Chapter 613 Smile Vanished
Hearing John’s remarks, the expressions of the three people present turned grim.
“Cora is definitely not someone who appeared out of thin air. But we…” William was about to explain.
However, John interrupted him directly, “No matter what happened, you shouldn’t have let a pregnant woman wander alone! If Cora hadn’t been brave enough, you wouldn’t have seen her standing here with Martin safe and sound!”
John was right. Thinking of Cora’s experience, Sara was also filled with trepidation.
She couldn’t control her emotions, and tears welled up in her
eyes.
“Sir Lloyd, I know we’ve let Cora down. But four years ago, we didn’t know Cora was our daughter. If I had known she was my child, how could I have made so many mistakes and left her alone to struggle in Leucrest Town while pregnant?”
As Sara spoke, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
John furrowed his brows and looked at Cora. “Have you just found your parents? What about your older brother?“.
“I was switched with another baby when I was born. Gabe is the

son of the Lane family,” Cora explained while passing a tissue to
Sara.
“I see.”
John nodded in partial understanding and then turned to look at Byron.
“Then what about you? What were you doing when Cora was pregnant?”
He knew that Cora would return to New York to visit someone’s grave every year on a certain day, wearing black clothes.
He had thought she was mourning her husband, but her husband was right there in front of them now.
“I had a car accident, lost consciousness for a while, and then spent a year in the hospital. After that, I went through rehabilitation…”
Seeing Byron’s composed attitude, John felt that his grandson had already lost in a certain sense.
“Alright, I’m just an outsider. I shouldn’t interfere too much,” John said, signaling he didn’t want to discuss these matters any further.
But Cora couldn’t help but say, “Sir Lloyd, to Martin and me, you’re closer than family. How can you consider yourself an outsider?”

William also solemnly promised, “You are Cora’s teacher and the Yoris family’s benefactor. Just let us know if there’s anything the Lloyd family needs in the future.”
“Yes, your kindness is something we can never repay in our lifetime. So please let us be at your disposal.”
As Sara echoed William, Cora couldn’t help but turn to look at her.
She felt Sara had changed recently.
In the past, Sara wouldn’t have valued anyone’s favor so much.
But recent experiences seemed to have completely erased her
arrogance.
Now, she appeared as a pitiful woman who just discovered herself being tricked for over twenty years.
While Cora was looking at Sara in a daze, she suddenly felt another gaze.
It was Byron.
As she looked at Sara, he was staring at her intensely.
With their eyes meeting, Byron didn’t look away but kept staring at her, smiling.
It was a slight but sincere smile.

In fact, from this morning, when he brought breakfast for them, he had been watching her like this, as if he could never get enough and wanted to be with her every second.
This overly intense gaze made Cora feel uncomfortable, so she averted her gaze first.
Byron’s smile deepened as he noticed that Cora’s ear blushed.
John also caught this scene, and his somewhat hazy gaze turned more profound.
“Forget about the gratitude. I’ve just done what my conscience requires. Besides, Cora often helped me with shifts before, so I just returned the favor.
“But speaking of which, Cora, you haven’t come back in a long time since you went to New York, and I’ve been on duty for almost a month now. Don’t you think you should…”
He seemed to be asking Cora to help take his shift and see patients for a few days.
If Cora agreed, she would have to stay in Leucrest Town for a few more days.
As Byron thought of this, his smile suddenly vanished.
