When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 703

Chapter 703 Is She Not Your Mother Too
“If you truly don't have long to live, I won't just stand idly by and watch you die on account that you're my birth mother still,” added Cecilia.

Looking at the now high and mighty Cecilia, Paula couldn't help but scoff, “You stupid girl, don't get carried away just because Nathaniel is now blind and has given you some money. Of course I'll live on. Cassandra is infinitely more outstanding than you could ever be. With her by my side, life's been nothing short of wonderful. I was merely testing you earlier, and now, your true colors are showing, aren't they? You're nothing more than an ingrate...”

Paula launched into a tirade against Cecilia.

Cecilia didn't feel like engaging her. She returned to the mansion and, together with Elliot, began preparing for her father's memorial ceremony.

After berating Cecilia for an extended period outside, Paula felt intermittent pangs in her lower abdomen. A faint trace of blood soon appeared.

The part-timer noticed something was off about her and couldn't help but ask, “Are you okay?”

Paula was already in so much pain that she couldn't speak.

The part-timer hurriedly went back in to find Cecilia. Upon learning that Paula's illness had acted up and that her pants were stained red with blood, she froze momentarily but steeled herself and decided not to go out.

Turning to the part-timer, she said, “Have the security guard take her to the hospital.”

“Alright.”

Elliot was helping Cecilia pick out vegetables when he looked up at her and he said, “Mommy, if you're worried about granny, you should go and check on her.”

He knew that Cecilia was soft-heartened.

However, upon hearing this, Cecilia shook his head.

She was at a loss on how to explain the conflict between herself and Paula to her son, so she opted for a simplified description.

“Eli, I want to share something with you,” she began. “There's an old saying in our country, if I raised you when you were young, you'll take care of me when I'm old. If I had merely given birth to you and not raised you, I wouldn't expect you to take care of me.”

Elliot nodded thoughtfully and said, “Mommy, if grandma isn't nice to you, we'll just ignore her.”

Cecilia didn't speak any further. Instead, she reached out and embraced Elliot.

In truth, there was once a time when she had considered taking care of Paula for the rest of her golden years.

Unfortunately, Paula's actions had left her utterly disappointed.

“Eli, everything will be fine once you grow up.”
