“Dr. Lane? Cora Lane?”
Evan also asked, “Did she say that?”
That probing question made Jane even more convinced that Evan would be furious upon learning that someone dared to impersonate him so shamelessly. She expected him to react strongly in the following moments.
And with Evan’s influence in the medical field, this matter would not be easily overlooked or dismissed.
Maybe in the future, Cora might face backlash from the
medical community and could be blacklisted.
In her mind, Jane felt quite pleased with herself, thinking that she effortlessly undermined Cora and caused her to lose her only means of survival.
“Yes, that’s exactly what Dr. Lane said. Can you believe it? Nowadays, even doctors are so eager for quick success and instant benefits that they would even steal others‘ credit…”

She was almost mocking Cora, trying to provoke Evan’s anger.
Upon hearing the half–spoken words, Evan interrupted and said, “She said it herself. That’s enough. I was worried that
some troublemakers deliberately spread the news to mess
with her.”
After hearing this statement, Jane was almost confused. “So
you mean to say that the surgery was really performed by Dr.
Lane?”
“Yes, that young girl has extraordinary talent. From the time she started learning by my side, she has been my top assistant. Over the years, she has even been able to guide me when I was mentally fatigued. So, during that surgery, I believed she could handle it well, and I let her take charge.
“I had thought about announcing that she performed the surgery, but that young girl insisted against it. She was afraid
that media interviews and talk shows would interfere with her
studies. Now, she has spoken up herself, and I believe I will soon be able to enjoy a leisurely retirement, indulging in the pleasure of appreciating flowers and taking strolls.”
After Evan’s words, Jane felt her brain buzzing non–stop.
The valve replacement that caused a sensation in the medical world was actually performed by Cora.

She thought she would expose Cora’s ugly truth of impersonating someone else in front of Byron, but unexpectedly, it turned out she put Cora in the limelight…
Now, almost all members of the Hansen family looked at Cora with a touch of expectation.
Even Lydia, who was almost on the same side with her just a moment ago, smiled slightly at Cora.
Not to mention Byron.
There was even more intensity and anticipation in those eyes that had been gazing affectionately at Cora since earlier.
Even though the eyes of members of the Hansen family were still on her, they looked at her with a complicated expression.
The more she thought about it, the more Jane realized that her actions just now, trying to discredit Cora, were like painting herself into a corner and making a fool of herself.
She really wanted to end the call as soon as possible and stay away from that embarrassing situation.
Unexpectedly, Evan continued saying, “By the way, is Cora with you? Can I talk to her?”
Listening to Evan’s affectionate address for Cora, Jane felt

that her act of showing off that she and Evan met yesterday in front of Cora just now was extremely ridiculous.
She wanted to reject Evan, but Cora had already spoken up, “Professor Smith?”
“Cora, once you’ve admitted to the surgery, there’s no turning back. I really want to start enjoying my retirement now.”
“Understood, I won’t regret it.”
“Sure, I’ll submit the paper you asked me to write last night, and I’ll remember to do it. I want to nominate you for awards.”
“Got it, got it.”
Previously, Evan’s voice sounded quite serious, but as soon as he talked to Cora, he turned into a doting old man who loved to nag.
The key was that Cora’s response was still so perfunctory. So, their relationship was definitely more intimate than what Jane, who had only met Evan a few times, could fathom.
“When I return from Kinton, I’ll bring you some local specialties.”
After Evan continued to nag for a while, he finally ended the phone call.

After the phone call ended, jane immediately took back her phone and left.
She didn’t want to stay in such an awkward atmosphere any longer.
While Lydia and Eason wanted to approach Cora and say something, Byron immediately stood in front of them, blocking
their way…
