So, Sadie mixed the pills among the other medicine prescribed by the doctor.
However, on the same day, Jane and Sara also came to visit Nora.
After Byron left, the Yoris family maintained a neutral relationship with the Hansen family.
Given the families’ past friendship, a visit from the members of the Yoris family was only natural.
“Madam Hansen, here’s an anti-cancer medicine that I’ve been researching lately. I’ve tried it on several patients, and the results are promising.”
Jane presented to Nora an anti-cancer solution she made herself.
Nora smiled and asked Osborn to accept it.
“I appreciate it.”
“Jane has been busy working with patients recently, and many cancer patients have sought her out specifically. After taking the solution she developed, they are feeling much better.”
Sara had a tendency to brag about Jane while in Nora and Osborn’s presence, as if trying to show them what they had missed out on.
“You wouldn’t believe it, but regular patients would have to wait for several days just to get an appointment with Jane. Also, this solution is not available to the general public.”
Listening to Sara’s enthusiastic praises, Nora and Osborn exchanged glances…
Both Osborn and Nora were perceptive, so they were aware that Sara was praising Jane to make them realize that Byron not marrying her was a huge loss for the Hansen family.
In fact, Osborn and Nora did regret allowing Cora and Byron to be together, as it almost led to a tragic separation of the couple.
But despite their regrets, they didn’t want to let Sara in on it lest it would boost her arrogance.
“Is that so? Jane is such an outstanding woman!”
Nora merely gave an off-handed remark.
However, Sara said,
“Jane doesn’t only demonstrate exceptional talent in medicine. Recently, she’ll also be representing New York in the Continental Crafts Competition.”
She added,
“Her opponents are nothing special, just those who have been defeated by Jane in the past two years…”
In other words, the gold prize for the Continental Crafts Competition would soon be Jane’s.
Yet, Nora wasn’t interested in that.
Since Jane had already married Harry, her excellence no longer had anything to do with Byron or the
Hansen family.
So, she quickly pretended to be tired and asked Osborn to send the guests away.
Sara hadn’t finished bragging about Jane, so she felt unhappy upon being dismissed like that.
“That old lady is definitely in denial of her regrets. That’s why she doesn’t want to see us.”
Jane held Sara’s hand.
“Mom, you should stop bragging about me so much in front of others. I feel embarrassed.”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about? You are truly outstanding. You deserve all the praise in the world,”
Sara said.
She then had a question for Jane.
“By the way, I met Harry’s mother the day before yesterday, and she made mention of the family needing an heir again. How about you start preparations for pregnancy after the competition next year?”
In her eyes, Jane was great in every way.
However, the Cross family had been somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Jane hadn’t gotten pregnant.
Left with no choice, Sara joined the bandwagon of pushing Jane for a pregnancy.
However, Jane’s reply was the same as ever.
“Let me think about it.”
In fact, she still couldn’t fully accept Harry, especially now she knew Byron was still alive…
Up until then, she continued taking contraceptives without her family’s knowledge.
“You and Harry are getting older, so have a child. With the financial resources of both families, you won’t need to take care of the child yourself. All you need to do is bear us a child,”
Sara said.
From Jane’s perspective, it wasn’t about the efforts needed to raise a child.
So, she quickly changed the subject.
“Mom, weren’t you going to go shopping? Let’s go. It’s been a long time since we shopped together.”
Sara’s attention was quickly diverted.
“Right, it’s been a long time since we went shopping together.
How about we have some food after shopping?”
“Sure, I think some alcohol would be nice too…”
They chattered as they quickly walked away.
After they left, Osborn intended to throw away the solution Jane brought them.
During that period, many people had taken the initiative to send medical supplements to Nora.
She had tried a few but found no effect. She even ended up in the emergency room a few times because of some of them.
Since then, whenever someone brought her supplements, she wouldn’t even spare them a glance and would ask Osborn to discard them right away.
Thus, Osborn thought she would do the same to Jane’s solution.
Unexpectedly, Nora spoke up as soon as he picked up the bag of items.
“Hang on, Osborn.”
“How come? You don’t really want to drink these, do you?”
Osborn hesitated and turned to look at her.
They had been together for decades, so they could understand what the other was thinking with a single glance, even if neither spoke.
Sure enough, Osborn was able to sense what was on Nora’s mind as soon as he looked at her.
“You haven’t forgotten the last time you had this kind of thing and spent over ten hours in the emergency room, almost not making it back from there, right?”
Because of that incident, Osborn strongly disapproved of Nora consuming such random stuff.
However, Nora said,
“I haven’t forgotten, but I also want to see our Byron get married and have children.”
“But…”
Osborn wanted to talk her out of it, but he saw tears welling up in Nora’s eyes.
Indeed, Byron had just survived a near??eath experience.
Osborn wanted to see Byron find happiness and live a fulfilling life before his passing.
Being the one who doted on Byron the most, Nora intended to do that too.
So, he could only hand over to Nora the bag of solution that Jane brought them.
“Well, I suppose we have nothing to lose.”
Nora took the medicine and started to take Jane’s solution from that day on…
After delivering the medicine to Nora, Cora returned to the hotel.
Initially, she thought about contacting Byron first, but when she called, she realized she had been blocked.
Byron had quite a lot of social engagements during the nights, so she didn’t know where to find him. In the end, she decided to visit his villa later in the night.
As soon as Cora entered the room, she heard the laughter of two people.
In the suite’s guest room, she found Martin and Jerry playing with Legos together.
Seeing Cora, Martin waved and asked her to join them.
“Wow, Martin, you’re so amazing! You stacked the pieces so high!”
Cora kissed Martin before looking at Jerry.
“That person today…”
Cora knew Jerry wanted to ask about Byron, but Martin shouldn’t be hearing about it.
“Martin, why don’t you play here for a while?”
Martin nodded adorably, and Cora motioned for Jerry to follow her.
The two of them chatted on the balcony near the living room. Through the window wall, they could see Martin’s every move in the living room.
Jerry looked at Martin and lit a cigarette before getting straight to the point.
“Is Martin’s father still alive?”
“Yes, I found out about it when I came back this time,”
Cora replied.
Cora looked at Martin, who was putting the Lego pieces together alone. The more she studied him, the more she realized that
Martin resembled a certain someone.
She was so engrossed in studying Martin’s features that she didn’t notice the change in Jerry’s expression.
“You said you have business here. Is it because of him?”
“Not entirely. Martin’s grandmother got seriously ill, and I’m here to treat her,”
