Chapter 200 Make a Trade-off
“To what extent?”
“He already sent people to follow Miss Lane.”
When Carter said so, Byron parked the car on the side of the road, smoked a cigarette irritably, and did not respond to
Carter for a long time.
If it weren’t for the sound of vehicles passing by from the phone, Carter would think the phone had been hung up.
Byron didn’t answer Carter for a long time, so Carter couldn’t help reminding him, “Mr. Hansen, it’s time to make a
trade-off.”
“Well, I see…”
The man was smoking a cigarette, watching the smoke blown away by the cold wind, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
On the first day of the Christmas holiday, Cora went to the hospital to visit Flora.
At this time, the wards of many departments were empty because most people had gone home.

Because of Matt’s hand injury, Flora’s second skin grafting operation had not yet been performed.
When Cora opened the door and walked in, Flora was knitting something.
“Mom, merry Christmas.” Cora put the fruit she had brought on the table and sat beside Flora. “What are you doing?”
“I want to make a scarf,” Flora said.
“Is it for me?” Cora looked at the pattern Flora was knitting, a cartoon picture that young girls recently liked. Surprise flashed in her eyes.
She had never been wearing a scarf in front of Flora, but Flora
didn’t like cartoon pictures either.
So she thought that Flora made it for her.
She thought Flora must want to please her because Jane
annoyed her that day!
The more Cora thought about it, the happier she felt because
this was the first time she would receive something made by
her mother, and it felt like the relationship between her and
her mother had been completely restored.

Cora kept looking at the cartoon patterns made by Flora and didn’t pay attention to Flora’s unnatural expression.
The more Cora looked at it, the more delighted she was. She
even reached out to touch the pattern.
Although Flora was not so skillful, in Cora’s eyes, the pattern was really beautiful.
But as soon as she touched the pattern, Flora slapped her
hands. “Your hands are dirty. Don’t touch it.”
“Why? Anyway, it will be mine finally!”
But Flora didn’t respond. Cora didn’t pay much attention.
“Where’s Byron? Didn’t you come with him?” Flora quickly packed everything up as if she was afraid that Cora would pollute the scarf.
“He went home today.” When Cora mentioned him, she couldn’t help but think of the crazy night, and her face blushed quietly.
“He didn’t come with you because of this?” Flora complained.
Later, Cora changed the topic and diverted her attention.
But when Cora was about to return, Flora unconsciously

mentioned Byron again.
“Next time you come over, bring Byron with you. You guys should consider getting married. I’ll ask him for you when he plans to get married.”
After last night, Cora indeed wanted more.
Besides, she felt Byron was planning a future with her because he wanted to have a baby with her.
So after she left the hospital, she sent a message to Byron: [Can you accompany me to see my mother again?]
Just let Flora ask him the question that she dared not ask.
If he really wanted to marry her, that would be fine.
But if he didn’t want to, she could also say it was Flora’s idea,
right?
In short, she would not lose anything if she tried.
Cora was pleased with herself, but she didn’t expect Byron didn’t reply to her as if she didn’t send it.
