When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 806 What Are You Doing Here

Cecilia then hopped into a taxi and instructed the driver to rush to the hospital.

Nicholas didn’t return to the company either. Instead, he had someone secretly tail Cecilia, curious to see what she was up to.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Cassandra clenched the agreement tightly, her eyes filled with intensity as she glared at Paula. “What will it take for you to agree to cut ties with me?”

Paula winced from the severe pain in her lower abdomen, but it was the emotional torment from Cassandra that weighed heavier on her heart. “Cassandra, I’m your mother. How could you even think of cutting ties with me?”

Frustration surged within Paula as she struggled with her emotions. “Please, I beg you. Just forget that I’m your daughter and pretend I never existed.”

Even now, Paula, already overwhelmed by disappointment, struggled to accept that her beloved daughter could treat her this way.

“If you agree, I’ll cover all your medical and living expenses,” Cassandra said coldly, her voice carrying a threatening edge. “But if you refuse, you’ll see just how heartless I can be.”

The hospital room fell into a suffocating silence, the tension hanging heavy in the air.

The caregiver, waiting anxiously outside, finally noticed Cecilia’s arrival.

As Cecilia approached, the caregiver rushed over, saying, “Ms. Smith, you’re finally here. Please talk to your sister. How could she cut ties with her mother? It’s just not right.”

Cecilia wished she could tell the caregiver that she was only there to watch the drama unfold, not to defuse the tension.

“All right,” Cecilia responded with a slight nod before quickly making her way to the entrance of the hospital room.

At the sound of footsteps, both Cassandra and Paula turned to look toward the entrance. Recognizing Cecilia, they both fell silent.

“Cassandra, I’ll just forget what you’ve said today. You should go home now,” Paula said, not wanting to make a scene in front of Cecilia.

Seeing that she wouldn’t be able to get her mother to sign the agreement today, Cassandra stormed out of the ward.

Outside, she addressed the caregiver with a cold tone, “You don’t need to look after her anymore. I won’t be paying your wages. You’re fired.”

The caregiver was simply astounded.

She couldn’t help but retort, “Ms. Evans, aren’t you afraid that karma might come back to bite you?” Cassandra scoffed disdainfully. “Karma? If karma truly exists, it should befall her, not me.”

want. From now on, I won’t contribute a single cent anymore.”

By now, Paula had confided everything to Queenie, leaving her with no leverage over Cassandra.

After hearing this, Cecilia retorted, “She’s your mother too. Why should I be the one to take care of her alone?”

“Mother?” Cassandra raised her voice. “Let me make it crystal clear: I have only one mother, and that’s Queenie. As for Paula, she was nothing more than the homewrecker who ruined my parents‘ marriage.”

Cassandra, in her high heels, walked past Cecilia.

She was unaware that Nicholas knew everything she had said to Paula.

Nicholas’s car was parked right at the hospital entrance. He had sent a subordinate to find out why Cecilia was at the hospital and, coincidentally, discovered Cassandra’s intention to sever ties with her mother.

As Cassandra stepped outside, she saw the window of the Maybach parked at the entrance slowly lower, revealing Nicholas‘ handsome face. “Nicholas?”

She walked over in this direction, pulled open the car door, and sat inside. “What are you doing here?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I just happened to be passing by and saw you, so I asked my driver to stop,” he said, then asked, “What are you doing at the hospital?”
