Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
To join the Imperial League, one must obtain recommendations from three members… Alternatively, King could directly add them to the group, too.
No matter which method it was, there wouldn’t be a problem.
Philip: “…”
He couldn’t help but glance at Nora. He heaved a quiet sigh and asked, “Will you come to my birthday party next month?”
Iris: “…”
Philip lowered his head and sighed. “I don’t have children and I have already aged. I’m already in my fifties this year, and my nephews have started to eye my position… I don’t have anyone who truly cares for me by my side anymore…”
However, Iris cut him off. “You have a ton of girls willing to bear you children even at your age, don’t you?”
Philip paused.
Iris said seriously, “Once you age, you’ll find that it really is very lonely if you don’t have children. I already have grandchildren of my own, so I really am very content with my life now. But what about you? At my age, I can’t conceive anymore. You should look for a young woman instead.”
To be honest, this was also part of the reason she had been rejecting Philip’s requests to reconcile all these years.
However, Philip’s expression darkened. “Those women are only interested in my money. Is there any point in a life like that?! I’d rather die old and alone than have a wife and kids like that.”
At the bottom of it all, the man was still the same as before.
Iris looked at him. “Why do you insist on doing that to yourself?”
Philip looked back at her. “Then what about you? You have been living your entire life for your mother, your son, and now your grandchildren. When are you ever going to live for yourself? We are already approaching our sixties. Iris, ask yourself this—do you really not love me at all?”
…
Iris fell silent.
Seeing her reaction, Nora knew at once that Iris still had feelings for Philip.
It was just that everything that had happened in the past had eroded her passion.
She took a couple of steps back, thinking to herself that there was still a possibility of reconciliation between the two.
But when she turned her head, she saw two unfamiliar faces staring at her. Puzzled, Nora raised her brows. However, when she saw the cameras in their hands, she suddenly realized that they were reporters.
After keeping quiet for half a day, the reporters had reached their limit. In their opinion, Mrs. Hunt was likely the most easy-going person in the room. After all, among all the big bosses in there, she was the most down-to-earth.
Thus, they asked, “Mrs. Hunt, these people… Why are they so polite to you?”
Nora: “?”
Nora raised her brows. However, before she could answer, Lisa suddenly walked over. The woman, who was full of smiles, was completely engrossed in her life as a surgeon these days. With her life happy and worry-free, she didn’t notice the two reporters at all.
She said sincerely, “Happy birthday, Nora!”
Nora didn’t pay any more attention to the reporters.
When she noticed the reporters, she immediately understood something.
Obviously, showing off his daughter wasn’t enough for Justin, so he was also showing off his wife now.
The corners of her lips spasmed a little as she nodded at Lisa. Then, she said, “I heard you performed neurosurgery last week. Was the patient…”
She began to ask questions related to the professional know-how of the operation.
Lisa listened to her seriously. Toward the end, enlightenment dawned upon her and she exclaimed, “So, that’s how it is! Nora, if I had discussed this with you beforehand, those post-surgery problems wouldn’t have happened! I shouldn’t have skipped discussing this with you when you’re my mentor.”
However, Nora shook her head and said, “If you discuss every operation with me beforehand, how are you going to learn and gain experience? Besides, your operations are already perfect as they are now!”
There was no lack of patients in the country, so this was a good opportunity for Lisa to practice her skills and improve.
Although this wasn’t very fair to the patients in her care before she fully matured as a surgeon, that was how reality worked. If Nora interfered with everything Lisa did, the young woman would never be able to stand on her own.
Besides, should she really meet with a crisis of life and death, Nora would help for sure anyway.
Lisa was already the top neurosurgeon in the country. She would eventually become a doctor whose skills were on par with Anti’s!
After the discussion, Solo returned and started to pester Nora.
Lisa wisely stepped back.
The reporters took the opportunity to step forward at this point. They looked at Lisa and asked, “Dr. Black, why did you refer to Mrs. Hunt as your mentor? Isn’t your mentor Dr. Anti?”
Lisa: “?”
Upon hearing the question, she looked at the reporters.
Only then did she notice the gadgets they were holding. When she thought of the joke going around the Internet recently, she smiled and replied, “Didn’t you just answer the question yourself?”
The reporters: “?”
As they watched Lisa leave, the pair exchanged a look with each other, both their brains malfunctioning for a split second. Suddenly, a realization hit one of them. “Is Mrs. Hunt Dr. Anti?”
The other reporter replied, “I remember now! Anti had come to the States back then! Let me check the news from ten years ago!”
With that, the reporter started to look up news from ten years ago.
Cameras were already highly advanced then. So, when he saw news reports from that period…
As expected, Mrs. Hunt was indeed Dr. Anti!!
The pair looked somewhere a distance away where Quentin Smith and Lily were standing together. Though Quentin had suffered devastating injuries back then, he had regained the ability to stand now.
As Nora’s assistant, Lily was an excellent surgeon. She was good-looking and knew exactly how to handle Quentin.
When Quentin and Lily noticed the reporters looking at them, they leaned closer to each other and posed with victory signs at them, seemingly hoping that the reporters would snap a picture for them.
After posing for a while, Quentin refused to do it anymore. He said, “Alright, alright, that’s enough! You look so silly doing this!”
Lily retorted, “No matter how silly I look, I’m not going to look sillier than you. Who’s the one who claimed that he was going to protect his cousin but ended up being protected by her in the end?”
Being reminded of how he had been a teen who harbored delusions of grandeur in the past, Quentin turned as red as a tomato. “Ugh, don’t say any more…”
However, Lily stepped forward and pinched his cheek. “How rare, you’re actually blushing. You don’t even blush when we do it at night anymore… It’s a good thing that Boss saved you and helped you regain mobility. Otherwise, how boring would it be if I’m always the one on top?”
… Lily really hasn’t changed at all, Quentin thought to himself.
He coughed and said, “Alright, it’s your boss’ birthday today, so quit the dirty jokes already! Go and give her your well-wishes!”
… Fine!
The reporters standing in the distance were flabbergasted.
However, they quickly understood what was going on. “I see, so that’s how it is! Mrs. Hunt is Dr. Anti, that’s why she is so popular! Think about it, people can fall sick anytime. That’s why it’s imperative that people maintain cordial relationships with her!”
It was just that…
Although these people were also friendly and polite to Lisa, why did they seem to be more respectful toward Mrs. Hunt?
Just as they were utterly perplexed, they heard the conversation between Solo, the world-famous hacker, and Nora.
I’m thinking of hacking into Brenny’s computer to search for clues and see what exactly she’s thinking. Can you disable your firewall?
No, I can’t.
Nora rejected his request coldly.
A grumpy look appeared on Solo’s face at once.
