When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 694

Chapter 694 Missing Her
Ever since Cassandra got her hands on Paula's personal savings, she stopped visiting the latter. She didn't even bother to make a simple phone call.

Paula was alone in the icy hospital, missing Cassandra intensely. “Cassandra, I miss you. When will you come to see me?”

“Mom, I'm truly sorry,” Cassandra said in a dismissive tone. “I've been extremely busy lately. Once I'm done, I'll come to visit you. Is that okay?”

The light in Paula's eyes dimmed slightly. “All right. You've been busy every day—”

Before Paula could even finish her sentence, Cassandra had already hung up the phone.

Paula stared at the disconnected call on her phone, her eyes filled with disappointment.

At the entrance, the caregiver attending to Paula was visited by her daughter that day. The daughter kept chatting with her mother. “Mom, I have money now. You don't need to do this job anymore. I'll take care of you.”

“Don't worry, I'm still young and not afraid of getting tired,” said the caregiver.

“I worry about you, though. Please, take this money. Be sure to treat yourself well, indulge in delicious food, and don't hesitate to spend it.”

As Paula observed the tender moments between the mother and daughter at the doorway, she couldn't help but be reminded of Cecilia.

She recalled that, six or seven years ago, Cecilia kneeled before her and said, “Mom, can we rely on ourselves from now on? I can take care of you.”

For some reason, Paula felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.

She picked up a pillow and flung it toward the door, bellowing, “Are you here to take care of me or to chat with your daughter?”

Upon hearing that, the caregiver immediately sent her daughter home.

Following that, the caregiver entered the ward and closed the door behind her.

The caregiver was already the third one. The previous two had left due to Paula's terrible temper.

The female caretaker picked up the pillow from the floor and placed it neatly back on the chair. She showed no signs of irritation and said gently, “The doctor mentioned that your condition could worsen with anger. If there's anything troubling you, feel free to share with me.”

She pulled open the door and saw a woman of stunning beauty standing calmly at the entrance. However, a scar marred her otherwise flawless face.

Paula also spotted Cecilia, her pupils suddenly constricting. “Why are you here?”

Cecilia courteously flashed a smile at the caregiver before stepping in.

She glanced at Paula, who had become as thin as a stick overnight. At first, she was taken aback but soon regained her composure. “I came for the money. I wonder if you've got it ready.”

Paula spoke sarcastically. “Money? What money? Where would I have gotten any money from? I'm telling you, I've spent all of your father's money. Don't even think about getting a single penny from me.”

Upon hearing that, Cecilia didn't get angry either. “Is that so? Then I guess I'll have to apply for my request to be enforced.”

“You dare!” Paula sat up, ready to strike her.

Cecilia took a small step back just as Paula abruptly tumbled to the ground.
