Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
Was it because she had reconnected with Tyler so that she deliberately dressed up so well?
Just thinking of this made him want to ruin even those anklets.
However, this wicked woman didn’t even look at him.It seemed as if she was deliberately avoiding him and wanting to cut off contact with him.
Carter looked at the two of them. One didn’t even say hello, and the other looked like he wanted to eat people.
He felt that his effort to create a chance for them to meet this time had gone in vain.
“Yes. We’ll go in first, then. After you rest for about 20 minutes, there will be another meeting on the third floor. Remember to attend on time.”
Byron nodded, and Carter brought Cora into his office.
After walking a few steps, Byron still couldn’t help turning his head.
Only to see the back of that woman walking into Carter’s office slowly without even looking back.
He quickly averted his gaze and walked to his own office.
A middle-aged woman in a plain dress was sitting upright in Carter’s office.
It was evident she had taken good care of her skin, only that her hair was all gray.
“Miss Lane, this is my aunt, Liana Hayes.”
“Are you the recently famous Dr. Lanc? I heard about your achievements from the juniors in our family. They said that you can even cure cancer.”
Although Liana couldn’t see anymore, she was very friendly.
She even fumbled around to reach and greet Cora.
However, she accidentally knocked into the table leg and nearly fell.
Fortunately, Cora and Carter quickly moved to hold her up, narrowly escaping something worse.
“Ms. Liana Hayes, you can just call me Cora. You don’t need to be so formal with me.”
“I just want to get closer to see what you look like. Carter said that you are Byron’s wife and that you are very beautiful.”
Liana held Cora’s hand and said again,
“Although I still can’t see your face clearly, to be a person whom Byron can set his eyes on, your appearance and character must be the finest.”
Cora opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
She didn’t want everyone to know about her breakup with Byron.
Noticing the change in Cora’s expression, Carter quickly changed the subject.
He told Liana,
“It’s better to let her check on you first. We can discuss anything when your eyes are healed.”
But Liana said,
“My eyes won’t probably get better. I have seen many doctors, and they all said it was impossible. Even if I undergo surgery, there is only 30 percent of hope. It’s really not worth Dr. Lane’s special trip here.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Let Miss Lane check on you first.”
Cora also chimed in,
“Ms. Liana Hayes, please let me check on you first.”
Liana finally calmed down and let Cora check on her.
It was over soon after Cora checked her pulse and pupil reflexes.
“How is it, Miss Lane?”
“Does Ms. Liana Hayes cry often?”
Carter glanced at Liana before saying,
“Yes, she does. She cried every day after losing her daughter 12 years ago.”
Cora frowned and didn’t intend to continue asking questions in front of Liana.
She was also a mother, so it was natural for her to know what a child meant to their mother.
She also understood why Liana had gray hair despite looking young.
“I know what medicine to use. I’ll send it to you once I have returned and finished prescribing the medicine.”
“There’s no need. I’ll just pick it up at your place by then.”
“That’s fine, too.”After a brief diagnosis, Cora asked to leave.
Liana wanted to make Cora stay for dinner, but Cora made an excuse that she still had something to do and left.
As soon as Carter took Cora to the Hansen Group’s lobby, Byron’s car slowly stopped in front of them.
“Had Ms. Liana Hayes’ daughter been found?”
Cora hadn’t seen Byron’s car yet, as she was still thinking about Liana.
“No. Although more than ten years have passed, as soon as there is news of the little girl, she will go looking for her like crazy.
It’s just that every time she ends up with no results, she will inevitably feel depressed for a while. She will cry day and night, and that’s why her eyes end up like that.”
At this time, Carter had already seen Byron’s car and said,
“I guess it is no longer possible for her daughter to be found, but the problem with her eyes can’t be delayed. If she can’t see, she won’t be able to live by herself in the future.”
Cora nodded thoughtfully.
After Liana lost her child, her mental state was also affected.
Her husband wanted her to come out of her grief soon, so he suggested having another child.
But Liana refused, and the two divorced later.
She heard that in the second year after the divorce, the man had remarried and had children of his own.
Only Liana was still waiting for that child.
Thinking of this, Cora inevitably thought of her and Byron.
She was confident that she could take care of Martin forever and never remarry. But what about Byron?
Probably not.
She only agreed to Jerry’s few small requests before breaking up, but Byron was so angry that he went to find Elena again.
“There is still a medicine that I must find before I can give Ms.
Liana Hayes. Once everything is ready, I will contact you.”
“All right. I’ll go get it by then. I won’t trouble you to make another trip.”
“You’re welcome, Carter.”
Carter wanted to say something else when Byron’s car parked not far away suddenly honked, as if to remind the two of his existence, and also seemed to urge Carter to end the conversation quickly.
Since Byron repeatedly honked the horn, Cora finally noticed him, too.
Their eyes met, but the expression in the man’s eyes was still aloof and indifferent.
However, it was different from what Cora previously saw at Royal Club.
It was still the same aloofness and indifference, but there was an unmistakable order in those eyes.
He was ordering her to get in the car quickly.
“It’s hard to find a taxi here. I still have something to do, so I’ll let Mr. Hansen drive you back.”
Carter was quite delighted when he saw that man coming with his car. At least the chance he created was not totally pointless.
Cora averted her gaze from the car, then she turned around and bid farewell to Carter politely.
“Carter, you can go back to your work. I can take care of myself.”
However, she didn’t get into Byron’s car but walked slowly toward the subway entrance.
She was not Byron’s subordinate, so there was no need to listen to his orders.
She was not his wife either, so there was no need to stay in the same confined space to look at his sullen face when they just had such a huge fight.
On the other hand, Byron did not expect that she would not appreciate his good intention to drive her back at all.
He smacked the steering wheel in frustration, thinking that if she didn’t want to acknowledge his existence, he wouldn’t need to coax her either.
But seeing her entering the crowds in the subway with such alluring clothes, he finally got out of the car in irritation, threw the car keys to the security guard on the side, and followed closely.
It was the off??ork hour, and the subway was very crowded.
Once Cora found the route she wanted to take, she entered the crowded carriage.
There were so many people that there was no place to sit, so Cora had no choice but to hold the handle in the middle.
But she was wearing high heels today, and every time the train arrived at a station, she would stumble forward.
She kept wobbling and almost falling all the time.
Suddenly, a long arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her into an embrace.
She was about to put up a struggle when a familiar male voice came from above her head.
“Stop wriggling, or I won’t care about you anymore.”
Cora looked up in surprise and saw Byron’s face.
He was still in the same suit and leather shoes as before, and he was thoroughly exuding an unapproachable and cold aura.
But this person with such an aura was wrapping his arms.
tightly around her waist, protecting her from other people’s prying.
She angrily refused to look at him, but his distinctively fresh scent lingered around her nose, causing a sense of bitterness to surge up to the tip of her nose for no reason.
There was a constant flow of people going in and out of the train.
