Chapter 252 To Give or Take
In Byron’s office, Carter brought a stack of documents that needed to be signed as usual.
“Go to the First Hospital at noon?”
While waiting for Byron’s signature, Carter saw a box of snacks on his desk.
He had been by Byron’s side for such a long time. Basically, all he saw were other people sending him various gifts to please him, and he rarely saw him take the initiative to give gifts.
Cora and her mother were the exception.
“Yes.” Byron did not hide it and instructed Carter, “Order a
batch of sugar–free pastries from the hotel.”
Flora’s blood sugar was a little high, she shouldn’t overeat
sweets, but she liked to have these little things.
So recently, Byron ordered some sugar–free pastries from the
hotel and sent them to her.
Every time Flora received these pastries, she was always full
of praise and always boasted about him with her ward
Chapter 252 To Give or Take
roommate.
And Byron discovered that as he worked hard to create a sense of presence in front of these people, the way Cora looked at him gradually changed.
He believed it would not be long before she returned to him.
After receiving instruction, Carter responded by asking, “Are
you sure it takes but not give?”
Carter didn’t mention any names or objects, but the mutual
understanding they had developed over the years made
Byron immediately know he was referring to Cora.
“I just can’t stand it for her being with others.” That was
Byron’s answer.
When they broke up the previous time, he made up his mind
that from then on, whoever marring whomever was none of
his concern.

But when he saw her with Lucas, he felt something went wrong with everything.
Especially thinking that Lucas would see the frail feminine side
of her that he had seen before, he wished he could destroy
the whole world.

So he changed his mind, which even he himself couldn’t
believe.
“As long as you thought it through, but Mark should have gotten wind of it.”
Carter asked the most difficult question with one push–up of his eyeglass frame.
Unsurprisingly, Byron’s expression instantly became more serious, and even his voice became slightly stern. “Send a few more people around her, and find someone to watch over
Mrs. Flora Lane.”
That time he went with Cora to Moonware Games’s team building gathering, and the fact that he fervently supported Cora at the Calligraphy Association’s event created quite a
stir, and Mark must have heard the news.
“You need to move faster in Kinton.” At first glance, Byron’s expression was the same as usual, but when Carter looked carefully, he could find a thin layer of hostility.
Since Byron couldn’t hide from what was coming, all he could
do was to roll with the punches.
After lunch, Byron took the box of snacks to visit Flora.
Chose this time for a visit because Cora would be there to
Chapter 252 To Give or Take
accompany Flora at about the same time, and the two could
meet each other.
It was the same today. Cora was peeling an apple for Flora in
her ward when he arrived.
“Byron, it’s good that you come. You don’t need to bring me
something every time.” Flora greeted him very warmly.
“They don’t cost much. I thought you would like them, so I
brought them here. Today is a pineapple shortcake. Try and
see if you like it.”
Flora ate one. “It’s delicious, full of fruity flavor.”
When the two were chatting about snacks, Cora glanced at
Byron and then continued to calmly peel the apple for Flora.
After peeling the apple for Flora, she peeled another one and
handed it to him.

Byron’s expression showed a little surprise.

Cora had been ignoring him recently, and today she suddenly peeled an apple for him. Was she planning to start again?
He took the apple and didn’t eat it. He just looked at Cora with
a half–smile, which turned her face red hot.

“If you don’t want to eat it, give it back to me.”
“Eat. Why wouldn’t I?”
In front of Cora, he took a bite of the apple and chewed it crunchy.
And he fixed his eyes on Cora all this time. The slightly scorching gaze made Cora wonder if he thought that apple was her…
But just as the two of them were interacting with each other, Byron’s cell phone rang suddenly.
After he looked at the caller ID, he frowned slightly.
For some reason, his expression gave Cora an inexplicable bad feeling…
