Chapter 377 A Cuckoo in the Nest
This time, Jane made a very straightforward request: [You should keep an eye on Dr. Lane.]
She thought Flora would quickly agree as usual, willing to go to great lengths to fulfill her desires.
Unexpectedly, Flora replied: [I understand your resentment, but I can’t control her. And Dr. Yoris, if you don’t want to lose everything you have now, try not to provoke her.]
Upon reading Flora’s message, Jane threw her phone onto the bed.
“So, you’re in cahoots with Cora too, huh? I thought you were different!”
Jane believed Flora would react this way because she was protecting Cora.
“Cunning woman, you’ve been tricking me all the time!”
The more she thought about it, the more infuriated she became. She must retaliate against this wicked mother and daughter!
On the other side, the payment notices for the burns unit appeared once again in Cora’s sight.
Annoyed, she took the payment notice to see Flora. “What’s up? Didn’t Dr. Yoris pay the fee?”
Seeing Flora’s expressionless face, she continued to say, “Look at your precious daughter. She won’t even help you with the basic treatment fees!”
Flora remained silent, tightly gripping the bedsheet.
In truth, she wished she could scratch Cora’s face after finding out that she and Byron had registered their marriage.
However, she had to consider the leverage Cora held and worry about Jane’s situation. So she swallowed her indignation.
Cora knew what Flora was wary of. Looking at her trying to suppress her anger, Cora couldn’t help but smirk.
“Oh, did I tell you? Mr. Hansen and I have registered our marriage. I’ve completely snatched Jane’s fiancé. Does that make you angry?”
Flora tightly pursed her lips but eventually couldn’t hold back, retorting, “Since you’ve become Byron’s wife, just stop causing trouble,”
But Cora laughed upon hearing this. “Causing trouble? Am I the one causing trouble? Did I swap newborn babies? Or did I use despicable means to prevent other children from studying medicine just so my daughter would have fewer competitors? Or did I resort to death threats to force others to break up, all for my daughter’s happiness?”
“Mrs. Flora Lane, none of these things were done by me, were they?” She coldly stared at Flora, whose face showed discontent.
Yet Flora had no choice but to control her temper and maintain a calm gaze. “I admit I made mistakes, but since the damage is done, what do you expect me to do now? I’m just doing what I can to make everyone suffer a little less.”
Unable to hold back, Cora burst into laughter. “I never realized you were so good at putting on a virtuous facade, just like your daughter.
“All this is just to let your daughter continue enjoying the privileges of being Miss Yoris. Do you really think I can’t see through it?”
Flora’s expression stiffened as Cora’s words exposed her hypocrisy.
“I didn’t…”
Flora wanted to continue weaving more lies, but Cora wasn’t in the mood to listen to her now.
“Enough with the useless words. You should feel fortunate that I don’t want to face the Yoris family right now. Otherwise, do you really think I will willingly let her be a cuckoo in the nest?”
These words sounded quite insulting, but despite displeasure, Flora had to admit it brought a slight sense of relief.
As long as Jane could stay in the Yoris family, her future would still be bright.

“Take this payment notice to Jane. I won’t help you with anything extra.
After delivering this statement, Cora returned to her work and continued until the end of her shift.
Since Byron had an engagement tonight and couldn’t come to pick her up, he sent Carter instead.
When Cora left the hospital, Carter hadn’t arrived yet, so she waited by the roadside.
However, she didn’t notice a dilapidated Santana not far away, where a man made a phone call, keeping a cold stare on her. “Is that her? Okay. Remember to pay me once the task is done.”
