?Chapter 539:


    Initially, he had hoped to provoke Norah by dating Jolie, but Norah didn’t even give him a second look, showing no interest whatsoever.


    With a stern expression, he looked over the documents about Concord Hospital. Once there, he wondered if Norah could continue to maintain her arrogance. Norah might be the top doctor in their department, but Concord Hospital was filled with top-tier talent. Could Norah still stand out? He was curious to find out.


    After her shift, Norah was stopped by Luna again. Sha rushed to her and wrapped her arms around Norah’s leg, gazing up at her.


    “Auntie,e home, please. Let’s eat…”


    The girl’s eyes radiated pure innocence as she stared up at Norah.


    Norah shot a cool look at Luna, who was standing behind Sha. “I’ve told you before, treat me as a stranger. Don’te to me.”


    Luna, holding a gift bag in her left hand, offered a smile. “Today, I’m not here to thank you. Your advice led me to take Sha for a check-up, and the doctor caught the issue early. It’s nothing serious.”


    She lifted the bag slightly. “I brought these as a thank you.”


    “I appreciate the thought, but I don’t need gifts.” Norah’s tone was firm as she made it clear she wanted to keep her distance from Luna and her family. She had no interest in associating with them.


    Luna came closer to Sha and patted her head. “Norah, look at Sha. Isn’t she looking healthier? As a mother, my biggest fear is my child falling ill. Are you refusing my gift because you dislike Sha?”

    Sha silently wrapped her arms around Norah’s thigh, her eyes slowly bing misty. “Auntie, I like you.”


    Her eyes glittered with tears, but she kept them at bay, refusing to let them spill over.


    “I’ll be a good girl. Auntie, please don’t dislike me, okay?” Sha’s tearful voice and obedience tugged at Norah’s heart. Could she skip getting married and pregnant and directly be blessed with an adorable and well-behaved child like Sha?


    “Sha, don’t cry. I’m just talking to your mommy. Be good.”


    Whileforting Sha, Norah red at Luna coldly, not a hint of warmth visible in her eyes. “Luna, I don’t want to have this conversation again. Remember, I don’t have any rtion to your family anymore.”


    “Oh, Norah, you misunderstand me. I’m genuinely thankful for your help with Sha. I’ve not gotten you anything expensive. It’s just some fruit. If you ept this token, I’ll feel more at ease.”


    Indeed, one section of the bag was transparent, revealing red apples inside.
