Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“The killer? Do you mean the guy who followed me before? But Byron told me that he had already dealt with it.”
“There is more than killer. Lionel wants to avenge his only son. How could he hire only one killer?”
When Carter mentioned Lionel, Cora realized that these things were all caused by her.
If it weren’t for her outstanding appearance that aroused Nicholas’ evil intention, there wouldn’t have been so many things later, and it wouldn’t have led to his death. Then, Lionel wouldn’t have hired killers to take revenge on them…
At this moment, someone seemed to have discovered something. Many people were surrounded there.
Several members of the Hansen family were wiping their tears.
Cora’s heart sank continuously. She wanted to see it.
But Carter said,
“You’d better stay here. The last person they want to see now is you. I think you should know why.”
His words struck Cora’s heart like a hammer.
Carter was right. Lionel hired killers to take revenge on them because of her.
The Hansen elders valued Byron. If Byron had something wrong, they would definitely hate her.
But Cora still wanted to take a look, even if the Hansen family would scold her.
She was not afraid of it as long as she could see him again.
She walked behind Carter, but Carter suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at her coldly.
“Don’t forget what Mr. Hansen said. You signed the divorce agreement. Now, you have nothing to do with him. So you have no right to participate in this affair.”
Cora turned pale in an instant.
It turned out that he was saying goodbye to her at that time.
But Cora was focused on the divorce and ignored the crucial information.
She even used vicious tricks to get him to give up on her.
This result was his punishment for her.
Seeing Cora’s pale face, Gabe felt distressed.
“Cora is also very sad about Byron’s accident. Why do you have to hurt her again at this time?”
“Mr. Pope, you have gone too far.”
Sally was also resentful.
But Carter said,
“I didn’t hurt her. I just stated the fact. She has signed the divorce agreement. Now, she has nothing to do with Mr. Hansen.”
After a pause, he continued,
“Mr. Hansen entrusted me to deal with the distribution of the rest of the property. I will talk to you after I finish my work here.”
The rescuers put the body in a body bag and pulled it to the rescue vehicle.
The Hansen family members followed behind, and Carter also followed.
“Byron…
“Byron, don’t leave me!”
Cora ignored Carter’s warning, rushed into the rain, and ran after the crowd.
But God seemed to be against her.
The rain got heavier at this moment.
It was so heavy that the surroundings became a vast expanse of whiteness. The rain made it difficult for Cora to walk, and she fell to her knees.
Gabe and Sally tried to pull her up from the ground, but she refused to stand up.
Her face was wet with tears or rain. She couldn’t see the way they left at all.
“I was wrong. Come back, Byron!
“I don’t make trouble anymore. Go home with me.”
She wailed.
But no one responded to her.
She finally understood that she lost the man who loved her the most.
Cora cried until she was exhausted. In the end, Gabe and Sally took her back to the hospital.
From that day on, she was numb, as if she could not perceive any changes at all.
After a few days, it was the day of Byron’s funeral.
Sally and Gabe dared not to tell Cora about this. They tried to coax her to eat something.
“Cora, you look so thin. Just eat something, okay?”
Gabe made the oatmeal for her.
He dared not to leave New York, fearing that something would happen to Cora.
Sally was also worried about Cora. She didn’t even dare to leave the emergency room. She was afraid that Cora would do something extreme if she took a few steps away and didn’t look at her.
“If you don’t want oatmeal, how about pizza? I’ll order the spicy. Would you like to drink beer?”
“Sally, she hasn’t eaten for a few days. How can she drink beer?”
Gabe said paternally.
But Sally said,
“It would be better if she could drink. There is a channel for her to vent her emotions.”
Gabe also thought it was reasonable.
“Then how many bottles should I buy?”
But when he stood up, Cora suddenly grabbed his sleeve.
“Cora?”
It was the first time that Cora reacted to them these days. Gabe was happy.
Cora’s voice was hoarse.
“Gabe, can you help me?”
“What do you want? Tell me. I will help you with whatever you want.”
“Take me to his funeral.”
Gabe had no choice but to take Cora to the place where Byron was buried.
There was the best cemetery in New York. The environment was good.
Since the day Byron’s accident happened, it had been raining in New York. It was still raining heavily today. Maybe God pitied his death.
Everyone on the seeing-off team held a black umbrella, which made them look more solemn.
Cora wore black clothes. Gabe helped her keep a black umbrella, and Sally supported her.
Nora was also on the seeing-off team. She saw Cora from a distance and became emotional, rushing to her immediately.
“Why are you here? You divorced Byron, and you don’t have the right to stand here!”
Nora even stretched out to push Cora.
Byron was her youngest child. He was young and still had a long way to go. Why did he pass away suddenly?
So far, Nora still couldn’t accept this fact.
Sally and Gabe hurriedly protected Cora and also persuaded her to leave.
The Hansen family hated Cora. They treated her as the culprit of Byron’s accident. She would be insulted if she stayed here.
But Cora didn’t want to leave.
She bowed in front of Nora and begged,
“Please, just let me watch him from afar.”
“You are reluctant to leave Byron. Why did you still divorce him?”
Nora watched Cora and cried bitterly.
In the end, Osborn took her away.
Later, the Hansen family didn’t stop Cora. Cora cried silently and watched the funeral.
It wasn’t until the funeral was over and all the Hansen family had left that Cora cautiously walked to
Byron’s grave.
The photo on the tombstone was wet from the rain. Cora took out a tissue and wiped it carefully.
“Honey, it’s wet here. You must feel uncomfortable. It’s okay. I’ll help you wipe the water off.
“Why do you want to lead the killer to your side? Just let them come to me. I can fight against them.
You don’t have to do so many stupid things for me…
“Honey, are you leaving? Are you really so cruel that you want to abandon me?
“Please don’t go. I won’t make trouble anymore. As long as you return, I promise I will spend the rest of my life with you. We can live a happy life.”
In the end, Cora couldn’t control her emotion. She lay down in front of the tombstone, crying out of breath.
Seeing this scene, Gabe and Sally couldn’t help but feel depressed.
After Byron’s funeral, the rain in New York finally stopped.
