When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1646

Chapter 1646 Wished For The Demise Of Queenie
Caliste stopped Cassandra. “Ms. Evans, it was Mdm. Queenie's own decision to cook for Ms. Cecilia. It's not Ms. Cecilia's fault.”

“Who else am I supposed to blame if not her? Doesn't she know how to say no? My mother's health has always been delicate!” Cassandra feigned anger. “Ever since I was a child, I've never dared to let my mother do the things that should be done by a maid.”

Upon noticing her concern for Queenie, Caliste didn't find it appropriate to say much else.

Understanding the reason, Cecilia released Cassandra's hand. “I had turned her down before, but she insisted on bringing us food. As for the slap you just gave me, I will let it slide. However, if you dare lay a hand on me again, I won't be going easy on you.”

Cassandra was inexplicably frightened upon meeting her gaze.

She dared not move again, shifting her sight to the entrance of the operation room. She murmured, “Mom, please, nothing bad must happen to you. What would I do if something happened to you?”

Deep down, she actually wished for Queenie's demise sooner rather than later.

Long before, Cassandra had already fabricated a will. All she needed was for Queenie to die and then gain control over Grover. Then, all of the Jamieson family's wealth would be hers.

However, things didn't go her way.

An hour later, the operating room's doors swung open, and the doctor emerged.

Cassandra immediately asked, “Doctor, is my mother all right?”

The doctor sighed.

Upon witnessing the situation, Cassandra was secretly delighted.

However, the doctor then said, “She's been stabilized for now, but her condition isn't too promising. She must have suffered quite a bit in the past, hasn't she?”

Cassandra's complexion turned sour instantly.

As everyone was preoccupied with Queenie's situation, they failed to notice the change in her expression.

Upon hearing that Queenie had been successfully rescued, Cecilia felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

The secretary led the doctor in, informing him of the various ailments that had once afflicted Queenie's health.

As Cecilia turned to leave, Queenie mustered all her strength and grabbed her hand in a firm grip.

Startled, Cecilia suddenly recoiled.

Queenie initially thought Cecilia didn't like her, but then she noticed the latter's palms were flushed red. “Ceci, your hand.”

Cecilia gave her palm a squeeze.

Cassandra initially thought Cecilia had done something wrong and grabbed the former on behalf of Queenie. “Cecilia, what happened to your hand?”

Despite Cecilia's objections, she forcefully pried open the former's hand, which was noticeably swollen and red.

Queenie's heart trembled. “Cassandra, quickly get a doctor to check on Ceci.”

“No need. I can handle it myself,” Cecilia declared. She then turned to Cassandra. “Can you let me go now?”

Reluctantly, Cassandra released her grip, feigning concern as she asked, “Cecilia, what happened to your hand? Why is it so swollen?”
