When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 689

Chapter 689 Take Care Of The Money
“Mom, are you feeling better now?” Cassandra asked, sitting by the bedside.

Paula's previous discontent seemed to melt away when she noticed Cassandra staying by her side late into the night. “Much better now. You've had a long day.”

“No worries, Mom. You're my mother. I need to show you respect and care,” Cassandra replied, holding her hand. After a moment, she added, “However, there's something I've been meaning to discuss, though I've been hesitant because I didn't want to worry you.”

“What's the matter? Go ahead, tell me.”

“I think it might be wise to start planning for the future, given your current situation,” Cassandra suggested, trying to be as tactful as possible.

Paula quickly understood the implication. “Are you talking about arrangements for after my death? Didn't the doctor say that with treatment, I could live for at least two more years?”

“Mom, please don't be upset,” Cassandra said gently. “I want you to live as long as possible. But we need to be prepared for the future. If something were to happen to you, like what happened today, I wouldn't know what to do with your belongings.”

Paula listened in silence, a wave of disappointment surfacing once more. “Cassandra, I don't have much money left.”

Seeing her mother's reluctance, Cassandra felt a surge of annoyance. “Mom, do you not trust me? Do you think I'm only interested in your savings? Remember, I'm not just your daughter but also Queenie's adopted child. Queenie made a will stating that all her properties would pass to me after her death. The Jamieson family is so wealthy and influential. Do you really think I would covet your money?”

“Besides,” Cassandra continued, “Queenie may have been my adoptive mother, but you're my birth mother. It doesn't make sense for my adoptive mother to care for me more than my birth mother, does it?”

The remark hit Paula hard.

After giving birth to Cassandra, Paula had abandoned her due to emotional issues with Ralph.

She had always felt guilty about abandoning her daughter, but hearing Cassandra suggest that her adoptive mother was more caring than she was struck a painful chord.

“That's not what I meant,” Paula said, visibly upset. “Go to my room and look for a bank deposit slip in the safe. Take it to the bank and ask for Mr. Jacobson. The password is your birthday.”
