Chapter 41 Accept Him?
In the emergency room, when Cora was writing a test list for an elderly patient
who accidentally fell, Sally came over.
“Cora, why did you leave the hospital so early yesterday? I couldn’t find you
when I came back from the andrology department. I thought you went to the
cardiac surgery department.”
It was only after sending a message to Cora that Sally found out she had left the
hospital.
After writing the test list, Cora handed it to the patient’s family members and told
them some precautions when they took the elderly to the examination. Then she
told Sally about yesterday’s dinner.
“What does Jane think you are? Is it so great that the hospital belongs to her
family? I would say the director of the Ministry of Health is my father!”
What a good Sally’s first impression of Jane was before, how disgusting it was
now.
After Sally cursed for a while, she said, “I’ll go and deal with her. If something
happens, I’ll take the blame.”
Enter title…
Seeing that Sally was really trying to argue with Jane, Cora quickly grabbed her
and said, “Forget it. The less trouble, the better. We can just stay away from her
when we see her.”
The key point was that Jane was responsible for their rotating a*sessment. If
they messed around now, they might be unable to pa*s the a*sessment.
Moreover, Jane targeted Cora because of Mia. Now that Jane had successfully
messed with her, this matter should be over, and any more complications were
unnecessary.
“Was Mr. Pope very angry that you went to that dinner party yesterday?” Sally
seemed to accept Cora’s persuasion but suddenly asked this question.
Sally changed the topic so quickly. Cora couldn’t keep up with her, looking
confused. “Why was he angry?”
She and Carter didn’t communicate much at all yesterday. So she didn’t know
why Sally asked that.
“Then why did he make you like that?”
Sally suddenly reached out and pulled Cora’s collar away. She saw that Cora’s
snow-white neck was covered with a layer of concealer, but it couldn’t hide the
purple and red marks.
Cora realized what Sally was talking about and quickly pulled back the collar.
But Sally didn’t let her go. “There are already so many marks at the place where
the clothes can’t cover it. The place covered by the clothes is probably even
worse. You said he wasn’t angry?”
Cora felt her face burning hot, and even her ears seemed to start to burn.
But she had to admit that, as Sally said, the places tightly wrapped in clothes
were worse because someone was crazy on the bed last night.
But Cora wasn’t sure whether he was angry.
When she was at a loss, Sally’s voice came again.
“Cora, I think you can develop a romantic relationship with Mr. Pope.”
Cora had been used to being misunderstood. Now, whenever Sally mentioned
Carter, she would automatically think of Byron.
Thinking of Byron, Cora shook her head and said, “We… will never work.”
So, what if she accepted Byron in her heart?
She didn’t think Byron would accept her.
Not to mention that she was his nephew’s ex-girlfriend. She wasn’t right for him
just because of the Lane family’s situation.
Sally said, “Why? You’re both single. Anything is possible.
“And whenever you were in trouble, he would ask Mr. Hansen to help you. He
cares about you very much.
“The most touching thing in the world is never an overly gross confession but an
unexpected protection. On this point, he is one thousand times better than
Eason.”
Sally’s last words made Cora’s heart flutter again.
So, when Byron sent her a WhatsApp message, saying he would come to her
place in the evening, Cora hesitated momentarily and replied: [Okay.]
