Nora

Chapter 179:.

There was actually another reason why Nora had deliberately revealed on Roxanne’s live feed that she was not Henry’s daughter, and that was that the man who had shared an intimate relationship with her mother back then would surely be suspicious, wouldn’t he?

With the existence of a daughter like her, she would surely give herself away at some point. Therefore, she had been very vigilant the past few days.

The pain in her shoulder during the collision just now was clearly used to disguise the pain of pulling out her hair. Unfortunately for them, her senses were very acute.

As everyone knows, the hair itself is useless for DNA testing. Rather, the part that was used in DNA testing was the hair follicle attached to the lock of hair.

The young man at the time had two strands of his hair carefully clenched between his fingers, as if he was afraid of contaminating the hair follicles. Evidently, he intended to use them in a DNA test.

At her question, he seemed to panic and began to struggle.

Nora looked at his face: he was a plain-looking man one would not notice in a crowd.

Even his age was very strange.noveldrama

At first glance, he looked like a 20-year-old college student, but if you looked closely, he could also pass for a thirty-something….

In the midst of Nora’s thoughts, the man suddenly reached out his other arm and jabbed it through her heart with speed and precision.

Nora’s eyes widened slightly. The man showed no mercy in his attack. If she had reacted a little slower, he would have almost stabbed her.

Also, since she had to let go as she dodged the attack, the man took the opportunity to run. Nora stopped for a brief moment before going after him once more.

His speed was very fast, but he was even faster. With dagger in hand, she shouted, “Get out of the way!”.

Some students started screaming while others pulled out their cell phones and called the police.

Soon, a school security officer rushed over. Unfortunately, the man looked very experienced. He pushed his way through the swarm of college students who had just left their classrooms at the end of classes, and eventually disappeared.

“Don’t move, everyone!” The security officer calmed the terrified students and said, “I’ve already called the police. The police patrolling nearby will be here soon.”

Nora stayed where she was with her eyes lowered.

At first she had thought the man had been sent by her biological father for the purpose of having a DNA test done, but why did he seem to be filled with hostility toward her?

It was as if he didn’t care if she was killed.

In that case, he was definitely not her biological father.

But if he wasn’t her biological father, who was he?

Nora suddenly thought about how Yvette had instructed her to keep a low profile because if she didn’t, it would get her into trouble.

Her eyes flickered.

Soon the police patrolling nearby arrived. Since everyone had seen that the dagger assailant had originally intended to kill Nora, the police approached her at once.

However, Nora was surprised to see the officer approaching her.

“Captain Ford?”

Morris Ford nodded his head. Dressed in plain clothes, his large, tall figure made one feel very confident. He had an erect air about him, and his demeanor was solemn and overpowering, causing all around him to unconsciously regard him with deep respect.

His voice was very low and expressionless when he asked, “Do you know who the assailant is, Miss Smith? Why does he want to kill you? Is there any enmity between you two?”

Nora looked down and commented, “Tasks like patrolling don’t seem to suit you very well, Captain Ford.”

The police had arrived as soon as the incident occurred. It was so fast that it made one wonder if he had been around the whole time. Besides, Morris had a special identity. There was no way he would perform tasks like that.

In that case, there were only two possibilities: either Morris was following the assailant from a moment ago, or he was following her.

Moreover, the second possibility was more likely because he had simply appeared too quickly.

Nora narrowed her eyes slightly. If Morris really was following her, that would make it very impressive, after all, she hadn’t noticed anything despite her keen senses.

However, Morris showed no discomfort or embarrassment at being discovered. On the contrary, he said coldly, “From what I understand, you’ve been locked in a room since you were a child, Miss Smith. You don’t look like you should be a doctor either.”

“…”

His words made Nora choke for a moment. However, the next moment she broke into a smile and replied, “Is it against the law for me to be a doctor, Captain Ford?”

“Well, no.” Morris made no effort to hide the fact that he had investigated his background. “After all, you have saved many lives over the years.”

Nora changed the subject to the man from a moment ago. She said, “I don’t know who he is, but maybe Captain Ford does.”

“I have a clue or two.” Morris said, “You will be in danger for the next few days. I advise you to avoid crowded places.”

Nora raised her eyebrows. “Isn’t it a bad idea to let small risks keep us from doing what we need to do, Captain Ford? Besides, I’m scheduled for a major operation tomorrow.”

Morris was silent for a while before nodding slightly toward her and saying, “I’ll do everything I can to ensure your safety, Miss Smith.”

“Feel free to do whatever you have to do.”

The man’s identity was not an ordinary one; even if she refused his protection, it probably wouldn’t work anyway, would it?

Nora got up and headed for her car. Before getting into the car, she looked at him and asked, “Would you like to check the car, Captain Ford? Just in case it’s been tampered with.”

Morris was quiet for a moment. Then he really stepped forward and inspected the car front, rear, left and right. After that, he said, “It doesn’t look like that man was really after your life, Mrs. Smith. What exactly did he do to you a moment ago?”

Nora looked down at the thought of the man pulling her hair. However, she intuitively chose to hide the truth. She held up her hands with a shrug and replied, “I don’t know either.”

She didn’t know if Morris believed her or not, but she turned and walked away.

After that, Nora left NYU School of Medicine in her car.

When she got back to the Andersons’ house, she glanced out back as she parked the car. There seemed to be quite a few groups of people following her on the way back.

Quentin Smith felt as if he had just encountered the equivalent of the Battle of Waterloo in his career.

He, the great Quentin, a Smith and even the nephew of Ian Smith himself, had always been very reliable when it came to handling shady business and dealings. However, this time he had met his doom at the hands of a girl!

Why was it so difficult to obtain her DNA sample?

He hadn’t rested for 48 hours since receiving his assignment, causing him to even have dark circles under his eyes. After much difficulty, he had finally waited for her to leave his house.

He followed Nora to the NYU School of Medicine and even put on a student outfit, planning to meet her later and pick up some samples along the way.

But, unexpectedly, a guy had swooped in out of nowhere!

Quentin looked at the fleeing man angrily. When he got angry, the consequences were serious.

He stopped following Nora, put on the hood of his black hoodie and went after the man.

Because Nora was afraid of accidentally bumping into the students, she had not gone after the man. However, Quentin was just in the direction in which the man had escaped, so he easily followed him.

The man was obviously a professional, turning several corners along the way.

Quentin scoffed. When it came to things like tailing someone, he was definitely number one in New York.

How dare she pull such tricks in front of him, he was totally underestimating her abilities!

Quentin, who never once took his eyes off the man, followed him out of the school. Finally, when they reached a quiet corner, the man let out a sigh of relief and carefully placed the two strands of hair he had just plucked from Nora’s scalp into a plastic bag.

The next moment, Quentin rushed at him like a hurricane and snatched the hair samples from him.

He had finally accomplished his mission.

Now they could do the DNA comparison.
