When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 807

Chapter 807 I Will Speak Up 

Cassandra paused for a moment and then fibbed, “My stepmother has cancer, so I came to check on her.” 

“Really? Well, since I’m here, why don’t we go take a look together?” Nicholas said, curious to see what else she might come up with. 

Cassandra quickly rejected the idea. “She’s already asleep. Let’s not disturb her.” 

“Okay then.” Nicholas knew it wasn’t the right moment to confront her. 

The car started up, gradually pulling away from the hospital. 

Inside the hospital room, Paula’s mind replayed Cassandra’s words over and over. 

“I have only one mother, and that’s Queenie!” 

Her thoughts were a jumbled mess as she struggled to reconcile how her once dutiful and beloved daughter could turn her back on her. 

When Cecilia entered the ward, she immediately noticed the transformation in Paula. The vibrant energy that once defined her was now replaced by a gaunt, hollow expression. There was a chilling emptiness in her eyes. 

She asked the caregiver, “Could I have a moment alone with her?” 

“Sure, Ms. Smith.” The caregiver, trusting Cecilia, stepped out of the ward. 

Once the caregiver had left, an unusual silence settled over the room, leaving only Cecilia and Paula.

The question hit Paula like a lightning bolt. 

She immediately denied it. “What are you talking about? It was an accident.” 

“Is that so? According to my investigations, the car Dad used was driven by you the day before. At that time, you were the only one in the car.” With a bitter taste lingering in her throat, Cecilia declared, “I also discovered that there was an issue with the car’s brake pads. It was no accident!” 

Paula’s eyes widened in disbelief after hearing that. “What?” 

Judging by Paula’s demeanor, Cecilia sensed she was still playing dumb. 

Cecilia’s voice remained icy cold. “Is it really that hard for you to tell the truth? The doctor said you have, at most, three months left to live.”

“If you don’t believe me, ask the doctor yourself. He said the cancer is spreading fast. Holding on for more than three months would take a miracle.” Cecilia’s focus was unshakable; her only desire now was to uncover the truth about her father’s death. 

She reached out and gripped Paula’s frail wrist. “Tell me, did you sabotage the car? Are you the reason my father had that accident?” 

She glared intently at Paula.
