When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1742

Chapter 1742 My Word Is My Bond
After Queenie had completely fallen asleep, Cecilia gently withdrew her hand.

She rose from the bed and made her way outside.

Nathaniel was still there, patiently waiting.

Cecilia was somewhat surprised. “Aren't you supposed to be at work?”

She hadn't seen Nathaniel come back in and had assumed he had left.

“Why should I be at work when you're still in the hospital?” Nathaniel replied solemnly. “Besides, the company is full of people. It won't collapse if I'm not there.”

Cecilia nodded slightly, then said in a low voice, “There's something I want to tell you.”

Nathaniel suddenly realized something and walked over to her. “All right, let's step outside.”

It was only when they were alone that Cecilia began to speak.

“I know who wants me dead.”

“Who?” Nathaniel asked, his face stern.

“Cassandra and Ralph.” Cecilia recounted everything she had witnessed the night before to him.

Nathaniel's hand was tightly clenched, his knuckles pale. “Leave this matter to me. You should get some rest.”

As they found a place to sit, Cecilia let out a deep sigh. “I'm not sure whether I should tell Queenie about this. Do you think she would stand up for Cassandra?”

Queenie and Cassandra had been together for over two decades. This was why Cecilia had chosen to keep it a secret, refraining from telling Queenie who was responsible for her misfortune.

With great effort, Queenie managed to pull herself up and smiled. “It's okay,” she said, then looked intently at Cecilia. “Cecilia, haven't you rested? Are you feeling tired? Would you like to take a nap now?”

Cecilia shook her head. “I've already had a good rest.” She walked over and took a seat beside Queenie's bed. “I have something to tell you. I lied this morning because Cassandra was here at the time. It was Cassandra and her father who were after my life.”

Queenie was momentarily taken aback. Her expression froze, and it took her a while to regain her composure.

“What? It's them?”

Cecilia recounted the events of the previous night once again.

After listening quietly, Queenie was filled with anger. “Those two heartless brutes! You're my only daughter. How could they even dare to harm you?” She looked up and met Cecilia's eyes. “Don't worry, Ceci, I will take care of this. My word is my bond. I won't let them get away with this.”

Cecilia felt uncertain about Queenie's words and couldn't help but ask, “Are you sure?”
