But she was worried that it would make her look self-sentimental. So she didn’t say anything in the end.
On the contrary, Byron said inexplicably before leaving the bedroom,
“The Hansen Group owns shares in the First Hospital.”
The implication was that he could help with Cora’s suspension and criticism.
But Cora lifted the quilt and lay in it as if she didn’t hear it.
Seeing that, Byron didn’t say anything. He went downstairs to continue the meeting.
The sound of his footsteps went away. Cora opened her eyes again.
She knew what Byron meant.
But the rule between adults was that if the problems could be solved with money or wisdom, they would never want to owe others a favor.
Cora had already thought of a way to break the situation, but she would not ask Byron for help or refuse his kindness before she was sure whether that method would work.
The medicine Byron gave was effective. After a night of sleep, Cora woke up and felt her cold was already cured.
When she went downstairs, she happened to see Carter delivering a meal from the hotel, so she took it on her initiative.
“Mr. Pope, let’s eat together.”
Carter glanced at the man who was staring at the computer screen expressionlessly.
“No need. I have something else to do.”
“I’ll see you off.”
“No, thanks.”
Cora didn’t know if it was her delusion. She felt that Carter’s back as he walked away quickly seemed like a lion was chasing after him.
After Carter left, she and Byron started eating breakfast.
“You seem to be very busy. So…”
Cora took a few bites of bread and said, trying to persuade Byron to leave.
After all, their relationship was not over. They didn’t know each other well except for a physical relationship. It was weird to stay together all day.
But Byron interrupted before she could finish her words.
“I’m not busy. Everything has been dealt with.
Do you want me to leave?”
Cora nodded immediately.
“Are you afraid that I will do something to you?”
Cora didn’t know how to respond for a while.
It was pretentious to say she was afraid. The hickeys he left on her body last night were so obvious.
But their relationship was not suitable.
Byron didn’t wait for her to answer and said,
“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you until you recover from your cold.”
Cora was speechless.
But fortunately, Byron didn’t do anything to her that night, even if they were lying in the same quilt.
The following day, Byron was talking on the phone while putting on his shirt.
“Well, I’ll be there in half an hour.”
Cora knew he would leave soon.
After hesitating for a moment, she took the initiative to help Byron tie his tie.
Her movements seemed skillful. Byron looked at her after he finished the phone call.
“Do you know what you are doing?”
Cora tied a perfect bow tie. Byron suddenly pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him.
Cora looked into his eyes. She lightly bit her lip.
“Appreciating you.”
She referred to the matter that he brought her back from the ferry.
But Byron didn’t speak. He stared at her as if trying to get a clue from her face.
He was very close to her, and his unique masculine aura teased her vaguely.
Cora was afraid that being watched like this would expose her intentions, so she quickly broke free from his hands.
“Are you free at noon? I’ll treat you to lunch after I finish my work.”
If her method didn’t work, the only way left was to ask Byron for help.
Although she wasn’t sure what price Byron would charge her for helping her, she couldn’t let her career be compromised.
Byron stared at Cora, wanting to say something else.
But at this moment, his mobile phone rang again.
“You decide the time and place. Send it to me later.”
Byron grabbed the suit jacket on the sofa and left.
After Byron left, Cora took a deep breath, changed into a dress, and went to find Mia.
When Cora entered Mia’s ward, Mia was eating a pear that the maid had peeled for her. While eating, she said,
“Buy some roast beef and two bottles of…”
Hearing that the door of the ward was opened, Mia turned her head and saw Cora. Her words stopped abruptly.
“You have been suspended. Why are you here?”
“I came to see you. How is the baby in your abdomen?”
Cora didn’t have to go to work today, so she didn’t wear a doctor’s overall but a lake blue knitted dress.
She wore light makeup before going to the hospital. Coupled with the dress, she looked like a delicate flower.
She walked toward Mia with a faint smile on her face. She was so charming.
But in Mia’s eyes, Cora was like a ghost, approaching her with an evil smile.
“What the hell are you trying to do?”
Mia roared.
“I want to have a chat with you alone.”
Cora walked to the back of the bed, took off the medication records, and checked them.
Mia resolutely refused.
“I don’t think there is any need to talk alone. The hospital made the decisions of suspension and criticism. The person you can chat with is not me.
“And I heard that the hospital will post the announcement at noon. It’s useless for you to look for anyone now.”
Thinking of Cora’s downfall that she couldn’t even become a doctor, Mia smirked.
“I’m not coming to talk about the announcement with you. I just want to talk about the baby in your abdomen.”
Cora ceased her smile.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll say it before the maid.”
Mia glanced at Cora. She was not sure if Cora knew something, so she finally asked the maid to leave.
“What the hell are you trying to say? I need a good rest and fetus protection.”
“Fetus protection? The premise is that there is a baby in your abdomen. You take a dextrose injection every day. It’s not useful for fetus protection!”
Cora threw the medication records onto the bed and looked at Mia coldly.
Cora never believed that
“a bad bargain was a kind of blessing”. Mia trampled on her self-esteem over and over again. She would not let her go easily.
She was never such a tolerant person.
Mia drove her to the wall. She didn’t mind a desperate battle.
“What do you mean?”
Mia’s throat tightened again. She clenched her fists, and her long nails were already sunk into her palms.
“You are not pregnant.”
Cora’s determined tone immediately threw Mia into a panic.
“How do you know? You took advantage of your position to check my case!”
Mia panicked.
“I’m a doctor. I know what the blood test report of a pregnant woman should be. So I don’t need to check your medical records. I just need to look at the HCG level in your blood test report.”
It was by chance that Cora saw Mia’s blood test report.
When she was helping a patient’s family member get the report, she accidentally caught a glimpse of
Mia’s blood test report at the window.
In that report, she found that the HCG value was not right.
“I originally thought the report was just a patient with the same name and surname as you. But combined with your behaviors at your engagement banquet, I think that report should belong to you.”
Mia was flustered. But when she thought those reports would be sent to Jane for centralized processing and revision, she immediately regained her confidence.
