When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 524 Meeting Up With Magnus.

At the café, Magnus stirred his coffee.

He had been waiting here for a while.

“Mom has been diagnosed with late–stage cancer,” Magnus said, staring at her, enunciating every word.

Cecilia was stunned, disbelief evident in her eyes. “What did you say?”

“The police called me yesterday. Mom collapsed in jail. They took her to the hospital, did some tests, and found out she has a late–stage brain tumor,” Magnus continued.

Cecilia looked at him seriously, then scoffed, “Are you asking me to write a settlement agreement? To spare her life?”
