The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 602

Otherwise, her deceptive act wouldn't have worked at all.

She made a few rustling noises, slapping her cheeks lightly as if washing up, while her ears were perked up, listening intently to the movements outside.

The intruder surely knew Nathan would be back shortly.

So, compared to her, the person outside was definitely more anxious.

Sure enough, as a minute ticked by and Nora still hadn't come out, the person outside grew restless.

The door handle was turned ever so slightly.

Because Nora had already unlocked it, the click was loud and clear.

Nora's entire body tensed.

She held her breath, waiting in silence for the intruder to peek in.

But the person was far more cautious than she had expected.

They showed no intention of stepping inside, and the two of them were locked in a stalemate.

Nora wasn't in a rush; she just waited quietly.

The intruder wasn't stupid either. Her sudden silence was a clear red flag.

So the person stopped trying to enter, and the two engaged in a silent standoff through the slightly ajar door.

Luck was on Nora's side.

Three minutes into the stalemate, footsteps echoed outside the ward.

Nora sharply caught the sound of the intruder's breathing growing heavier, clearly terrified that someone had returned.

Making a ruthless split-second decision, Nora took advantage of their panic and violently shoved the door open.

Bang.

The bathroom door smashed heavily into the intruder's face.

The person clearly hadn't expected Nora to attack right then. They gasped in pain, turned, and bolted.

Nora charged out, only catching a glimpse of someone in a white coat running toward the exit. Judging by the build, it was a man.
