As Byron rushed downstairs to the apartment, he noticed that there were no lights from the upstairs windows.
Though it was still early, he was worried that they might have fallen asleep.
After all, he feared Cora becoming involved with someone else.
So, he hurried upstairs.
Standing before the familiar apartment, Byron attempted to unlock it with his fingerprint.
However, he discovered that Cora had probably deleted his fingerprint from the unlocking function, indicating that she no longer wanted him around.
So, he could only ring the doorbell.
He pressed it several times, but the door didn't open.
Frustrated, he resorted to force.
"Cora, come out! I forbid you to be with him. You're my wife. Do you hear me!"
After knocking and shouting for a while, the neighbors thought something was wrong, so they hurriedly opened their doors to see what was happening.
One of the neighbors, a woman, recognized Byron and was taken aback.
"Oh, it's you! Where have you been? We haven't seen you come home for so long."
This neighbor was warm-hearted and used to see Cora living alone.
So sometimes, she would give Cora homemade side dishes when she didn't want to cook. Additionally, during the early summer of one year, the neighbor's husband helped fix a broken faucet in Cora's house.
She occasionally contacted Cora, and they also ran into each other at the elevator when going out. With these frequent encounters, the neighbor had an impression of Byron and knew that he was her boyfriend.
But she didn't know why Cora suddenly left New York four years ago and why Byron had disappeared since then.
Now, after returning to New York, Cora had a child with her and a new man in her life.
But Byron appeared again...
Byron was too anxious to chat with strangers. He asked the neighbor, "Do you know if Cora is at home?"
The neighbor's husband happened to walk over.
He replied, "She just left. I came back from work just now and met her in the elevator. She had the child with her, as well as some large bags. She said she was leaving New York."
Actually, he was also puzzled as to why Cora and Byron, who seemed to have a good relationship, were not together anymore.
