Chapter 497 Her child?
1/4
“Cora, I know this sudden confession might make you doubt if it’s just a spur–of–the–moment decision. But it’s not. From the moment I saw you, I even had names planned for our children after we got married. If it wasn’t for my grandfather telling me that you were already pregnant back then, I believe I would have done everything I could to win you over.
“Later, Grandpa misunderstood the situation between us and asked me to take care of you. I simply went along with it, just to have more chances to look at you.”
When Jerry spoke about these things, there was a hint of self–deprecation in his demeanor.
Perhaps even he found it unbelievable that someone, as experienced in love as he was, would end up falling in love with
a pregnant woman.
Even to the extent of pretending to be oppressed by his
grandfather and taking care of her to have more opportunities to look at her.
“Then, Martin was born. At first, I didn’t like him, but I couldn’t help but feel that I saw traces of you in him, and I couldn’t resist getting close to him…”
Jerry said a lot. But Cora was still a little at a loss.‘

She really didn’t expect that the easy–going, brother–like big boy who played with Martin day in and day out would have such feelings for her.
Although she had considered starting a new relationship after breaking up with Byron, she knew that it would only be possible many years later.
Because of that, she suddenly didn’t know how to face Jerry.
“That… I…”
She organized her speech for a long time, but she didn’t know how to express it.
But fortunately, Jerry seemed to have anticipated her mood.
He smiled and rubbed the top of her hair. “Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. I didn’t want you to accept me all at once.”
He also got up and walked outside the house.
“Okay, I’ll give you time and space to calm down first. Let’s discuss how to go to New York to find Dr. Watts tomorrow. We will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest. I know you don’t want to delay any longer.”
Then he left as he said.
But until two hours after he left, Cora’s mind was still in chaos.
She never thought that Jerry would have that idea about her.

Especially last time, when he generously persuaded her to go to find Byron, she thought he had no feelings for her.
But now it seemed that he just buried his feelings very deeply.
If she were a young girl who was not deeply involved in the world, she would really be moved by Jerry’s affectionate
appearance.
But now, her enthusiasm had almost been wiped out, and she couldn’t give Jerry the enthusiastic response he wanted.
Furthermore, she felt that she hadn’t completely cleared Byron out of her mind, which was also unfair to Jerry.
After thinking for two hours, Cora made a decision.
“Martin, pack up some toys you like and the clothes you want to wear. Let’s go to New York now.”
In this way, Cora rushed back to New York overnight with
Martin.
The next morning, Cora sought out Sadie, the head nurse’at the First Hospital.
“Can you babysit the child for an hour? I’ll be back soon.”
“Of course. This is fine, but this child…”
Sadie had worked in the hospital before, so she naturally knew

that Cora had a marriage with Byron.
And she had never heard of Cora having a baby before.
But the child Cora brought looked too much like Byron.
So Sadie was almost certain in her mind that this was the
product of that failed marriage!

But Cora only said vaguely, “He’s a relative’s child. I was asked to take care of him.”
Since Cora was unwilling to state her concerns explicitly, Sadie also didn’t want to expose anyone’s shortcomings intentionally.
“I’ll take care of him. You go and attend to your own matters. Besides, we have a group of interns that can be directed, and I don’t have much to do this morning either.”
After telling Martin to behave well, Cora rushed to the Hansen Group building.
