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

Chapter 1823 Hold Back Your Tears

Yuliana's eyes were filled with anxiety.

The doctor removed his mask, his expression troubled. "She's temporarily out of immediate danger, but... you're well aware of her current physical condition. She won't be able to hold on for long."

Yuliana's figure swayed slightly. "Could it be because the food she ate a few days ago was off?"

The doctor questioned, "Were you not aware that her health was already at its breaking point?"

Yuliana's pupils suddenly constricted. She couldn't believe it, murmuring to herself, "How could this be?"

The doctor looked at her, somewhat puzzled by her behavior.

At that moment, Cecilia was standing before the doctor, completely unfazed. She was not taken aback because she had known all along.

"Thank you, doctor," she said, her voice hoarse.

The doctor gave a slight nod. "It's all right. During these final moments, just try to spend some quality time with the patient."

"All right." Cecilia watched as the doctor left, and Queenie was wheeled back into the ward.

Yuliana belatedly realized what was going on. She turned to look at Cecilia and couldn't help but ask, "Cecilia, did you know about Aunt Queenie's health condition all along?"

Cecilia didn't hide anything.
