Chapter 288 Doesn't Mind If It's Fake
"Dr. Chase, I apologize for coming to see you suddenly. I hope I didn't interrupt your work." The woman
held a designer handbag and was dressed fashionably and exquisitely.
"If you're busy with work, there's no rush. I can wait for you outside for a while."
Norah only felt her eyes bulging.
She and this woman had only met once or twice before. She thought she had explained things clearly
the last time, but she didn't expect it to still cause such a misunderstanding.
"Madam, did Dean Broser know that you came to see me?" Norah asked after thinking for a moment.
That was right. This woman was James's mother.
"He doesn't know for now." The woman smiled gently.
"Then should I tell Dean Broser?"
"No need, someone at home will tell him. He should know soon."
Now, Norah was caught in a dilemma.
She felt extremely awkward.
The woman seemed to have noticed and took the initiative to say, "It's okay. You don't have to worry
about me. I'll wait for you to finish your work."
Just then, Norah's phone rang. It was Dora calling, "Norah, do you have an emergency there? Come
back quickly. We have an urgent case."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"Madam, there's an emergency I have to attend to. If you have something to talk to me, please wait for
a moment. I'll come over after I'm done."
"Alright." The woman nodded with a warm smile, and her gaze and expression were very gentle.
Norah hurriedly ran towards the emergency room.
The entire resuscitation process was tense, and every second counted.
Luckily, the patient was brought in early. After the emergency procedures, the patient's condition
improved and there was no immediate danger. He could be transferred to the inpatient department and
then have surgery.
After taking a sip of water, both of them sighed in relief.
They had narrowly averted a crisis.
Dora finally spoke up, "Who was it that came to see you? You look so worried."
"It was Dean Broser's mother," Norah said truthfully.
"What? Dean Broser's..."
Dora was so shocked that her voice was a little loud.
Fortunately, Norah covered Dora's mouth in time and lowered her voice. "Keep it down."
"Norah, you're amazing. You even know Dean Broser's mother."
"We just happened to meet by chance. I invited a friend for coffee that day, and unexpectedly, Dean
Broser and his mother were also at the coffee shop. I happened to have offended Dean Broser that
day, right? So I went over to apologize and pay my respects. That was when his mother saw me."
"His mother even asked for my name at the time, but I didn't think much of it."
"But later, during the gathering, I got drunk, didn't I? Dean Broser gave me a ride, and I don't know how
his mother heard the rumors, but she thought Dean Broser brought me home and that I was his
girlfriend."
"The next day, she came to find me and even gave me a bunch of jewelry. I was really scared at that
time."
After finishing her story, Norah let out a sigh. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Dora, on the other hand, excitedly hugged her. "Wow, Norah, I feel like you've encountered a
benefactor. How lucky! Dean Broser's mother must have taken a liking to you and wants you to be her
daughter-in-law."
Norah immediately reached out and rejected her. "Stop it."
"I can't possibly like Dean Broser. Besides, I already have a man I like."
As soon as she said that, both of them suddenly felt a strange silence around them. It was a bit weird.
Dora was the first to turn around and see James. She...
She froze like a statue.
She quickly tugged at Norah's sleeve and whispered, "Norah, turn around quickly."
Norah turned around. When she saw James, she was completely stunned.
Thinking back to what she had just said, she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Oh no, although she was telling the truth, her leader heard her say something that hurt his self-esteem,
which would definitely have an impact on her.
'Norah, Norah, you're really asking for trouble. Why do you offend him every time?' She thought.
"Dean Broser, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" However, Norah tried to hold on and
forced a standard smile as she asked.
"I heard that my mom came to see you. Where is she?"
"Madam did come to see me, but I had an emergency just now, so I came over here. She said she's
waiting for me outside the department."
"So, are you saying you turned her away?"
When James asked, even Dora was worried about Norah, not to mention Norah herself.
Norah felt like she was really unlucky. Not only did she offend her superior, but now she had also
offended her superior's mother.
Just as she was racking her brains to come up with a reasonable excuse, James suddenly spoke up,
"Why are you nervous? I'm not blaming you."
Norah abruptly looked up. Huh? Was he not blaming her?
She thought she was about to get scolded.
"Dean Broser, you are truly magnanimous."
James looked at her current gentle appearance, which was completely different from her previous
fierce demeanor.
Unable to help but smile, he whispered, "What if I'm not magnanimous? Just a moment ago, you were
racking your brain trying to come up with excuses!"
Norah was speechless.
She felt that having such a shrewd leader was not a good thing, as he could see through everything.
"Let's go," James said at this moment.
"Huh?" Norah was surprised.
"Since my mom specifically came to the hospital to find you, she won't give up if she doesn't see you.
I'll go with you."
"Oh, okay."
Norah nodded and followed James.
Finally, the three of them arrived at James's office together.
"Mom, why didn't you give me a heads up before coming? By directly rushing over to find Dr. Chase,
you not only scared her but also delayed her work," James said while pouring a cup of tea.
His mother held a teacup and looked at Norah. "Dr. Chase, I'm sorry about that. Next time, I'll come
around noon to see you."
Norah smiled and replied, "No worries. Dean Broser, you're overreacting."
But in her heart, she hoped that his mother wouldn't come again.
James also poured a cup of tea for Norah, and she was flattered.
After receiving the tea, Norah repeatedly thanked him.
At the same time, she looked at James with a pleading look.
James saw it but ignored it.
"Son, calling her Dr. Chase all the time might come off as distant, right? You can just call her Norah."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Norah. "Dr. Chase, no, from now on, we'll call you by your
name. You won't mind, will you?"
Norah forced a smile. "I don't mind."
"See, Norah is very magnanimous. Don't always have a stern face and look cold. You'll scare her."
James covered his forehead and frowned deeply. Then he walked to his mother and spoke seriously,
"Mom, calm down."
"I've already told you that Norah and I are not in a romantic relationship. That day, she didn't go to my
house. It was purely out of sympathy and coincidence that I gave her a ride."
"Okay, even if that's the case, you've never given other girls a ride before. Are you sure you don't have
feelings for her?"
