Chapter 201
At night, Ronan was on top of Cordelia , teasing her.
"You''ve got a cold." Cordelia instinctively pushed him away.
He didn''t have any serious symptoms, just a raspy voice.
"I''m worried you''ll wear yourself out." Cordelia said.
"I don''t feel that tired, actually."
They were talking when suddenly a man''s noise came from downstairs. Ronan stopped in his tracks,
frowned, and said, "I''ll go check it out." With that, he went downstairs.
Cordelia finally let out a sigh of relief, crawled into bed, and tried to fall asleep before Ronan came
back. Not long after, the reprimanding sound from downstairs made Cordelia''s body shiver. It seemed
like it was Ronan scolding his father.
Cordelia had never seen such a father-son rtionship, the father being scolded by the son but not
saying a word.
"You just left like that back then, now who are you trying to scare bying back?"
"I don''t want to hear your voice again!"
Even Barney heard. Ronan had a few words with his grandfather downstairs.
……
Cordelia got scared straight. By the time Ronan came back, he was leaning against the headboard,
irritably lighting a cigarette.
Cordelia cautiously pulled at him.
"Honey, you should sleep first." He stroked Cordelia''s head.
"Your dad……what''s wrong with him?" Cordelia asked Ronan with wide eyes.
"He has a serious mental illness, triggered by seeing people from the past." Ronan took a deep puff of
his cigarette, "Today, he saw the father and son from the Colby family ."
"So has he been abroad getting treatment?" Cordelia asked again.
"Yes, he''s pretty much recovered. On normal days, he''s just like anybody else. He''s been teaching
abroad."
Cordelia thought for a while, then fell asleep, but she didn''t sleep well all night. When she woke up the
next day, Cordelia saw that Ronan was still asleep. She had no idea what time he had gone to bed the
night before.
Cordelia touched his forehead, which was hot.
"You have a fever." Cordelia nudged Ronan.
Maybe it was the rainst night, he had already caught a bit of a cold. The heating in the house had
stopped, the cold wind howled all night, and he hadn''t worn much when he went downstairs.
Cordelia quickly got up and went downstairs to get him some medicine.
Janice called her from the kitchen.
"De, Ronan might have a cold, I made him some chicken soup, I''m afraid if I give it to him, he won''t
drink it. Could you give it to him instead?" Amanda whispered.
Cordelia was taken aback, then said Sure.
People always said that parents were the greatest, that no matter how their children treated them, they
would give selflessly.
Looking at Amanda''s hopeful gazes, Cordelia''s heart softened.
Amanda should have noticed that Ronan caught a coldst night. So she made him some chicken
soup.
As soon as Cordelia finished speaking, Shelley called Cordelia.

"Mom." Cordelia walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, asking, "What''s up?"
"De, is it a good time to call you right now?" Shelley asked with a hint of awkwardness.
"Sure, what''s on your mind?"
"If you''re free tonight, could youe home? I need to talk to you about something."
Cordelia replied, "Sure, I''m usually free after work."
After hanging up the phone, Cordelia returned to the kitchen. "I just touched his forehead, it''s a bit hot."
Cordelia told Amanda.
"It''s okay, I''ve added some fever reducer. He caught a coldst night, and with this chilly weather, he
even went downstairs." Amanda said this with a hint of pity in her voice, "The spring weather is still
quite cold."
When Amanda said this, her voice was choked up, which almost made Cordelia cry as well. "Alright, I''ll
take it to him." With that, Cordelia carried a bowl of steaming soup upstairs.
