Chapter 746 She Had It Coming
Paula picked up her phone and dialed Cecilia’s number
Q
Finished
After dinner, Cecilia was pondering over Paula’s current situation when an unexpected call from her came through.
“What’s the matter?” She picked up the phone and asked.
“Send me some money, I can’t afford my medical bills right now. As my daughter, you wouldn’t want me to sue you, would you?”
Paula had already made up her mind. If Cecilia was unwilling to give her money, she would sue her.
Didn’t Cecilia have a fondness for filing lawsuits?
Being sued by her biological mother probably wouldn’t be a pleasant experience.
She knew that what Cecilia couldn’t bear the most was being betrayed by her own family.
Unexpectedly, Cecilia didn’t refuse. Instead, she said, “Mdm. Paula, I’ll come to see you shortly. If it’s true that you can’t afford medical treatment, as you claim, it’s my duty to cover the expenses for you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Paula to say anything more and hung up the phone.
Inside the hospital, the nurse asked Paula, “How did it go? Don’t tell me this daughter of yours is also unwilling to lend you money?”
How pitiful that would be.
The woman nearby turned her gaze toward Paula, taunting her with a mocking tone. “No matter how much money you have, what good is it at the brink of life and death if you don’t have your family by your side?”
Upon hearing this, Paula’s lips thinned in a tight line.
Seeing her unwilling to speak, both the caregiver and the woman believed that Cecilia wouldn’t give her any money either.
The reason why Paula remained silent was because Cecilia had once again done something beyond her expectations.
She felt a sharp pain in her abdomen again, which led her to lie down. She closed her eyes, hoping that sleep would alleviate the discomfort.
For some reason, she couldn’t fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, her mind was flooded with images of Cecilia, from childhood to adulthood, always so well–behaved.
Did I really wrong her? No, I don’t believe so.
Although Cassandra was taken away shortly after her birth by Ralph, and then lived with Queenie, she was after all, her own flesh and blood.
Moreover, she often treated Cassandra kindly in private. Whatever the other girls had, she would always

Pain made time stretch out interminably. She had no idea how much time had passed before a surprised exclamation echoed through the deathly silent room. “Ms. Smith.”
After Paula was rushed to the hospital last time, Cecilia came over and the nurse had asked for her name.
The caregiver was also aware that she and Cassandra were half–siblings, sharing the same mother but different fathers.
“Mm–hmm.”
It was at this moment that Paula opened her eyes.
She looked at Cecilia who was not far from her. She was impeccably dressed, her beautiful eyes staring at her, filled with coldness.
“Are you feeling quite smug now?” Paula asked.
Cecilia didn’t respond. Instead, she glanced around. This place was a far cry from the VIP wards of the past. It was simply furnished and quite cramped.
She hadn’t expected that Paula and Ralph could be so ruthless as to move Paula here for treatment.

The readers' comments on the novel: When Her Death Couldn't Break Him
Thank you 😊 for the work...
Save us the distress from waiting or we are opting for others...
Hi, good morning Could you please send more chapters? To much books reading and I always forgot the story when it comes. All characters have the same name ( Cecilia, Nathaniel, Madaline, Fabian… )and lots of the names are similar in the same story, so I got confused when I don’t have all story already written. If at least you can send 10 chapters a day…. This story is as good as Mission to Remarry I can’t wait for finish it. But let’s have a great finish and a final chapter with one year of deepest love development. Thank you! Please,please, please!!!!...
What's going on? Why so few chapters?...
This chapter is completely useless!...
Why all chapters are not until the end? The new ones are never the continuation of the previous one. Also, Could you please do not use the "swnovel.net" as a water mark on the paragraphs? I use a listening device and those paragraphs are not readable....
More chapters, please 🙏...
What's going on? Is not Cassandra married? What is she doing in her mother's House?...
Waiting for more chapters...
Thank you for the update and anticipate more. Love Elliot in this novel the most <3...
