Initially, he felt a bit distressed to watch her wait with an empty stomach and wanted to invite her for dinner.

However, her questions and accusations made him feel that all his efforts were meaningless.

“Where is he? Why don’t you ask him yourself?”

Byron felt that staying here would only make him a laughingstock, so he turned to walk out of the restaurant.

“Wait, what did you do to Lucas? Tell me!”

Cora hurriedly followed him, trying to pry an answer out of him.

But Byron’s pace was swift, and he didn’t even spare a glance at the woman chasing after him. He got into the car parked by the roadside and quickly drove away.

Initially, Cora tried chasing after his car, banging on the window.

“Byron, stop the car! Tell me where he is!”

“Byron Hansen!”

Hearing her call his full name in desperation for another man, Byron was down in the dumps. He pressed the accelerator to the floor, and the car quickly disappeared into the distance.

As a result, Cora, caught off guard by the sudden acceleration, fell to the ground.

Her knees and palms were scraped, which hurt badly.

But Cora paid no attention to her injuries and quickly dialed Lucas’ number.

After a few attempts, Lucas finally answered the phone.

“Cora, what’s wrong? I’m still at the office working overtime. There was an issue with the code today.

By the way, have you finished work?”

Lucas’ voice sounded hoarse, revealing his exhaustion.

Cora paused for a moment, inexplicably recalling what Byron had said earlier about Lucas being with another woman.

But she quickly dismissed those thoughts.

“Lucas, did you forget that we had an appointment for dinner today?”

“Ah! I actually forgot. I’m sorry, Cora. Are you still at the restaurant?”

Lucas seemed a bit anxious.

Looking at the nearby restaurant, Cora replied hurriedly,

“No, I waited for a while, but you didn’t show up, so I came back.”

“I’m sorry, Cora. I got too caught up with work and accidentally put my phone on silent.”

“It’s alright. Just go home and rest early after work.”

Cora’s smile faded as soon as she ended the call. Amidst the bustling streets, she felt lost, unsure of where to go.

After that day, Cora also doubted whether Byron’s words about Lucas being with another woman were true, and she considered whether she should apologize to Byron for her outburst.

However, in the end, Cora did nothing.

After all, she had already made up her mind to have no further contact with Byron, so whether she apologized or not didn’t matter.

As for the matter of another woman around Lucas, Cora still wanted to find out more before making any conclusions. But to her surprise, someone took the initiative to hand her an invitation card.

“Dr. Lane, thank you for treating my wound. As a return, I’d like to give you this.”

The woman offering the invitation card was named Chloe Hurst.

She was brought to the hospital earlier this day after trying to commit suicide by slitting her wrist and received treatment from Cora.

Her wound was not severe, so her complexion had already returned to normal, and she seemed to be in good spirits.

“Ms. Hurst, there’s no need to thank me. It’s my duty.”

Cora declined politely.

In fact, just as Chloe did, many patients’ families had secretly tried to give her money as a token of gratitude and to seek her help during their time at the hospital.

But Cora always refused, as saving lives and helping others were her responsibility.

However, Chloe was persistent and directly grabbed her hand, placing the invitation card in her palm.

“Please take it. It’s not something expensive, just the invitation for an event hosted by Calligraphy

Association.”

Cora unconsciously sized up Chloe. She had the same elegant aura as her name suggested.

And her hairstyle made her look particularly fashionable and stunning.

Given all these and her cheerful smile, it was hard to imagine that she had resorted to wrist-slitting.

Despite a good impression, Cora couldn’t accept something with an unclear origin.

“I’m not interested in attending such events. Please enjoy it yourself, Ms. Hurst.”

Just as Cora returned the invitation card to Chloe and was ready to leave, Chloe suddenly said,

“Don’t you want to know what Lucas has been up to lately?”

Cora turned back to face her, slightly frowning.

Chloe couldn’t mention Lucas for no reason. Was she seeking treatment at the hospital with ulterior motives?

“Did you slit your wrist just to hand me an invitation card?”

Cora didn’t want to dwell on it, finding the woman’s behavior quite insane.

“Dr. Lane, you are indeed clever,”

Chloe admitted openly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be challenging Cora.

“So, will you come?”

“I will, considering you went to such lengths to invite me,”

Cora said.

Given such a mad woman, Cora was afraid she might resort to even crazier actions if she didn’t attend.

“Good. Then I’ll go back first, looking forward to meeting you again, Dr. Lane.”

With that, Chloe left quickly, leaving Cora staring at the invitation card in her hand…

Before the Calligraphy Association event, Cora and Lucas dated and met as usual.

For some reason, Cora didn’t tell Lucas about the existence of Chloe.

Cora wasn’t sure, but she felt Lucas had been avoiding her eyes recently, despite the fact that he still texted her a lot every day, drove across half of the city to give her an umbrella on a rainy day, and was still the perfect boyfriend in the eyes of Cora’s colleagues.

Then, they decided to see a movie together one day.

It was a well-rated romantic drama. Many couples were very moved after watching, and some even proposed afterward.

It was recommended by Sally because Cora complained to Sally about the uncertainty of her relationship with Lucas. Sally said,

“Ask Lucas to watch this movie with you and then take him to your apartment. I’m sure he will be obsessed with you in the future!”

Cora was embarrassed when she heard it. But on second thought, she probably wouldn’t refuse if

Lucas really wanted to do something with her after watching the movie.

After all, they had already been dating for two or three months, and they had made promises about the future to each other.

With this in mind, Cora attached great importance to tonight’s date and even put on the fishtail dress that showed her figure.

When Lucas saw her, he couldn’t move his eyes.

“Cora, you look amazing tonight.”

“And so are you.”

Cora’s compliment made Lucas a little embarrassed.

But then Lucas wrapped his arm around her shoulders all the time, declaring that Cora was his girlfriend, which also proved that he really liked her outfit today and was aroused.

But Lucas’s cell phone rang in the middle of the movie.

It was a message. He checked it but didn’t reply.

But the sender seemed to be determined to get a response and kept sending messages and making phone calls. The noise made it impossible for them to watch the movie.

In the end, Cora couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Why don’t you return the phone call?”

“Sorry. I’ll take this outside and come back soon.”

Not long after Lucas left, Cora received his message: [Sorry, Cora. There are several bugs in the company’s main program, and I have to go back now.]

When Cora saw this message, her heart sank.

Because she knew it was not a bug in the main program that Lucas had to deal with, but a woman.

Cora didn’t have the bad habit of peeping, but when Lucas took out his phone just now, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the sender’s avatar in the dialogue interface on his WhatsApp. It was

Chloe.

But Cora still wanted to give each other a chance and be honest, so She replied to Lucas,

“Lucas, you can tell me if there is any problem. We can deal with it together.”

If Lucas could take the chance and explain everything to her, they could still have a future together.

But Lucas replied,

“Cora, it’s nothing much. I’ll call you after I fix the bug.”

At that moment, Cora’s heart ached, as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand.

After that, no matter how moving the movie was, she couldn’t focus anymore. So she decided to leave the theater.
