When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524 Meeting Up With Magnus
At the café, Magnus stirred his coffee.

He had been waiting here for a while.

When he finally saw Cecilia walk in, he stood up immediately, forcing a smile. “Cecilia, have a seat.”

Cecilia ignored his attempt to be nice.

“I heard from the security guard that you came looking for me. What's the matter?”

“Mom has been diagnosed with late-stage cancer,” Magnus said, staring at her, enunciating every word.

Cecilia was stunned, disbelief evident in her eyes. “What did you say?”

“The police called me yesterday. Mom collapsed in jail. They took her to the hospital, did some tests, and found out she has a late-stage brain tumor,” Magnus continued.

Cecilia looked at him seriously, then scoffed, “Are you asking me to write a settlement agreement? To spare her life?”

Paula had been pampered all her life. How could she possibly be diagnosed with cancer, let alone a brain tumor?

Martha had no relatives, and Cecilia could be considered her foster daughter.

If Cecilia wrote a settlement agreement, Paula could get a lighter sentence.

“Cecilia, are your heartless? She's our mother! Are you really going to watch her die? She already told me that the housekeeper committed suicide,” Magnus said, glaring at her with hatred.

Cecilia's face turned cold. “Suicide? My mother was killed by Paula.”

“Who do you recognize as your mother? She was just a housekeeper, a lowly commoner...”

Slap!

Before Magnus could finish, Cecilia raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

He looked at her in disbelief. “You're hitting me over a housekeeper?”
