Chapter 332 Her Compromise
Cora immediately ignored everything, followed that colleague to the hospital’s rooftop, and saw Flora sitting on the edge.
The torments from the burns on Flora’s body lately had seemingly turned her into skin and bones, and the hospital gown on her body was blown wildly by the wind at the rooftop.
Matt and the other medical staff in the burns unit were still trying to persuade her. “Mrs. Flora Lane, will you please come down? Everything is negotiable. If you don’t want to undergo the surgery, then we won’t force you. If you don’t want to take medicine, we can reduce it as appropriate!
“Mrs. Flora Lane, please think about Cora. She has worked so hard for you!”
But Flora didn’t seem to listen to anything and remained still.
Cora looked at that scene and felt her heart was about to break.
“Mom, come down quickly, okay? We can discuss everything. Don’t do stupid things, okay?”
Cora slowly approached the edge of the rooftop step by step, and she heard her own voice trembling in the strong wind.
But upon hearing Cora’s voice, Flora suddenly became agitated.

She stood up and yelled at Cora, “Don’t come here! I’ve told you not to call me your mom if you don’t break up with him! Me being dead or alive has nothing to do with you either!”
“I’ll listen to you. I’ll listen to everything you say,” Cora said, and she tried to step forward.
Seeing that Cora wanted to get close to her, Flora became more agitated.
“Don’t listen to my words! Don’t you want to be with him?
Then go! I can guarantee you that as long as you register your marriage with him, you can pick up my dead body the next day!”
Due to her gestures, there was a moment when Flora almost fell off the edge of the rooftop.
At that moment, Cora felt that her heart was about to stop, and she instantly recalled the scene when Flora was rescued out of the fire, then lying motionless on the stretcher, not knowing whether she was dead or alive…
That was the most desperate moment in Cora’s life. For many nights until now, she would dream of that moment and wake up from the dream crying and screaming at the top of her lungs.
But just now, Flora had seemingly made her experience the darkest moment of her life again.
The intense fear made her ignore her own safety as she rushed forward and dragged Flora back, holding her tightly in her arms.

But Flora’s–resistance was still extremely strong.
“Don’t touch me! You make me sick. Go away!
“If you don’t break up with him, you have to get away from me. Even breathing the same air with you makes me sick!”
She pushed Cora desperately, even saying all kinds of vicious words to Cora.
But Cora didn’t dare to fight her as before, so she could only cry heartbreakingly and begged her, “Mom, stop this. I will break up with him, so please don’t scare me like this again.”
It was also after hearing this that Flora’s expression changed significantly.
“Really?”
“Really. I’ll break up with him.”
Flora looked at Cora coldly. “Don’t lie to me. You know that I can really do anything now.”
“I’m not lying to you.”
Cora cried hoarsely, but she didn’t know whether it was because of the lingering fear in her heart, or the despair of breaking up with Byron.
Right now, she really can’t afford to think about all that.

Her father had completely left her, and she wouldn’t be able to endure the pain if she had to lose her mother, too.
Especially if her mother was gone because of her, she probably would never forgive herself in this life.
And with Cora’s promise, Flora’s mood relaxed a lot, and she was being quite cooperative to be assisted by the medical staff to walk down the rooftop…
Today’s incident of Flora almost jumping off the building wasn’t considered a serious matter, but it wasn’t a simple matter either, and the people in the whole building were watching.
Jane was among these people.
Looking at Flora’s trembling figure assisted by the staff, a smile appeared on Jane’s lips, and the expression on her face was indecipherable…
