Chapter 374 Divorce
“Obtain DNA samples from Sara, Jane, and Cora for comparison,” Byron ordered.
Carter was surprised by the task. “Do you suspect…”
He was puzzled as he saw the two paternity test reports.
But Byron’s words suddenly made everything clear.
“I can’t confirm yet. Once you have the samples, get them tested.”
Byron added, “I’ll inform the finance department to double your salary from this month.”
And with that, he ended the call.
On the other end, Carter was taken aback. “What’s the reason for doubling my salary out of the blue?”
Did he do anything rewardable?
No!
Thinking it over, Carter realized it might be because he referred to Cora as “Mrs. Hansen“.
It seemed like Byron was quite satisfied with that title…
The next day, while treating a patient’s wound, Cora received a phone call from Gabe.
She quickly handed the patient over to another doctor and answered Gabe’s call.
“Gabe, are you okay?”
Cora urgently requested a video call with him.
Gabe obliged. “Look, I’m perfectly fine. But why do you look thinner again? I told you to take care of yourself and not worry about me.‘
Seeing Gabe safe and sound on the video call, Cora breathed a sigh of relief. “Who else do I have to worry about if not you? You’re my only family.”
Even though Gabe wasn’t her blood relative, she had already acknowledged him as her older brother.
“Silly girl, am I your only family? Did you quarrel with Mom again? You know her temperament. Why bother arguing with her?”
Gabe thought Cora had a disagreement with Flora and tried to console her.
In fact, he couldn’t understand either. Although Cora was Flora’s biological daughter, their relationship seemed so bad that even he, a stepson, was closer to Flora.
“I’m not arguing with her. I really only have you as family,” Cora said.
Cora wanted to tell him about the DNA test reports but was afraid of losing him, her only family. So she refrained.
“Well, Gabe, take care of yourself. I don’t care about money or anything else since nothing is as important as you,” Cora said.
“I know. I’ll take care of myself. Once things settle down here, I’ll return to see you and Mom.”
After ending the video call, Cora was about to return to the emergency room when she was blocked by William.
“Let’s talk” William’s state didn’t seem too good, and although he was a doctor, he wore a face full of worry with sunken eyes.
Apparently, the news that she and Byron registered marriage last night had left him anxious the entire night.
“What is there to talk about? Are you going to accuse me of stealing your precious daughter’s fiancé? If that’s the case, it’s unnecessary. Byron and Jane never had an engagement, let alone officially announced a relationship. I didn’t meddle in anything,”

Cora said, trying to pass by William
But William wouldn’t give up and continued blocking her path
“Yet they were likely to have a future together, and if not for your interference, the outcome wouldn’t be so disastrous.”
William didn’t want to be in direct confrontation with Cora. After all, he truly admired her talent in medicine.
However, for Jane’s sake, he had to do this. He couldn’t bear to see Jane getting drunk like she did last night…
“What do you suggest to resolve this issue? Are you thinking of persuading me to divorce?”
Cora looked at William with scorn in her eyes.
