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

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

Lucas sensed her wariness towards him and didn’t engage in
any more chatting.

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
