When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1291 Find A Way To Get Rid Of Her

At the mention of her son’s medication, Cassina panicked, her resolve crumbling. She couldn’t afford to take any risks. “Cecilia wasn’t interested in my status. She told me she found my mother,” she admitted in a rush.

Cassandra’s eyes widened in shock. “What?” she blurted out, before quickly regaining her composure, feigning ignorance. “I thought your mother was at home? What do you mean she found her? Where is she?”

Cassina’s eyes welled up with tears. “My mom went missing recently. I’ve been looking for her but couldn’t find her. Cecilia contacted me last night. She said my mom was badly hurt.”

Cassandra put on a mask of sympathy. “Oh, what a tragedy for your mother. You must be devastated. Once my mom wakes up, you should talk to her. She could help arrange the funeral for your mother.”

In Cassandra’s mind, she was certain Cassina’s mother was already dead–her own doing. But the next words Cassina spoke sent a chill down her spine.

“My mom’s just in the hospital right now. She’s not dead,” Cassina said softly.

The color drained from Cassandra’s face, and her hand, resting at her side, clenched into a fist.

Those useless idiots. Didn’t they say they’d taken care of everything? How is this still not done?

“Oh, I misunderstood. My apologies,” she quickly replied, masking her shock.

Cassina shook her head. “It’s all right. My mom was just lucky. Please, whatever you do, don’t tell Mdm. Queenie about this.”

“Why not?” Cassandra questioned.

“I suspect she’s behind this,” Cassina speculated. “Hasn’t she pressured you to cut ties with your biological mother before?”

A wave of relief washed over Cassandra as she realized Cassina hadn’t yet pieced together the truth. She was still in the dark about who had truly caused this. In fact, Cassina despising Queenie could work in her favor. It’d keep them apart.

“Now that you mention it, I’d almost forgotten,” Cassandra sighed. “Mom can be quite possessive. I never thought she’d go as far as to hurt your mother. How’s she doing now? Is she okay?”

Cassina’s face crumpled with sorrow. “She’s covered in wounds and hasn’t woken up yet. But the do says there’s a high chance she’ll recover.”

Cassina didn’t notice the way Cassandra’s complexion had completely changed.

“Really? That’s good,” Cassandra managed, though deep inside, fear began to brew.

If Bailey woke up, would my secrets be exposed? There’d be no avoiding the trouble that would follow.

“Just make sure you don’t let Queenie find out,” Cassandra said, feigning concern. “And tell me, which hospital is your mom in? I can arrange for someone to ensure she’s safe.”

Cassandra’s heart filled with anxiety. She wanted to ask more, but feared Cassina might start to suspect something, so she simply nodded. “That’s good. You should get some rest.”

“Okay.”

Cassina noticed that Cassandra seemed unusually kind today–much less harsh than usual. Feeling reassured, she returned to her room to rest.

As soon as she was gone, Cassandra made a call to her subordinates. “From now on, keep a close watch on Cassina. I want updates on every move she makes, especially when she leaves the house.”

“Understood.”

I refuse to believe I can’t find Bailey.

Two days later, Cassandra’s subordinates tracked Cassina down to the hospital where Bailey was being treated. However, Sven’s men were guarding the room, making it nearly impossible for anyone to approach unnoticed.

Upon receiving the update, Cassandra gave a firm order. “No matter what, find a way to get rid of her.”
