Fated to Love You Again novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 The Passionate Kiss 

"Shawn, how can you be so overbearing?" Norah couldn't hold back any longer and started pounding his chest. 

"Ouch... Ah, it hurts." 

"Norah, you hit my wound," Shawn groaned in pain. 

Norah immediately sobered up, realizing that he still had injuries, and the wound was torn quite badly. She quickly withdrew her hand and asked with some concern, "Is it hurting a lot? Did it tear open again? I'll call a doctor right away." 

Hearing her words, Shawn smiled, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He reached out, gripping Norah's hand, and said, "Norah, I knew you were just pretending not to care. As soon as you heard that you hit my wound, look, you're more worried than anyone." 

"Silly, you obviously care about me. Why won't you admit it?" He looked at her with deep affection, hoping for a response. 

However, Norah lowered her eyelids for a moment and quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's all your fault, being too forceful and not showing any restraint. You've made my lips swollen and all red now. How am I supposed to go to work?" 

Shawn smiled as he grabbed her hand and, at the same time, reached out to gently caress her lips with warm fingertips, showing an almost unbearable tenderness. 

"Norah, I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that when it comes to you, I can't control myself." 

"I've never been one to indulge in pleasures, but when it comes to you, I willingly surrender time and time again in your presence." 

Norah turned her head slightly, trying to suppress the warmth that welled up in her eyes. She didn't want to show her emotions or shed tears in front of him. 

"Let me go. I have to go back to work." 

"Then kiss me, and I'll let you go." 

Norah got angry, staring at him. "Shawn, don't push your luck." 

In the next moment, she felt something soft on her forehead. Quickly, Shawn released her. 

"Since you don't want to, I'll give you a kiss instead." And then he let go of her. 

Norah exited the stairwell. She glanced around to ensure there were no onlookers. She discreetly touched her lips, then headed back to her office. 

Once in her office, Norah immediately went to the restroom. 

When she saw her reflection in the mirror, her lips were red and slightly swollen. She had already cursed at Shawn several times in her mind. Now, how was she supposed to go to work like this? She felt increasingly embarrassed at the thought of her colleagues seeing her like this. 

Fortunately, being in a hospital had its perks, and there were remedies readily available. After washing her lips with warm water, Norah quickly reduced the swelling. Once the redness had subsided a bit, she applied some orange-red lipstick to cover it up. 

If you didn't look too closely, you might not notice. 

Feeling relieved, she left the restroom, returned to her office, put on her white coat, and prepared to get back to work. 

After a busy stretch, Norah and her colleague, Dora Green, headed to the break room. 

They had been hunched over a special patient for nearly two hours, with only a short break to change positions. 

Both of them were suffering from sore backs and decided to help each other by massaging their aching muscles. 

Norah grabbed a glass of water, but before she could take a sip, Dora's gaze was fixated on her lips, scrutinizing them closely. 

Norah's heart skipped a beat, thinking Dora might have noticed something. She began to feel a bit anxious.
