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

Chapter 807 I Will Speak Up

Cassandra paused for a moment and then fibbed, “My stepmother has cancer, so I came to check on her.”

“Really? Well, since I’m here, why don’t we go take a look together?” Nicholas said, curious to see what else she might come up with.

Cassandra quickly rejected the idea. “She’s already asleep. Let’s not disturb her.”

“Okay then.” Nicholas knew it wasn’t the right moment to confront her.

The car started up, gradually pulling away from the hospital.

Inside the hospital room, Paula’s mind replayed Cassandra’s words over and over.

“I have only one mother, and that’s Queenie!”

Her thoughts were a jumbled mess as she struggled to reconcile how her once dutiful and beloved daughter could turn her back on her.

When Cecilia entered the ward, she immediately noticed the transformation in Paula. The vibrant energy that once defined her was now replaced by a gaunt, hollow expression. There was a chilling emptiness in her eyes.
