"I don't believe it!" Cora was firm in her stance.
She couldn't believe their intense love from four years ago could have vanished into thin air.
"I'll ask him myself. No need for you to act all high and mighty here," she retorted harshly before storming out of the car, carrying her bag.
Watching Cora's retreating figure, Elena felt irritated and pounded the steering wheel.
Back in her apartment, Cora noticed a message on her phone.
[Cora, how did your talk with Byron go?]
It was from Gabe, who was worried that Cora and Byron wouldn't be able to come to an agreement and also didn't want to disturb their reunion.
So, he chose to wait patiently for a text message instead of making a call.
Cora thought for a moment and replied: [It didn't work out.]
She even felt angry enough to consider returning to Leucrest Town.
However, as she opened her wardrobe and saw the traces of Byron's past life that she hadn't tidied up yet, she decided against it.
Then she closed the wardrobe.
[I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. I promised to pursue him this time...]
She scolded herself, feeling remorseful.
Since she had been looking forward to his return, how could she give up so easily just because of a minor setback?
After much contemplation, she called Jerry.
"I might need to stay here for a few more days. If you're busy, just let Lucy take care of Martin."
"It's alright. I don't have to be at the company every day. It's rare that you're willing to let my godson and me have fun alone, so of course, we'll make the most of it!" Jerry chuckled, seemingly carefree.
He asked Cora, "Is your patient so intractable that he requires you so many days?"
"Yes, it's quite challenging."
The difficult part was not the patient but rather the patient's family member, who resisted her, and she wasn't sure if he was willing to accept her.
But Jerry didn't seem to detect this, asking with concern, "Do you need any help?"
"Can you study medicine so quickly?" Cora teased.
