Before Osborn woke up, Cora didn’t dare to let her guard
down.

She only slept for a couple of hours before going to the intensive care unit to check on Osborn’s condition, making it difficult for Jane to find an opportunity to frame her.
Luckily, Osborn woke up the next morning and was transferred back to a regular ward.
With that, Cora finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly
went home to get some rest.
However, Osborn kept asking about her. “Byron, where is Dr. Lane?” He inquired.
“She went home to sleep. She operated on you for eleven hours yesterday, and you were still unconscious while she tirelessly watched over you in the intensive care unit. Even
someone as strong as her couldn’t bear it,” Byron explained.
At the mention of Cora, Byron seemed much gentler, though
he tried not to show it too much.
Osborn noticed this, but he remained composed. “When Dr.

Lane comes to work, bring her something nice and let her take good care of herself.”
Byron agreed, and that same evening, he brought a large pile of supplements to Cora’s apartment.
Just as Cora stepped out of the shower, she saw him carrying bags of supplements into the room.
“What’s all this?” She asked.
“Supplements,” Byron replied, glancing at Cora in her silk nightgown and noticing the water droplets on her collarbone, which made him feel slightly turned on.
“My dad wanted me to bring them to you.”
“I’m not that fragile. You can take them back.”
She didn’t operate on Osborn in hopes of receiving material rewards from the Hansen family.
Cora was too busy refusing Byron’s offers to notice the
desirous look in his eyes, as if he had locked onto his prey. And so, without warning, Byron suddenly lifted her off the ground.
“What are you doing?” Her legs were suddenly dangling in
the air, and she instinctively held onto Byron’s neck, feeling
uneasy.

But Byron thought she had agreed what he was going to do, so he directly carried her toward the bedroom upstairs. “Let me check on you.”
“Check on what?” Cora was a little confused.
“I want to know if you’re really not fragile!”
Cora realized what he meant and blushed. “Be gentle, Mr.
Hansen.”
“I try to…”
However, since they hadn’t slept together since they separated, this night was meant to be extremely pa*sionate.
In the following month, Osborn made good progress in his
recovery. He seemed much healthier, and his medical test results were almost identical to those of a healthy person.
Lydia, wanting to play the role of a filial daughter, had been taking care of Osborn at the hospital.
As for the rumors about Byron being overshadowed by his brothers in terms of power, they only grew more widespread.
Wherever Byron went, he could almost always hear someone mocking him.

Cora and Byron encountered such situations a few times during their dates.

As a result, Cora became concerned that these mockeries
might affect Byron’s mood. To protect him from unnecessary negativity and criticism, she decided to date him at home instead of hanging out.
Even for meals, Cora planned to cook at home.
However, she didn’t manage to cook anything almost ended up burning the kitchen.
Unable to stand by and watch, Byron went to cook by himself.
Even when standing in the kitchen, he still looked attractive and eye–catching.
But except for his attractiveness, he also seemed less aloof while adapting to this ordinary life.
Cora once suspected that Byron’s cooking must not be as
pleasant as his appearance.
To Cora’s surprise, the two dishes and soup that Byron presented were visually appealing and delicious.
“Wow, I didn’t expect you could actually cook. If things don’t

work out for you in the future, why not find a job as a chef?” She teased.
Seeing that Byron only gave her a brief glance before starting to eat, Cora quickly corrected herself. “If you don’t want to be a chef, being a model or a celebrity wouldn’t be bad either. You can earn a fortune by relying on your appearance.”
Suddenly, Byron glanced at her and asked, “What’s with the
concern? Are you afraid that I’ll sit around and waste all your
money?”
