Chapter 92 Her Surname Is Lane?
Jane followed William’s gaze and saw Byron slowly walking over from the beach.
Byron seemed to have an innate powerful aura that made it impossible for anyone to ignore his
existence, even from a
distance.
As always, Jane’s heart ski ped a beat when she saw Byron.
But this time, seeing him on the beach, she also felt flustered and restless because Cora was right
behind Byron.
Although they kept a certain distance, it was obvious that they came together.
Did it mean that Byron had been with Cora while he was absent?
Jane was trying so hard to figure it out that she didn’t notice the subtle tremor in William’s voice just
now.
But Sara noticed the change in her husband’s voice and followed his gaze to look at the beach.
Then, she also saw the woman walking with Byron, wearing an off-white dress. She had a graceful
figure as well as a
pretty face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Sara found this pretty face resembled another person’s.
“That woman’s surname is… Lane?”
Sara’s words brought Jane back to her senses, “Mom, do you know her?”
“So her surname is really Lane?” Sara’s expression changed slightly, and then she quickly turned to
William.
But William was gazing toward Byron and Cora, lost in thoughts.
Enter title…
“Yes. She is Dr. Lane and is currently interning in our hospital. She is dating Carter, so I invited her to
my birthday party
this time.”
It sounded like Jane was just explaining Cora’s presence carefully, but in fact, she was trying to
convince herself and her
parents that this was the only reason why Cora was here.
Because she was afraid to find out the truth, and she was also afraid that she would lose Byron.
“Are you sure she’s dating Carter? Why do I feel she and Byron…”
“Mom, don’t say this in front of Carter. He is very protective of Dr. Lane.”
“Is he?”
Sara sounded worried, not paying attention to what Jane said.
Soon, Byron and Cora came to their side.
Cora walked up to Jane first and gave Jane the birthday present she had prepared. “Miss Yoris, happy
birthday.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. It’s just a small object carved by myself. I hope you like it.”
Cora couldn’t come to Jane’s birthday party empty-handed, so she picked out one of the small objects
she carved and
brought it here in a package.
Jane accepted the gift gracefully but then handed it to the housekeeper without even looking at it.
Seeing Jane’s actions, Cora knew she was not interested in her gift.
Seeing the two middle-aged people behind Jane, Cora smiled and nodded at them out of courtesy.
But after she nodded, the expressions of those two people became a little weird.
The man stared at Cora’s face blankly, drifting away in thoughts, while the woman glared at her
resentfully as if she was
going to eat Cora alive.
Cora frowned and thought maybe she had angered them by showing up with Byron just now. So she

didn’t know where the party was just now, and Mr. Hansen happened to be headed here. So I just
came with him.”
Sure enough, Jane and her parents no longer looked so angry when they heard Cora’s words.
But Byron gave Cora a cold glance. “Carter has already prepared the gift, and it will be delivered later.”
Not only did Byron sound polite and alienated, he even asked other people to prepare the gift!
Sara was dissatisfied. No mother would like to see her daughter being treated perfunctorily.
She wanted to ask her husband William for help but found that William was still looking at Cora blankly.
Sara was suddenly overwhelmed by anger and jealousy, but the remaining rationality allowed her to
maintain the reserved
manners of a lady. “I’m sorry, Dr. Lane. We still have to discuss the birthday party arrangement. Can
you please excuse
us?”
Sara was perfectly polite, not showing any of her emotions. So Cora nodded slightly and left.
“Byron, you have been with Jane for a while now. I think it will be a good idea for you two to get
engaged today at the
birthday party. What do you think?”
Sara cut to the chase as soon as Cora left
