Chapter 245


    Ronan had been holding the brewed medicine, and Cordelia was staring at the cup as if in a trance.


    "What would I have done to resort to such desperate measures?" he asked Cordelia.


    Caught off guard by Ronan''s prating question, Cordelia suddenly felt her face flush. If he hadn''t


    resorted to desperate measures but indeed had personally made the herbal tea for her, she should be


    grateful.


    "Thank you." Cordelia finally let out a sigh of relief and started drinking the medicine.


    Ronan watched her until she finished thest sip. "Sleep now." He took the cup from her and turned off

    the light for her.


    Cordelia heard him go to the kitchen before returning to the room next door. Only then did she fall


    asleep. Perhaps the medicine Dr. Krueger prescribed to her contained a sleep aid because she fell


    asleep quickly.


    When she woke up, she felt much lighter.


    Cordelia immediately felt her stomach, which seemed normal. Then, she sent the two prescriptions Dr.


    Krueger had given her to Victoria, asking her to check if there was anything unusual about them.


    Victoria didn''t respond immediately, possibly busy with work or consulting a coworker. She was


    studying obstetrics and gynecology, so she might not have understood this herbal medicine.


    Cordelia took her phone to the dining table.


    Ronan hadn''t gone to work. He was sitting at the table, probably having just woken up. As soon as


    Cordelia sat down, he put his hand on her forehead. His hand was warm, and Cordelia felt a tingling


    sensation all over her body when he touched her. "No fever," he mumbled to himself.


    "Hmm."


    "Did you sweatst night after taking the medicine?" he asked casually while eating a dumpling.


    "Uh-huh, it''s almost all better now." Although Cordelia felt better, she felt weak and shaky. Her hand


    trembled as she picked up a sausage. The sausages were so small. At this moment, Ronan picked up


    a sausage for her and ced it on the small te in front of her.


    Cordelia was a bit startled. A warm feeling surged from her heart, but then she thought of her mother,


    Adrian''s plight, and Kendra''s dead child, all thanks to this man.


    "Where''s Janice?" Cordelia asked Ronan while eating her sausage.


    "She went out to get your medicine."


    Cordelia continued eating her sausage and sipping her cereal. Her phone buzzed a few times. Cordelia


    didn''t react at first, lost in her thoughts.


    Ronan only nced at it, and the content on Cordelia''s phone screen entered his sight. The sender


    was Victoria. [Cordelia, I asked an experienced herbal medicine practitioner at our hospital. He said


    these are all herbal medicines for treating colds and flu, and whoever prescribed them was very careful


    they do not harm pregnant women. You should be safe.]


    Cordelia suddenly remembered that it might have been a message from Victoria. By the time she


    looked at her phone, she found that Ronan had already seen it. He might not have been able to read


    the entire content from the phone''s screen, but being as smart as he was, he certainly guessed it. She


    looked awkward and extremely embarrassed.


    "If you continue to be so paranoid, be careful I might really abort your babies!" Ronan growled.


    Cordelia shuddered at his words. It seemed like he could read her thoughts like an open book. Living


    with him, she felt constantly on edge. Cordelia thought many times to tell him the truth to avoid the


    constant worry, but thinking of her mother''s death, she couldn''t reconcile with it.


    Janice returned, breaking the tense atmosphere between them. "Cordelia, I''ll go prepare your


    medicine," Janice said cheerfully before heading into the kitchen.


    Cordelia felt cooped up at home all day. Ronan was also often home, keeping her constantly on edge,


    which wasn''t good for the twins in her womb.


    Cordelia wanted to go out, but she was afraid of a repeat incident like when Manda pushed her. If she


    fell and hurt herself, it could be catastrophic. After all, she was carrying twins and was much heavier


    than usual.


    "Can you get me a car and a driver?" After some thought, Cordelia made a request to Ronan.


    "nning to go out?" Ronan asked her.


    "Not just today, but in the future. I can''t stay cooped up here twenty-four hours a day, can I? I have


    work to do too." Cordelia responded.


    Ronan looked her up and down, his gazending on her belly. Then he drawled, "Are you very worried


    about these two babies?"
