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

Chapter 825 So Cruel

How can there be such cruelty in the world?

Cecilia still couldn’t believe it. “You must be lying to me, right?”

Paula’s throat felt bitter.

“Cecilia, I was indeed pregnant once, but then Ralph found me and wanted to reconcile. For him, I aborted the child.”

She continued, “But after I had the abortion, Ralph was unwilling to marry me and ended up marrying Queenie. To avoid raising suspicion with Regas, I found a baby on the day we had originally scheduled for delivery. That baby was you.”

Having said this, Paula finally felt a sense of relief.

“I’ve wronged Regas. It might be because I aborted that nearly full–term child that I ended up with this illness. It’s all karma,” Paula said through tears and laughter.

Cecilia’s mind was in turmoil. She had suddenly gone from being the prominent young lady of the Smith family to an orphan.

The magnitude of the change was too overwhelming for her to accept.

“No wonder you’ve never liked me,” she said with a hoarse voice, standing up.

“But Dad never knew the truth before he died. You’re so heartless.”

Cecilia fought to keep her tears at bay.

Only now did Paula truly realize her mistakes. Her eyes were red as she looked at Cecilia. “Your father’s death was indeed not an accident. On the day before your wedding, I drove that car to meet Ralph. But I really didn’t tamper with the vehicle. If there was a problem with the car, it might have been Ralph’s doing.”

Paula recalled that after meeting Ralph, they had left the car in the underground garage for a period of time, What happened during that time was unknown.

At this point, Cecilia no longer knew which of her words were true and which were false.

“I hope you’re not lying to me this time.”

After saying this, she prepared to leave.

Paula called out to her again. “Ceci.”

Cecilia paused. “Is there something else?”

Paula’s lips trembled slightly. “No, nothing…”
