Chapter 479
Fortunately, she quickly shook the strange thought from her mind and walked briskly toward Rosalind’s room.
When Rosalind learned that Wade had arranged the private room, she insisted Noreen thank him in person. It was just good manners. But before she went, Rosalind voiced her concern.
“You broke up with Seth, yet you’re still in contact with Wade. Aren’t you worried about what people will say?”
Noreen countered, “What could they say? That I don’t have my priorities straight? Or that I’m playing hard to get, trying to cling to Seth even after the breakup?” She scoffed at the idea. “If Wade has a relationship with everyone in Seth’s life, does that mean I have to keep my distance from all of them? Why should I be the one to change my life?”
Just as she finished, Wade’s voice drifted in from the doorway. “Well said.”
Mother and daughter turned to see Evelyn wheeling Wade into the room, both of them smiling.
Wade’s expression was one of genuine admiration for Noreen. “In this world, every person is an individual. You have to separate the issues. He is him, and you are you.”
Noreen stood up. “Mr. Harcourt, what are you doing at the hospital? Are you not feeling well?”
“Just a routine check-up,” Wade replied.
Evelyn explained, “I was downstairs getting his results when I saw you in the queue, so I mentioned it to Mr. Harcourt.”
That was when Wade had stepped in, arranging a private suite for Rosalind.
“I’ve already spoken with the hospital staff,” Wade added. “The service here is more comprehensive, which means you can focus on your work without worrying.”
“Thank you, Mr. Harcourt,” Noreen said sincerely.
Rosalind added, “We’re so sorry to have troubled you.”
Later, as Noreen escorted Wade back to his room, he asked about InnoCore’s IPO, offering invaluable advice from his own experience-what pitfalls to avoid, what preparations to make. His insights were exactly what she needed.
When she returned to take Rosalind for her tests, a commotion at the reception desk caught her attention. She paused, curious, and was surprised to see that the person arguing with the nurse was Bianca’s mother, Yvonne.
“What do you mean there are no rooms available?” Yvonne demanded, her voice sharp. “When my daughter was admitted before, there was always a suite ready for her! Do you have any idea who I am?”
The nurse, clearly flustered, replied, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but we’re truly at capacity. Besides, all our suites require an advance reservation.”
Yvonne let out a cold laugh. “You have a serious lack of judgment. I hope you’re prepared to take
responsibility for your words.” She pulled out her phone and dialed Bianca. “Brancam at the hospital, and this nurse is refusing to admit me to a VIP suite. You and Seth need to get down here now.”
Seth and Bianca arrived with astonishing speed. Noreen hadn’t even had time to get Rosalind to the lab for her blood work, no more than ten minutes had passed. It was clear Seth took his future mother-in-law’s concerns very seriously. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on.net
The VIP wing wasn’t just about superior service; its layout was a world apart from the standard
wards, with wide, quiet corridors net
Noreen and a private nurse were escorting Rosalind to the laba path that led them directly past the reception desk.
Bianca and her mother spotted Noreen instantly. Both their expressions turned to ice, their glares lingering on her before they each let out a derisive snort.
As Noreen passed, Yvonne deliberately raised her voice, speaking to Seth. “Oh, Seth, I’m so sorry. I know you’re incredibly busy, and here I am dragging you all the way out here for my little problem.”
“Of course,” Seth replied humbly. “It’s the least I could do.”
