Cora was stunned for a moment.
Actually, today she also planned to take Martin to finish the check-up, make sure he had no problem, and then return to Leucrest Town.
However, Byron's sudden appearance left her conflicted.
But she knew she had to take responsibility for her choices as an adult.
She had promised Jerry before, so she shouldn't have gone back to Byron just because he had changed his mind.
Doing so would be disrespectful to Jerry.
Having resolved her thoughts, Cora nodded and said, "Alright, let's go back."
"In that case, shall I book the tickets now?" Jerry asked eagerly.
Jerry was elated with her decision.
Cora's willingness to return to Leucrest Town indicated that she didn't want to go back to Byron.
"Sure, go ahead," Cora replied with a smile before closing the bathroom door.
Once alone in the shower, her smile faded, and her mind became cluttered.
The meeting between Martin and Byron was something she had imagined countless times, but she hadn't expected it to happen under these circumstances.
Moreover, both of them appeared strangely calm, as if they had already accepted the situation.
Feeling overwhelmed, Cora decided that leaving New York would give her some respite from all these complex emotions.
It would save her from overthinking things, at least temporarily.
She turned on the shower and let the warm water wash over herself over and over again, hoping to wash away those disturbing thoughts.
But Cora had no idea that while Jerry was busy booking tickets, Martin was sitting by the window, watching a man beside the black sports car. He was leaning against the car and was smoking.
He noticed Martin's gaze and looked up, their eyes meeting.
