Fake Heiress Reborn Drops Masks Finds Family (Noelle and Sebastian) novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 What’s Holding You Back?

Noelle wasn’t just the boss of Alliance 749. She also had extraordinary medical skills.

How could someone like that even be real?

A heavy sense of defeat washed over Rachel. It felt like the blood in her body had frozen solid.

“Looks like you’re in poor health, Dr. Bourn,” Noelle said calmly, lifting her eyes. “From headquarters to the outskirts usually takes twenty minutes. You spent forty minutes.”

Rachel’s face was drained of color. “I didn’t feel well on the way, so I was delayed.”

Sebastian said coldly, cutting in, “If you can’t even manage a short drive, then go to the northern desert and rest. Leave now. Don’t delay it.”

Rachel wanted to speak, then realized she had no excuse left.

She glanced around. Elders who once praised her and coworkers who once respected her now looked distant and unmoved.

And the man she had loved for years was standing beside another woman, caring for her with quiet tenderness.

“I…” Rachel forced out the word, her throat dry.

She couldn’t say anything more. Turning around, she walked out.

As she left, she heard a medical officer who used to follow her closely ask Noelle with excitement. “Mrs. Menzie, should we add astragalus root to the prescription?”

“No,” Noelle replied coolly. “He’s too weak for that right now.”

In that instant, Rachel finally got it. From today on, IBI didn’t need her anymore.

A whole group of medical officers surrounded Noelle, firing off questions. She answered them patiently. When she finally looked tired, Sebastian scooped her up and carried her back to their room.

He carried her down the corridor, past the training ground, and through all of IBI under everyone’s eyes.

Everyone saw it, and they were already used to it.

At first, they thought Sebastian looked pathetic carrying a woman around. Now? They thought he was lucky to be the one carrying

Noelle.

Still, the public affection was so intense that half the young men, who were fit, full of hormones, and with little experience with women, ended up waking at night from suggestive dreams.

Noelle slept straight through until evening.

She woke up feeling loose and lazy, then wandered downstairs to stretch.

“Greetings, Mrs. Menzie.”

Elliot and Eden were already waiting at the stairs, bowing politely.

“All healed?” Noelle asked, glancing at Elliot.

He nodded respectfully. “I’m fine now, so I came back to you.”

Noelle nodded slightly and was about to speak when Sebastian stepped out of his study.

The sharp lines of his face softened when he saw her. “You’re up? I kept some congee warm. Eat first.”

He walked over naturally and wrapped an arm around her waist.

Elliot and Eden exchanged a glance, then both dropped their eyes and quietly backed off to stand guard farther away.

“I don’t want congee.” Noelle leaned against him, sounding lazy. “I want the noodles you make.”

Sebastian chuckled. “All right. I’ll cook.”

“Mr. Menzie is completely wrapped around her finger,” Eden whispered with a grin.

Elliot looked at Noelle, his gaze full of admiration. “She’s earned it.”

After eating the noodles, Noelle took Elliot and Eden with her.

She planned to check on Raymond’s injuries.

“Good day, Mrs. Menzie!”

On the training ground, dozens of members were running drills. The instant they spotted Noelle, they greeted her together.

She nodded briefly and walked down the corridor with Elliot and Eden behind her.

Everyone watched as she passed.

When they noticed Elliot and Eden following her, their eyes filled with envy.

Before, they’d felt bad for those two for being assigned to Noelle. Now? They were straight–up jealous. Why couldn’t they be the ones beside her?

“Elliot and Eden totally lucked out! They get to stay with Mrs. Menzie. I’m not jealous! Not at all!”
