Chapter 470 Act High and Mighty

"I don't believe it!" Cora was firm in her stance.

She couldn't believe their intense love from four years ago could have vanished into thin air.

"I'll ask him myself. No need for you to act all high and mighty here," she retorted harshly before storming out of the car, carrying her bag.

Watching Cora's retreating figure, Elena felt irritated and pounded the steering wheel.

Back in her apartment, Cora noticed a message on her phone.

[Cora, how did your talk with Byron go?]

It was from Gabe, who was worried that Cora and Byron wouldn't be able to come to an agreement and also didn't want to disturb their reunion.

So, he chose to wait patiently for a text message instead of making a call.

Cora thought for a moment and replied: [It didn't work out.]

She even felt angry enough to consider returning to Leucrest Town.

However, as she opened her wardrobe and saw the traces of Byron's past life that she hadn't tidied up yet, she decided against it.

Then she closed the wardrobe.

[I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. I promised to pursue him this time...]

She scolded herself, feeling remorseful.

Since she had been looking forward to his return, how could she give up so easily just because of a minor setback?

After much contemplation, she called Jerry.

"I might need to stay here for a few more days. If you're busy, just let Lucy take care of Martin." "It's alright. I don't have to be at the company every day. It's rare that you're willing to let my godson and me have fun alone, so of course, we'll make the most of it!" Jerry chuckled, seemingly carefree.

He asked Cora, "Is your patient so intractable that he requires you so many days?"

"Yes, it's quite challenging.”

The difficult part was not the patient but rather the patient's family member, who resisted her, and she wasn't sure if he was willing to accept her.

But Jerry didn't seem to detect this, asking with concern, "Do you need any help?"

"Can you study medicine so quickly?" Cora teased.

He replied, "I don't want to study those boring things. What I meant was that I could have my grandfather come and help."

"No need to bother him. I can handle it."

Cora was about to say something else when Martin approached.

The topic of the patient was temporarily put on hold as they switched to a video call.

"Martin, do you miss me?" Cora asked.

Martin nodded silently.

Looking at Martin's face, which strongly resembled Byron's, Cora couldn't help but feel emotional. She had no regrets about keeping this child, even if Byron no longer existed.

Every time she saw her child, all her exhaustion would vanish.

So, she told herself to keep trying for Martin's sake.

In the evening, Cora arrived at the villa where she had a passionate night with Byron yesterday. The house was completely dark, and despite pressing the doorbell several times, no one answered. It seemed that Byron was out.

Cora had thought about going to other places to find him, but she didn't know his schedule.

Even when she asked Carter, he refused to tell her.

Carter was probably still resentful of her past actions, and she didn't want to force him to forgive her.

Therefore, Cora had no choice but to wait at the villa.

Meanwhile, Carter picked up Byron from the hotel. "Mr. Hansen, where do you want to go next?" Byron had drunk quite a bit tonight and seemed lost. "Where can I go?"

It wasn't a rhetorical question. He was genuinely uncertain about where to go.

"Miss Lane asked about your schedule earlier, but without your permission, I didn't tell her anything.”

Carter held the steering wheel but secretly observed Byron's expression in the rearview mirror. Luckily, there was no obvious change in his expression. "Yeah, you don't need to tell her. She's unrelated to me now."

Then Carter drove the intoxicated man back to his villa.

However, as soon as the car stopped, they saw a woman squatting at the villa's entrance...
