When Her “Death” Couldn’t Break Him
Cecilia froze as she stared at Queenie’s hand reaching toward her. When Queenie’s fingers gently rested on her cheek, their warmth reminded Queenie this wasn’t a dream.
Queenie’s eyes glistened, and her voice trembled. “Ceci…”
Cecilia responded softly, “I’m here.”
“I wasn’t dreaming. You’re really here,” Queenie murmured, her voice filled with emotion. “I thought you’d… disappeared again.” She had been trapped in a long nightmare, repeatedly seeing her daughter taken from her, always envisioning Cecilia refusing to forgive her.
Cecilia watched her silently, unsure of how to respond.
At that moment, Nathaniel walked in, carrying a glass of water.
As Queenie sipped, the doctor arrived to perform a series of tests. The activity in the room stirred Caliste, who came rushing in.
“Is Mdm. Queenie awake?” she asked Cecilia.
Cecilia nodded. “Yes, she’s awake.”
Caliste reached for her phone. “I’ll let Ms. Evans know immediately.”
But just as she was about to dial, the doctor gestured for her to come inside. Caliste promptly entered, switching off her phone before mentioning anything to Cassandra.
Shortly after Cecilia and Nathaniel stepped out, Caliste called them back in.
Queenie gestured weakly for Cecilia to come closer.
Cecilia walked over to her bedside.
With a faint smile, Queenie said, “I’m sorry to have troubled you. You stayed up all night watching over me. I’m alright now; you should go back and rest.”
“All right.” Cecilia nodded. As long as Queenie was awake, that was enough.
Once Cecilia and Nathaniel had left, Queenie slumped back against the bed, her breaths labored.

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....
