As he left, many things came to his mind.
In the end, he called Carter,
“Ask the people around Cora to go back.”
A day later, Flora was transferred back to her former ward from the intensive care unit.
During his rounds, Matt said to Cora,
“Your mother seems to be recovering well now. She should be able to be discharged after a few more days of caring. Don’t be too worried. You seem very exhausted recently.”
Cora had visibly lost weight since the suicide incident with her mother, and Matt felt quite sorry for her.
“Thank you, Matt. After my mother is discharged, I’ll treat you and Tyler to dinner,”
she replied.
Cora was relieved to hear that Flora was doing better and would soon be discharged. A faint smile finally appeared on her face.
Now, that was all she could hope for.
Meanwhile, at the Yoris Mansion…
“Jane, you should be free tonight, right?”
Sara entered the room as Jane finished removing her makeup and began her skincare routine. It was rare for her to get off work in advance.
Without responding, Jane turned to Sara and asked,
“Is there something you need?”
In fact, she was very repulsed to go out with Sara recently. After all, everyone in New York knew that
Sara and two young men had been arrested. And when that happened, Sara was only wearing a bath towel.
Although Jane knew that Sara had been framed, she still felt very humiliated.
So recently, she basically avoided all kinds of invitations from Sara.
“Madam Hansen is arranging a card game tonight. I’d like to take you with me.”
Sensing her recent distance, Sara decided to be upfront.
“I heard that Byron and that little slut finally broke up.”
Jane remained focused on her skincare routine, carelessly replying,
“Is that so?”
Deep down, she knew all too well the reasons behind their breakup, but she chose not to dwell on it.
“But now Byron is dating different women every day. Madam Hansen is quite concerned about the situation.”
But Jane ignored Sara. She thought that even Cora had lost her chance, so she wouldn’t need to be worried about any other woman anymore.
Sensing Jane’s ignorance, Sara continued,
“I understand that you’re upset and that the behavior of that little wench was infuriating. But didn’t she get kicked out in just a few days? It goes to show that in these prominent families, compatibility and social standing are crucial for a lasting marriage.
“Remember, after going through such troubles, I believe that you and Byron will grow wiser and have a better life together.”
Sara continued,
“You can just snub Byron a bit. Don’t go too far because a man values his dignity pretty much. If you annoyed him, it might get nasty.”
Jane understood Sara’s intentions. If she wanted Byron, she needed to secure him as her future partner.
So, Jane responded,
“I understand. I’ll join you later.”
“Great! Get ready, and I’ll freshen up as well,”
Sara exclaimed, her excitement evident as she headed to her wardrobe to select an outfit for the evening.
At the Hansen Mansion.
“Byron, didn’t you just return? Why are you leaving again?”
Nora watched as Byron came downstairs and strode toward the door. She hurried over to intercept him before he could leave, fearing that he might become the hottest trend of gossip tomorrow.
“I have an appointment with Carter.”
Byron looked indifferent.
“What could you two grown men possibly do together? Are you going to find those disreputable women again?”
Nora thought that if she spoke so bluntly, her son would somewhat restrain himself.
However, Byron hummed, not even trying to conceal his intentions.
Nora was very helpless.
“If you’re going to pursue those questionable relationships, why did you break up in the first place? What’s wrong with Cora compared to those women?”
Recently, every time Byron appeared in the headlines, it was never for anything good. Either he was seen dining with young actresses or spending hours alone with models in private rooms. There were even photos of him leaving hotels.
If this situation continued, Nora felt she couldn’t bear it any longer. It only made her appreciate Cora even more.
Not only was she skilled at playing the piano and shooting, but she also had impressive medical knowledge. Most importantly, she could keep Byron from fooling around everywhere.
The more Nora thought about it, the more she wanted them to get back together.
However, her words made Byron upset.
“I also want to know why we broke up.”
“What do you mean?”
Nora somehow detected a hint of sorrow on Byron’s face.
“It means she was the one who wanted to break up.”
Byron lit a cigarette. He rarely smoked in front of Nora because she would always nag him about it.
But now, he was in such a bad mood that he couldn’t resist the temptation.
“What? She dumped you? Why? What part of you isn’t worthy of her? Or…
was it because of me?”
Nora couldn’t believe that Cora was the one who wanted to break up with Byron.
However, after considering all the possibilities, she thought maybe it was because she failed to protect
Cora during the piano competition, which resulted in her getting slapped. And because of this, Cora probably held grudges against Nora.
Those words that Cora had said before leaving that day seemed to mean the same thing.
From that day on, no matter whether she sent messages or called Cora, she never responded.
Nora thought that if it was indeed her fault, she would definitely blame herself.
But instead, Byron simply took a deep drag on his cigarette and said,
“No, she said she likes someone else.”
The scene of Tyler feeding Cora suddenly flashed through his mind.
Well, it was really annoying.
He took another deep drag from his cigarette, and it quickly burnt out.
“Someone else? Who? In this city, who else can have a better status, background, and family than you?”
No wonder Nora would ask this question. The ones she used to look down upon now looked down on her son, which was hard to accept.
Nora was very annoyed. In her opinion, there was no one in New York who could be as outstanding as
Byron. She didn’t understand how Cora could actually be so foolish and fall for someone else, disregarding the emotions of Byron.
But clearly, Cora’s name was now a forbidden word for Byron, and he didn’t want to mention her at all.
He wanted to leave immediately, pretending to be late for his appointment with Carter. However, Sara and the other Nora’s lady friends happened to arrive.
“Byron, go and ask the kitchen to prepare a pot of coffee and some pastries for me.”
Nora intentionally kept Byron from going out and messing around, reducing his chances of getting sick.
However, when Sara heard Nora’s words, she felt that Nora was creating opportunities for Jane and
Byron to be alone.
So, Sara immediately smiled and said,
“If there’s too much to carry, you can help Byron out.”
Jane glanced at Byron and felt even more attracted to this man. Even with all the gossip surrounding him, it didn’t diminish his mature and captivating charm in the slightest.
“Well then, I’ll go and help.”
Jane nodded and followed suit.
Nora frowned slightly at this scene but didn’t say anything.
Now that Cora and Byron had already broken up, anyone woman would do as long as she could help to stop Byron from messing around.
Jane quickly followed Byron to the kitchen.
After instructing the servants on what to prepare, Byron left the kitchen and headed to the courtyard to smoke.
Soon, Jane approached him and asked,
“Byron, are you feeling down?”
Byron squinted while exhaling smoke, observing Jane.
She had intentionally dressed up tonight, wearing a knitted dress that outlined her figure, adding a certain charm to her.
The ends of her long and straight hair had even become curly.
