Chapter 238 Invitation Card
“Cora, what’s wrong? I’m still at the office working overtime. There was an issue with the code today. By the way, have you finished work?”
Lucas’ voice sounded h arse, revealing his exhaustion.
Cara paused for a moment, inexplicably recalling what Byron had said earlier about Lucas being with another woman.
But she quickly dismissed those thoughts.
“Lucas, did you forget that we had an appointment for dinner today?”
“Ah! I actually forgot. I’m sorry, Cora. Are you still at the
restaurant”
Lucas seemed a bit anxious.
Looking at the nearby restaurant, Cora replied hurriedly, “No, I waited for a while, but you didn’t show up, so I came back.”
“I’m sorry, Cora. I got too caught up with work and accidentally put my phone on silent.”

“It’s alright. Just go home and rest early after work.”

Cora’s smile faded as soon as she ended the call. Amidst the
bustling streets, she felt lost, unsure of where to go.
After that day, Cora also doubted whether Byron’s words
about Lucas being with another woman were true, and she
considered whether she should apologize to Byron for her
outburst.
However, in the end, Cora did nothing.
After all, she had already made up her mind to have no
further contact with Byron, so whether she apologized or not
didn’t matter.
As for the matter of another woman around Lucas, Cora still
wanted to find out more before making any conclusions. But to her surprise, someone took the initiative to hand her an
invitation card.
“Dr. Lane, thank you for treating my wound. As a return, I’d like to give you this.”
The woman offering the invitation card was named Chloe
Hurst.
She was brought to the hospital earlier this day after trying to commit suicide by slitting her wrist and received treatment

from Cora.

Her wound was not severe, so her complexion had already returned to normal, and she seemed to be in good spirits.
“Ms. Hurst, there’s no need to thank me. It’s my duty.”
Cora declined politely.
In fact, just as Chloe did, many patients’ families had secretly tried to give her money as a token of gratitude and to seek her help during their time at the hospital.
But Cora always refused, as saving lives and helping others were her responsibility.
However, Chloe was persistent and directly grabbed her hand, placing the invitation card in her palm.
“Please take it. It’s not something expensive, just the invitation for an event hosted by Calligraphy Association.”
Cora unconsciously sized up Chloe. She had the same elegant aura as her name suggested.
And her hairstyle made her look particularly fashionable and stunning.
Given all these and her cheerful smile, it was hard to imagine

that she had resorted to wrist-slitting.

Despite a good impression, Cora couldn’t accept something with an unclear origin. “I’m not interested in attending such events. Please enjoy it yourself, Ms. Hurst.”
Just as Cora returned the invitation card to Chloe and was ready to leave, Chloe suddenly said, “Don’t you want to know what Lucas has been up to lately?”
Cora turned back to face her, slightly frowning.
Chloe couldn’t mention Lucas for no reason. Was she seeking treatment at the hospital with ulterior motives?
“Did you slit your wrist just to hand me an invitation card?”
Cora didn’t want to dwell on it, finding the woman’s behavior
quite insane.
“Dr. Lane, you are indeed clever,” Chloe admitted openly, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be challenging Cora. “So, will
you come?”
“I will, considering you went to such lengths to invite me,” Cora
said.
Given such a mad woman, Cora was afraid she might resort
to even crazier actions if she didn’t attend.

“Good. Then I’ll go back first, looking forward to meeting you
again, Dr. Lane.”
With that, Chloe left quickly, leaving Cora staring at the
invitation card in her hand…
