Chapter 207 Self Respect

Cora had already told Byron before that after they broke up, they should pretend that they didn'tknow each other.

So when he approached her, she calmly walked past him, intending to avoid any interaction.However, Byron seemed to be deliberately annoying her, blocking her path directly.

"New boyfriend?"

His voice was colder than the wind scraping against her face.

Only then did Cora look up at him.

Then, she saw mockery and indifference written all over his face.

After Cora came back to her senses, she realized that Byron had misunderstood her relationshipwith Lucas.

It didn't matter if others misunderstood her, but Byron just couldn't.

Before getting together with Byron, she had never devoted herself to any other man.

If it weren't for his impending engagement, she would have wanted to continue to be with himwithout asking for a commitment.

Yet, he misunderstood her intentions, which made Cora feel insulted.

"Yes, he's not bad-looking, and his figure is on par with yours, Mr. Hansen," Cora respondedsarcastically.

It wasn't clear whether Byron grasped the underlying meaning, but he coldly reminded her, "A girlshould have self-respect.”

"I don't have self-respect, and I'm sure you knew that long ago,” Cora smirked provocatively.

She was referring to their first time sleeping together, which also happened after leaving the bar.That was what Byron cared about most, not wanting anyone to witness her vulnerable andendearing side in that situation.

Some emotions almost broke free from their restraints, and Byron was tempted to pull her back intohis embrace.

However, before he could act, Cora sidestepped him.

"Mr. Hansen, please have some self-restraint. There's no need to meddle with someone like me,who lacks self-respect, after we've broken up. Otherwise, your fiancée might misunderstand,” Corasaid, leaving those words behind as she walked away.

Lucas had already driven his car out of the parking lot by then.

Cora initially didn't want to ride in Lucas's car, but either in defiance of Byron or in her haste toavoid him, she still chose to go with Lucas

Byron watched her sitting in another man’s car, and he couldn't help feeling restless. He lit anothercigarette, trying to calm his inner turmoil...

"Mr. Quinn, can you drop me off at the subway station?"

Cora looked at Byron standing still through the rearview mirror, speaking to Lucas without muchemotion.

"Sure."

Lucas sensed her wariness towards him and didn't engage in any more chatting.

As they approached the subway station, Lucas asked, "Dr. Lane, do you mind if we exchangenumbers?"

Without waiting for Cora's response, he continued, "Sally mentioned that you excel in cardiacsurgery and are planning to specialize in that field. My father recently had a stent implanted..."Cora immediately understood.

When a family member underwent a cardiac procedure, his family often felt anxious and had manyquestions. Thus, many patients’ families would consult her about related issues.

So, even before Lucas finished speaking, Cora took out her phone and added his number to hercontact list.

"Feel free to ask me any questions, Mr. Quinn. I'll share what I know. However, I might be busy atwork sometimes and may not reply promptly.”

"Thank you, Dr. Lane."

They soon arrived at the subway station, and after bidding each other farewell, Cora got out of thecar and joined the rush of people entering the station.

Little did she know that Lucas didn't leave immediately. He waited until her figure disappeared intothe crowd before picking up his phone and looking at the newly added number. A slight smirkappeared on his lips.

In fact, he didn't have a father.
