Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Sever Ties With Me

Eason didn't explicitly admit it, but his response was more hurtful than anything Mia could have imagined.

"Mia, I still can't seem to forget about Cora," Eason confessed, delivering a blow to Mia's heart.

At that moment, she thought about just giving him up, once and for all. But she couldn't bring herself to do it. After enduring years of ridicule and scorn, Mia refused to surrender.

"Eason, the doctor said my health is fragile. If I were to have an abortion, I might never be able to conceive again. Please, don't be so cruel," Mia pleaded, hoping to sway his heart.

Yet Eason turned and left without a word.

Later, Lydia paid Mia a visit, expressing her desire to expedite their marriage plans, so they could get it done before pregnancy made things too difficult for Mia.

However, Mia knew very well what was on Lydia's mind. Lydia merely wanted to keep Eason from turning back to Cora and sought to secure a suitable partner for the Patton family.

After her shift at the hospital, Cora walked out, only to be surprised by the sight of a Koenigsegg Agera pulling up in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Byron's handsome face.

"I've dealt with them. If they dare to mess with you again, defend yourself. Slap them back. Don't be afraid."

Caught off guard, Cora raised her head and looked at Byron.

Was he genuinely concerned about her, or was he merely interested in having her and Eason, the ex-couple, having an ugly fight with each other in front of the entire hospital?

Byron spoke again, breaking through her thoughts. "Get in the car."

"...No thanks, I’ll take the bus."

Cora couldn't decipher Byron's intentions. And, the hospital was filled with people who knew them. Being seen together would only fuel the gossip.

Undeterred, Byron drove slowly, keeping pace with her as she walked. With his striking looks and undeniable charm, he effortlessly drew attention from the passersby, almost causing a traffic jam.

Feeling the weight of the situation, Cora reluctantly relented and got into the car.

But she couldn’t help but feel irritated: "What are you trying to pull? Do you want everyone to know something’s going on between us?!"

"What’s the matter?"

"Nothing to you, perhaps! Nothing but another fling to you," Cora retorted, her voice tinged with frustration, "But what about me? If others find out I go out with Eason's uncle so soon after I broke up with Eason, what will they say about me?! It’s not just about my reputation, I might also lose my job at the hospital!"
