Chapter 191


    "Ronan, you..." Deanna covered her face, addressing Ronan.


    Deanna knew Ronan was very close to his grandfather, but she never thought he wouldy a hand on


    her.


    "Get lost! And clear out the Sunnydale Meadows house. Send the keys to my office."


    Deanna couldn''t keep her cool, so she left. Angrily, she returned to the car.


    "How did it go?" Samantha asked hopefully.


    "p!" Deanna delivered a loud p to Samantha''s face. She, a star, had been pped by Ronan. So


    why wouldn''t the assistant who gave her bad advice get the same treatment?


    Samantha''s face ached. She covered it with her hand, biting her lower lip as tears of humiliation rolled


    into her mouth.


    "Your advice sucks!" Deanna told Samantha. "Are you Cordelia''s mole and here to sabotage my ns


    on purpose?”


    “No!” Samantha’s voice was low but firm.


    “All your bonuses this month are cancelled unless youe up with a good idea to force Cordelia and


    Ronan to divorce right away!"


    Samantha''s heart hardened. She thought to herself, not only will Cordelia be ruined, but so will you,


    Deanna!


    ...


    Cordelia helped Barney back to his room. Ronan checked on his grandfather and then returned to the


    living room.


    Ronan knew Barney''s act of ying sick, but he was genuinely worried about his health. He lit up a


    cigarette.


    Meanwhile, in Barney''s room.


    "De, how was my acting?" Barney asked Cordelia.


    "Barney, you..." Cordelia''s heart almost jumped out earlier, fearing something would happen to Barney.


    "I used to be part of the drama club when I was young. I purposely angered Ronan just now to break


    him and Deanna up, so she wouldn''t keep meddling with you two. She already considers herself the


    Cordelia didn''t know what to say.


    "But, De," Barney suddenly became serious. "Ronan never told me about his corneal transnt,


    probably because he was worried about his grandmother and me. He always keeps things to himself,

    not letting us know. You need to understand him more and take good care of him."


    "Okay. I know," Cordelia replied. She noticed Barney''s health was deteriorating despite his constant


    smiling. After all, he had lung cancer.


    "Also," Barney took out a small notebook from the bedside drawer. "This is Ronan''s parents'' contact


    information. Call them and ask them toe back. Even if Ronan doesn''t want them back, they should


    "Ronan won''t let theme back?" Cordelia asked, thinking, he sure liked to be in control. He was


    even controlling his own parents.


    Noticing Barney''s awareness of his health condition, Cordelia felt a wave of sadness.


    Cordelia looked down at the notebook. It was Olen and Amanda''s overseas phone numbers. "Does


    Ronan know about this?" Cordelia asked Barney.


    "Ronan doesn''t want to know." Barney waved his hand. "That''s all in the past. Even though Ronan


    doesn''t want them back, I''m getting old and might not be able to wait much longer."


    "Then... can I call them now?" Cordelia asked. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.


    "Go ahead and call. Ronan won''t call them. Even if I call them, they won''te back. They feel a bit


    ashamed facing me," Barney said.


    Cordelia dialed Olen''s number, feeling a bit nervous.


    Soon, the call was picked up on the other end. "Hello," a man''s voice came over the phone.


    "Hello..." Cordelia was at a loss for words. "I''m Ronan''s wife, my name is Cordelia. I guess I''m also


    your daughter-inw."
