When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 666

Chapter 666 Hidden Resentment
Inside the ward, not long after Cecilia left, Paula was in unbearable pain, her illness flaring up. By the time Cassandra entered the room, she was met with a foul odor.

Paula looked at her somewhat awkwardly. “Cassandra, could you please call the nurse? I'm afraid I've unintentionally soiled the bedsheet.”

Upon hearing these words, Cassandra finally understood the reason. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hide the look of disdain on her face.

“Mom, how could you wet the bed when you're an adult?”

“I'm sorry. It wasn't intentional. It's just a symptom of my illness. You're not going to resent me for it, are you?”

In front of Cassandra, Paula was exceptionally submissive.

Cassandra knew that although Paula had brought all the money to the Evans family, she still had a backup plan. Her father didn't have control over all the funds.

She was still hoping that after Paula's death, she would inherit the latter's fortune. So, she feigned concern and said, “Mom, how could I possibly resent you? I am your daughter after all. I was just a bit shocked earlier, but what are we going to do with you now? I'll call the caregiver immediately, and then have the doctor and nurse check on you later.”

“Alright.”

Paula felt at ease. Cassandra was her own flesh and blood. She was certain that the latter would never despise or harm her.

Cassandra immediately stepped out and dialed the caregiver's number, urging them to come and handle the situation promptly.

The caregiver arrived swiftly to change Paula's sheets. Who could have imagined that the once proud and renowned dancer would be reduced to such a state?

The doctor treated Paula, and her condition somewhat improved.

Cassandra really didn't want to stay there, so she found an excuse to leave.

If it wasn't for the pretense of showing filial piety in front of Paula, she wouldn't have come at all.

Once she stepped outside, she could finally breathe in the fresh air. She then gave Magnus a call.

Quickly, the call connected, and Cassandra spoke with the authority of an elder sister.

“Magnus, Mom is sick. When are you planning to come back?”

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

Upon lifting his gaze, Magnus broke into a smile instantly.

“Nicholas.”

Nicholas gave a slight nod.

Ever since Magnus joined the new company established for him by Nicholas, he had behaved sycophantically toward the latter.

“How's work been lately?” Nicholas asked after sitting down.

Swiftly, Magnus served him some warm water. “I've only just started. There's not much for me to do yet.”

After taking a sip of water, Nicholas put on a warm expression. “It's okay. Take your time.”

“Alright,” Magnus felt as if Nicholas was his own brother. He couldn't help but express his disbelief. “Nicholas, Cecilia must have been blind to turn you down and choose to be with that fool, Nathaniel.”
