Chapter 201 Disappeared

The evening of the second day of the Christmas holiday, Cora still hadn't received a reply fromByron.

She stared at the empty chat box and couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"Is he really that busy? Too busy to even reply with a single word?"

Indeed, since leaving early on Christmas morning, Byron had disappeared without a trace. He hadn'tsent Cora any messages during his absence either.

And throughout this period, Cora had been waiting for him at home, except for her visits to thehospital to see Flora.

But this kind of waiting continued until the fifth day of the Christmas holiday, with no sign of himappearing or replying.

Her eager heart seemed to gradually lose its enthusiasm in this long wait.

So, on this evening, Cora sent another message to Byron.

[If you don't want to help me, just say so. There's no need to disappear.]

She could still send the message successfully, but as expected, it also sank into oblivion.

Cora couldn't help feeling annoyed and thought, "You won't reply to my messages? Fine, I won'tbother you either. When you come back and want to make up with me, I will definitely ignore you!"With such thoughts in mind, Cora returned to work at the hospital.

Starting from the sixth day of the holiday, the hospital was bustling again, and even the emergencyroom had more patients than usual.

While being swamped, Cora's concern for Byron seemed to diminish.

However, when she returned to her empty apartment, loneliness pounced on her like a lurkingbeast, tearing apart her self-proclaimed facade of toughness into pieces.

She missed him so much.

So much that it was even suffocating!

She even set aside her pride and took the initiative to call him.

Yet, the person on the other end of the line still didn't answer...

So, she couldn't help but wonder if Byron was away on another business trip like before. Was he toobusy to care about her feelings?

Truly, this was the first time love had tortured her like this.

Even during her passionate romance with Eason, she had never experienced such burning and lung-scratching longing.

And so, in the end, she couldn't control herself. On the eighth day of the holiday, which happenedto be her day off, she dressed seductively and went to the Hansen Group building.

"I'd like to see Mr. Hansen," she politely greeted the receptionist.

"Did you make an appointment?" The receptionist looked at her devilish figure outlined by the pink-blue knit dress and couldn't help showing a tinge of disdain.

"No, but please tell Mr. Hansen that my last name is Lane."

Cora didn't dare to consider herself too important. She just thought that since she and Byron hadmade so many loving memories in bed, he would agree to see her.

"I'm sorry, but we receive many people like you every day. If we report every one of them to theupper management, we won't be able to handle the workload.”

Cora frowned at her words. She asked, "But I really need to meet Mr. Hansen. Can you please lethim know?"

"Sorry. Please come back after you make an appointment.” The receptionist's refusal made Coraeven more helpless.

But she didn't want to make this trip in vain. So, she took out her phone and called Carter.

"Miss Lane?" Carter sounded somewhat surprised when he received Cora's call.

"Carter, I'm downstairs at the Hansen Building. Um... could you do me a favor and take me up to seeMr. Hansen?"

Cora felt a little embarrassed and inappropriate for showing up like this.

But she couldn't stop missing Byron, so despite the awkwardness, she voiced her desire.

Carter hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I'll come right away."
