Cassandra, however, wasn’t about to let things slide. Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she said, “Cecilia, you’re staying behind, huh? Worried you won’t get your share of the inheritance if something happens to 

Mom?” 

Initially, Cecilia had no intention of engaging in an argument, but Cassandra’s relentless provocation left her no choice. 

Cecilia accepted the jab without much fuss. “Yeah, after all, Mdm. Queenie is my biological mother. It’s only fair that I inherit her estate, don’t you think? Besides, Mdm. Queenie herself mentioned that she left a will. Half of it is mine.” 

She paused briefly, her expression calm. “And what if something happened to her while I wasn’t here? Someone might tamper with the will.” 

“You!” Cassandra raised her hand in fury, ready to strike Cecilia. 

Sven, who had been standing silently by her side, wasn’t going to let that happen. With a swift movement, he grabbed Cassandra’s wrist and, with a subtle flick, sent her stumbling back several steps. She nearly fell. 

“Cecilia, are you just waiting for Mom to die?” Cassandra spat angrily. 

Cecilia didn’t react to the accusation. Her gaze remained calm as she turned her attention to the operating 

room. 

Finally, the doors of the operating room swung open, and a nurse wheeled Queenie out. 

Cassandra shot up from her seat and asked hurriedly, “Doctor, how’s my mother doing?” 

The doctor looked at them with a solemn expression. “What did Mdm. Queenie eat last night and early this morning?” 

The question made Cassandra’s mind spin. “It was just food,” she replied, her voice trembling slightly. 

The doctor nodded thoughtfully. “Have someone bring us a sample of the food she ate,” he suggested. 

The secretary was about to send someone to fetch it, but Cassandra intervened. “The leftovers from that day were thrown away. There’s no way to bring anything here. Doctor, how’s my mother really doing?” she pressed anxiously. 

“For now, she’s stabilized, but it might take time for her to regain consciousness,” the doctor explained. “I suspect she consumed something unclean, which caused her condition to relapse.” 

Hearing that Queenie had pulled through, a cold dread filled Cassandra’s heart. 

Why is this old woman so impossible to get rid of? 

Feigning innocence, Cassandra replied, “The food at home is prepared by professional chefs. How could it 

not be clean?” 

“Then have your chef recreate the meal she had and bring it to us,” the doctor advised. “It might help us determine if it was a food allergy or poisoning.”

Cassandra nodded quickly. “Of course. Thank you, Doctor.”

After the doctor left, the group moved to Queenie’s room. Cassandra nudged Cecilia aside and approached Queenie’s bedside, taking her hand. “Mom,” she called out softly. 

Queenie lay there motionless, her eyes tightly shut. 

“Mom, please wake up soon. You need to get better quickly. What am I supposed to do without you?” Cassandra’s tone was full of pitiful sincerity. 

Meanwhile, Caliste had already called the chef to prepare the requested meal. Returning to the ward, she noticed Cecilia standing apart, clearly being excluded by Cassandra. The sight made her sigh inwardly. 

Despite Cecilia being the rightful heir, Cassandra always found a way to dominate the situation. 

“Ms. Cecilia, you’re not in great health yourself. Please take a seat,” Caliste offered, bringing over a chair. “I’m sure Mdm. Queenie will be relieved to know you’re here.” 

Cecilia nodded in gratitude and sat down quietly, her gaze fixed on Queenie. A complex mix of emotions churned within her. Seeing Queenie lying there, frail and unresponsive, stirred a natural instinct to care for her. 

Cassandra noticed Cecilia’s unwillingness to leave and wanted to drive her away, but with Caliste present, she didn’t dare to be too overt about it.
