Chapter 653 Untangling the Heart Knots
In the blink of an eye, the train arrived at the final station.
When Cora was about to get off the train, Byron proactively held her hand and protected her while getting off the train.
Feeling the domineering yet gentle care of the man, Cora inevitably remembered what he said just now, and her face was burning again.
Fortunately, the wind at the end of autumn was cold enough,
so the hot sensation on her cheeks subsided when she
stepped out of the station.
After exiting the station, Cora walked toward a place.
Byron hurriedly followed. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to find the eyes of the sand.”
“The eyes of the sand? For Carter’s aunt’s medicine?”
“Yes. Her eye problem is quite serious, and the eyes of the sand that can be bought in ordinary pharmacies will definitely

not be effective, so I have to find some fresh ones to refine
once I return.”
“Then where can you find the eyes of the sand?”
The sky was already dark.
But Cora walked toward the mountain instead.
Byron couldn’t imagine what it would have been like for this
woman to walk into the mountains in the dark alone if he
hadn’t followed her just now.
“In the cave?”
Byron was dubious, yet he followed Cora into the cave.
This woman truly came prepared. She even brought a flashlight.
It was pitch black in the cave, and the cold wind was blowing.
It even made Byron’s skin crawl, although he was an adult
man.
But Cora didn’t seem to feel the slightest bit of fear. As soon as she entered the cave, she methodically directed the flashlight at the cave ceilings.
Chapter 653 Untangling the Heart Knots Stimulated by the light, several bats abruptly flew in a circular motion at the cave ceilings at a high speed.
Byron was worried that Cora would be attacked by the bats,
so he immediately took off his suit jacket and put it on Cora’s head.
“It’s all right. I’ve found the eyes of the sand.”
Cora wanted to return the suit jacket to Byron, but the man insisted on letting her wear it.
In the end, Cora had no choice but to squat down with his coat on and used the prepared utensils to pick the eyes of the sand from the ground before putting them inside a bag.
When Byron looked at Cora with her gloves on carrying a bag of eyes of the sand, his expression was beyond words.
“Are you sure these can really be used on the eyes? Won’t the smell be nasty?”
“This thing has high medicinal value, you know. What’s nasty about it?”
Once the two finished picking the eyes of the sand, they took a taxi back to the city.
Cora was looking at the passing scenery when she suddenly

said, “When I went to the birthday banquet with Jerry that day,
I was the one who wanted to break up, then he made a few
requests.”
In Cora’s eyes, things like love actually came and went.
If one treated someone well, that person would also do the
same.
Byron had explained the matter about Elena just now, so she would also explain to him the things he was concerned about.
“Including what I said later about not being able to leave Leucrest Town for some time, it was also because he wanted
me to accompany him when he went to remove his decayed tooth.”
Byron turned to look at Cora in surprise when he heard her
words.
However, Cora was still looking outside the car window, and
her gaze was slightly empty.
It seemed as if she was looking at someone she really cared
about through the scenery outside the car window.
“We had even promised that the three of us would go to eat hamburgers together after he removed his tooth. But Jerry left for abroad that day.”

There was a stinging sensation in Byron’s heart, but he still
held out his hand to clutch Cora’s hand.
Cora also turned around, and her eyes were red.
“I’m grateful to Jerry for the last four years. For countless times when I couldn’t do any other things because of Martin, he helped me take care of him. To me and Martin, he was not just
a friend, but more like a family.”
Because of her gratitude and that Jerry was an irreplaceable
person, Cora was even more unwilling to argue with Byron because of Jerry.
Probably because Byron had understood how Cora felt, he
pulled her into his arms.
“I understand…”
Even though he was very grateful for what Jerry had done for this pair of mother and son in the past four years, when he thought that a certain corner of Cora’s heart would always
belong to Jerry, he could still go crazy with jealousy.
So while kissing her side face, he secretly vowed in his heart
that he would never let Cora and their son leave his side in the
future, and would not let them have the slightest chance to be
indebted to the kindness of others again.
