Chapter 319 Coming to Light

Cora's footsteps came to a halt, and she felt as though Byron's deep and aloof gaze was scrutinizingher discreetly at that moment.

She wondered if some part of her conversation with Evelyn just now had made him unhappy.

As she pondered over the question, Byron extinguished his cigarette and approached her. "Let'shead back."

"Sure." Since he said nothing, Cora didn't dwell on it too much

Besides, Cora noticed that Evelyn was still watching them, so she wanted to show off the tight-knitbond shared between Byron and herself.

Thus, she smiled and took Byron's arm in front of Evelyn, engaging in light-hearted conversationwith him before bidding farewell to Byron's parents and leaving the mansion.

While on their way back, Byron suddenly asked her, "Is the matter resolved?"

After considering for a moment, Cora figured he was referring to the issue of her being suspendedfrom work due to the sexual photos of her that someone posted.

It seemed that he had overheard a lot of her conversation with Evelyn while standing in the nearbycorner.

"Yeah, it should be resolved now." Cora knew Evelyn would resolve the matter in order to keep hergold medal.

After saying that, Byron fell into a long silence and even lit a cigarette.

The atmosphere in the small space of the car became so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

Cora briefly considered asking him if something she said had upset him.

However, she figured it might be unnecessary after some thought.

If he had overheard their earlier conversation, then he must have heard that Nora was trying to helpEvelyn become his wife.

Since he wasn't inclined to explain it to her, she wasn't about to butt into his business, especiallygiven how inconsequential they were.

The heavy atmosphere persisted until they returned to the apartment. Once they were inside andthe door closed, Byron pinned her against the wall...

As usual, they were good together in bed, but Cora couldn't shake the feeling that Byron seemed tobe putting in more effort that night, leaving her a bit stiff in the waist the next day.

Originally, she had planned to rest at home in the morning, but a call came from the hospital askingfor her return.

Cora had to freshen up quickly and head straight to William's office upon arriving at the hospital.William was also seeing patients that day. When Cora entered his office, he still had a patient withhim, so he nodded at her. "Have a seat first. Let's talk once I'm done with this patient.”

Cora nodded and waited at the back, unable to help but observe William quietly.

Having been pampered for most of his life and taking good care of himself, he still looked youthfuldespite nearing fifty.

The white coat he wore added a touch of aloofness to his already handsome face.

In essence, he looked fundamentally different from the people who hailed from wealthy families.Cora suddenly understood why Flora would still miss him even after all that time and wasexceptionally nice to his daughter.

"Remember to get plenty of rest after taking the medicine. You will also have to come back to thehospital for regular check-ups.”

William gave the patient some prescriptions and offered some advice. The patient left after thankinghim.

He then gestured for Cora to take a seat in front of him. "The person who posted the photo handedhimself over to the higher-ups today. He admitted that he sought revenge because he couldn'thandle being rejected after confessing his love to you."

Seeing that Cora remained indifferent and didn't respond, he continued, "He has already apologizedand written an apology letter. We will make a public statement and release his letter to clarify thesituation. So, you can return to work in the emergency room later.”

He was expecting Cora to be satisfied with the resolution of the incident. However, she soundedsomewhat mocking when she spoke next.

"But I don't even know that person. Shouldn't you have nailed down the culprit who instructed himto do that and made a police report before issuing a statement?”
