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

Chapter 2004 Queenie Continues To Deteriorate

Eloise was once just as arrogant as she was now full of regret. She tried asking around, but still couldn't find a way to reach Cecilia.

"Do I really have to go to her house?"

The thought embarrassed her, but the idea of losing over five million was even worse. Plus, the pressure from her husband and mother-in-law left her no choice.

"You didn't know? Our boss spends almost every night at the hospital, taking care of her mother," the security guard answered kindly.

"Oh. Which hospital?"

"The best one in Tudela, of course."

Eloise nodded and left.
