The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 215

When Cordelia woke up, Ronan was right by her side.

She was lying in bed, and her pillow was completely soaked.

After waking up, she started to recall the events before she passed out.

She wasn't sure how many days she had been out cold.

It all felt like a dream to her.

"I need to call Shelley." Her hand groped for her phone, but couldn't find it.

She wanted to make sure Shelley was at home.

Shelley must be at home and she would call her for dinner.

But she couldn't find her phone.

"Can I borrow your phone to call Shelley?" Cordelia asked Ronan, "I want to know what she is doing at home."

"Cordelia." Ronan said softly, "Don't do this."

"I just want to call Shelley, did I do something wrong? Is it too much to call her?" Cordelia laughed while saying this, but tears streamed down her face.

She looked truly pitiful.

"You should get some rest." Ronan said.

"Shelley is fine at home, right?" She asked, tears pooling in her eyes as she stared intensely at Ronan.

Shelley had passed away, and Cordelia was acting like she had lost her mind.

She had only caught a glimpse of what happened that day. Even though it left a deep impression, she was convinced it was just a dream. It had to be a dream.

Shelley was safe and sound. How could she possibly have fallen from such a high place?

Moreover, how could both Castiel and Shelley fall from a high place? If Castiel was like that, Shelley definitely wouldn't be.

Besides, Shelley was supposed to remodel a room for Adrian. She couldn't possibly just fall down. It was impossible.

"Is Shelley at home?" Cordelia suddenly gripped Ronan's arm tightly and asked loudly.

"Yes, she's fine. You lie down and rest, I'll handle the rest." Ronan said.

Cordelia felt it getting harder to breathe.

"Where were you that day?" Cordelia's thoughts were a bit jumbled, as she asked him.

"Which day?" Ronan asked.

"The day I took a taxi to Sunridge Estates, were you there too? I think I saw you." Cordelia was hoping it was all a dream, all a lie.

"I was at the company." Ronan answered.

Cordelia let out a sigh of relief, "I knew it was a dream. Tell Shelley to call me."

"Alright, you rest first." Ronan said.

Cordelia placed Ronan's hand on her chest, then she fell asleep.

She didn't know that she had been asleep for three days.

During these three days, Cordelia was speaking nonsensically, constantly dreaming. In her dreams, Shelley bought her new clothes. She was playing with Adrian, and got a hundred percent on her test. Shelley rewarded her.

It was raining in her dream, she was cooking for Castiel at home. Shelley was patching her backpack when Castiel came home. He didn't have an umbrella or a raincoat. After he came in, Cordelia scolded him, "How come you don't have an umbrella or a raincoat again, I'm gonna get mad."
