Chapter 17 Is the Woman Cora?

Byron had always been renowned for his integrity and self-discipline in New York. But now in thehospital parking lot, he was seen with a woman.

Eason was taken aback, his expression subtly changing. He couldn't help but notice that thewoman's voice sounded strikingly similar to Cora's.

Glancing at the car once more, he came up with something more to say, "Uncle Byron, how comeyou're still here?"

"Just leaving," Byron replied, his voice noticeably huskier than usual.

"My mother is still in Grandpa's ward. I..."

Eason tried to stay in the conversation as his gaze tracing the woman in Byron's car.

"What are you peeking at? Go!" Byron's cold scolding startled Eason, as Cora had just bitten Byronagain.

Before Eason could regain his composure, the window was shut completely, leaving him staring atthe closed glass.

A sense of reluctance lingered within him. Yet, upon reflection, he believed that no matter howresentful Cora might be, she wouldn't resort to such absurd actions given his relationship withByron.

Eason decided to not give it another thought. After all, he had numerous concerns occupying hismind, particularly the baby in Mia's womb. Each step he took felt burdened.

As soon as Eason left, Cora hurriedly pushed Byron away. But he clung tightly to her waist, refusingto let go.

"You want to push me away right after taking advantage of me? Do you think I'm that easy to getrid of?"

Byron was ready to take action, and his intentions were clear.

Of course Cora knew it was not easy to get rid of him. Worrying that Byron would call Eason back,she felt embarrassed but didn't know what to do.

"Well, w-we can't do it here, right? It's in public."

Observing her blushing face and reddened ears, Byron felt satisfied. He sat back in the driver's seatand started the car.

They spent the entire night making love.

At dawn, Cora felt someone lifting the blanket covering her head and speaking to her. "I'm going ona business trip for a week. Call me if you need anything.”

Cora felt confused. What did his business trip have to do with her? She ignored him.

Hiding her head back under the blanket, Cora continued to sleep. When she finally woke up again,Byron was nowhere to be found.

Cora returned to First Hospital during the morning rush hour, unexpectedly seeing Mia once again.But this time, Mia was wearing a hospital gown.

Due to their unpleasant previous encounter, Cora couldn't be bothered to greet her. Yet Miablocked her path once more.

"Are you going to put on another show for Eason?” Cora grumbled.

Mia's attitude suddenly changed as she smiled, "Of course not. I just wanted to share some goodnews. I'm pregnant.”

“It's only been a few days...and they already have a baby!

Cora's heart felt as though it had been pricked by a needle—painful, but leaving no visible scar.Despite her anguish, Cora maintained a composed facade in front of Mia.

"That's none of my business. You don't have to tell me."

"Well, that was only the first half of the news. Eason’s mother was concerned about how I wouldlook in my wedding dress during my pregnancy, so she brought forward the engagement and thewedding. I have an invitation for you. Here."

Mia exuded the aura of a triumphant victor, sporting a radiant smile as she boasted about the loveof the Patton family and the happiness that awaited her.

"I can't offer my blessings, nor will I bring you any gift. Why do you want me there?" Cora refused toaccept the invitation card.

The card's fiery colors stood out, intensifying the burning sensation in her eyes.

"We've known each other for so long, after all, and you are the only witness to the relationshipbetween Eason and me. Our engagement party will only be complete if you're there.”

Cora responded with sarcasm. "Witness? To the history of you getting together through cheating?"Mia's smile froze, yet she persisted, forcing the invitation card into Cora's hand.

"Regardless, I still hope you can be there and bring our special friendship to a perfect conclusion.”After Mia left, Mr. Gray sent Cora back to her office to rest, noticing her pale face.

"Cora, Mr. Gray said you had to take some rest. Are you okay?"

Sally rushed over to check on Cora, only to notice the invitation card on her table.

She yelled in fury, "They say a good ex should never contact you again! How dare Eason send youan invitation to his engagement?! He just can't live without your blessings and wedding gifts, huh?!""No, it wasn't Eason. I ran into Mia. At Ob-Gyn." Cora thought she could calmly share the story, buther voice emerged hoarse.

"Ob-Gyn? She... Is she...?"

"Yes. She's pregnant.”

"Cora..." Sally looked at Cora, worried, then her anger rose up again, "If those two want to disgustyou so much, you should attend their engagement party and tell people about their cheatingasses!"

"My family is already struggling. I don't want them to become the laughingstock. Let it go.”

Sally persisted, "You should go, Cora! Show them your beauty! Make Eason regret it! Let's goshopping this weekend. I'll replace you a perfect dress.”
