When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1645

Chapter 1645 Queenie Passed Out
However, Queenie was not in the best of health at the moment. Around ten in the morning, she couldn't help but doze off on the couch, her spirit noticeably flagging.

“Mdm. Queenie, are you tired from preparing our meals and managing the company every day?” Charlotte asked.

Cecilia was also worried about Queenie. After the latter woke up, she said, “Mdm. Queenie, there's no need for you to come again in the future. We can prepare our meals.”

Queenie's expression drastically changed. “Is there something I did wrong, Ceci?”

Seeing her like that, Cecilia shook her head and responded, “No, it's just that I feel...”

She was at a loss for words, but Charlotte said, “Mdm. Queenie, we appreciate your kindness. We've noticed that you've been looking more and more worn out each day, probably due to a lack of rest. Please, go home and take care of yourself. We're not picky eaters.”

I see. Queenie sighed. “I'm fine. I'm not tired. I guess I'm just getting older.”

“No, you should go back,” Cecilia said firmly, leaving no room for refusal.

Queenie felt a wave of sadness at that moment. “Ceci...”

“Go back and rest now,” Cecilia suggested again.

Even if Queenie wasn't her biological mother, she couldn't bear to see an elderly woman without any time to rest and prepare meals for her.

Queenie also sensed the concern in her voice and couldn't help but smile. She responded, “All right, I'll go rest. However, once I'm rested, I'm still coming back.”

She rose, ready to leave.

However, upon standing up, she had barely taken a few steps when she collapsed abruptly.

In a moment of panic, Cecilia instinctively lunged forward.

The two of them tumbled to the ground together, with Queenie landing on top of Cecilia.

Charlotte immediately came over. “Boss, are you all right?”

Cecilia used her hands to brace herself when she fell. “I'm all right.”

Cecilia simply sat outside.

In a short while, Caliste and Cassandra hurriedly made their way over.

Caliste arrived at Cecilia, anxiously asking, “Ms. Cecilia, is Mdm. Queenie doing okay?”

Shaking her head, Cecilia said, “I'm not sure. They're still treating her.”

Caliste wanted to ask something else, but Cassandra quickly pulled her away. Then, she raised her hand and slapped Cecilia.

Naturally, Cecilia didn't expect Cassandra to lash out at her, leaving her somewhat dazed suddenly.

Cassandra raised her hand, ready to strike Cecilia again.

In response, Cecilia firmly grabbed her wrist. “What gives you the right to hit me?”

Cassandra reprimanded sharply. “I have the right because she cooked for you every day, and because of that, she's now collapsed and in the operating room. You're so young. Why do you want to live off her so badly? Can't you go out and eat on your own?”
