When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 1024

Chapter 1024 A Call From The Orphanage
Regaining his composure, Nicholas reigned in the hostility that had consumed him.

“I will ensure she gradually loses her temper.” Nicholas' voice was gentle yet chillingly cold.

Jocelyn was finding him increasingly difficult to understand. Back when he was being treated in a foreign hospital, he was so gentle every day. Even when he was unable to move, he never once lost his temper or spoke harshly to her.

She had always thought that Nicholas was someone without a hint of temper.

“Mr. Rainsworth, I truly believe if you don't harbor feelings for Ms. Evans, you should clarify it to her and call off the engagement. There's no need to live in such torment,” Jocelyn earnestly advised.

Torment? Nicholas glanced at Jocelyn. “I'm now the CEO of Orion Corporation, able to move and walk around, even holding the lifeblood of the Rainsworth family. How could I possibly be living in torment?”

After hearing that, Jocelyn lowered her head, choosing not to say anything further.

She knew that Nicholas' longstanding emotional burden had always been his physical ailments.

“Go back.”

“All right.”

Inside the office, Cecilia quickly received the notice, instructing her to continue liaising with Cassandra.

The notice also mentioned that Cassandra needed to take precautions for her pregnancy and that Cecilia was expected to be ready to meet her at the hospital whenever necessary.

Cecilia knew it was clearly a deliberate attempt to stir up trouble, yet she couldn't refuse.

Upon hearing the news, the staff from Team Five of the sales department couldn't help but say, “Boss, you're pregnant, too. It's not good for you to be moving around like this.”

“Don't worry. Just focus on your work,” she said.

Cecilia knew that she had to work harder than she ever had before.

After she had organized her subordinates' tasks, she took a car to the hospital to liaise with Cassandra.

Cassandra was lying on the hospital bed with Queenie seated by her side.

Seeing Cassandra in the hospital, Queenie was filled with concern. “I know you don't like Cecilia. You could just ask someone else to give her a hard time. Why do you have to do it yourself?”

“Mom, I want to embarrass Cecilia. I just can't stand how Nicholas always defends her,” Cassandra said, her expression pitiful. “You wouldn't believe how arrogant she was today. She even dared to push me. Thank goodness I protected my stomach, or else your grandchild would have been in danger.”
