Chapter 466 She Saw His Goodness, She Wasn't Blind

Corona's small face was as white as if it had been dusted with a layer of flour. She pressed hard against the table beside her, but her body was still shaky and unstable.

Back then, Devon had threatened her with her grandmother for a long time.

She no longer wanted to let him hold her vulnerabilities in his hands.

So, she gritted her teeth and told him that after her grandmother died, she had no relatives left, and he could no longer threaten her.

After she found her uncle who had been lost in the earthquake, she racked her brains to keep Devon from finding out.

Her uncle had fallen seriously ill, and she had been working hard to earn money, secretly paying for his treatment. She even dared not send her uncle to a better hospital, for fear of being discovered by Devon.

But in the end, he still tightened his grip on her soft spot again.

"Mr. Burke, what on earth do you want to do?! I won't allow you to harm my uncle!"

"Corona, you've caused severe damage to Linda's uterus. I won't make you compensate her with a uterus, but now, you must come over here and serve her like a beast of burden!"

"I never harmed Linda!" Corona almost croaked out, "Mr. Burke, I never harmed her! You have no right to treat me like this! You have even less right to hurt my uncle!"

Devon seemed not to have heard Corona's words and spoke on his own, "The expert prescribed medicine for Linda. She said there's still a chance for her uterus to recover. However, she needs to take good care of herself for the next two weeks. Any anger or mishap could ruin all the progress."

"Corona, this is, an opportunity for you to make up for your mistakes!"

"One hour, I'm giving you one hour! If you can't make it here within an hour, I'll deliver to you, your uncle's ashes!"

"Devon! You bastard!"

The phone on the other end had been hung up heavily. Corona stared at the slowly darkening phone screen, her body went limp, unable to restrain herself from sliding onto the ground.

How come such days had no end!

She really hated being threatened by others, and she hated even more the feeling of having to repeatedly bow her head and apologize to the person she despised the most, even when she knew she was not in the wrong. But what could she do? She was even more afraid that her loved ones would die because of her.

"Corona, how are you? Get up quickly!"

Penelope wanted to help Corona up, but at the moment, she couldn't muster much strength, she couldn't lift her up, she could only watch her slump on the ground, like a rag doll without a soul.

Corona stared expressionlessly at the completely blackened phone screen for a long time. Suddenly, she burst into tears with a loud cry.

She hugged Penelope tightly, "Penelope, on what grounds! Tell me, on what grounds!"

"In the past, he took advantage of my affection for her, he bullied me over and over again for Linda, my grandmother has already been killed by him, I don't like him anymore, why does he still bully me like this!"

"Corona, don't be upset, we'll figure something out, Uncle will definitely be okay!"

Corona shook her head gently. She knew Devon's character better than anyone else. She feared that by this time, her uncle had probably already left the original hospital and fallen into his hands.

He was determined to exploit her weaknesses, leaving her in a state where she could neither live nor die!

Corona wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes forcefully, "Penelope, I'm going to bring Uncle back!"

"Corona, I went with you!"

"Penelope, if you had gone with me, he wouldn't have let me see my uncle. Penelope, don't worry, I would have been fine, I would have taken care of myself."

Saying this, Corona removed Penelope's hand, straightened her back, stood up, and began to walk step by step towards the outside of the small apartment.

Kinship, which is inherently precious, is especially so for the kinship that survived a devastating earthquake.

Once, she had the happiest family in the world, a loving grandmother, parents who adored her, and also, a gentle and kind uncle, an optimistic and amiable aunt, and a naive and adorable cousin.

And then?

A natural disaster struck, causing the sky to fall and the earth to split. Homes were overturned, completely unrecognizable.

Her parents died on the spot, and she, once a little princess cherished in their palms, became an orphan.

Actually, if her aunt hadn't pushed her back then, she would have died too.

She had dodged the fatal blow, but when she turned around, she could no longer see her aunt. All she saw was a vast expanse of bricks and stones, as if they had piled up into a mountain.

Back then, she was too young to fully grasp the concept of life and death, until she saw the unrecognizable corpses of her parents. It was then that she suddenly understood that her aunt, just like her parents, was also gone.

Finally, she was reunited with her grandmother who loved her the most, but her grandmother, because of her, died in a foreign land after enduring much suffering.

After handling her grandmother's funeral, she encountered her uncle who was left all alone.

At that time, her uncle was seriously ill. He didn't mention his wife and nephew to her. She knew, they were already gone.

Uncle was determined to go downstairs to find his wife, but she wanted her loved ones to live well. She sent Uncle to the hospital, intending to take care of him in his old age and see him through to the end.

Just didn't expect, uncle repeated grandma's mistakes, and fell into the hands of that devil, Devon, again.

Corona had already called the hospital, and indeed, the uncle had already completed the discharge procedures.

She ran wildly, shedding big tears as she went. She was a jinx, whoever she wanted to get close to would not end well.

No!

This time, she absolutely wouldn't let her uncle end up like her grandmother, ruined by that despicable couple!

When Corona arrived at the Devon villa, he was sitting in the living room drinking tea.

He sat casually, his posture languid, but because his eyes were too sharp, he looked exceptionally cold and heartless.

"Mr. Burke, where was my uncle?"

"Linda is upstairs," Devon said coolly, lifting his eyelids slightly. "Take good care of Linda. If you cause her a bit of discomfort, I'll cause your uncle ten times the discomfort!"

At that time, she didn't even have the qualification to bargain with him.

Corona clenched her fists, "Mr. Burke, I will take good care of Linda, and I beg you, don't hurt my uncle!"

After saying this, Corona didn't even glance at Devon. She turned around and quickly headed towards the stairs.

Devon looked up, his gaze fixed on Corona's retreating figure. Then, his hawk-like eyes narrowed dangerously.

He didn't know why, but seeing her desperately wanting to draw a clear line between them, not even willing to look at him, made him inexplicably upset.

She wasn't like this before, she always followed him around like a little tail, with a hint of shyness, calling him 'big brother' again and again.

It seemed that if she could just call him "big brother" out loud, she could secretly rejoice for quite a while.

Now, she was no longer his tail, she wanted to be someone else's tail.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Devon rose almost irritably, quickly stepped forward, and harshly grabbed her wrist.

"Corona, break up with Wilton!"

"Mr. Burke, I was forced by you to come and take care of your woman, but who I, Corona, am with, it seems you are not yet qualified to manage!"

"Corona!"

"What, Mr. Burke, are you telling me how loud your voice is? Sorry, I'm really not interested in appreciating your loud voice!"

Pausing for a moment, Corona spoke again with a cold laugh, "Mr. Burke, every time I see you, it seems you are trying hard to prove to me how blind I was before. Fortunately, I'm not blind anymore."

Seeing the goodness in Wilton, she was not blind.

"What does this mean, Corona?" Devon didn't understand. He suddenly gripped her roughly, pushing her against the railing of the stairs. "Corona, are you blind when you love me, but not blind when you love Wilton?!"

"Corona, you're just a chicken I've played to death, and you're still trying to hook up with Wilton, dream on!"

Saying so, he disregarded the presence of servants passing by and passionately kissed her lips.
