When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1809

Chapter 1809 I Was Framed
Queenie shook her head. “No, I have to go home.”

“Doctor, could you prescribe me some painkillers?” she added. “The pain keeps me up at night—I just can't sleep.”

“Too much pain medication isn't good for your health,” the doctor replied. “It can also build resistance over time, making it ineffective for your condition.”

Queenie no longer cared. She gave a faint, bitter smile. “It's fine. As long as I can stay at home, that's enough for me. With the way my health is now, even if I stay in the hospital, I won't live more than a few months. I'd rather spend my time happily at home.”

The doctor had seen plenty of patients like her before. He didn't argue and simply prescribed the medication. “For now, you'll need to stay in the hospital for treatment for a few more days. Once you're stable, then you can go home.”

Only a couple of days...

After giving it some thought, Queenie nodded. “All right.”

She could keep Cecilia and her parents in the dark for a little while longer.

At noon, Yuliana left alone under the pretense of visiting a friend. Cecilia had a hunch and decided to check on her. She ended up discovering that Yuliana had actually gone to see Cassandra.

“Why did Yuliana go to see Cassandra? Doesn't she know that Cassandra almost got Mdm. Queenie killed?” Charlotte asked, puzzled.

Cecilia shook her head. “I'm not sure. But whoever she chooses to visit is her own decision. Just make sure she doesn't do anything that could harm me or the Jamieson family.”

Once bitten, twice shy.

Having been burned too many times, Cecilia knew she had to stay vigilant and cut off any potential trouble before it escalated.

Yuliana shook her head immediately. “Of course not. If I did, I wouldn't have come here.” She wasn't the type to blindly accept accusations. If Cassandra had really harmed Queenie, then she was nothing but an ungrateful traitor.

Seeing this, Cassandra finally spoke. “Thank you. You're the only one who still believes in me. My mother has always been good to me—why would I ever hurt her? I was framed.”

“Was it Cecilia?” Yuliana asked.

Cassandra fell silent, as if that alone was confirmation.

Yuliana's anger flared. “I knew she was bad news. Even though she's Aunt Queenie's biological daughter, she wasn't raised in the Jamieson family. She's too calculating.”

Then, after a brief pause, she asked again, “Cassandra, is there anything I can do to help you?”
