Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Assistant-Cum-Boyfriend
“Me? A boyfriend? Who told you that?” Cora asked.
However, she felt that it was an unnecessary question after posing it.
Flora had been staying in the hospital for some time. Due to the Lane family’s bankruptcy, their relatives had cut ties with
them, so hardly anyone came to visit Flora, and she had no contact with outsiders.
Besides the attending doctors, Matt and Sally, the only person who could keep Flora updated about the outside world
would be Jane, who had just left.
Sally knew better than to burden Flora with her daughter’s relationship problems, as it would likely trigger Flora
emotionally.
Matt couldn’t possibly have done it either, for he wasn’t even aware of Cora’s relationship problems.
So, by process of elimination, Cora figured Jane would be the one who relayed the information to Flora.
As expected, Flora replied, “It’s Dr. Yoris! She mentioned that your boyfriend works as an assistant. He seems nice and
looks good.”
Flora also added, “I don’t expect much from your partner as long as he’s a good person. By the way, you should introduce
him to me someday.”
Although Jane’s positive message brought a smile to Flora’s face, Cora couldn’t help feeling dismayed.
Thus, when Flora asked about meeting her boyfriend, Cora didn’t respond directly. “Let’s talk about it later.”
Deep down, she knew that she couldn’t possibly show her current partner to Flora.
Firstly, Byron wasn’t Carter, which was who people believed him to be. He wasn’t merely an assistant.
Enter title…
Secondly, Byron was in charge of their relationship and wasn’t one to try to please others. Naturally, he wouldn’t meet
Flora at the hospital just to please her.
Lastly, but most importantly, after the unpleasant incident at Breezy Tides, Byron seemed to have unilaterally ended their
relationship. Days had passed without her seeing him, and she hadn’t heard a word from him either.
Cora intended to pack Byron’s belongings and mail them to him after going home that day.
Under such circumstances, it was even more improbable for her to introduce him to Flora.
Flora, however, seemed adamant about it and was persistent in trying to persuade Cora.
“You’re eligible for marriage now. I will be relieved if this can be settled before my operation. With that, I will have good
news for your father even after I passed away in case the operation failed.”
“Mom, cut that nonsense. There’s a high success rate for the operation, and Matt will do his best to help you recover…”
Cora had yet to fully come to terms with her father’s passing, and any mention of his absence was deeply painful for her.
Her head was buzzing, and she was already feeling down. Despite that, she got herself together and did her best to
comfort Flora.
Flora and Gabe were her two remaining family members, and she couldn’t bear the thought of losing them.
“There are always risks in an operation. Being a medical student, don’t you know this better than anyone else? I would
like to meet your boyfriend before the operation to see if he’s worthy of your trust for a lifetime.” Flora rambled on.
It had been a while since Cora last saw her speaking animatedly, showing that she still had much concern for her
daughter.
“Just tell me when you can introduce him to me. I won’t leak it to anyone.”
Touched by her mother’s concern, Cora finally gave in. “All right, I’ll check out his schedule.”
Cora regretted her decision as soon as she said that.
There was no way she could find a boyfriend to introduce to Flora that quickly.
She and Byron were nothing more than friends with benefits. Moreover, they hadn’t been in touch since Jane’s birthday
party. Besides, Byron wouldn’t help her in this situation.
“That’s a promise, then. I’ll have to change out of my hospital gown when you bring him over.”
Flora seemed delighted and started searching for her clothes near the cabinet. “I’m sure I left some of my clothes here.
Why can’t I find them?”
It had been a while since Cora had seen Flora in such high spirits. She figured her promise to introduce her boyfriend to
Flora might not be such a bad idea after all.
When worst came to worst, she could resort to finding a temporary stand-in at a talent market
