Chapter 185 She Is Not Loved
“Yeah,” Cora frowned but still responded.
“Cora, it shouldn’t be like this. I still love you, and I know I was wrong. You shouldn’t punish yourself or me in such an extreme way,” Eason murmured with a hoarse voice, his agony
visible. Even his chin bore a layer of stubble, making him look suddenly much older.
As Cora watched his dejected appearance, a touch of sadness crossed her eyes.
Initially, she harbored a desire for revenge against Eason, but
now…
She had developed feelings for Byron, even though she knew
it was bound to be futile.
So she felt confused about her own motives. What was she
trying to achieve?
However, she knew one thing for sure she didn’t want any
further involvement with Eason.
When Eason tried to reach for her hand, Cora withdrew her hand first, leaving him grasping at thin air, creating an

awkward pause.
Eason looked at his empty hand as if realizing that he had missed something important.

Cora didn’t spare him a second glance, just coldly advising, “You’d better visit your mother. It would be troublesome if she suffers another stroke.”
Afterward, she returned to the emergency room to continue her busy work. However, her mind couldn’t help but replay Lydia’s words.
Did the people from the Hansen family already know about her affair with Byron?
What if they came for her?
Time was relentless. Regardless of one’s worries or serenity, it flowed on unceasingly.
Soon it was the day before Christmas.
Cora packed up her work and headed to the woodcarving competition for submission.
As she stepped out of the exhibition hall, she bumped into
Jane and Sara.

They were both dressed in luxury custom clothing, looking like sisters, making others envious.
Cora admired their relationship, as it was precisely the kind of mother-daughter bond she longed for.
However, thinking back to how Flora ignored her due to the bad things she had said about Jane when she delivered snacks to Flora’s ward this morning, Cora knew she could never have a relationship with her mother like theirs.
Jane and Sara seemed to notice her intense gaze and approached her.
“Dr. Lane, are you here to submit your work?”
As Jane greeted her, Cora nodded with a smile. “Yes, Dr. Yoris
and Mrs. Sara Yoris are here to submit the work as well,
right?”
“Exactly. We plan to go shopping now,” Jane said.
“It’s truly enviable. I wish I could have such a good relationship with my mother too.” In reality, Cora hoped to seek advice
from Jane on how to build a better relationship with her
mother.
After all, Jane seemed to get along pretty well with both Sara
and Flora.

Unexpectedly, Sara responded arrogantly, “If you were a bit more sensible and didn’t have such unrealistic expectations, maybe your mother wouldn’t hate you so much.”
Sara had heard from Jane about the strained relationship
between Cora and Flora recently.
During their conversation about Sara’s encounter with Cora, Sara also mentioned the past relationship between Flora and William. Then, Jane mentioned the affairs between Cora and Byron but found that Sara already knew about it.
So far, Sara and Jane considered Cora and Flora equally despicable.
However, Jane wouldn’t say such harsh words in front of others, as she knew formidable women were the ones with firm hearts, not the ones more bark than bite.
Sara was different. She didn’t hide her dislike for someone, so
she stared fiercely at Cora.
Cora didn’t expect that her mother’s attitude to her would become someone else’s reason to attack her.
She felt hurt and helpless.
Yet she didn’t want to give Sara and Jane the satisfaction of
Chapter 185 She Is Not Loved
seeing her suffer. With a smile, she retorted, “Maybe that’s true. It seems G d compensated for my lack of motherly
affection with something else.”
