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

Chapter 1424 Cassandra Is Missing

Queenie hesitated for a moment, her voice barely above a whisper. "You must have known she's my biological daughter all along, right?"

Nathaniel's expression remained unreadable as he responded with a question of his own. "Didn't you say you didn't believe it?"

The words caught in Queenie's throat, and for a moment, she was speechless. "It was all my fault... I'm filled with regret now."

Cassandra had always spoken ill of Cecilia to Queenie, painting her in such a negative light that it deeply influenced Queenie's perception of her daughter. As a result, Queenie had unintentionally hurt Cecilia in countless ways. When Cecilia showed up at her door, Queenie had mocked her without mercy, dismissing her with harsh words and no consideration. "Where is Cecilia now? Have you found her?" Queenie asked, her voice trembling, her eyes red from the tears she had held back. Nathaniel's gaze lingered on the ruins before he slowly held out the ring, which he had been gripping tightly in his hand. "My search led me here," he said gravely, his voice heavy. "I found the ring Cecilia has always worn."

Upon hearing the news, Queenie staggered, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Caliste quickly stepped forward to steady her, "Mdm. Queenie, please be careful."

"Quick, send more people to search the area!" Queenie commanded, her voice desperate.
