When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1893

Chapter 1893 Lost Her Mind
The nurse turned to the hospital director and said, “Sir, the patient's been brought in.”

The director nodded, got up from his seat, and spoke politely to Cecilia and Nathaniel. “Mr. and Mrs. Rainsworth, we'll leave you to speak with her. If anything happens, don't hesitate to call me.”

“All right.”

Once the director left and the door closed behind him, only three people were left in the room. Nathaniel and Cecilia both kept their eyes on Stella.

Stella didn't seem to notice their presence at all. She sat with her head lowered, aimlessly playing with her hair. She murmured, “Nathaniel, are you really going to marry me? Would Ceci be upset if she found out?”

Hearing that, Cecilia was at a loss for words. She stood up slowly and walked toward Stella. “Stella!”

Stella lifted her head slowly, meeting Cecilia's gaze. For a moment, she looked stunned, then her expression turned confused. “Who are you?”

“You don't even recognize me? I'm Cecilia,” she said clearly, stressing each word.

Stella's body gave a little jolt at the name. “I was wrong, I get it now, I really do. I swear I won't dare do anything like that again! Please, just give me one more chance. I won't trick anyone anymore, I won't use you to manipulate others... Ceci, weren't we best friends?”

She grabbed Cecilia's hand, her whole body shaking. “I don't want to end up like Cassandra, locked away. I don't want to live like some nobody. I swear, I'll stay in my lane from now on, just focus on being a proper celebrity, and never hurt you again. Please... let me go this time.”

Cecilia listened to her begging over and over again without even the slightest hint of sympathy. “So you're not completely insane after all.”

Stella didn't catch the meaning behind those words. Suddenly, her expression shifted. She glared fiercely at Cecilia. “No, you're lying! You're not Cecilia—I'm the real Cecilia!”
