“What’s the point of waking you up? You just recovered from an illness and should rest more. I’m strong, and I can handleit.”
Cora’s eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Jerry, who kept comforting her despite his tense and pained shoulders.
“Jerry, is what you said before true?”
“What do you mean?”
Jerry rubbed his shoulder and asked.
“About wanting to take care of us, me and Martin.”
Cora’s voice was choked up.
Everyone had left Cora feeling disappointed throughout the day yesterday, from her ex??usband to her biological mother.
Only Jerry didn’t show any aversion to the trouble and had taken care of the two of them all night.
Cora suddenly felt that finding someone to rely on wouldn’t be a bad idea.
But Jerry was momentarily lost, even doubting if he had misheard, and couldn’t answer.
Thinking that he was having second thoughts, Cora said,
“If you regret it, just forget I asked.”
It was too awkward, and Cora didn’t know how to face Jerry next.
She was about to get up and run away.
But Jerry pulled her back onto the chair next to him and said,
“I just feel that the surprise came too suddenly, and I even doubted my own ears.”
Then Jerry looked at Cora seriously and said,
“I don’t regret it. If you give me a chance, I will take good care of you and
Martin.”
Hearing that, Cora smiled.
“Then let’s give it a try.”
Jerry looked at Cora earnestly and held her hand.
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
Byron’s villa…
Since leaving the Hansen Group yesterday, Byron had been waiting here for Cora to come to him.
But Cora seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Byron couldn’t stand it and asked Carter to investigate if Cora had left New York again.
However, the answer did not align with Byron’s expectations.
Carter said that Cora was still in New York.
Byron pondered if Cora really had a relative with mental illness and wanted to find Johnson for treatment.
So after smoking a few cigarettes, he called Johnson…

“It’s so early! What’s the matter? Are you in a bad mood again?”
On the other end of the phone, a male voice sounded.
“No.”
Byron lit another cigarette.
During the time of his rehabilitation after the car accident four years ago, Byron’s temperament often got out of control.
Upon learning the news, Byron’s longtime friend Johnson took responsibility for regulating his emotions.
In order to help Byron return to a normal life, Johnson had been living nearby for almost four years.
That was why Cora had been unable to find Johnson’s whereabouts all this time.
then?”
“What is it then?”
“I want you to give a speech and help ease the minds of the employees at the Hansen Group.”
However, Johnson wasn’t interested in any of this and said,
“You know, I am not lack of money.”
The wealth Johnson had accumulated over the years wasenough for him to live a comfortable life for the rest of his days.
“I know you don’t need money, and I also know your mom has been trying to find a wife for you lately.”
“So what? Can you be my wife?”
Johnson still didn’t show any interest.
However, Byron said,
“As a man, I can’t be your wife, but if I tell your mom that you’ve been relentlessly pursuing a woman and even followed her to New York, she will definitely find a way to turn her into your wife.”
Johnson’s volume immediately increased.
“You knew that I was slept by that woman, and she even humiliated me by giving me money after that, and that’s why…”
“Anyway, it’s a fact that you two had slept,”
Byron interrupted Johnson’s lengthy argument directly.
Johnson gritted his teeth and said,
“You’re ruthless!”
In this way, Johnson confirmed his schedule to give a speech at the Hansen Group.
Meanwhile, early that morning, Byron gave Carter a task.
“Dr.
Watts is giving his first speech in the country. I want it to be thrilling.”
Carter’s straightforward nature came into play at this moment.
“I think it’s more efficient to just inform Miss Lane directly.”
Carter saw the efforts put into organizing a speech for Johnson and creating a buzz as excessive and inconvenient.
He knew that everything Byron did was ultimately to let Cora know about Johnson’s whereabouts.
Going around in such a big circle made Carter feel that it was a waste of time and energy.
But Byron gave him a furious look and asked,
“Who said I did all this for her?”
Carter rolled his eyes inwardly.
It was evident to anyone with even a hint of insight thatwhenever Byron went to great lengths, it was solely for the sake of Cora.
Choosing not to argue with Byron, Carter went along with his order. He diligently publicized the announcement of Johnson’s speech at the Hansen Group, making sure it appeared on the trending topics list.
After all, money was something Byron didn’t lack, and they had no qualms about being extravagant and wasteful.
On the other side, Cora and Jerry had already returned to their small apartment with Martin.
None of them slept well last night, so after going back, Cora took Martin upstairs to sleep.
Jerry, on the other hand, volunteered to rest on the couch downstairs.
When Cora woke up again, she heard Jerry answering a phone call downstairs.
“Really? That’s fantastic news.”
Even if it was a floor away, Cora could hear the excitement and joy in Jerry’s voice.
Cora wondered what good news could make Jerry so happy.
At that moment, Martin also woke up.
Hearing Jerry’s voice downstairs, Martin was ecstatic.
Martin immediately uncovered the blanket and randownstairs, rushing straight to Jerry and hugging his legs.
“You little brat. We get a doctor!”
After ending the phone call, Jerry eagerly embraced Martin, showering him with kisses in a state of pure excitement.
Cora followed Martin downstairs and saw Jerry’s uncontrollable excitement. She asked,
“What happened? Why are you so happy?”
“We have the latest news about Dr. Watts.”
After hearing Jerry’s words, Cora’s eyes instantly lit up.
“It’s so early! What’s the matter? Are you in a bad mood again?”
On the other end of the phone, a male voice sounded.
“No.”
Byron lit another cigarette.
