Chapter 210 Get Married Now
“Why did you break up with Byron?”
Flora put down her needlework, sounding concerned.
Cora looked at Flora’s reaction and thought that her mother
still cared about her.
Look at how she immediately dropped her needlework as
soon as she heard about the breakup!
But since Cora felt she was loved, she could hardly maintain
her calmness, and even her voice carried a hint of hoarseness.
“He didn’t want to get married, so we broke up.”
Such an excuse was inspired by Flora’s previous question
about her marriage.
As expected, Flora seemed to agree, saying, “That’s right. Without a commitment, no matter how good-looking he is,
you just can’t date him any longer.
“A woman only has a few good years, and you can’t waste
them on someone like him.”
At first, Flora’s words warmed Cora’s heart.

But as she kept talking, Flora suddenly said, “I will find another man for you these days. I’ll try my best to let you get married
by the end of this year.”
Cora couldn’t help but frown. “Mom, I’m still young. There’s
really no need to rush into marriage.”
She admitted that she couldn’t let go of Byron just yet.
It wouldn’t be fair to rush into a new relationship without letting her heart completely heal.
“But I’m eager to let you get married now.” Flora thought about Jane’s previous insistence on getting Cora married as soon as possible, and the urgency made her irritable.
She worried that if she couldn’t handle even this small matter well, Jane would disdain her.
Without waiting for Cora’s agreement, Flora took out her phone and started searching for the contact information of several other patients who had asked about her daughter’s situation and expressed interest in introducing her to someone. Ignoring Cora’s protests, she called all of them.
Cora felt frustrated. Flora had never been this anxious about her marriage before, so why did she suddenly change?

But to avoid upsetting Flora, she suppressed all her doubts
and questions.
Over the next few weeks, Cora remained busy.

She worked in the emergency room until eight or nine in the evening every day. On her days off, she would visit Gabe, bringing him food and clothes. With Lorenzo’s assistance, Gabe began managing the remaining Lane Group assets.
Occasionally, Cora received messages from Lucas asking about post-operative precautions after his father’s heart stent placement, and she also answered him patiently.
Her life began to regain its rhythm. She no longer had to carve out time each week to learn wood carving or report to Byron if she had occasional overtime, afraid that he would be waiting at home for too long.
During the day, she rarely thought of him, but on nights when silence filled the air, her yearning would overflow
uncontrollably.
Occasionally, she would subconsciously betray her intentions. and quietly gather information related to him.
Such as the Hansen Group obtaining development rights for a certain area under Byron’s guidance, or Byron being selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people.

But amidst all these collected pieces of information, there was
still no definitive news about his engagement with Jane.
But it didn’t matter anymore. Cora believed that after some
days, she would grow accustomed to not having him by her side and eventually let go of him completely.
The only thing that bothered her was the blind dates
arranged by Flora, one per week.
No matter how much she emphasized that she wasn’t ready
for marriage, Flora would still insist on her going to meet her dates according to her schedule.
Cora worried that outright refusal would upset her mother, so every Saturday night, she reluctantly went to various places to
meet her dates.
This week, Flora set her up with an IT guy at the Seasons
Restaurant.
Little did Cora expect that this man would be none other than
Lucas.
“Why is it you?” Cora couldn’t hide her surprise.
“Dr. Lane?” Lucas seemed equally astonished.
