The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 237

Ronan's car arrived at the hospital. When he entered Cordelia's room, she was still asleep. In her advanced stage of pregnancy, she could only sleep on her side, her hand cradling her belly. Tears were streaming down her face, her lips silently mouthing the word "Mom."

She must have been missing her mother again.

Ronan wiped away the tears from her cheeks. Just a light touch was enough to wake her up. She shrank back as if avoiding a plague.

"Why are you here? Have you given the files to Brenda?" Cordelia asked Ronan. Her eyebrows tightly furrowed.

"I did. Is the project all you care about?" Ronan asked casually, pulling up a chair to sit down.

"All the people I could care about in this world are gone." Cordelia said mournfully. In other words, Ronan was not on her list of people to care about. Whether he lived or died didn't matter to her.

Being pregnant, Cordelia had to sleep on her side, but she didn't want to be rude to Ronan, who had come to visit her, so she chose to face him. However, she closed her eyes, refusing to engage in conversation with him.

"Cordelia, how are you?" A worried voice came from the door.

Cordelia opened her eyes to see Jamie standing at her bedside.

"How are you?" Jamie instinctively grabbed one of Cordelia's hands. "Why didn't you tell me that something so big happened?"

He had been out of town on a business trip and had rushed to the hospital straight from the airport. Jamie looked petrified.

"I'm fine," Cordelia said with a smile.

"What would I do if something happened to you? And the babies? You shouldn't work anymore. I'll take care of you," Jamie said, looking fretful.
