Chapter 186

Author: Luna Starling
From the way Jennifer had pieced their conversation together, it was obvious she’d guessed Eric wasn’t just anyone. She slipped Nora another message under the table.

[So Mr. Tall and Handsome is someone special to you? That’s why you wouldn’t hand me his contact?]

Nora sent back a single word: \[Exactly.]

That was enough to wipe the smirk off Jennifer’s face. She sat up straighter, suddenly all seriousness.

Not long after, Susie’s so-called cousin arrived with a swatch of fabric.

The moment Nora saw him, something about his face struck her as familiar, though she couldn’t place where.

“Nora, take a look. Is this the fabric you were after?” Susie passed it over.

She ran her fingers over the weave, studied the sheen, then nodded. “Yes. This is it.”

Susie smiled with satisfaction. “Perfect. Cousin, she’s a close friend. Give her your best price.”

The man held Nora’s gaze a moment, polite but assessing, then named a figure. Nora did the math, glanced at Eric, and when he gave no o

    Nora raised her voice, her patience finally snapping. “How have I not taken responsibility? The second I got the call, I rushed straight here! I’ve been trying to contact doctors nonstop since I arrived. What about you? Other than blaming me, what exactly have you done?”Lily folded her arms, her expression full of disdain. “What have we done? We’ve been here the whole time, worried sick! Unlike you, showing up late and still not finding a single decent doctor.”“Enough!” Anne cut in sharply, her voice echoing through the corridor. “This is not the time to argue! What matters now is saving your father.”Nora closed her eyes for a moment, forcing herself to calm down. “I’m already reaching out to everyone I know,” she said, voice tight with effort. “These things take time. So can you please be quiet for a few minutes and let me focus?”Just then, her phone rang again. Her heart leapt. Maybe this was the breakthrough she needed.She snatched up the call. “Hello?”“Nora,” said a fam

    The doctor removed his mask with a heavy sigh. “The patient is suffering from acute myocardial infarction. We’ve stabilized his condition for now, but it’s still extremely critical.”He glanced at the family, his tone serious. “Given our hospital’s current resources and staff, the surgical risk is high. My suggestion is to contact Professor Caldwell, one of the country’s top cardiologists. He has extensive experience and an exceptional success rate in cases like this.”Anne immediately spoke up, her voice trembling. “Money isn’t a problem. As long as he can be saved, we’ll pay whatever it takes. Please, doctor, tell us how to reach Professor Caldwell.”The doctor hesitated. “That’s the issue. Professor Caldwell’s schedule is completely full. Even if you manage to contact him, it’s uncertain whether he can come right away.”Lily’s voice cracked with panic. “Isn’t there any other way? Please, doctor, you have to save my dad.”The doctor shook his head helplessly. “We’ll continue wit

    David’s hands were still trembling after Nora hung up on him.“That ungrateful girl! That wretched girl!” he roared, his chest heaving with rage.Before Anne or Lily could respond, David suddenly swayed. His face turned pale, and the room began to spin before his eyes.“Dad!” Lily screamed, rushing forward just in time to catch him as his body went limp.Anne panicked and stumbled over to help, her voice rising in alarm.“David! David, can you hear me?”But his eyes had rolled back, his breathing shallow and uneven.“Call an ambulance!” Anne shouted.Lily’s fingers fumbled with her phone, tears spilling down her cheeks as she managed to dial the emergency number. “Please, hurry! My dad just collapsed!”Neither of them had ever faced something like this before. Panic filled the room.Within minutes, the sound of sirens tore through the air. Paramedics rushed in, quickly lifting David onto a stretcher and wheeling him toward the ambulance.Lily and Anne followed close behind.

    “Nora has someone new pursuing her now,” Lily said softly, keeping her gaze low as if she didn’t dare meet her parents’ eyes. “I know it’s not right for me to chase after Travis so soon after their divorce… but I really do like him.”She spoke meekly, voice trembling just enough to sound sincere, but her eyes flicked up occasionally to gauge their reaction.The moment Nora’s name came up, both David and Anne’s expressions darkened.No matter how disappointed they were in her, she was still their biological daughter. They couldn’t simply ignore her existence.David hesitated for a long moment.Anne sighed. “Just call her. Find out what she’s been doing. If she’s willing to come around, we can forget the past.”“Fine.”David took out his phone and dialed Nora’s number.Although their relationship had been strained, she hadn’t blocked them. The call connected after a few seconds, and her voice came through—cold and detached.“What is it this time?”Every call from them meant tro

    Travis clenched his jaw so hard it hurt.“Yeah, I’m crazy. Seeing you with Eric Woods drives me insane. Nora, what’s so good about him anyway? He’s been using you from the start.”His dark eyes burned red with anger.Nora hated that look, it made her uneasy, but she forced herself to stay calm.“Maybe Eric isn’t perfect,” she said quietly, “but in a lot of ways, he’s still better than you. Travis, we’re divorced. Please, stop showing up and trying to control my life.”They were over. Whatever she did, whoever she saw, he had no right to interfere.Travis’s expression darkened. A dangerous urge flickered through him, a part of him wanting to pin her down, to make her submit and stop talking back.But the memory of the last time, her terrified struggle and her desperate resistance flashed before his eyes.He exhaled sharply and stepped back.“Think about what you’re doing,” he said coldly, then turned and walked away.Nora watched him leave, a bitter smile curving her lips.Ev

    The men clearly didn’t come with good intentions. Nora’s brows furrowed.“He’s my employee” she said coolly. “Of course I know who he is.”She kept her tone polite but distant. There was no reason to say more.Under normal circumstances, that should’ve been enough to make them back off.But today, these men weren’t here for business—they were here for trouble.One of them smirked. “Come on, Ms. Yates. You really don’t know? Eric Woods may be the illegitimate son the Woods family doesn’t acknowledge, but that family’s still one of the most powerful in the city. Why would someone like him suddenly show up here as your ‘public relations manager’?”Their insinuations made Nora’s stomach tighten with irritation. She rose to her feet, refusing to even look at them.“Let’s go,” she said to Eric.But the men stepped sideways, blocking their way again, their smiles growing sharper.“An assistant’s salary can’t buy a gold VIP card like that,” one of them sneered. “Doesn’t it bother you,
