When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1957

Chapter 1957 Keep Her There
Hearing that, Stella felt a wave of cold wash over her. She was about to speak again when a nurse's voice barked from behind, “Who gave you permission to use the phone?”

She hung up immediately and started randomly pressing buttons to make it look like she was just messing around.

“Scram,” she muttered under her breath. “I'm going to call Nathaniel. If he knew I was here, he'd come for me. And when he does, you'll pay for everything you've done!”

The nurse came storming over, visibly angry. “You lunatic. How dare you use the phone? Want me to cut your hand off?”

Stella instinctively shrank back. “No, no, I won't do it again.”

“You going back or what?” the nurse asked with a bit of a sneer.

As much as Stella didn't want to, she had no choice. If she refused, they'd just sedate her. That was worse. She walked slowly back to her room, silently hoping her roommate was asleep and wouldn't wake up.

When she pushed open the door and saw the other woman lying in bed, she finally let out a quiet sigh. But not long after, her sobs could be heard echoing through the room.

“You see what happens when you try to run?” her roommate scolded. “I'll break your legs!”

“I won't do it again... I really won't...” Stella sobbed.

Crying and shouting were normal in this place. Nobody bothered to intervene.

Later, when the nurse checked the phone, she saw that Stella had indeed made a call. Not only had someone answered, but the call was recorded.

As per the hospital director's orders, the nurse reported the incident.

Once the director found out, he immediately picked up the phone and called Cecilia.

In the past few days, Stella had been putting on quite the act, but this was the one time she slipped.

“Thanks a lot,” Cecilia said sincerely.
