“This is Yulia Wim. Dr. Lane, I believe you still have an impression of her.”
The acting director looked at Cora with a smile.
Cora withdrew her gaze and nodded.
“Well, I have a little impression.”
Yulia was the group member Cora selected during her treatment contest with Jane last time.
But at that time, Yulia was the one in the group who trusted Cora’s medical skills the least and wanted to leave anyway.
Therefore, Cora remembered her appearance.
As Yulia heard that Cora remembered her, the smile on her face was even brighter.
“Dr. Lane, I’m really sorry about what happened last time. I was blind and mistook you for a quack doctor.”
Cora’s expression remained calm, and she said,
“I don’t blame you. When people face the unknown, they are instinctively afraid.”
Hearing that Cora didn’t blame her, Yulia felt that these gifts in her hand had given her confidence.
“No, no, it was all my fault. If I hadn’t refused too fiercely at the time, you would not have been bullied by the Internet, Dr. Lane.
I’ve asked a lot of people for help and specially asked the director to arrange this lunch to apologize to you formally.”
Cora glanced at the acting director, and the latter lowered his head and stroked his thinning hair.
“Your apology is accepted, but the gifts are not necessary. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I’m leaving first.”
But when Yulia saw that Cora was leaving, she immediately became impatient.
“Dr. Lane, let me just say it straight. I came to you today to apologize and beg you to help me. I’ve had several operations before, but after the examination, the doctor told me that the cancer was still spreading.”
“But I clearly remember at that time, you said no matter the outcome, you would not accept my treatment. And I also said at the time that there would be no connection between us, and Iwould not treat you in the future.”
“That’s right…
But I…”

“But I don’t want to die!”
Yulia cried,
“Do you want money? I have a lot of money. My husband left me a lot of money after his death. Look! I’ve brought you this…”
As she said that, Yulia opened one of the gift boxes she brought just now.
The box was not filled with the precious, delicious mushrooms that were labeled on the packaging but was filled with cash.
“These boxes are full of money, too.”
Yulia pointed to the other gift boxes.
“As long as you help me cure my illness, these are all yours. And if you think it’s insufficient, I can give you more.’
Yulia also valued money very much before, so she directly stole a rich husband from someone else.
That man was over thirty years older than her, and even his child was older than her.
But she still married that man despite her family’s objections.
During that time, countless people teased her for marrying a man old enough to be her father and for not being able to bear children after getting married for so many years.
But she didn’t care at all. She would be happy as long as she had money and leisure.
She even felt those people who laughed at her were actually jealous of her.
But after getting sick, she suffered from pain every day, and there was no one trustworthy around her. Then she suddenly realized that money was mere worldly possessions.
If Cora could give her a healthy body, Yulia was even willing to give all her money in exchange.
She thought that with so much cash, Cora would waver by seeing it and would agree to treat her immediately.
But she didn’t expect Cora to pick up her handbag and leave without even looking at the cash.
Unwilling, Yulia chased her out.
“Am I not paying enough? I can give you all my property if you cure my illness. I don’t want to die…”
In the end, she almost hugged Cora’s thigh and begged.
That scene made the passing guests in the box next door very surprised.
“Don’t do this! Let me go!”
More and more people were watching, and Cora felt a little annoyed.
“If you don’t promise me, I won’t get up. And I will go outside and tell others that you won’t give me treatment because you didn’t receive enough money from me. You’ve forgotten the responsibility to save lives and heal the wounded as a doctor!”
Yulia’s words that distorted the truth almost made Cora laugh out of anger.
“You think I’m afraid that you’ll make up things? If you go out and ask, you’ll know that I’ve cured countless cancer patients in Leucrest Town, and I only charged a little money for the medicine.”
“Then why are you willing to heal other people but not me? Does my life not matter because I once offended you?”
It was the first time Cora saw such a troublesome person, and she immediately laughed angrily.
“Your life also matters. But I initially said I would not treat you since you refused my treatment repeatedly. In addition to being annoyed by you, it was also because you were at the best time for treatment. But you missed it. Your disease is spreading fast, and there is no cure…”
Yulia was dumbfounded.
She thought the disease would definitely be cured as long as Cora treated her.
But now Cora’s words were tantamount to a death sentence for her.
“No! You must be lying to me. Isidra’s condition was so bad then, but you still cured her, didn’t you? I can even walk and jump, so how can I be dying? You must still be angry with my offense to you, so you refuse to treat me!”
“Isidra seemed seriously ill, but the part where her cancer spread was not fatal. And you…
I suppose you have already cut off half of the important organs, but your situation is worsening, right?”
Yulia was stunned immediately.
Because Cora was right.”If you insist on me prescribing those medicines, I can also give them to you. It’s just that those medicines really don’t work for you.”
Cora took a box of pills from her bag, told Yulia the number and frequency of the pills taken, and left.
Yulia refused to accept the reality, so she still took the medicine given by Cora as a life??aving straw.
But two months later, she still died of illness…
B
Today, Cora was supposed to bring Martin to the First Hospital to treat patients, but Sara just came over and said that she could help take care of Martin so that Cora could go about her own affairs without any worries.
And after Martin had contact with Sara last time, he wasn’t so resistant to Sara.
So Cora said,
“Then I’ll be back in the afternoon.”
And as Cora hurried home after work, Martin was taking a nap.
Sara seemed to be attracted by the news broadcast on TV and didn’t even notice that Cora had come back.
Cora walked up and found that the scene of Jane’s urgent arrest was being shown on TV.
Looking at the scene, Sara looked dazed and sad.
It was only when she realized someone was approaching that she returned to her senses.
“Cora, you are back.”
She quickly turned off the TV and explained,
“Martin fell asleep. I had nothing to do, so I just watched TV for a while. I don’t feel sorry for her. I just feel pity.”
“It’s okay even if you feel sorry for her. It’s understandable. After all, you have raised and cherished her for so many years.”
Cora didn’t seem to have anything abnormal in her expression, but it was her calm look that made Sara feel distressed.
“Cora, I really don’t feel sorry for her. She deserves it. But I feel sorry for you more than her. Seeing that scene, I thought of the picture of you being arrested on the Internet some time ago. I think you must have been scared and aggrieved. After all, you haven’t done anything bad.”
Sara wept.
“But I was applauding in my heart at that time. A person like me is indeed unqualified to be your mother…”
Now, as long as Sara thought of what she had done to Cora before, her heart was filled with regret.
Seeing Sara weeping, Cora also felt uncomfortable.
In fact, whether it was her or Sara, they were all victims of Flora’s radical behavior back then.
Finally, Cora handed Sara a tissue.
“All right. Don’t cry. We don’t need to punish ourselves for others’ mistakes.”
Sara froze momentarily, took the tissue from Cora, and burst into tears.
But this time, she didn’t cry because of the trouble Flora and Jane had brought them, but simply because of joy for Cora’s action.Cora was gradually accepting her…
On Friday night, as Byron returned to the apartment, he found that Cora and Martin were not there and immediately panicked.
Especially when he opened the cabinet and found that Cora’s pink suitcase was missing, and when he called Cora and found that Cora’s phone couldn’t get through, he was even more anxious, like a cat on hot bricks.
He immediately asked Carter to investigate the whereabouts of Cora and Martin.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
“Cora?”
Byron hurriedly opened the door, only to discover it was Sara and William.
“Byron, what’s wrong?”
William asked.
