When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1862 Ulterior Motives

During this period, Cassandra was tormented by Yuliana's words.

She could barely eat or sleep well.

"What is it about?" Meredith asked.

"It's for Cecilia's ears only. You should tell her to come." Cassandra couldn't bear to see Cecilia having it good.

After hearing this, Meredith slightly furrowed her brows. "I'll pass on the message, but whether she will come or not, I can't say."

After she finished speaking, she walked out.

Once she was outside, Meredith called Cecilia and relayed everything that Cassandra had said.

Cecilia had always known that Cassandra would never give custody of Dahlia to anyone else.

"It seems like you have no choice but to seek out Nicholas," she said.

Meredith acknowledged with a hum, then turned to Cecilia and said, "Oh, by the way, Cassandra mentioned she wants to meet you. She has something to discuss with you."

"What's it regarding?" Cecilia instinctively asked.

"I asked her, but she refused to tell me. She wants you to go see her yourself," Meredith replied.

For a moment, Cecilia fell silent.

Meredith spoke again. "Could she have ulterior motives? Be careful when you meet her later."

"Sure, don't worry. I know what to do."

After ending the phone call with Meredith, Cecilia relayed the matter to Queenie. Queenie found it odd. "Why would she suddenly want to see you? Could it be that she wants us to drop the charges? Or is she up to something?"

Cecilia shook his head. "I'm not sure either, but she's locked up now, so it should be hard for her to harm me."

"True, then let me go with you," said Queenie.

Cecilia, however, refused. "Mom, your health isn't good. The doctors have said

that it's best for you to stay at the hospital right now. You shouldn't go anywhere else."noveldrama

"But..." Queenie was still worried.

"Don't worry, I'll have Nathaniel accompany me, alright?" Cecilia said.

Upon hearing Cecilia mention Nathaniel, Queenie gave in. "Fine, get him to go

with you. I'll only be at ease if he's by your side."

"Sure. I'll go with him tomorrow," Cecilia said.

A thought crossed Queenie's mind, causing her to grab Cecilia's hand. "Ceci, you

should stay at home tonight."

"Why?" Cecilia questioned.

"You're well enough to be

discharged now. You should be

spending time with Nathaniel. You

can't always stay by my side, lest it affects your relationship," responded Queenie.

Upon hearing this, Cecilia shook her head. “No, I want to stay with you. I have a

lot of time with Nathaniel still, but you... All I want right now is to be with you."

Cecilia embraced Queenie.

Right then, Queenie felt as if she had been pierced in the heart by something sharp.

She gently patted Cecilia's shoulder. "Silly girl, we still have plenty of time. It's no big deal."

Cecilia still shook her head. "I'm not leaving. I plan to stay here."

Once Cecilia had made up her mind, it was impossible to get her to change it. Queenie tried to persuade avail. All she could do was let Cecilia stay.

her multiple times, but toeg

Though Queenie didn't voice it out, she was incredibly happy inside.

"Ceci, I am truly blessed." She felt fortunate to have such a daughter. Cecilia responded with a smile, "Me too."

Both individuals were easily contented. They felt that being able to be reunited

with each other after so many years was already a wonderful thing.

After finishing his work, Nathaniel came over to keep Cecilia company.

Cecilia informed him that for a considerable period of time, she wouldn't be able to return home.

Nathaniel expressed his understanding. "No problem, you really should spend more time with your mom."

"Thank you for your understanding," said Cecilia.

Nathaniel looked at the recently somewhat gaunt face of Cecilia, feelinga pang of concern. "However," he said, "while you're

taking care of mom, you should also

take care of yourself, okay?"

"Right, got it." Cecilia nodded vehemently. "By the way, could you accompany me

to see Cassandra tomorrow?"
