Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 571

Chapter 571:

Within him, conflicting voices engaged in a fierce debate. “You should feel sorry for Norah. Upon awakening, you

and she were meant to enjoy blissful companionship. Norah's affection for you is profound, and together you

could have started a family filled with joy. Your actions have disappointed her, marking you as ungrateful,” one

voice said.

“Madeline carries your unborn child, embodying your first romance. Your heart should gravitate toward her. The

bond between you is undeniable, albeit tainted by past mistakes. Norah cunningly manipulated circumstances to

secure your hand in marriage. She is inherently deceitful! Your devotion to Madeline must endure eternally!”

another voice retorted.

Derek harbored deep regrets over his past decisions, now understanding that if he let go of his true love, he

might lose her forever. As he watched Madeline rest in the hospital bed, guilt consumed him. Throughout

Madeline's pregnancy, his thoughts had incessantly drifted to Norah. Frustrated, he gripped his hair. This wasn’t

how it was supposed to be.

Kathy sneaked out of the room, carefully closing the door behind her. “Derek, Madeline is resting. Once she’s

awake, you should take her home. | have other matters to handle, so I'm leaving now.” Madeline would need to

recuperate a bit more before they could leave the hospital.

“Alright, take care,” Derek responded, his mind elsewhere.

Kathy looked at him with surprise. Such pleasantries were uncharacteristic for him. Unbeknownst to her, Derek’s

recent reflections on Norah's thoughtful nature had influenced his behavior, making the kind words slip out

Kason had worn himself out with relentless work on the Glamour Club case and now lay in bed, appearing weak

and unwell. Devonte, who had miraculously recovered from a grave condition, visited Kason in his wheelchair.

“I've heard from Kaiden about your dilemma, Kason. You're known for your resolve, so why do you falter before

the woman you admire? It’s disheartening to see such hesitance from you when action is needed. Since when

did our family raise anyone to be so faint-hearted?” Kaiden recoiled, intimidated by the intensity of Kason's

glare, and sought refuge behind Devonte.

Always attentive, Kaiden frequently visited Devonte after his health declined. During one of their conversations,

he accidentally shared details about Norah.

“Norah's divorced. She needs someone to warm her heart and accept her. Yet, you admire her from afar without

any initiative?”

Devonte expressed his dismay. The Hayes family was illustrious, yet here was his grandson Kason, already in his

thirties, without ever having a girlfriend. Devonte even started to wonder if Kason might have different

preferences.

Regardless, Devonte felt it would be acceptable as long as Kason didn’t remain alone.
