Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
But she saw that Byron was still calm, and even the tear mole at the end of his eye was still as enchanting as ever.
“I rarely regret anything I do. I’m an adult. I should be responsible for my choices.”
Byron only regretted one thing in his life, and that was when he broke up with Cora and let her date
Lucas for some time.
When he thought of the anxious feeling of seeing her and Lucas loving each other in the Rainforest
Resort at that time, it seemed that his feelings now were not worth mentioning.
But Cora didn’t seem to believe him.
“Do you really not regret it?”
Byron was annoyed, so he picked up some food and put it on her plate.
“Eat it.”
Just then, Jane and the others walked out of the private room after lunch…
“Byron, you’re eating with Dr. Lane!”
Mark was reminded by Ben, and his gaze fell on the table of Byron and Cora.
William and Jane also looked at the two.
William looked at Byron and then at Cora. He frowned and didn’t walk over to say hello.
Jane politely nodded at Byron and Cora, but she didn’t walk over to say hello either.
Byron greeted Mark indifferently as usual,
“Have you eaten yet?”
“Yes. Mr. William Yoris and Jane invited me and Ben to have dinner and communicate with us about
Dad’s surgery.”
Cora didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to have sensed a hint of playfulness and provocation in Mark’s words.
But Byron’s voice was the same as usual.
“Since you’ve eaten, I won’t keep you guys.”
Mark smiled,
“We will go back to the company. Enjoy your dinner with Dr. Lane. If something happens to Dad, call us.”
Byron nodded, and they left.
Jane and William didn’t take the initiative to say anything to Byron.
Cora knew that part of it was because of her, but more of it was because Byron had lost the management rights of the Hansen Group. In the eyes of the Yoris family, he was not as useful as before.
Otherwise, given their personalities, even if they knew that Cora and Byron were together, they would continue to be on friendly terms with Byron as usual, as if nothing had been discovered.
“Do you like shredded chicken?”
After they left, Cora suddenly proposed.
“As you like.”
With this reply, Cora ordered shredded chicken.
The shredded chicken was served quickly. Cora readily put some on Byron’s plate.
The two had known each other for so long, but this was the first time Cora had put something on his plate.
Therefore, Byron raised his eyebrows and looked at Cora.
Cora didn’t take it seriously.
“What are you looking at? Treat shredded chicken as your ex-girlfriend.
Chew it a few times to vent your anger.”
“She’s not my ex-girlfriend.”
Cora ignored Byron.
“Don’t you hate them?”
“Why should I?”
In Byron’s eyes, whether the Yoris family treated him well wouldn’t affect his mood. After all, they were not related.
Byron suddenly looked at Cora.
“If I can’t get those things back, will you treat me like they did?”
Cora didn’t expect that Byron would suddenly ask such a strange question. She looked up and saw him looking at her.
In his sharp eyes, there was a hint of anxiety and seriousness that had never been seen before.
Cora thought Byron cared about what others thought of him. He was afraid that when he had nothing left, all the people around him would leave him.
When that happened, would Cora ignore him as Jane and William did?
Cora hesitated for a moment and replied,
“No.”
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“Why?”
“There’s no reason. I won’t ignore you.”
Cora felt that her feelings for Byron might be deeper than she could imagine.
For a long time after this, they didn’t chat anymore. They just ate quietly.
But when they were about to leave the cafeteria, Cora suddenly said,
“Byron.”
“Yes?”
“No matter what happens, I will be by your side. We can start all over again.”
Cora smiled at Byron, like the dazzling sun outside the window. Byron was deeply touched…
In the blink of an eye, Osborn’s surgical plan was finalized. Several people from the First Hospital were assigned to assist Cora, including William who unexpectedly made the list. However, Cora declined their offer.
She didn’t want this surgery to become a mere spectacle, even though the hospital leadership tried to persuade her repeatedly. After all, the difficulty of this operation was not to be underestimated, and she feared that having too many people around would affect her state of mind.
Therefore, there were only two assistants for this surgery, Jane and Oliver Mandy, both of whom were cardiac surgeons from the First Hospital.
Despite the surgical team being determined, Cora still felt a sense of unease. So, she secretly planned something else.
On the other side, since Osborn’s surgery was scheduled for this morning, most of the Hansen family members were present.
During the time leading up to Osborn’s surgery, they made efforts to lighten the mood, hoping to alleviate his nervousness.
However, Osborn was surprisingly optimistic.
“Didn’t they find a talented young girl to operate on me?
You don’t need to worry. I’ll recover quickly,”
he reassured them.
Osborn added,
“I haven’t seen Byron get married yet. Even if the Death comes for me, I’ll never leave with him.”
Soon, the nurses came to notify Osborn that it was time to start the operation.
After about ten minutes, Osborn was sent into the operating room.
Cora and the rest of the surgical team, including the assistants and anesthesiologist, prepared to enter the operating room in turn.
As Cora passed by Byron, she glanced back at him.
None of them said a word, but they both felt encouraged by the look in each other’s eyes.
On the other hand, Jane didn’t even bother to greet Byron or any of his family members. She simply bypassed them and went straight into the operating room.
Inside the operating room, as soon as the surgical light turned on, Osborn was completely anesthetized and fell into a deep sleep.
The surgery could have started directly, but Cora still personally inspected the surgical instruments.
“Are you worried that we might tamper with this surgery?”
Jane couldn’t help but mock when she saw
Cora checking the instruments.
“You’re no stranger to such tricks,”
Cora retorted without even lifting her head.
Jane felt quite humiliated, especially considering that the other assistant was her colleague in the cardiac surgery department. Cora’s words seemed to completely undermine Jane’s previous attempts to establish her gentle and generous image.
“Don’t say nonsense,”
Jane retorted.
“This surgery is of great importance, and if it fails, it won’t benefit our hospital in any way!”
“How do I know you won’t end up blaming me for the failure of this surgery?”
Jane panicked slightly upon hearing Cora’s words.
As Cora mentioned, Jane had indeed entertained such thoughts and was still eager to give them a try.
Apart from seeking revenge on Byron and preventing Osborn from ever helping him again, she wanted nothing more than to see Cora suffer a humiliating defeat and lose all her reputation.
