“Really?”
Jane looked at Sara miserably.
“Of course, I always keep my promises.”
Seeing Jane calming down a bit, Sara took her toward the bedroom.
“Have a rest. I will take care of everything else. As long as you’re fine, I will do whatever it takes to help you.”
William thought Sara was just comforting Jane, so he also agreed,
“I will do everything possible to help you. Take a good rest! Nothing is more important than your health right now.”
Having received the promises from them, Jane obediently and quietly returned to her room.
As they left her room after placing her on the bed and coaxing her to sleep, Jane, who had pretended to be already asleep, suddenly turned over and got out of bed. She went to the dressing table and wiped her face in front of the mirror. The thick layer of foundation that made her look extremely pale was quickly removed, revealing her originally rosy complexion.
Jane knew that neither Sara nor William was ruthless. They wouldn’t easily push Cora to a dead end.
So, she had to take matters into her own hands and give them a push.
Then they were obediently doing things according to her plan now.
But this might not be enough.
Cora was a cunning woman and not so easily controlled by Sara.
Thinking for a while, Jane sent a message to Flora, briefly telling Flora that Cora and Byron had registered their marriage…
This time, Jane made a very straightforward request: [You should keep an eye on Dr. Lane.]
She thought Flora would quickly agree as usual, willing to go to great lengths to fulfill her desires.
Unexpectedly, Flora replied: [I understand your resentment, but I can’t control her. And Dr. Yoris, if you don’t want to lose everything you have now, try not to provoke her.]
Upon reading Flora’s message, Jane threw her phone onto the bed.
“So, you’re in cahoots with Cora too, huh? I thought you were different!”
Jane believed Flora would react this way because she was protecting Cora.
“Cunning woman, you’ve been tricking me all the time!”
The more she thought about it, the more infuriated she became. She must retaliate against this wicked mother and daughter!
On the other side, the payment notices for the burns unit appeared once again in Cora’s sight.
Annoyed, she took the payment notice to see Flora.
“What’s up? Didn’t Dr. Yoris pay the fee?”
Seeing Flora’s expressionless face, she continued to say,
“Look at your precious daughter. She won’t even help you with the basic treatment fees!”
Flora remained silent, tightly gripping the bedsheet.
In truth, she wished she could scratch Cora’s face after finding out that she and Byron had registered their marriage.
However, she had to consider the leverage Cora held and worry about Jane’s situation. So she swallowed her indignation.
Cora knew what Flora was wary of. Looking at her trying to suppress her anger, Cora couldn’t help but smirk.
“Oh, did I tell you? Mr. Hansen and I have registered our marriage. I’ve completely snatched Jane’s fianc?. Does that make you angry?”
Flora tightly pursed her lips but eventually couldn’t hold back, retorting,
“Since you’ve become Byron’s wife, just stop causing trouble.”
But Cora laughed upon hearing this.
“Causing trouble? Am I the one causing trouble? Did I swap newborn babies? Or did I use despicable means to prevent other children from studying medicine just so my daughter would have fewer competitors? Or did I resort to death threats to force others to break up, all for my daughter’s happiness?”
“Mrs. Flora Lane, none of these things were done by me, were they?”
She coldly stared at Flora, whose face showed discontent.
Yet Flora had no choice but to control her temper and maintain a calm gaze.
“I admit I made mistakes, but since the damage is done, what do you expect me to do now? I’m just doing what I can to make everyone suffer a little less.”
Unable to hold back, Cora burst into laughter.
“I never realized you were so good at putting on a virtuous facade, just like your daughter.
“All this is just to let your daughter continue enjoying the privileges of being Miss Yoris. Do you really think I can’t see through it?”
Flora’s expression stiffened as Cora’s words exposed her hypocrisy.
“I didn’t…”
Flora wanted to continue weaving more lies, but Cora wasn’t in the mood to listen to her now.
“Enough with the useless words. You should feel fortunate that I don’t want to face the Yoris family right now. Otherwise, do you really think I will willingly let her be a cuckoo in the nest?”
These words sounded quite insulting, but despite displeasure, Flora had to admit it brought a slight sense of relief.
As long as Jane could stay in the Yoris family, her future would still be bright.
“Take this payment notice to Jane. I won’t help you with anything extra.”
After delivering this statement, Cora returned to her work and continued until the end of her shift.
Since Byron had an engagement tonight and couldn’t come to pick her up, he sent Carter instead.
When Cora left the hospital, Carter hadn’t arrived yet, so she waited by the roadside.
However, she didn’t notice a dilapidated Santana not far away, where a man made a phone call, keeping a cold stare on her.
“Is that her? Okay. Remember to pay me once the task is done.”
“I had Carter bring you some oatmeal, which you said tasted good before.”
Standing by the roadside, Cora received a call from Byron, fearing she might be bored waiting alone and wanting to keep her company.
“I’m fine with anything. There’s no need to bring me the oatmeal especially,”
Cora replied.
Actually, she was craving spicy pizza and two bottles of beer.
However, since she lied about being pregnant, Byron forbade her to eat junk food.
“It’s better to have something you like. I heard pregnant women can be picky with food, and some might even feel nauseous from certain smells. But you seem to be doing fine,”
Byron remarked.
His words made Cora freeze for a moment.
She couldn’t help but wonder if he was testing her.
“Some pregnant women have a good appetite. By the way, it’s said that when a woman is pregnant, she should eat whatever she desires, or else the child might have asymmetry eyes,”
Cora teased, slyly trying to convince Byron to get her something she truly wanted.
“Just say you want pizzas,”
Byron said, easily figuring out her concealed meaning.
Cora briefly suspected that Byron had already seen through her fake pregnancy.
“Are you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a harsh engine sound interrupted her.
When she turned around, she saw a car speeding toward her.
At that moment, Cora’s mind went blank.
“What’s wrong with me?”
Byron was still waiting for Cora to continue her sentence.
“Cora?”
As Byron received no response from Cora, he instead heard a crashing sound.
Then there was only silence.
Feeling panicked, he dialed her number again, but it went straight to voicemail.
“Something is off!”
His heart skipped a beat, and then he immediately called Carter to rush to Cora’s location while he himself dashed out of his office.
“Cora, are you okay?”
Tyler’s voice came from above.
It was only then that Cora regained some composure.
She quickly looked up and saw Tyler’s anxious face.
“Tyler…”
“Are you okay? Are you injured?”
Tyler continued to look at her with worry.
Tyler was just about to leave the hospital after finishing his shift.
His car was sent for maintenance today, so he asked the family driver to pick him up.
While waiting for the driver, he noticed Cora waiting for someone by the roadside.
He had intended to greet her, but he saw her talking on the phone with great enthusiasm, revealing a lively expression he had never seen before. Tyler guessed the person on the other end must be Byron.
He learned about their sudden marriage registration from Byron’s Instagram.
Byron never liked showing his private life to the public. Since they followed each other on WhatsApp,
