“Mom, who are you waiting for?”
“No one.”
Flora smiled embarrassedly.
But Cora could still tell that she was waiting for Byron.
That was about right. In Flora’s eyes, she and Byron had already met their parents, and the marriage was a certainty. Now that Flora was going to have an operation, there was no reason for Byron not to be there.
But Cora and Byron were just acting on occasion, each taking what they needed…
And after that day, Byron stopped contacting her again. The relationship was not broken, but it was almost the same.
How could he appear at this time?
But in the next second, Cora felt proved wrong.
Byron, who hadn’t contacted her for a few days, suddenly sent her a message.
[What time is Mrs. Flora Lane’s surgery? I’ll go over there to accompany you.]
Thinking of his indifference in the past few days, Cora immediately replied aggressively: [I don’t want to bother Mr. Hansen.]
[Can you do it alone?] Byron asked again.
[I can do it. And Tyler will come too.] Cora was not sure if she had any intention of showing off when she mentioned Tyler.
But after the message was sent out, Byron stopped replying…
Nearly twenty minutes later, Byron sent a late reply: [He has no time to go.]
Cora frowned: [Impossible. Tyler sent me a message in the morning saying that he had already turned off everything he was currently doing. He will come over later and accompany me to send my mother to the operating room.]
But Cora didn’t get Byron’s reply, but received Tyler’s latest message.
[Cora, I’m sorry, I have a sudden emergency here. I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you today.]
Cora was speechless.
But after all, she and Tyler were neither relatives nor old friends. It was a matter of affection for him to come and accompany her, but it was not a duty.
[It’s okay, Tyler. You go about your business. I can handle it alone.]
But when she put away her phone, she still felt a little disappointed.
“Byron!”
Flora’s overjoyed voice brought Cora’s mind back immediately.
Following Flora’s gaze, she saw Byron standing at the ward’s door.
He probably came directly from the company. He was dressed in a suit, and his gestures made people feel unattainable.
But fortunately, this unattainable feeling was neutralized a lot by the big fruit basket in his hand and the smile on his face.
“I’m already very happy that you can come to see me. You don’t need to bring these things.”
Flora received Byron very warmly.
“I came in a hurry last time. Of course I have to prepare this time. This is a matter of etiquette.”
Byron followed Flora into the ward.
Cora felt he was quite capable of putting on an act in front of elders, so she couldn’t help but glance at him.
Unexpectedly, Byron was looking at her, and the eyes of the two met in the air.
Cora didn’t know if it was because they hadn’t seen each other for a few days and hadn’t slept together.
She felt Byron’s gaze was very scorching and quickly looked away.
But she didn’t expect his skin to be so thick that he asked her directly in front of Flora,
“Are you ignoring me again?”
Flora was also young once, so naturally, she realized that the two of them were a bit awkward and scolded Cora on the spot.
“Cora, don’t ignore people like that. How impolite?
“It’s not easy for you two to be together. There are so many people in the world, and it took all the luck and destiny for the two of you to meet, so don’t always play childish. It makes people look at you funnily and may create opportunities for others.”
It was Byron who comforted Flora in turn.
“Mrs. Flora Lane, it’s okay. In fact, I’m too busy to take care of Cora these two days. If she doesn’t make a fuss, I’m worried she doesn’t care about me.”
Cora looked at the way Byron made Flora smile again with a few words and wondered why she hadn’t discovered that this man had the potential to be a movie star before.
He just used a few words and molded himself into a little pity!
But Flora would be entering the operating room soon, and the nurse came in to urge her to prepare, so this topic was temporarily taken away.
Before being pushed into the operating room, Flora grabbed Byron’s hand and said,
“I’m going into the operating room soon, and I’m actually feeling very insecure. But I’m much more relieved with you by
Cora’s side.”
“Mrs. Flora Lane, I will accompany her. Cheer up.”
Byron said.
“Mom, you will be fine, don’t worry.”
So far, Cora’s mood has been quite normal.
But as soon as the operating room door was closed, Cora’s eyes turned red on the spot.
Seeing this, Byron put his arms around her shoulders and let her lean on his shoulders.
“It will be fine.”
“Well,”
Cora didn’t push him away, but wept silently in his arms.
The operation lasted more than three hours, and when the operating room door was opened again,
Cora quickly broke free from Byron’s arms and rushed in front of Matt.
“Matt, how is my mother?”
“The operation went well, but she still needed to be observed in the intensive care unit for a few hours.
After confirming there is no problem, she can return to the original ward.”
Matt’s words made Cora heave a sigh of relief.
When Flora was pushed out, Cora hurriedly followed.
Byron also followed, nodding at Matt as he passed.
Matt nodded to say hello, but when Byron followed Cora and the others away, he frowned at the man’s back.
“This person…
I seem to have seen him somewhere before.”
Five hours later, Flora was sent from the intensive care unit to the general ward, and all she had to do was to recover slowly.
But Cora still didn’t dare to take it lightly. She decided to stay in the hospital that night to care for Flora herself.
Byron didn’t persuade her, because he knew she wouldn’t listen to anything at this time.
After Carter called a few times to urge him to go back to the company for a meeting, he ordered two meals for Cora.
“I still have something to do in the company, so I have to go back first.”
“Well, I know.”
Cora was actually grateful to Byron.
After all, he was just her booty call, and he could have ignored her.
But he not only accompanied her during her mother’s operation, but also carefully prepared meals for her.
So before Byron left the ward, she said,
“After these two days, come to my place.”
She had nothing in return, only her body.
Her words made Byron’s long legs stagnate when he was about to step out of the ward.
When he turned his head, his side face was still so handsome that it made one’s heart palpitate.
But for some reason, Cora felt an extra layer of hostility on his face, and those eyes that were almost as sharp as a falcon seemed to turn into knives, poking Cora’s spine one after another.
Cora wondered, and did she just say something that shouldn’t be said?
But he was always keen on spending the night with her, and she just wanted to thank him with something he liked.
Just when the thoughts in her mind were a little confused, Byron’s voice came again.
“Don’t think too much. Call me if you need anything.”
Then, he left.
Over one o’clock in the morning, Flora woke up.
Knowing that the operation went well, she was also in a good mood.
After drinking some oatmeal, it was rare for Flora to chat with Cora about her relationship with Byron.
“Byron seems to be a good marriage partner. I think you can settle it quickly.”
“Mom, don’t worry about me and him. You just need to take good care of your body and recover as soon as possible.”
It was impossible for her and Byron to get married, so she also hoped that Flora would forget about it, lest the two of them were separated in the future, and she would suffer a blow.
“If I don’t worry about you, who should I worry about? It’s also good to settle down quickly. While I’m in good health, I can take care of your children.
