Chapter 546:
Shayla’s health had markedly improved. Norah checked on her when possible, and this time, her visit coincided
with seeing Dooley.
“Dr. Wilson.”
Dooley looked polished, dressed impeccably as though he had just cfrom a business event. He stopped
Norah as she was about to head back to her office. “I heard about Shayla from Luna. Thank you for saving her.
Without your help, | might have faced the agony of losing her. I'm deeply grateful.”

“Mr. Boyd, it's my job as a doctor to save lives.”
If he genuinely cared for Shayla, he wouldn't have delayed five days before hurrying over.
After his daughter got hurt, a truly concerned parent would have rushed over the moment they heard the news.
Dooley’s workplace was no more than a day’s journey from Glophia, even by bus. His delayed response indicated
a lack of genuine concern. He didn’t love Luna; hence, he didn’t truly care for her daughter, Shayla. It was all too
clear.
“I have other commitments, | gotta go,” Norah spoke politely yet distantly, moving past Dooley’s attempt to
engage further. There was nothing more to say between them.
Seeing Norah's graceful form, Dooley’s eyes sparked with curiosity. Were Luna and Norah truly sisters? They
were so different. Norah seemed especially intriguing to him. Her looks, body, and wealth all had him hooked.
Following the recent events, he realized that Norah must still have saffection for Luna’s family, and their
apparent estrangement at the birthday banquet wasn’t genuine. Rumors had linked Norah with Sean, a man
Dooley felt he couldn't compete with. But could anyone be sure Sean would always remain interested in her?

As a man, Dooley knew men’s faults too well, like their tendency to be fickle and seek new things. When Luna
was pregnant, he began to cheat on her. He even spent the night with another woman at a hotel while Luna was

To this day, Luna was still pleading with him not to end their marriage. As long as she remained useful to him, he
had no intention of divorcing her right away.
On her way back to her office, Norah couldn't help but think about Shayla and feel sorry for her. Growing up in
such a family environment, Shayla was likely to suffer psychologically and emotionally.
But there was nothing more Norah could do about the situation. She had already extended a helping hand when
it was needed. Moreover, she had her own problems and worries to attend to. Not everyone would be willing or
capable of offering help, so people had to learn to stand on their own feet and be resilient in the face of
adversities. In the end, they only had themselves to rely on.
Norah had learned this the hard way, thanks to her tumultuous childhood, but it had served her well to this day.
