The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 43

After sorting out the business, the three of them all came back together. She was now scared to

interact with Ronan, not knowing how many secrets he could extract from her.

When Ronan got home, Janice told him that Mrs. Evans had sent her a message that day. Checking

the timestamp of the message, Ronan commented coldly, "She's quick to react, no wonder she's so

frank."

Less than a week later, Ronan's secretary personally delivered a donation certificate to Cordelia:

Mr. Ronan, Miss Cordelia:

The 200 computers that you donated to Evergreen Primary School have been distributed to the

students.

Thank you very much!

Looking at this certificate, Cordelia had mixed feelings. She had originally hoped her name would be

alongside Logan's, but now it had been replaced by Ronan's.

Just now, Ronan's secretary personally delivered the certificate, and everyone was curious. They all

gathered around to see what it was. When they saw "Mr. Ronan, Miss Cordelia," their expressions

froze. It seemed that Ronan and Cordelia didn't break up, but were getting closer.

Everyone, especially Jordan, was shocked. His previous attitude towards Cordelia was a bit too

extreme and needed to be corrected.

The next day, Jordan told Cordelia that she had become the new Lumos Star.

Cordelia knew this was just Jordan trying to please Ronan and lost interest, not caring too much about

it.

Jordan also informed Ronan, who didn't respond.

That day, Cordelia received a call from Ronan in the office. "Hello, Mr. Evans." Since everyone in the

office knew, Cordelia just directly addressed him as "Mr. Evans".

Sure enough, everyone in the office perked up their ears.

"My grandfather fainted, but I'm out of town for a meeting. Can you go home and check on him?" Even

though the situation was urgent, Ronan's voice was still calm.

"What?" Cordelia cared a lot about Barney and immediately agreed, "I'll take a leave right away."

After ending the call with Ronan, Cordelia went to ask Jordan for leave. Jordan immediately agreed

and told Cordelia to take care and come back when things were sorted out.

When Cordelia arrived at Pearl Palms, she saw Deanna taking care of Barney. She did seem to come NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

quite frequently. If it weren't for her deep affection for Barney, Cordelia wouldn't want to go in under

these circumstances.

She quietly walked over to Deanna.

Deanna was using a wet towel to wipe Barney's lips, afraid they would get too dry.

"Why are you only here now?" Deanna reproached, "Thankfully we have medical equipment at home.

The doctor said Barney's blood sugar dropped, and they've already given him glucose."

"This isn't a movie. You're not doing this professionally. Let me do it." Cordelia said lightly.

She could tell at a glance that Deanna was just pretending to be caring. Maybe that was how she did it

while acting, but this was not how to take care of a real patient.

"Well, really? I'm not familiar with taking care of the sick, I don't have experience, you do it then."

Deanna said, smiling as she left her seat and stood next to Cordelia.

Cordelia carefully wiped Barney's lips. She had taken care of her father for several days and her

mother for six years. Despite her young age, Cordelia had a lot of experience taking care of bedridden

patients. Even though Deanna's words seemed fine, Cordelia could hear the sarcasm in them.

Deanna felt a bit ashamed seeing how Cordelia took care of Barney compared to her own method.

"Ronan really didn't choose wrong. If it were me, I couldn't do these things." Deanna said with a smile,

"If something happened to Barney, I might not be up to the task, but you're different. You're like a real

nurse."

Deanna's words were clear. Ronan marrying Cordelia was like marrying a nurse. Moreover, it sounded

like it wasn't Ronan who didn't want to marry Deanna, but Deanna who didn't want to marry.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Deanna flicked her hair with her right hand as she spoke. A

shiny bracelet on her wrist was exposed in front of Cordelia. And on it, the two names were clearly

visible, a combination of Ronan and Deanna's names.

Cordelia knew exactly why Deanna was flaunting this in front of her.

Combining Deanna's words from earlier, Cordelia speculated that Ronan might have informed Deanna

about their agreement to get married. Perhaps he intended to marry Deanna in the future and had

asked her to be patient, assuring her that he would soon divorce.
