Chapter 343 Another City
Flora’s condition was looking good. After resting in the general ward for two days, most of the medical equipment had been removed.
Gabe managed to find some spare time and rushed back to see her. Seeing that she was doing much better, Gabe felt a weight lifted off his heart.
“I wanted to come back on the day of your surgery, but there was an unexpected issue at the factory, so I couldn’t leave.”
Gabe explained to Cora with guilt written all over his face.
“It’s okay, Gabe. Take care of yourself while you’re out there.”
Cora smiled at Gabe, but her eyes showed nothing but concern.
Gabe hadn’t been doing well lately, worse than when he came out of prison. His eye sockets had noticeably sunk, making him seem
worn out.
“Gabe, if it’s about money, take it easy. I only have you and Mom left. We all have to take care of ourselves,” Cora said.
Gabe smiled and moved closer, giving her a hug. “Silly girl, always worrying about others. Haven’t you noticed how much weight you’ve lost recently?”
“I’ve just successfully lost weight,” Cora replied. Gabe had enough things to worry about recently, and Cora didn’t want to burden him further with her messy situation.
“No need to make excuses for me. I know how hard you’ve been working lately. As long as I secure this order, everything will get better
soon,” Gabe reassured her.
That particular order had the potential to change the industry landscape for the Lane Group and improve their current financial
situation.
Later, Gabe took Cora out for a meal and shared the news of the significant order with her, saying, “If things work out this time, why don’t we consider moving to that city?”
Cora’s heart skipped a beat at Gabe’s proposal.
The Hansen family and Byron dominated New York, and occasionally, she would bump into them. It was truly difficult to completely erase that chapter from her heart.
Perhaps, if she moved to another city, those memories and infatuations would gradually fade with time…
So, Cora agreed to Gabe’s suggestion, which further fueled his determination. That same night, he hurriedly took a flight back to the factory.
A week after Gabe left, Flora’s mental state continued to improve.
She wasn’t even as skinny as before.
Tyler, Sally, and other friends who were close to Cora would occasionally visit Flora’s ward to check on her condition.
When they met today, Matt happened to have finished examining Flora and happily announced to everyone, “Mrs. Flora Lane is almost fully recovered. She’ll probably be discharged next week.”
Sally jumped up in excitement, exclaiming, “That’s fantastic, Cora!”
Tyler expressed his joy more directly, saying, “This is such amazing news! I’ll treat everyone to dinner this weekend to celebrate Mrs. Flora Lane’s early discharge.”
“Tyler, there’s no need for you to foot the bill. It should be me.” Cora insisted.
Cora rarely smiled so radiantly, revealing her dimples. She hadn’t heard such good news for days.
“Why be polite to Tyler? He now has nothing but money. It would hurt him if we stopped him from spending his wealth,” Matt teased.

As men, he could actually see Tyler’s feelings for Cora.
They were once schoolmates, and Matt thought that Tyler was reliable. He had known Tyler for years and hadn’t seen him engage in any messy relationships, so Matt was willing to help him out.
Sally quickly joined in, adding to the banter, “If he’s going to spend, a meal won’t make much of a dent.”
Tyler swiftly went along with the flow, saying, “Then how about a barbecue and swimming at Breezy Tides Island this weekend? I’ll cover all the expenses.”
With this suggestion, Sally and Matt enthusiastically agreed.
Cora, however, felt a bit conflicted. “Tyler, you don’t have to spend so much.”
“Cora, it’s just a drop in the bucket for him. Don’t worry about it,” reassured Matt.
“Yeah, Cora. Just come with us! You can relax yourself.”
Matt and Sally continued to encourage her, and even Flora chimed in, Go and have fun. Look at you, spending all your time either working or staying here with me. You’re starting to turn blue.”

Cora was taken aback. She hadn’t expected to hear such caring words from Flora.
Since the incident of her attempted suicide, Flora had been indifferent towards her. Cora thought that such indifference would remain for the rest of their lives.
But today, she unexpectedly heard these words from Flora, and she felt quite touched.
In the end, Cora reluctantly agreed, giving in to their requests, and decided to join Tyler and the others for a weekend getaway to Breezy Tides Island.
