Kason. It’s tied to some news I need to share.”


    Kason’s expression grew troubled, and he shook his head in denial. “I’m not sure.” He couldn’t determine if his deep care for Norah was a sign of affection.

    His feelings for Norah wereplex. He found joy in her happiness and sought to shield her from sadness. Herughter was a sound he wished to hear endlessly, and her wellbeing was always a concern.


    Norah had been a beacon for him on numerous asions, significantly impacting the Hayes family.


    Kaiden’s voice carried a hint of disappointment. “Uncle, how can you be unsure of your feelings for her? If Norah and I were in danger, whom would you save first?”


    “Norah,” Kason replied without hesitation.


    Kaiden nodded, affirming his thoughts. “There you have it. She’s your instinctive choice. You do care for Norah, even if you won’t admit it.”


    All at once, Kason’s mood shifted to one of deep distress. “But it’s toote now. It doesn’t matter anymore.”


    Kason’s heart raced with anxiety. “What do you mean, ‘toote’? Tell me, Kaiden.”


    “Norah is seeing Mr. Scott.”


    “I found out a few days back. I just got confirmation from Mr. Scott’s sister.”


    Kason’s heart sank, his gaze dropping. “Is that true? Well, that’s good for her.”


    As he tried to organize the files in front of him, his efforts only led to further disarray.


    “Norah didn’t have it easy with the Carters. Mr. Scott is a good man. He’ll take care of her.”


    The sadness in Kason’s eyes was evident to Kaiden as the papers scattered once again. Kaiden let out a heavy sigh.


    “Uncle Kason, we can’t turn back time. If only you had recognized your feelings sooner.”


    “My feelings for her?” Kason pondered silently, his movements halting. His interest in Norah had grown from her reputation as the Supernatural Doctor. Learning of her struggles with the Carters, he felt a deep sympathy.


    Norah was remarkable, yet her talents were overshadowed by the constraints of her marriage to Derek. Kason med Derek for her predicament.


    After her divorce, Norah’s fame as the Supernatural Doctor soared. She ventured into contests and took up a surgeon’s post at Silver Boulder Private Hospital. It was then Kason realized she was the same Norah he had admired. But by the time his affection turned to love, it was toote. She was with someone else, leaving him powerless.


    Kaiden took the file from his uncle’s hands.


    “Norah would want you to rest. You’ve been at these files for hours. Please, take a break.”
