Chapter 330 Powerless
“Why? I’ve already started discussing marriage with him, so why should I break up with him?” Although Cora was puzzled,
she didn’t break away from Flora’s hand, fearing to agitate
her again.
Flora sat up from the hospital bed and grabbed Cora’s
shoulders, shaking her hard. “You snatched him from
someone else. How bold of you to talk about marriage with
him! If I knew you would do such a shameless thing, I would have strangled you to death when you were born!”
“I didn’t snatch him from someone else, and he never
belonged to anyone either.”
Cora tried to explain to Flora, but Flora seemed to be unable
to listen as she was still screaming at the top of her lungs. “You still want to lie to me at this point? I have repeatedly emphasized to you since you were a child that you can’t touch the things that don’t belong to you. Why are you still resorting to such lowly behavior as stealing other people’s things?
“Look at yourself. You’ve been slapped in the face, right? You deserve it! Who told you to be so cheap that you resort to stealing other people’s things? You deserve that slap!
Chapter 330 Powerless
“If it were me, I would definitely go beyond just slapping you. You scoundrel, why wasn’t it you who died at that time?”
Cora felt the pain on her cheek couldn’t compare to even the slightest bit of what she was suffering in her heart right now.
This was her mother. It was even more disheartening that she
didn’t show any concern.
But why did she say that Cora deserved that kind of
treatment? And why did she say those other vicious words?
Cora’s heart nearly went cold.
“Who told you this? Was it Dr. Yoris?”
Some time ago, Jane and Flora got very close, so it was hard for Cora not to suspect Jane.
But Flora’s movements stiffened momentarily before she said,
“It wasn’t her.”
“Not her? Then who was it?” Once Cora knew who it was, she wanted to tear that person apart.
Flora said, “There were a lot of rumors about it out there. How long do you think you can keep it from me?”
Then Flora added angrily, “If you still want me as a mother,
Chapter 330 Powerless
you must break up with him now.“”
Sometimes Cora really thought it would be better if she didn’t have this kind of mother, and one of the occasions was when
Flora cursed her like that just now.
But she no longer had a father, and she felt that such thoughts were too heartless, so she could only swallow up all the bitterness in her heart to explain, “Mom, he’s really not engaged with Dr. Yoris. It’s merely people’s assumptions.”
“I don’t care about that. If you don’t break up with him, never
call me your mom again, and don’t come to see me anymore!”
The more Flora talked, the more agitated she became that
she even pushed Cora out of the ward.
Her strength when bursting out in anger was not small, and Cora was no match for her at all that it didn’t take long for her to be pushed out of the ward and locked outside the door.
At that moment, Cora especially felt powerless.
It was not easy for her to finally get closer to Byron and get the chance to spend the rest of her life with him.
If the people out there couldn’t stand her getting along with Byron, she wouldn’t care at all.
Chapter 330 Powerless
But why was even her own mother like this?
When Cora returned home that night, she did not tell Byron about those terrible things.
But Byron had noticed the red mark on her face, even though she had treated it with ice cubes until there was only a faded red mark left. If one didn’t look at it carefully, they wouldn’t be
able to notice it.
“How did you get this?”
He grasped her chin, studying the red mark with his clear eyes, and his handsome eyebrows furrowed deeply.
The people he sent out would only stand guard around where Cora was and would only report when they noticed something wrong with her route, or if someone deliberately approached her.
But he didn’t receive such relevant reports today, so why did her face turn out like that?
Cora said, “My mother was a bit unstable in the afternoon, so
I calmed her down.”
Cora didn’t bother to mention Sara. After all, Cora would be the one to enact her own revenge.
Chapter 330 Powerless
Byron lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy these days that I didn’t have time to visit her in the hospital.”
Sunda Group’s branch office was about to be established in
New York soon, so he was basically running back and forth between New York and Kinton.
And thus, he couldn’t visit Flora almost every lunch break as he did some time ago.
“I’ll visit her in the hospital once I’m done with all this work. By the way, her second surgery should be in a few days, right?”
Byron never thought Flora’s emotional disturbance would have anything to do with him. He just assumed he was too busy these days that he couldn’t help Cora share the responsibility to look after Flora, so he hugged Cora with guilt in his heart.
Cora also took this opportunity to bury her face in his chest, hiding the helplessness and sadness that shouldn’t be on her face, before saying in a muffled voice, “It will be in a few more days. It’s fine. You can do your work. I’ll do my best to accompany her.”
Truthfully, she was very afraid that Byron would see Flora’s crazy appearance and decided to stay away from her because of it.
Chapter 330 Powerless
That was why she didn’t dare to tell Byron despite knowing that Flora would undergo the second surgery the next day.
Seeing that Byron still wanted to say something else, she simply stood on tiptoe and sealed his lips.
And her burning enthusiasm was something that Byron couldn’t resist.
Therefore, the beautiful night had officially entered its prelude…
