Chapter 57
“I’m so happy today. It’s great to be able to solve it perfectly.”
After drinking a few cups of beer, Sally asked again, “Cora, it was Carter who
helped you, right?”
“Um.”
Cora didn’t want to tell Sally about Mia’s fake pregnancy. Sally was talkative, and
she might leak it at any time.
Of course, she didn’t keep it secret for Mia’s sake or Eason’s. She just wanted to
keep the evidence. Then, Jane dared not to embarrass her and Sally in their
internship.
They chatted, and the subject somehow came to Eason and Cora’s past.
“In my eyes, Carter is many times better than Eason. I don’t understand why you
fell in love with him in the past. He is not as handsome as Carter. Even he is not
as good as Mr. Hansen’s a ten-thousandth of it.”
Cora took a sip of beer. “I liked Eason not because of his appearance.”
Enter title…
“He is a mama’s boy. Could it be that he can satisfy your character of being a
young mother?”
“Of course not. Eason saved me. He is brave, kind, and responsible.”
Cora didn’t know if it was because the Patton family ended her engagement with
Eason or the fading of the good memories. She felt Eason was not close to the
man who had bravely saved her.
“How could that coward save you? Are you kidding? I may believe it if you say
you save him.”
Sally always felt that Eason was the one who would hide in his mother’s arms
and cry at a critical moment.
That scene was so disgusting. Sally quickly took a few mouthfuls of cold beer to
wash away the nausea brought by the scene.
But Cora emphasized. “I mean it. That year, I met a lunatic hacking people on the
street. Eason blocked the knife for me. He saved me. There is a scar on his
shoulder.”
But she was young that year. She was splashed with blood on her face. At that
time, she was frightened and didn’t remember that man’s appearance and name.
After she calmed down, she ran to the hospital to find the man. She searched the
hospital’s list of patients. Eason was the only person who matched the
information of the person who had saved her.
Many boys pursued her in school. But she only took the initiative to talk to Eason.
“I always think it is not something Eason would do.”
“Anyway, it doesn’t matter. It’s all in the past.”
Maybe Cora was still sad. She drank a whole bottle of beer.
Seeing this, Sally quickly changed the subject. “Don’t talk about Eason. It’s time
to discuss when you will profess your love to Carter.”
“Profess my love to Carter?” Cora threw away the wine bottle. Her head was not
dizzy, but she couldn’t understand Sally’s words.
Sally knocked her on the forehead. “You are stupid. Carter can help you a few
times. He must not be as simple as just wanting to maintain that relationship with
you.”
“Are you sure?” Cora suddenly recalled that Byron had worked from home
yesterday and took time to touch her forehead to check her condition. The
expectation that she tried to hide in her heart seemed infinitely magnified at this
moment.
“Of course! He got you and still helped you in this matter. If he doesn’t want your
love, why did he help you?”
Sally continued, “Instead of passively waiting, it’s better to take the initiative to
take action. Get Carter’s heart and make you be his only love…”
Later, both Cora and Sally were drunk.
Cora didn’t remember what else she said.
She only remembered that she had promised Sally that she would take the
initiative to profess her love to that man.
Early the following day, she and Sally entered the emergency room in the nick of
time.
“Remember not to be impulsive in the future.”
Erik saw Cora standing in front of him in a doctor’s overall again. He was relieved
and couldn’t help reminding her.
“Thank you, Mr. Gray.”
Although Erik didn’t help much, Cora remembered that he was desperate to keep
her at that time.
“Alright, hurry up and see the patients in Bed Four in the cardiac surgery
department. Sally, go upstairs to the andrology department to help.” Erik didn’t
have time to chat with them. He directly set tasks for them.
Cora followed the patient in Bed Four to the cardiac surgery department and
came across Jane.
