Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Do Not Meddle

After Jane's birthday party, Cora returned to work at the hospital.

As for Byron, he never visited Cora again after they parted ways that day after their quarrel over the incident about William.

Cora didn't have time to contemplate ending the relationship because Flora's surgery was already scheduled.

So early that morning, she arrived at the burns unit to discuss the details regarding the surgery with Matt.

"Dr. Yoris is talking to your mother about the operation. The hospital is holding a charity event, and your mother would likely want to participate in it. By then, she would be eligible to have half of the operation fees waived."

As soon as Matt finished speaking, Cora's face paled slightly, and she asked, "Dr. Yoris? Which Dr. Yoris?"

She dreaded it to be William.

"It's Doctor Jane Yoris. She is in charge of the charity event." Matt noticed something was amiss about Cora. "What is it?"

"Matt, I'll go check on my mother first."

Although it wasn't William but Jane who was with Flora, Cora felt even more anxious because of Jane's relationship with Mia.

Cora slapped Mia at the birthday party, so Jane might turn to target Flora, seeking revenge for her close friend.

Cora soon arrived at Flora's ward.

Recently, Flora's condition had improved a great deal, so she had been transferred from a clean room to a general ward.

When Cora arrived, she saw Jane wearing a white coat and chatting with Flora.

Flora wore a bright smile on her face, which Cora hadn't seen in a while. She wondered what the two were talking about.

"Mom, Dr. Yoris, can I join your conversation?"

Although Flora's smile eased some of the tension in Cora, she still had her guard up while around Jane.

Her wariness was apparent in the way she positioned herself between the two women.

Flora thanked her and expressed her desire for Jane to visit her. She even offered to prepare some fruits for Jane. Then, she asked Cora to see Jane off.

Cora wanted Jane to leave as soon as possible, so she escorted her right away.

"I appreciate the sentiment, Dr. Yoris, but I can take care of my mother."

It wasn't until they were at the overpass leading to the emergency room that Cora spoke.

More than half of the operation fee being waived was indeed a tempting offer, given Cora's financial situation.

However, she didn't appreciate it being at the cost of having Jane constantly visiting her mother. It didn't only annoy her, but it felt like she would be betraying her deceased father.

"Dr. Lane, there are no strings attached to this offer. We should show you some appreciation after all the hard work you have done for the hospital. That is why we'll prioritize your family members whenever these activities are being held. I was merely giving your mother a heads-up," Jane explained.

She seemed sincere, her eyes bright and innocent, much like when she defended Mia that day.

If she hadn't given Cora a new phone out of the blue, Cora would have wondered if she had been vilifying Jane...
