?Chapter 1117:


    Gil stood, clearing his throat slightly. “Norah, my wife and I just want to see you well. Also, when do you n on returning to Silver Boulder Private Hospital? Jamison keeps asking about you.”


    Trudy interjected, “Let’s not talk about work now, Gil. Norah, feel free to visit us anytime.”


    Norah nodded, smiling. “Of course, I will.”


    Susanna paused before speaking thoughtfully. “Norah, I’ve always admired you, and it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other. If there’s anything I need to improve, just let me know. And one more thing, when are you and my brother nning to get married?”


    Laughter filled the room.


    “Yeah, you two have been together for quite some time. It’s time to get married.”


    “Looks like Sean can’t wait to make you his wife.”


    “Sean’s definitely eager to get the ball rolling!”


    While everyoneughed, Kason found little amusement. He observed Norah and Sean enjoying the moment, his emotions a mix of bitterness and difort. He often felt like an outsider, struggling to engage in their vibrant conversations. Even though Norah treated him the same as before, something felt different.


    Kaiden nced at Kason with sympathy, understanding the frustration he felt at the public disy of affection between Norah and Sean.


    Theughter continued as Norah fielded most of the jokes before excusing herself to the bathroom. When she emerged, she found Kason standing outside the bathroom, shrouded in a haze of smoke.

    The smoke softened the harsh lines of his face as he stared at the floor, his demeanor tinged with sadness. He looked up at her approach, holding a cigarette between his fingers.


    “Sorry, just needed a smoke. Is it okay here?” he asked.


    He was already snuffing out the cigarette, flicking it into a nearby trash bin.


    “Yeah, it’s fine,” Norah responded. She wasn’t bothered by smoking; asionally, she indulged when stressed.


    She washed her hands, maintaining a careful distance from Kason. Leaning against the wall, Kason watched her reflection in the mirror.


    “Norah, are you happy with Sean?”


    She turned off the tap and reached for a paper towel.


    “Absolutely. I’m happy.”


    Kason managed a bitter smile as he remembered the happiness Norah and Sean had shown earlier. The sight pierced his heart. They were indeed a perfect match. Yet, he was merely a transient figure in Norah’s life. Despite this, Kason couldn’t bring himself to let go. He had known Norah before Sean ever did, but his chances with her were slim.
