Chapter 379 Loss and Regain
“I’m fine..…….”
Cora just realized her phone was missing after hearing the impact.
She turned around to see her phone lying on the road in the distance while passersby came over to inquire about her situation with
concern.
“Are you okay? How could someone drive like that in front of the hospital?”
“It’s almost deliberate murder!”
The accidental mention of deliberate murder triggered something in Cora’s mind, and she quickly looked back at the car, which was still speeding away. She quietly memorized its license plate number.
At this moment, Carter arrived at the scene.
“Mrs. Hansen, are you okay?”
Earlier, Byron had called him, mentioning the possibility of Cora getting into trouble. Then arriving to see the crowd that had gathered, he feared the worst and almost lost his composure.
“Carter, I’m fine,” Cora replied, still overwhelmed by the shock of the incident.
She temporarily didn’t pay attention to the change in Carter’s address for her, nor did she notice that Tyler’s hand was still resting on her shoulder.
Carter glanced lightly at the hand on Cora’s shoulder and said, “Mr. Cooper, I’ll take care of Mrs. Hansen, and Mr. Hansen is on his way here.”
As a man, Carter naturally understood Tyler’s intentions toward Cora.
Such a scene wouldn’t sit well with Byron if he saw it.
However, Tyler didn’t seem to appreciate the suggestion. “A car just rushed toward Cora, which almost hit her. Tell Byron to investigate that car. I have a feeling that it was premeditated.”
By saying this, he implied that Byron might have offended someone, which somehow involved Cora.
His words also reminded Cora, who quickly informed Carter of the car’s license plate number.
“This is the license plate number. Carter, please investigate it later.”
As they were in conversation, a sports car suddenly screeched to a halt right in front of them.
The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground reverberated through the air.
When the car stopped, a man quickly got out and strode toward them.
In no time, he was standing in front of Cora.
Seeing his cold and stern expression, Cora wanted to comfort him. “Byron, I’m fine. L..”
Before she could finish her sentence, she found herself in Byron’s embrace.
“Why couldn’t I reach your phone? I thought something had happened to you.”
His voice sounded icy, making even Tyler feel uncomfortable.
Tyler thought Cora might not be able to tolerate Byron’s cold words and attitude. However, to his surprise, Cora hugged him back tightly.
“My phone got knocked away and turned off. But I’m lucky, completely fine.”
Chapter 379 Loss and Regain
Cora didn’t feel scared or repulsed. Instead, she gently comforted Byron, surprising Tyler.
Was this the power of love people talked about?
“Fortunately, Tyler pulled me aside just in time. Otherwise, the loss wouldn’t have been just my phone.”
Cora tried to ease Byron’s tension despite her remaining fear.
She could feel how tense Byron was all over, and it was evident he was truly scared for her.
Hence, she didn’t take his previous harsh tone to heart.
Moreover, when she saw the car rushing toward her just now, the only image that flashed through her mind was Byron.
It would be her biggest regret if she had no chance to cherish this hard–won marriage with Byron.
The near loss and regain of both life and love made her cherish every single second she could be with him now.
Tyler hadn’t expected them to embrace each other so unabashedly, displaying such affection. It was a sight that tugged at his heartstrings, making him want to turn away and leave.
But Byron stopped him.
