When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1740

Chapter 1740 We Have Been Deceived
Queenie gripped her phone, almost bursting into tears. “Ceci... Ceci has been found.”

Cassandra had also spent the night without sleep, but upon hearing these words, she instantly perked up.

“Where is she?”

“She's been taken to the hospital, but it doesn't appear to be anything serious,” Queenie replied with a smile. Then, she turned to Scorpius. “Let's go. We should head back quickly. We need to check on Ceci. She must be terrified.”

“All right.” Scorpius felt a wave of relief wash over him.

They were so elated that they failed to notice the gradual pallor creeping onto Cassandra's face.

How is this possible?

How did they find her?

Cassandra's figure wavered, and she felt as if she might topple over at any moment.

Seeing that Queenie and the others were about to leave, Cassandra's assistant asked, “Ms. Evans, should we follow them?”

Cassandra nodded stiffly. “Of course!”

She needed to confirm with her own eyes whether Cecilia was truly alive.

As she settled into the car, her hand, still clutching her phone, trembled subtly.

At the hospital, after a thorough medical examination, it was determined that there was nothing wrong with Cecilia. She was simply extremely exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep.

She only had minor scrapes on her hands and legs.

After sleeping for several hours, Cecilia finally woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Nathaniel right there by her side.

“How do you feel?” Nathaniel asked.

“I'm fine, just... a bit hungry and thirsty.”

Since she had been kidnapped yesterday, Cecilia hadn't eaten anything.

Nathaniel quickly got up, poured her a glass of water, and had someone bring over some food.

“Okay.” Queenie nodded, yet she was reluctant to leave.

Scorpius stepped forward. “You haven't rested all night. Why don't you take a break first? Once you're rested, you can come back to see Ms. Cecilia.”

Queenie shook her head. “No, I want to stay here with Ceci.”

Scorpius knew she was stubborn, and there was nothing he could do about it.

This time, Cecilia didn't refuse Queenie's company. Instead, she suggested to Scorpius, “Mr. Jiminez, why not arrange a bed in here? Mdm. Queenie can sleep next to me.”

Queenie's eyes brightened, yet a trace of uncertainty lingered in her gaze. With a slight tremor in her voice, she asked, “Can I?”

“Of course.” Cecilia nodded.

Queenie urged Scorpius to make the necessary arrangements.

They appeared joyful, making Cassandra feel out of place.

She left the ward and confronted Ralph, “Dad, didn't you say Cecilia was dead? I just saw her in the hospital, perfectly fine. We've been deceived.”
