Chapter 118 Take Me to the Hospital
“I… I’m sorry.” Although it would be embarra*sing to admit that she was wrong in
front of Cora, Lydia really had no choice.
Recently, the Patton family collaborated with the Hansen family on a project that
had been stuck with Byron. So, if she angered him at that moment, there was a
high possibility that the project would be at risk of falling through.
Eason couldn’t speak up to defend Lydia either because he was the one leading
the project and needed to deliver results to impress other members of the Patton
family.
As for Tyler, Jane, Sally, and Carter, they knew it was best not to meddle in
other’s affairs.
Cora felt a bit puzzled. She hadn’t expected Byron to notice her injury, let alone
get angry at Lydia because of it.
However, Byron disregarded Lydia’s apology and only glanced at Cora, saying,
“Since your leg is injured, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Cora had several wounds on her leg, with one seriously hurt, but she didn’t feel
too much pain.
Enter title…
As Byron mentioned, the pain seemed to amplify several times instantly.
Because of that, she accepted Byron’s proposal.
Just like that, Byron and Cora left together, followed by Carter.
It wasn’t until the three of them disappeared from the birthday banquet that Sally
murmured, “I’m injured too. Why didn’t Mr. Hansen offer to take me to the
hospital?”
As soon as she said that, the expressions of the other people present turned
somewhat unpleasant.
Especially Jane and Eason.
Sally did intend to strike at Eason with her words. While she attacked Jane
incidentally, given that Jane had previously convinced Cora to attend that kind of
social gathering for Mia’s sake.
But soon, Sally found that Tyler’s complexion was not much better.
In fact, Tyler also wanted to send Cora to the hospital just now, but Byron took
the first step, and Cora followed him and left without even refusing.
That made Tyler wonder if there was something unknown between Cora and
Byron.
When Sally saw Tyler’s gloomy expression, she quickly changed her tone.
“Perhaps it’s because the Patton family feels guilty towards Cora, making Mr.
Hansen, as her uncle, feel embarra*sed. That’s why he is taking extra care of
her. The generosity and demeanor of important figures are truly beyond us
ordinary people throughout our entire lives!”
No matter what, in Sally’s eyes, Tyler was one of the few good suitors around
Cora at the moment.
So, even if Cora had no intention of pursuing a relationship with Tyler, Sally didn’t
want this good opportunity to be missed.
However, how much Tyler took to heart Sally’s words and how much others were
relieved by them remained unknown.
Cora had been sent to a nearby hospital by Byron.
After the doctor finished examining, he said, “These wounds are not deep, but
some gla*s shards are still inside. I need to clean it up for you. It may be very
painful.”
“It’s okay. I can hold back.”
Although Cora said so, the doctor couldn’t help teasing her when he saw her
delicate appearance, saying, “Even if you can’t help it, you can grab your
husband.”
Cora was stunned for a moment and quickly explained, “He is not my husband.”
“If he is not your husband, is he your boyfriend?” The doctor then added, “He
looks more nervous than you. A good-looking guy who knows how to take care of
you like this. You should seize the opportunity to make things official with him.”
Cora opened her mouth, wanting to clarify on behalf of Byron. She felt that he
probably wouldn’t want people to misunderstand their relationship or think that he
was worried about her.
Before she could make a sound, Byron stretched out his long arms. “Grab it.”
Cora was speechless.
In the end, she didn’t explain anymore, because the doctor had already started to
clean up the debris in the wound.
That process was really painful.
So, on their way back, Byron’s arm was scratched with several red marks.
Byron looked at the red marks on his arm with a casual expression. “What will
others think of what we just did when they saw these?”
