Jerry hurried forward. “I’m here. What’s his temperature now?”
Cora turned around and burst into tears upon seeing Jerry.
“104 degrees Fahrenheit. What should we do? Martin is in a
daze.”
Seeing Martin looking weak and frail, Cora felt completely
overwhelmed.
Cora blamed herself, feeling that she hadn’t taken good care
of Martin and letting him get a fever.
“It’s alright. I’m here for you!”
Jerry gently embraced Cora, then took Martin in his arms.
“You go get some warm water and wipe Martin’s neck and hands, and the temperature will go down quickly.”
Because Jerry had been helping Cora take care of Martin before, he had experience with that situation.
Cora had been at a loss before, not knowing what to do.
Chapter 504 She Agreed!
Now, with Jerry’s assistance, Cora finally had the opportunity to prepare warm water, and she began wiping Martin with it.
Just like that, they took turns holding Martin throughout the night, wiping him with warm water.
At dawn, Martin’s temperature finally returned to normal, and Cora could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She then leaned on
Jerry’s shoulder and fell asleep.
When Cora woke up, she heard Jerry talking and Martin
laughing.
“Martin, you can’t get sick again. Do you know how scared your mom and I were when you got sick?”
“Let’s make a pinky promise, no more getting sick.“”
Cora got up and realized that Jerry was still holding Martin
and trying hard to maintain a posture for her to lean on.
As Cora got up, Jerry let out a gasp of pain.
“You should have woken me up.”
Cora felt both distressed and a little angry. Jerry hadn’t slept
all night to take care of her and Martin. Since he had been maintaining the same position the whole time, he must be very tired.

“What’s the point of waking you up? You just recovered from
an illness and should rest more. I’m strong, and I can handle
it.”
Cora’s eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Jerry, who kept comforting her despite his tense and pained shoulders.
“Jerry, is what you said before true?”
“What do you mean?” Jerry rubbed his shoulder and asked.
“About wanting to take care of us, me and Martin.”
Cora’s voice was choked up.
Everyone had left Cora feeling disappointed throughout the day yesterday, from her ex–husband to her biological mother.
Only Jerry didn’t show any aversion to the trouble and had
taken care of the two of them all night.
Cora suddenly felt that finding someone to rely on wouldn’t be
a bad idea.
But Jerry was momentarily lost, even doubting if he had
misheard, and couldn’t answer.
Thinking that he was having second thoughts, Cora said, “If

you regret it, just forget I asked.”
It was too awkward, and Cora didn’t know how to face Jerry
next.
She was about to get up and run away.
But Jerry pulled her back onto the chair next to him and said,
“I just feel that the surprise came too suddenly, and I even
doubted my own ears.”
Then Jerry looked at Cora seriously and said, “I don’t regret
Martin.”
Hearing that, Cora smiled.
“Then let’s give it a try.”
Jerry looked at Cora earnestly and held her hand. “Okay, I’ll do
as you say.”
Byron’s villa…
Since leaving the Hansen Group yesterday, Byron had been
waiting here for Cora to come to him.
But Cora seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Byron
couldn’t stand it and asked Carter to investigate if Cora had

left New York again.
However, the answer did not align with Byron’s expectations.
Carter said that Cora was still in New York.
Byron pondered if Cora really had a relative with mental illness and wanted to find Johnson for treatment.
So after smoking a few cigarettes, he called Johnson…
