Chapter 496 His True Feelings
A while back, Cora learned that Martin couldn’t speak, and it was highly likely that he had developed autism. Through various sources, she found out that if she could seek treatment from
Johnson, there was a 70% chance of a cure.
So, Cora had been constantly inquiring about the whereabouts of Johnson, but it was said that he had been abroad for the past few years.
Cora had even made a plan. After obtaining a passport for
Martin in the next two weeks, she would take him abroad to find
Johnson.
Despite having made the plan, Cora hadn’t been able to find the exact whereabouts of Johnson.
But now, Jerry said that he had Johnson’s whereabouts.
She couldn’t care about anything else and immediately choked up the soup.
As soon as she put the bowl away after drinking, she asked, “Where is he?”
“Don’t be in such a hurry, okay? Wipe your mouth first.” Jerry handed her a tissue.
But Cora didn’t pick it up, and in the end, he could only
Chapter 496 His True Feelings compromise. “You win. He’s in New York.”
Cora was speechless.
She never expected that he would be in the place she least wanted to go at the moment.

But at that time, Martin ran to her side, grabbed her hand, and motioned her to look at the painting he just drew that day.
In that painting, there were many children.
Cora thought that Martin was still longing to play with other children.
It was just that he couldn’t speak and had been rejected by many kindergartens.
That was the most painful aspect Cora felt.
Cora was already unable to provide Martin with a complete family, and now she feared she might not be able to give him a happy childhood either.
Thinking about those hardships, Cora suddenly embraced Martin in her arms and said, “Martin, it’s okay. No matter what, Mom will make sure you get better and be able to play with other kids.”
Martin furrowed his brows, just like Byron. That was clearly not what he meant.

However, Cora didn’t grasp that underlying meaning and simply asked Martin to go play with toys while she busied herself
discussing things with Jerry.
“Do you know his exact address?”
don’t know the exact address. But someone must know.”
“Who?”
“Mr. Hansen.”
Cora’s expression changed.
“I didn’t lie to you. What I found out is that Johnson and Mr. Hansen both studied in the same school before, and they were students in the same grade. Besides, there is this…”
Jerry handed his mobile phone to Cora, and there happened to be a photo from a few years ago displayed on the screen.
It was a photo of the two of them.
One of them was Byron.
It could be seen that Byron in the photo was much younger and immature, and his eyes were not as sharp as they were then.
The other person looked about the same figure as Byron, but his brows and eyes looked much gentler.
So, that Johnson had a pretty good relationship with Byron?

If that was the case, then Johnson might contact Byron when he went to New York.
Cora understood Jerry’s purpose in mentioning Byron.
It was just that Cora obviously didn’t have the idea of meeting Byron again, and she looked a little dazed.
“If you don’t want to see him, leave it to me!”
Jerry lightly patted her shoulder and then suddenly changed his tone, saying, “Cora, would you give me a chance to take care of you and your son?”
“What?” Cora almost looked up in astonishment.
But Jerry just smiled gently and said, “I’ve always thought that
my
desire to be Martin’s father was quite evident.”
“But…” Cora had always thought that Jerry only liked Martin.
Moreover, he was a young man with great prospects, and there was really no need for him to invest so much effort in her, who was already married and had a child.
“No. Ever since I met you, I’ve had this strong feeling. It’s like loving you means loving Martin as well. I’ve tried to convince myself to give up and find someone else, but in the end, I realized that I can’t imagine my life without you and your son…”
Jerry’s lone was casual, but the tenderness in his eyes was
Chapter 496 His True Feelings impossible to hide.
5/5
Because after witnessing how hurt Cora was the last time, Jerry couldn’t bear to let her suffer any more pain.
So that time, he openly expressed his true feelings without any
pretense…
