When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1742

Chapter 1742 My Word Is My Bond
After Queenie had completely fallen asleep, Cecilia gently withdrew her hand.

She rose from the bed and made her way outside.

Nathaniel was still there, patiently waiting.

Cecilia was somewhat surprised. “Aren't you supposed to be at work?”

She hadn't seen Nathaniel come back in and had assumed he had left.

“Why should I be at work when you're still in the hospital?” Nathaniel replied solemnly. “Besides, the company is full of people. It won't collapse if I'm not there.”

Cecilia nodded slightly, then said in a low voice, “There's something I want to tell you.”

Nathaniel suddenly realized something and walked over to her. “All right, let's step outside.”

It was only when they were alone that Cecilia began to speak.

“I know who wants me dead.”

“Who?” Nathaniel asked, his face stern.

“Cassandra and Ralph.” Cecilia recounted everything she had witnessed the night before to him.

Nathaniel's hand was tightly clenched, his knuckles pale. “Leave this matter to me. You should get some rest.”

As they found a place to sit, Cecilia let out a deep sigh. “I'm not sure whether I should tell Queenie about this. Do you think she would stand up for Cassandra?”

Queenie and Cassandra had been together for over two decades. This was why Cecilia had chosen to keep it a secret, refraining from telling Queenie who was responsible for her misfortune.
