Chapter 149 Make A Trade-off

“To what extent?” “He already sent people to follow Miss Lane.” When Carter said so, Byron parked the car on the side of the road, smoked a cigarette irritably, and did not respond to Carter for a long time. If it weren’t for the sound of vehicles pa*sing by from the phone, Carter would think the phone had been hung up. Byron didn’t answer Carter for a long time, so Carter couldn’t help reminding him, “Mr. Hansen, it’s time to make a trade-off.” “Well, I see." The man was smoking a cigarette, watching the smoke blow away by the cold wind, and his eyes gradually dimmed. On the first day of the Christmas holiday, Cora went to the hospital to visit Flora. At this time, the wards of many departments were empty because most people had gone home. Because of Matt’s hand injury, Flora’s second skin grafting operation had not yet been performed. When Cora opened the door and walked in, Flora was knitting something. “Mom, merry Christmas.” Cora put the fruit she had brought on the table and sat beside Flora. “What are you doing?” “I want to make a scarf,” Flora said. “Is it for me?” Cora looked at the pattern Flora was knitting, a cartoon picture that young girls recently liked. A surprise flashed in her eyes. She had never worn a scarf in front of Flora, but Flora didn’t like cartoon pictures either. So she thought that Flora had made it for her. She thought Flora must want to please her because Jane annoyed her that day! The more Cora thought about it, the happier she felt because this was the first time she would receive something made by her mother, and it felt like the relationship between her and her mother had been completely restored. Cora kept looking at the cartoon patterns made by Flora and didn’t pay attention to Flora’s unnatural expression. The more Cora looked at it, the more delighted she was. She even reached out to touch the pattern. Although Flora was not so skilled, in Cora’s eyes, the pattern was really beautiful. But as soon as she touched the pattern, Flora slapped her hands. “Your hands are dirty. Don’t touch it.”
