Chapter 1684 Lean On Me
The wait stretched into three or four hours, but Queenie remained unconscious, Caliste arranged for late- night snacks to be delivered.
“Ms. Cassandra, Ms. Cecilia, please have something to eat and rest. I’ll stay here to keep watch,” she suggested.
Cassandra, clearly exhausted, glanced at the food and waved it off dismissively. “I’m not eating this. It’s too late, and eating now would just make me gain weight. It’s bad for my health.”
She rose to her feet. “I’m heading to rest. You two can take care of Mom. I feel uneasy leaving you alone.”
Cecilia didn’t mind. She wasn’t tired, especially knowing Nathaniel would arrive soon.
Caliste sighed as she watched Cassandra leave. A daughter raised for over twenty years should feel a deeper bond with her parent than a biological daughter who hadn’t been around at all. But Cassandra’s behavior suggested otherwise.
“Ms. Cecilia, would you like to rest in the adjoining caregiver room?” Caliste offered.
Cecilia shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”
“At least have something to eat,” Caliste urged.
Cecilia nibbled on a small portion before resuming her quiet vigil.
Not long after, Nathaniel arrived. Spotting Cecilia’s slender figure beside Queenie’s bed, a pang of sympathy flickered in his chest. “Ceci.”
She startled slightly, like a mouse caught under a cat’s gaze. “Hey.”
Though she had insisted he needn’t come, Nathaniel had ignored her. After ensuring their child was asleep, he rushed over.
When Caliste saw Nathaniel, she stood. “Mr. Rainsworth.”
“Hello,” Nathaniel acknowledged with a slight nod.

The readers' comments on the novel: When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)
I love this story, but don’t you think finishing the chapter in the middle is too annoying? I know you have lots of characters to develop and I all of them have a lot of importance, however when you return them, it seems 100 years to remember. How about Vivian pregnancy. Did she tell to her husband and George? Did Nathaniel forget that Adrian and Miranda tried to hurt Cecilia. It looks like he doesn’t care??? I would have prosecuted them (or kill them, lol). The kids have been completely forgotten by their parents. Don’t you think Nathaniel must be warned about Cassandra doings? Don’t you think she is going to hurt Ceci again? Why isn’t Sven keeping close eyes in Cecilia? Isn’t Nathaniel too much blind about this? And more important of everything: isn’t this book a romance? How about the development of the couple romance? I miss the looks, the sudden increase of heart beats, a kiss reciprocated without interference. Oh my ! Please don’t finish this history with a wedding party and all of them were happy forever! They should fall in love again and it takes time and care. Thank you for your attention and patience. Sorry if I bother you, I just want some passion to keep this story interesting. I started another book some weeks ago because I couldn’t read only 2 or 3 chapters a day( let alone one), but I still have faith in this love story. Hope you are healthy and inspired to make it great. Good luck!!!...
Wish they would update more pages than 1, 2, or 3....
