Chapter 185 She Is Not Loved
"Yeah," Cora frowned but still responded.
"Cora, it shouldn''t be like this. I still love you, and I know I was wrong. You shouldn''t punish yourself or
me in such an extreme way," Eason murmured with a hoarse voice, his agony visible. Even his chin
bore ayer of stubble, making him look suddenly much older.
As Cora watched his dejected appearance, a touch of sadness crossed her eyes.
Initially, she harbored a desire for revenge against Eason, but now...
She had developed feelings for Byron, even though she knew it was bound to be futile.
So she felt confused about her own motives. What was she trying to achieve?
However, she knew one thing for sure she didn''t want any further involvement with Eason.
When Eason tried to reach for her hand, Cora withdrew her hand first, leaving him grasping at thin air,
creating an awkward pause.
Eason looked at his empty hand as if realizing that he had missed something important.
Cora didn''t spare him a second nce, just coldly advising, "You''d better visit your mother. It would be
troublesome if she suffers another stroke."
Afterward, she returned to the emergency room to continue her busy work. However, her mind couldn''t
help but rey Lydia''s words.
Did the people from the Hansen family already know about her affair with Byron?
What if they came for her?
Time was relentless. Regardless of one''s worries or serenity, it flowed on unceasingly.
Soon it was the day before Christmas.
Cora packed up her work and headed to the woodcarvingpetition for submission.
As she stepped out of the exhibition hall, she bumped into Jane and Sara.
They were both dressed in luxury custom clothing, looking like sisters, making others envious.
Cora admired their rtionship, as it was precisely the kind of mother-daughter bond she longed for.
However, thinking back to how Flora ignored her due to the bad things she had said about Jane when
she delivered snacks to Flora''s ward this morning, Cora knew she could never have a rtionship with
her mother like theirs.
Jane and Sara seemed to notice her intense gaze and approached her.
"Dr. Lane, are you here to submit your work?"
As Jane greeted her, Cora nodded with a smile. "Yes, Dr. Yoris and Mrs. Sara Yoris are here to submit
the work as well, right?"
"Exactly. We n to go shopping now," Jane said.
"It''s truly enviable. I wish I could have such a good rtionship with my mother too." In reality, Cora
hoped to seek advice from Jane on how to build a better rtionship with her mother.
After all, Jane seemed to get along pretty well with both Sara and Flora.
Unexpectedly, Sara responded arrogantly, "If you were a bit more sensible and didn''t have such
unrealistic expectations, maybe your mother wouldn''t hate you so much."
Sara had heard from Jane about the strained rtionship between Cora and Flora recently.
During their conversation about Sara''s encounter with Cora, Sara also mentioned the past rtionship
between Flora and William. Then, Jane mentioned the affairs between Cora and Byron but found that
Sara already knew about it.
So far, Sara and Jane considered Cora and Flora equally despicable.
However, Jane wouldn''t say such harsh words in front of others, as she knew formidable women were
the ones with firm hearts, not the ones more bark than bite.
Sara was different. She didn''t hide her dislike for someone, so she stared fiercely at Cora.
Cora didn''t expect that her mother''s attitude to her would be someone else''s reason to attack her.
She felt hurt and helpless.
Yet she didn''t want to give Sara and Jane the satisfaction of seeing her suffer. With a smile, she
retorted, "Maybe that''s true. It seems Godpensated for myck of motherly affection with
something else."Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
