When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1644

Chapter 1644 A Nosebleed
Queenie gazed at the milk held out to her, her eyes filled with gratification. “Thank you, Sweetie.”

After she had said that, she downed the glass of milk without hesitation.

Cassandra watched it all indifferently. After Queenie was done drinking, she took the glass from her, washed it, and put it away.

“Mom, do you want me to help you prep the ingredients?” she asked.

Queenie was indeed feeling a bit worn out. Seeing that Cassandra was willing to lend a hand, she agreed, “Sure. Thank you.”

With that said, she leaned back onto the couch wearily and took a rest.

For some inexplicable reason, she had been feeling increasingly lethargic lately and couldn't resist the urge to sleep.

Cassandra quietly observed her for a moment. Then, she simply prepped some ingredients before handing the task to the housekeeper.

In the latter half of the night, Queenie suddenly woke up. She touched her philtrum, only to find it damp.

The housekeeper came over and urgently exclaimed, “Mdm. Queenie, you have a nosebleed!”

Immediately, Queenie snagged a tissue and wiped the blood off.

“I'm fine,” she replied wearily. Then, she turned her gaze to the kitchen. “Are all the ingredients prepped?”

The housekeeper nodded. “Yes, everything is prepped. It was all done by Ms. Evans herself, and she did an immaculate job.”

Those words were naturally a result of Cassandra's instructions.

Hearing that, Queenie was deeply touched. “I shouldn't have Cassandra bear the burden of what I owe Ceci.”

She coughed violently a few times.

Unable to sleep anymore, she decided to simply get up and make breakfast.

She even went out of her way to make some seafood chowder for Cassandra.

However, when Cassandra woke up and saw the chowder, her eyes brimmed with indifference. “It's already cold, so I'm not eating it.”

She had the housekeeper discard it all instead.

That day, Queenie had prepared an abundance of breakfast. She even made a trip to the kindergarten and gave Jonathan and Elliot a serving each.

A smile spread across Queenie's face. “Sure. Come and take a look at the breakfast I brought you guys today.”

“Thank you, Mdm. Queenie.” Charlotte then hollered for Lucille and the others to come over to eat.

Cecilia also came over, feeling somewhat embarrassed. “Mdm. Queenie, I'm truly sorry that I'm always troubling you to bring food here.”

Queenie shook her head. “Not at all. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's me who's always hanging around your company with nothing to do.”

That day, she even brought Calvin and Eric's shares.

Eric knew that Queenie was Cecilia's mother, so he was particularly flattering. “Mdm. Queenie, your culinary skills surpass even those of a Michelin chef. No, no, they simply can't compare to you.”

His words had Queenie burst into hearty laughter.

After breakfast, Queenie again kept Cecilia company as the latter worked.

She could tell at a glance whenever Cecilia faced challenges at work and provided her guidance.

Originally, Cecilia found it a bit odd to suddenly have a mother. But right then, her impression of Queenie had somewhat changed, finding her both a mentor and a friend.
