Chapter 97 Single or Taken

"By the way, Dr. Lane, our staff haven't been able to find the phone you dropped in the sea two days

ago, so as an apology, I can only buy you a new one."

Jane took out and handed Cora the new phone she had prepared.

As Cora looked at the latest phone, her eyes lit up.

"What's wrong, Dr. Lane? Do you not like it? Should I get you a different one? We really couldn't find

that phone. Our staff searched the beach for a long time but couldn't locate it. It was probably taken

away by the sea during low tide," Jane explained.

In fact, Jane's tone and demeanor were very sincere, and Cora had no definite evidence to prove any

connection between Jane and her lost phone.

Nonetheless, she accepted the new phone with a smile, "No, this phone is pretty good. It's the same

brand as my previous one. Once I log in to my account, I can restore the previous data."

Jane's smile faltered ever so slightly as soon as Cora said so.

Cora, observant underneath her calm exterior, didn't miss the minor change in Jane's expression in that

instant.

Seeing that, she playfully teased, "What is it, Dr. Yoris? Are you very concerned about the recovery of

my phone data? Did you instruct Mia to destroy my phone?"

Jane's heart sank, but she quickly composed herself to show a sincere and friendly attitude.

"Dr. Lane, why would you think so? It is none of my concern if you get to recover your phone data."

"Is that so? I thought you were worried that the audio recording would serve as evidence to expose NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

your true nature, so as a fail-safe, you sent someone to destroy my phone!"

Although Cora was laughing, she was highly vigilant.

"I believe that you keep your word, Dr. Lane, so I am not worried in the slightest."

Jane remained composed, wearing a peaceful and pleasant expression.

"I also trust in your character, Dr. Yoris. But if Mia crosses my boundaries again, I will retaliate.

However, I will still do my best to help keep your reputation clean."

"That's good."

However, Jane felt a chill down her spine when faced with Cora's dazzling smile, even more brilliant

than the sun itself.

Cora wasn't trying to give Mia a taste of her own medicine.

Instead, she was warning Jane to cease ordering Mia to find fault with her, lest she expose the audio

recording, which would bring them down together.

By then, Jane had lost all interest in continuing the conversation with Cora and excused herself,

claiming that she had to check on a patient.

Cora, in turn, returned to Flora's ward after completing her task.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing about Jane's departure, Flora showed a great interest in her affairs.

"Dr. Yoris is really good-looking. She must also be doing well at work, right? By the way, does she have

a boyfriend now? Or is she married?"

Cora had a grudge against Jane because of the latter destroying her phone, so Flora's repeated

mention of Jane infuriated her.

"Could you please stop talking about her? Why are you so interested in her? It's like you think she's

your own daughter!"

In fact, Cora wanted to question Flora if her deep concern for Jane was because she was the daughter

of Flora's first love.

However, considering that bringing up Flora's first love had caused her emotional distress in the past,

Cora chose her words more carefully.

Still, Flora's expression stiffened when she heard that.

Upon noting that, Cora tried to lighten the atmosphere, not wanting to upset her mother further.

"Mom, I'm not trying to make any accusations. I just feel down that you seem to care more about Jane

and haven't been asking about me."

She reminded herself that she couldn't afford to lose her mother after already losing her father.

Again and again, she told herself to let everything else go for Flora's sake.

Thankfully, her words seemed to bring Flora back to her usual self.

"You have nothing to worry about, my dear. I just think that half of your burden would be reduced if she

could save us half of the operation fee. That's why I showed her more care. It's all for your own good,

you know?"

Cora felt touched by her mother's words.

She felt that Flora was genuinely kind to her, even going as far as engaging in a cordial conversation

with the daughter of her first love just to try to lessen her financial burden.

However, Flora suddenly asked, "Why didn't you tell me you have a boyfriend?"
