Love on the Fast Track - Chapter 800

Chapter 800:

Was it Marlin? He was the only Boyd man who came to her mind. Turning back to the front desk, Edith asked in a gossipy tone, “Dr. Wilson, is Mr. Boyd the boyfriend you’ve been hiding from everyone? He seems like quite a catch, handsome, wealthy, and so considerate. Not only did he pay your bills, but he also made sure we knew about your condition, insisting on top-notch care for you.”

Norah came to an abrupt stop. Why would Marlin do something like this?

“Today, Mr. Boyd treated everyone in the emergency and cardiac surgery departments to desserts, all because of you.” Marlin, a well-known figure in Silverdale’s financial circles, was recognized by those familiar with local news. He generously treated everyone to delectable treats from the city’s best dessert shop — a gesture of true indulgence.

“Mr. Boyd is quite something. You should never let such a man go. Many women would envy your position.”

Norah hadn’t anticipated such gestures from Marlin before he left the hospital.

“Marlin Boyd isn’t my boyfriend. Sean holds that place in my life.”

Edith seemed to understand, nodding knowingly. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone else! You two should cherish what you have.” Recalling the delightful dessert Marlin had provided that afternoon, Edith resolved to fully support their love.

Norah hesitated, hovering on the edge of explaining herself once more. But when she caught Edith’s teasing stare, she held back.

It wasn’t just Edith; she knew everyone around might start thinking Marlin was her boyfriend. No matter how she tried to set the record straight, it would only come off as a desperate defense.

Meanwhile, Sean, her actual boyfriend, seemed indifferent to her illness. He stayed with another woman who had shown interest in him, even handing over his phone to her before heading off for a shower.

There could be a misunderstanding. But couldn’t he have made an effort to explain after seeing her call?

Suddenly, love felt draining. Her feelings were thrown into chaos because of one man.

Norah clenched her fist, feeling frustrated. After every quarrel, they would give each other the silent treatment. Honestly, she really hated it.

Yet Sean chose silence, offering no clarification. Her heart quivered with uncertainty.

After Norah shook off the lingering chill of her recent cold, she wasted no time heading back to her lab. Her focus was razor-sharp as she began working on the antidote for the poison she’d been researching. Known for her brilliance in pharmacology, it took her only a few days to crack the complex formula.

Once she was satisfied with the antidote, she carefully packaged it and sent it off to the Boyd family.
