Chapter 50

Chapter 50 How Do You Feel?

Cora woke up with a cold.

But it was not surprising. She had been exposed to the cold wind all afternoon yesterday and had made out with Byron for too long. Her body was on the point of breaking down.

She rolled over and got out of bed. Stifling the dizziness in her head, she planned to go to a nearby pharmacy to buy medicine.

She had no one to rely on and had been forced to learn to care for herself.

As for Byron, she never thought he would stay and take care of her and didn’t dare to expect him to do so.

Unexpectedly, the bedroom door was pushed open as soon as she got out of bed.

“Are you awake?” Byron walked in under her astonished gaze and went to her and took her temperature.

“The fever has come down. Drink some oatmeal before taking the medicine.”

He was tall. Standing in front of Cora, he almost blocked all the light.

Cora looked at his slightly tensed profile under the half-dark light, feeling a little dazed.

“Why haven’t you left yet? Don’t you have to go to work?”

“I’m working from home today.”

Cora wanted to ask if it was because she had a cold.

But on second thought, she denied her idea.

Enter title...

Cora knew how much Byron valued her.

Even if he had some affection for her, she didn’t think Byron, who was always proud, would leave his work behind just because she caught a cold.

Maybe it was because Cora remained silent for a long time. Byron felt a little awkward. He suddenly asked, “What about you? Aren’t you going to the hospital today?”

His gaze was fixed on her little face as he asked as if he wanted to get some information from her face.

But Cora only said, “It’s my day off.”

Apart from slightly furrowed eyebrows, she seemed to have no other expression.

“Are you sure?”

When Cora looked up at Byron again, she was sure she should have known what had happened in the hospital yesterday.

It made sense. He was Eason’s uncle, so this kind of thing naturally reached his ears quickly.

But he asked the question knowingly, making Cora feel angry. So she provoked him.

“How do you feel after knowing I beat your nephew’s fiancée?”

To Cora’s surprise, Byron answered her seriously, “Not bad. But I don’t advocate fighting to solve it.”

Cora’s lips twitched visibly. “Is Eason your nephew?”

“Drink oatmeal, take the medicine, and then sleep.” Cora didn’t know if Byron was too lazy to respond to her or what, but he walked downstairs after finishing speaking.

Cora was confused but followed him downstairs.

Then she saw a bowl of oatmeal on the low table in her small living room, and the logo of a well-known hotel was printed on the porcelain.

But what surprised her even more was that Byron was having a video conference on her couch with a laptop. And there were a lot of documents piled up beside him.

He seemed very busy, so Cora didn’t bother him. After eating the oatmeal and taking the medicine, she picked up the phone and saw an unread message from Sally.

[Give me a video call when you wake up!]

Cora hesitated for a moment but decided to make a video call to Sally to report her safety.

Sally must have known what happened yesterday. But it was not easy for her to endure it until now.

As soon as the video call was connected, Sally gritted her teeth and questioned, “Cora, how could you do this? Why didn’t you tell me first when such a big thing happened? Did you treat me as a friend?”

Sally was in the andrology department with the patients yesterday. She didn’t know the news until she returned to the office at nine o’clock in the evening.

“I just don’t want to involve you. This is obviously a trap.”

“But if the hospital suspends you and issues a notice of criticism, your rotation assessment will be over. What will you do in the future?” Sally’s expression was very bad. She stayed up all night, thinking about Cora’s matter.

Others didn’t know Cora’s obsession with being a doctor, but Sally did.

When they were in the same dormitory back then, she saw with her own eyes how Cora devoted herself to studying medicine tirelessly and even squeezed time out of her busy schedule to attend all the subjects arranged by her mother.

“There will be a way,” Cora said.

“What way? I heard that an announcement will come out at noon tomorrow.”

In other words, Cora must come up with a countermeasure before noon tomorrow.

Looking at the blue sky, Cora sniffed. “I’m unsure whether it will work, but you must not make trouble. I know you are not afraid of trouble. But the less trouble, the better.”

“Mr. Gray said the same thing yesterday. He also said the more I trouble Mia, the worse your situation will be.”

If Erik hadn’t persuaded Sally for so long yesterday, she would have rushed to Mia’s hospital bed and beaten her to kneel.

After persuading her, Erik was still worried she would still cause trouble. So he gave Sally a day off.

The two chatted for a while. Sally suddenly asked Cora mysteriously, “Did Mr. Pope spend the night at your place yesterday?”
