Chapter 1811 Steal The Spotlight
“You're telling me Yuliana brings something back every time she visits Cassandra?” Cecilia was taken aback.
Charlotte nodded. “Yeah.”
A vague but unsettling feeling crept into Cecilia's heart. “Today, find a way to take the food she brought and get it tested at the hospital.”
“Got it.” Charlotte had also realized the severity of the situation.
That night, Yuliana arrived with a plate of scrambled eggs. “Aunt Queenie, try this. I made it myself. Didn't you say before that you wanted to try scrambled eggs with salmon?”
Queenie chuckled. “Yuliana, you've been so thoughtful lately. Thank you.”
“There's no need to thank me. I just want you to be happy every day.” Yuliana crouched beside Queenie, holding out the plate. “Here, let me feed you.”
As Cecilia walked in and saw this, she acted as if she hadn't noticed and deliberately bumped into Yuliana. With a crisp crash, the bowl hit the floor, shattering into pieces, the eggs spilling everywhere.
“Oh no, I'm so sorry, Yuliana,” Cecilia apologized right away. “I felt a little dizzy just now and accidentally bumped into you.”
Yuliana's face darkened, her brows furrowing. Queenie couldn't help but ask, “Ceci, what's wrong? Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Cecilia shook her head. “No, I just stood up too fast, and my vision blurred for a second.”
“Oh, as long as you're all right.” Queenie then turned to comfort Yuliana. “Yuliana, Ceci didn't do it on purpose. Don't be mad, all right?”
Yuliana had been holding a grudge against Cecilia for a long time, but in front of Queenie, she had no choice but to keep up appearances. “It's fine. I'll cook for you again tomorrow,” she said before getting up.
Charlotte immediately stepped forward with the servants. “Mdm. Queenie, why don't you all rest in the living room? I'll clean this up.”
“All right, thank you.”
Queenie and the others moved to the living room. Seizing the opportunity, Charlotte collected a sample of the eggs and rushed it to the hospital for testing that same night.
“Granny, Granddad, you should get some rest early tonight. Luke and Gabe are coming over tomorrow,” Cecilia said with a smile.
Alphonse and Bethany lit up with excitement. “Really? That's wonderful! We finally get to meet our little great-grandchild!”
When the children had first arrived, they'd caught a cold and hadn't been well enough to see anyone. Now that they were better, they could finally meet the elders.
The next morning, Elena brought the two little ones over. As soon as they arrived, Elliot let out a dramatic sigh. “Hmph! Younger kids always steal the spotlight.”
Jonathan patted his shoulder. “No need to be jealous of your own brothers.”
“Fine.”
Without another word, Elliot followed Jonathan back to the room. Meanwhile, outside in the living room, Charlotte called Cecilia over.
