The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan) novel Chapter 484

Cordelia stepped out of Victoria's office and into the corridor.

"What's the diagnosis?" Ronan asked Cordelia.

"See for yourself." Cordelia handed the medical record to Ronan with a cold expression. "You go fetch the medication."

"Torn." Ronan read out the words, speaking in a way that was far from serious, "How tight was it, to be torn?"

Cordelia rolled her eyes. After three years, such crude language still flowed smoothly from his lips, without any effort.

Ronan fetched a tube of ointment from the pharmacy for Cordelia, which was to be applied twice daily to the affected area.

"Do I need to apply this for you?" In the car, Ronan continued to tease Cordelia, "Otherwise, how will you see where the wound is?"

"No need. I'm planning to head back to Birchwood this afternoon or tomorrow. I have to prepare for my classes, and I have research to do. I’m busy."

"So soon? Absence makes the heart grow fonder. We've been apart for three years, and after one night of marital bliss, this happens?" Ronan was in high spirits, his tone much gentler, even in the mood to tease Cordelia.

Cordelia, on the other hand, was not in the mood to joke around. Although she had feelings for Ronan three years ago, it was only natural to fall in love with him after they got married. However, as she got to know him better, Cordelia started to doubt his methods and character. Falling for someone started with their appearance, then you were captivated by their talent, and finally you stayed for their character.

In the first two aspects, Ronan was undoubtedly outstanding, almost bringing Cordelia to a state of emotional confusion and infatuation. But as for the last aspect, she had serious doubts about his character and personality. Even if he did it for her, she could not forgive him. Deanna and Tabitha, despite their grave sins, did not need him to judge them. Moreover, she still remembered the record regarding her mom’s incident, which he didn't do for Cordelia, but for his father.

Therefore, Cordelia could be Callum's mother, but not Ronan's wife.

Once home, Cordelia took the ointment and headed upstairs. The ointment read, "Apply twice daily to the affected area." Cordelia could feel where the wound was, even if she couldn't see it.

She went to the bathroom, and just as she was taking off her clothes to apply the ointment, Ronan walked in.

Cordelia was taken aback.

"How did you get in here?" She quickly pulled up her pants and asked Ronan.
