Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“Call me. I’m your grandma. If you call Grandma, I will take the puppy to the hospital as a companion for you.”
“Call me Grandpa, honey. As long as you call me, I will give everything to you.”
But even if these people coaxed him, Martin didn’t want tospeak.
He thought he would be like a juggling animal in a zoo if he talked when being coaxed.
Maybe his father understood what Martin was thinking, so he said,
“Don’t push Martin. He just started talking, so he won’t be able to say that much for a while.”
Others had to give up temporarily.
This made Martin feel that it was good to admit his scumbag father.
In this way, as long as they made eye contact, they could understand each other.
Considering that so many things happened today and the family of three needed to rest, Nora and the others reminded Cora and Martin a few words and left.
Perhaps because of leaning against Byron’s arms, Martin felt at ease.
So he fell asleep soon after they left.
Seeing the child sleeping soundly in his arms, Byron’s smile didn’t fade away.
“Put him on the bed and let him sleep by himself,”
Cora reminded.
“No need. I want to hold him a little longer. He likes sleeping like this, so let him.”
Looking at the innocent face in his arms, Byron suddenly said,
“Cora, Tell me about Martin’s childhood.”
“What do you want to hear?”
“Anything is fine,”
Byron said.
A small child like him, calling him
“father”
today.
That miraculous feeling made him wish he could go back four years ago and protect him, who had not yet arrived in this world.
“Martin’s birth was a miracle. When I was pregnant for more than six months, I had a placental sinus rupture. At that time, I had to stay in the hospital to save the baby, even having to do everything in bed. But I managed to sustain the pregnancy until more than eight months, and Martin was still born prematurely…”
Cora approached Byron and looked at Martin sleeping soundly in his arms, her eyes unintentionally becoming gentler.During that time, her mental state was terrible because of Byron’s
“death”.
But Martin’s toughness and resilience, like a ray of light, made her persevere and move forward in the dark time.
“Although he was very small at birth, he couldn’t even get insurance. But he grew up quickly afterward and became chubby in six months. Let me show you some pictures of him when he was a baby.”
Cora said with increasing happiness, flipping through the photos stored in her phone for Byron to see.
Then, Byron saw Martin, around six months old, chubby and incredibly cute.
However, Byron paid more attention to how Cora looked at that time. She was so thin, almost just bones, and her eyes were dimmed.
Martin was born prematurely and lacked various congenital conditions, but he transformed in six months to becomeplump and no different from a normal child. This was undoubtedly deeply related to Cora’s careful care.
But at that time, Cora had just experienced the pain of losing her husband, and her mental state was extremely poor, yet she had to take care of and nurture the child alone.
Thinking about all this, Byron truly felt heartache and guilt.
His voice hoarse, he said,
“Cora, I really regret it. If I had contacted you earlier and brought you and Martin by my side, you wouldn’t have had to endure everything alone.”
Cora wanted to look up at him, but he covered her eyes with his hand.
Cora then stopped looking and just leaned on his shoulder.
“Everything is in the past. And during that time, we were both at fault. You don’t need to blame yourself excessively. Just be grateful that we have all survived…”
This time, regaining what was lost made Cora understand the preciousness of reunion.So she had already decided to completely let go of everything from before and live a good life with Martin and Byron.
“Well, after your face heals, we will have our wedding.”
“Okay…”
The two held hands, leaning against each other happily.
The next day, when Sara came to see Cora, she happened to see the doctor changing the medicine on Cora’s face.
“What happened? Is it infected?”
When Sara came in, she noticed that the wound was slightly red and swollen, and there were some blisters, causing her to worry.
“Yes, it’s probably because the gauze quality was not good enough yesterday. I’ve already changed to a more breathable one now.”
Cora replied calmly, but Sara still couldn’t help but worry. *Should we ask a specialist to come and take a look? It would be troublesome if it leaves a scar.”
“If it leaves a scar, would you not recognize me?”
Cora suddenly asked.
“How is it possible? You are my daughter. No matter how you change, you will always be my daughter.”
Sara explained anxiously and added,
“I’m just worried that if you and Byron remarry, and you have scars on your face, what if someone takes advantage of the situation?”
Sara always considered everything for Cora, her daughter.
At this moment, she was already searching in her mind for a reliable dermatologist.
Seeing Sara looking so preoccupied, Cora suddenly smiled and said,
“With my mom here, even if someone dares to take advantage of the situation, Mr. Hansen should think twice before angering my family.”
“That’s true. Although the Yoris family is not as prestigious as the Hansen family, we still have a significant influence. If he dares to betray you, the Yoris family will risk everything we have to help you…”
Sara said with determination before realizing something and looking at Cora in astonishment.
“Cora, what did you just call me?”
She seemed to faintly hear Cora calling her…
“Mom, don’t you like it when I call you that?”
Cora looked up and met Sara’s slightly reddened eyes, then smiled lightly.At that moment, Sara truly felt as if her world had been completely filled.
That sense of emptiness that had plagued her for over twenty years suddenly vanished.
“Oh! I like it. How could I not? I’ve been waiting for this ‘Mom’ for so long.”
Sara wiped her tears.
“I’ve made many mistakes before and deeply hurt your heart. But I have truly changed, and in the future, I will treat you well and make up for the years of maternal love you were missing. Thank you for giving me this chance…”
Cora reached out and hugged her, a smile appearing on the corners of her lips.
This was also the first time she had been so close to her mother.
Previously, Flora had always rejected any hugs or intimacy, and she had never experienced the feeling of depending on her mother.
But Sara didn’t reject her and even did things for her within her capabilities.Like two days ago, when she cried so heartbreakingly that she wanted to enter the fire, Sara, although opposing her, went to the fire scene without hesitation.
And after Cora was hospitalized, Sara insisted on cooking for Cora every day and bringing it to Cora.
Worried that Martin would disturb her rest, she also insisted on bringing Martin along.
Even if Martin was mischievous, Sara patiently took care of her.
Cora saw all of this.
It made her truly feel that she was loved and cared for.
She was no longer alone and had family to rely on.
Now, when she felt tired, she could lean on her mother’s embrace.
Her mother’s arms were soft and warm, with a fragrance that was not like perfume, which made her feel relieved and comfortable…
Sara embraced Cora in return.
The feeling of being hugged by her daughter made her feel immensely fulfilled.
After returning home, she immediately told William and Arnold about today’s event, and Cora called her Mom.
“Cora really called you Mom?”
William exclaimed and couldn’t help but wonder,
“I wonder when she will be willing to call me Dad.”
Well, he also hoped very much to receive Cora’s recognition.
But Arnold said,
“She has already called her Mom, which means she has accepted the fact that we are a family.”
Arnold added,
“Believe me, it won’t be long before she calls you Dad and calls me Grandpa. But right now, the most important thing is to announce that she is the daughter of the Yoris family!”
William also thought Arnold’s proposal was good.
“Yes, publicly announcing that she is the heiress of our Yoris family. In the future, anyone who wants to bully her will have to think twice about whether they can afford to offend us. And then, we can have a legitimate reason to let her marry into the Hansen family from the Yoris family.”
Arnold nodded in agreement. Their ideas coincided.
“Cora’s birthday is coming up soon. Let’s organize a big celebration for her and announce her status as the heiress of our Yoris family.”
