Cora had already told Byron before that after they broke up, they should pretend that they didn’t know each other.
So when he approached her, she calmly walked past him, intending to avoid any interaction.
However, Byron seemed to be deliberately annoying her, blocking her path directly.
“New boyfriend?”
His voice was colder than the wind scraping against her face.
Only then did Cora look up at him.
Then, she saw mockery and indifference written all over his
face.
After Cora came back to her senses, she realized that Byron had misunderstood her relationship with Lucas.
It didn’t matter if others misunderstood her, but Byron just
couldn’t.
Before getting together with Byron, she had never devoted

herself to any other man.
If it weren’t for his impending engagement, she would have

Yet, he misunderstood her intentions, which made Cora feel
insulted.
“Yes, he’s not bad-looking, and his figure is on par with yours, Mr. Hansen,” Cora responded sarcastically.
It wasn’t clear whether Byron grasped the underlying meaning, but he coldly reminded her, “A girl should have self-respect.”
“I don’t have self-respect, and I’m sure you knew that long ago,” Cora smirked provocatively.
She was referring to their first time sleeping together, which also happened after leaving the bar.
That was what Byron cared about most, not wanting anyone to witness her vulnerable and endearing side in that situation.
Some emotions almost broke free from their restraints, and
Byron was tempted to pull her back into his embrace.
However, before he could act, Cora sidestepped him.

“Mr. Hansen, please have some self-restraint. There’s no need to meddle with someone like me, who lacks self-respect, after we’ve broken up. Otherwise, your fiancée might
misunderstand,” Cora said, leaving those words behind as she walked away.
Lucas had already driven his car out of the parking lot by then.
Cora initially didn’t want to ride in Lu as’s car, but either in defiance of Byron or in her haste to avoid him, she still chose

Byron watched her sitting in another man’s car, and he couldn’t help feeling restless. He lit another cigarette, trying to
calm his inner turmoil…
“Mr. Quinn, can you drop me off at the subway station?”
Cora looked at Byron standing still through the rearview
mirror, speaking to Lucas without much emotion.
“Sure.”
Lucas sensed her wariness towards him and didn’t engage in
any more chatting.

As they approached the subway station, Lucas asked, “Dr. Lane, do you mind if we exchange numbers?”

Without waiting for Cora’s response, he continued, “Sally mentioned that you excel in cardiac surgery and are planning to specialize in that field. My father recently had a stent. implanted…”
Cora immediately understood.
When a family member underwent a cardiac procedure, his family often felt anxious and had many questions. Thus, many patients’ families would consult her about related issues.
So, even before Lucas finished speaking, Cora took out her
phone and added his number to her contact list.
“Feel free to ask me any questions, Mr. Quinn. I’ll share what I
know. However, I might be busy at work sometimes and may not reply promptly.”
“Thank you, Dr. Lane.”
They soon arrived at the subway station, and after bidding
each other farewell, Cora got out of the car and joined the
rush of people entering the station.
Little did she know that Lucas didn’t leave immediately. He

picking up his phone and looking at the newly added number. A slight smirk appeared on his l*ps.
In fact, he didn’t have a father.
