My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231 

Skadi was already awake. Her face was deathly pale, and her eyes were fixed on the ceiling above her blankly. 

Bianca strode forward and crouched down beside the bed. She grabbed Skadi’s hand and asked worriedly, “Skadi, how are you feeling?” 

Hera placed the medicine bowl down on the bedside table and carefully helped Skadi sit up on the bed, letting her lean against the headboard. 

Skadi turned her head to look at both of them with tears in her eyes. “I thought I would never see you again…” she said weakly. 

It felt like a truck filled with steel had hit her the moment the long-haired youth struck her. At that moment, she felt her internal organs rupture and instantly lost consciousness. 

She thought for sure that she would die and did not expect Nash to save her. 

Hera choked on her sobs and said, “Dummy, don’t talk nonsense. We still have to reach a hundred years old!” 

After saying that, she picked up the medicine next to her, scooped up a spoonful, and blew on it before feeding it to Skadi. 

“Is Father Cillian here?” Skadi asked weakly. 

Bianca hurriedly replied, “Yes, he is. He’s downstairs!” 

Hearing this, Skadi tilted her head to the side. “I can’t hold on anymore. I want to meet Father Cillian…” 

Hera snapped. “You’re still thinking about men? At a time like this? Besides, he’s a priest. He’s not easily swayed by earthly desires.” 

“I don’t care. If I can’t see Cillian, then I won’t drink the medicine,” Skadi whined with frustration. 

Hera put the medicine bowl back down on the bedside table angrily. “Whether you take the medicine or not is up to you.” 

“Boo-hoo…” 

“You guys are fake besties. I don’t need fake besties like you guys.” 

Skadi sobbed and wiped away her tears. 

“Okay, okay. I’ll go down and get him.” Hera shook her head helplessly before getting up and leaving the room. 

How was she going to convey this to Cillian, though? 

Downstairs, Cillian was sitting on the sofa as Nash and Brian chatted. 

When Zakariah learned that his granddaughter was fine, his face shone. 

However, they were all taken aback when they saw Hera’s dull expression. 

Zakariah’s face turned pale as he asked in a panic, “Hera, w-what’s wrong?” 

Hera sniffled. She wiped her tears and said, “Skadi, s-she’s dying…” 

What? 

Zakariah shot to his feet as if struck by lightning. His vision went black, and he almost fell. 

Hera felt extremely guilty. 

Only Nash noticed that Hera was looking at Father Cillian, and from that, he guessed what Skadi was thinking. Even at a time like this, she wanted to see a handsome man. 

Choking on her sobs, Hera said, “All her life, Skadi has admired Father Cillian. So… so…. 

Father Cillian slowly turned his head to look at Hera. 

His thin, blade-like brows were furrowed slightly as he said, “Master Calcraft said Miss Zabel’s injuries had already stabilized just now.”
