“So you are angry because of my rejection? Are you going to cut off contact with me?”
Byron finally figured out the whole thing, and suddenly his hostility towards Carter was not so great.
Cora was speechless.
It was true, and she could not deny it.
But even if she didn’t respond clearly, Byron still sneered.
“I was really busy last night. Do you think I rejected you on purpose?”
It was okay if he didn’t say anything, but the more he talked, the more Cora was annoyed.
When looking out of the car window, she happened to see that Byron’s car was parked near her apartment, so she simply opened the door and got off the car.
She didn’t expect that Byron also opened the door and followed, still holding his clothes.
“What are you following me for?”
Cora felt a bit irritated in early summer.
“Didn’t you invite me to your home to play? I’m here by invitation.”
The man was tall and had long legs, and he walked leisurely beside her.
It was just that when the word
“play”
was mentioned, Cora caught a glimpse of his jawline tightening slightly, and the half-smile on his face was even more vicious.
“That was yesterday. I didn’t intend to invite you today. You can go now.”
Cora was almost hysterical.
She couldn’t stand this man who was obviously laughing at her but still looked serious.
But facing her hysteria, Byron didn’t even look at her. He just said,
“I’m afraid that if I leave now, someone will think that I won’t accompany her and get angry and decide to break up with me unilaterally.”
Later, Byron even arrived at the apartment earlier than Cora.
Fortunately, Cora didn’t delete his fingerprints this time, and he opened the door easily.
After Cora followed through the door, he was like a beast ambushing in the dark, trapping Cora in his arms.
“What did you want to play with me yesterday? I’ll have fun with you today!”
The bridge of Byron’s pretty nose rubbed against Cora’s neck, and his voice was obviously a little hoarse than before.
“I don’t want to do anything today.”
Cora blushed.
Byron must have done it on purpose, insisting on teasing her with the word
“play”
over and over again.
“You can’t say you don’t want. We must have fun today to make sure you are not angry anymore.”
Byron didn’t take no for an answer. And the two of them indeed enjoyed that night.
Early the next morning, Byron was woken up by a phone call.
Cora was still curled up in bed at that time, with a posture of being extremely impatient with the phone call.
The two didn’t sleep until dawn last night. Now she urgently needed to catch up on sleep, so she would have the energy to return to work in the hospital.
Perhaps considering this, Byron took his phone and went to the balcony to answer the call.
The call was from Carter.
“What’s the matter so early in the morning?”
Byron’s voice carried the displeasure of being disturbed in the early morning.
But Carter’s voice was as calm as ever.
“There is something wrong. Mr. Yoris is investigating Miss
Lane.”
“Mr. Yoris?”
Byron narrowed his eagle-like eyes immediately.
“Which Mr. Yoris?”
“Mr. William Yoris.”
At Jane’s birthday party before, Byron noticed that William had a different focus on Cora, so he told
Carter to keep an eye on him.
As expected, he really noticed something wrong, and William asked someone to investigate Cora.
That was why Carter reported to Byron immediately after learning about it.
Then he asked again,
“Do you need someone to intercept what he investigated?”
“Just keep an eye on him first, don’t act rashly.”
After Byron said these words, he ended the call.
He smoked a cigarette on the balcony, and until the cigarette burned out, he still couldn’t figure out why
William, who was old and always strict, suddenly took aim at Cora.
When he stubbed out his cigarette butt and entered the room, Cora was already washing her face in the bathroom.
“Don’t you want to sleep more?”
“No, it’s time to go to work.”
Cora glared at Byron through the mirror, but in his eyes, she looked like she was pouting because of his bad behavior last night.
“There’s a question you haven’t answered for me.”
Byron’s sudden seriousness made Cora unconsciously turn to face him.
Taking advantage of Cora’s turning around, Byron stepped to her a little closer, imprisoned her between his hug and the sink, and asked condescendingly,
“Why did Mr. William Yoris look for you that day?”
From Byron’s point of view, the reason William investigated Cora was probably the same as the reason he found her at Jane’s birthday party that day.
This question caused them to break up badly before, and Cora obviously didn’t like to be mentioned again, so her eyes turned cold immediately.
Byron didn’t know whether it was because he helped her this time or for other reasons. She didn’t confront him head-on like last time. Instead, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and said with an inscrutable expression,
“This part can’t be told in detail…”
“Why?”
Byron narrowed his sharp eyes again.
He didn’t think William would have ulterior motives for looking for Cora.
But the fact that Cora was so resistant to mentioning William every time made him feel something was wrong.
Cora hooked his neck, tiptoeing, and pressed her red lips to him.
She didn’t speak out again until she was about to touch him.
“I can’t go into details because those costs you something else!”
Byron’s face darkened again on the spot.
Because according to Cora’s meaning, all their happiness last night was his reward for meeting her mother as a boyfriend.
As for explaining why William looked for her in detail, he had to give Cora an offer that would tempt her heart.
But in his heart, he didn’t like to use money every time to be qualified to stay the night with Cora.
That would make him feel that one day he would lose the money and be thus unable to keep her.
Therefore, in the end, Byron didn’t make an offer to Cora and asked her to tell him why William was looking for her, but requested Carter to intercept what William’s people had investigated.
But also because of this, Byron didn’t see Cora again in the next few days, and the two seemed to have lost contact.
And during such a difficult time, the day of Flora’s surgery also quietly approached.
“Cora, Mrs. Flora Lane will be fine for sure. Matt has performed this kind of surgery many times, almost none of which were unsuccessful.”
When Cora first arrived at the hospital, Sally was already in Flora’s ward, and then there was a series of consolations.
Although Sally was so calmly comforting Cora right now, she had been praying in the church yesterday.
She prayed to every god in the West and only hoped that the operation would end smoothly and that
Flora would recover as soon as possible.
Just because she knew that Cora’s mental state was actually at a critical point, and if Flora didn’t manage to get through the surgery, Cora might not be able to hold back anymore.
“I know. You can go to work without worry. I will tell you what happens later.”
Cora tried to comfort Sally, who couldn’t help cursing.
“Usually, I can take a day off, but I just can’t today. These people really have no conscience!”
“The emergency room needs a lot of people. If the two of us are off on the same day, it will be too busy there.”
Cora talked and talked and finally convinced Sally to go to work.
After She left, Flora kept looking at the door of the ward.
