The Contracted Ever After (Cordelia and Ronan)

Chapter 463

Why the hell? Why the hell was Tabitha, a mere nurse, carrying Ronan's child?

Tabitha didn't bother with Deanna for the moment. She was a nurse, after all, and there was a first aid

kit at home, filled with scissors, bandages, antiseptics, and all sorts of emergency medicines.

Just as Tabitha was about to reach for the first aid kit, Deanna rushed towards her.

"Don't you dare bandage the kid!"

"Get lost!" Tabitha was also agitated. Tabitha was usually soft-spoken, but she had a strong-willed

personality. Once provoked, she wouldn't hesitate to retaliate.

Who in the world had ever dared to tell Deanna to "get lost?" She clenched the bandages in her hand,

refusing to let Tabitha touch them.

Their squabble made the child cry even louder.

"Buddy, don't cry. Mommy's here," Tabitha comforted the child.

"You slut, you are a disgusting woman. You must've seduced Ronan into bed with you. I'll kill you,"

Deanna said, her eyes red with fury.

For the past few years, she had been out of luck. Her acting career was going nowhere; she was barely

making a living by selling beauty products, and she had been waiting for Ronan and Cordelia to divorce

so she could move up in the world. But now, Tabitha had stolen her thunder by getting pregnant with

Ronan's child. She felt both incompetent and outsmarted.

In her rage, Deanna grabbed the scissors from the first aid kit and lunged at Tabitha, stabbing her

palm. But Tabitha, driven to desperation, snatched the scissors from Deanna and stabbed her in the

chest.

It wasn't until Deanna collapsed in a pool of blood that Tabitha realized what she had done. The blood

seeped into the downstairs apartment, attracting the neighbors' attention.

Tabitha slumped onto the floor, muttering, "I killed her, I killed her."

The child was also stained with blood, crying loudly.

Deanna remained unconscious, but her heart was still beating. By the time Ronan received the phone

call, she was still in critical condition.

Meanwhile, Tabitha was taken into custody, with no one to look after the child. The rumors were that

the child was Ronan's, so the police asked him to return to Millstone.

And all of this was just because Ronan had asked Deanna to deliver some clothes and supplements.

Ronan drove calmly, with Callum already asleep in the back seat. He was perfectly calm. Whether

Tabitha killed Deanna or Deanna killed Tabitha, he could accept either outcome. Either way, it was

killing two birds with one stone.

Deanna had pretended to be his life-saving benefactor, kept him in the dark for years, and tried to kill

his grandfather. Ronan had wanted to kill her then. Later, Leila lied about Deanna being pregnant,

causing Cordelia to give birth prematurely. There was no evidence of these crimes, but she certainly

deserved to die!

Tabitha was likely to spend the rest of her life in prison. In any case, he had gotten rid of two major

problems. As for himself, he knew very well that he wouldn't be affected at all. Everything was just a

quarrel between two jealous women, a spontaneous act of murder, and it had nothing to do with him.

But Tabitha, well, she was somewhat innocent.

......

"Mr. Evans, what should we do? My daughter is in a coma in the hospital, how much will that cost?"

Leila cried at Pearl Palms. "My daughter's life is so hard."

"Don't you have several properties?" Ronan sat on the couch, one leg resting on the other, speaking

calmly. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Leila had a short memory. She had already forgotten how she had lied about Deanna carrying Ronan's

child. Now, she was begging Ronan for help again.

Leila hesitated, "But I'm afraid that even if I sell the houses, it won't be enough."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. You should sell the houses first, and if that's not enough, then

come find me. Even though she wronged me in the past, you can't find anyone else to help, can you?"

Leila was lost for words.

Ronan had already pointed out that Deanna had wronged him. The news of Deanna's severe injury

was a huge blow to Leila. Now she had to sell her houses to save her daughter, so how could she

maintain her "wealthy old lady" façade?

If Ronan still didn't know the truth about the cornea transplant, he would have readily helped. But now,

there was no reason for him to do so.

Leila left.
