Byron firmly disagreed with the divorce and left angrily.
When he slammed the door loudly, Cora quickly stepped into the bathroom.
She was on her period now and had cramps. Maybe it was because of the quarrel. The pain worsened and almost killed her.
The failure of their conversation caused Byron to not go back home for several days.
Cora wanted to find Byron to divorce but couldn't find him.
As life went on, a week passed soon.
On this day, Cora went to the food court alone after getting off work from the hospital.
For some reason, she had lost more and more appetite recently and smelt everything strange.
But today, the tacos ordered by her colleague whetted her appetite inexplicably.
So after getting off work, she headed straight to buy tacos in the food court.
She spent ten dollars buying four tacos. Standing beside the food truck, she started to eat them.
It might be that the fast food pleased her tongue, or it might be that the people coming and going in the food court made her forget the loneliness of being alone. She enjoyed the tacos with relish.
This was the most she had eaten in a while.
Just when she was about to go home, she found she was being followed.
Cora had noticed that man in the food court, who wore a black suit, looking at her fiercely.
At that time, she thought she was blocking his way, so she moved to the side.
But now, she was almost sure the man was coming for her.
If she walked fast, that person would walk fast.
When she stopped, the man found a place to hide.
Cora became increasingly restless as she walked, and she even started running.
But when she ran, her stomach hurt.
When she had no choice but to stop, she saw two people beside her, and they quickly rushed toward the vicious man.
When Cora was wondering what was going on, a man hurried up and asked, "Mrs. Hansen, are you okay?"
Cora vaguely remembered he was one of Byron's bodyguards.
