Chapter 1400 Her Biological Mother
She instructed the driver to turn around and head toward the psychiatric hospital where Cassina was admitted.
Upon their arrival, Cecilia noticed that the security was noticeably stricter than before. However, with a bit of cunning, Nathaniel still managed to get them in. When Cecilia pushed open the door to Cassina's room, she saw the latter covered in injuries, staring blankly into the distance.
At the sound of the door opening, Cassina instantly recoiled into a corner and protected her head.
"Please, I beg of you, don't hit me," she pleaded through her tears. "I promise, I won't speak out of turn again. Please don't hit me."
Her appearance clearly indicated that she had endured a great deal of torment.
Cecilia slowly made her way over to her. "Cassina, it's me, Cecilia."
Upon hearing Cecilia's voice, a glimmer of hope flickered in Cassina's eyes as she lifted her head to gaze at her.
"Ms. Smith, have you come to rescue me? By now you should realize that I wasn't lying. Please save me... no, please save my son, Dylan - he's innocent."
An involuntary wave of sympathy washed over Cecilia upon seeing her in such a state.
"I've already sent someone to look for Dylan while on my way here."
The immense weight that had been pressing on Cassina finally lifted.
"I still have some details I'd like to ask you about."
"All right, ask away. I'll tell you everything I know."
Cecilia had Cassina recount the incident of Queenie losing her daughter and the subsequent visit to the orphanage with Bailey.
It was exactly as she had said before. She wasn't lying.
Cecilia slightly lowered her gaze. "So it really is the truth. It really is..."
Seeing her murmuring to herself, Nathaniel approached her and asked, "Ceci, what exactly happened?"
With her eyes reddened, Cecilia threw her arms around him in an embrace.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"Nathaniel, I've found my biological mother. She's Queenie."
Nathaniel's heart sank. He, too, found it hard to believe.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I've already done the DNA test." Cecilia nodded.
"Do you want to acknowledge her?" Nathaniel asked.
Cecilia shook her head. "I don't know."
If she were being honest with herself, her dislike for Queenie currently outweighed her desire to acknowledge her as her mother.
Every time Cecilia thought about her
own face and how Jonathan
narrowly escaped death, she felt a surge of deep resentment toward Queenie. She blamed the older woman for everything that had happened.
After understanding her stance, Nathaniel gently embraced her. "All right, then let's not acknowledge her for now. We can discuss it again when you change your mind." "Okay."
After the two had come to an agreement, Cecilia turned back to look at the trembling Cassina. "She's also a pitiful soul. Can you figure out a way to get her out of here?"
"All right, I'll take care of it."
After returning home, Cecilia tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
It seemed as though the children within her could sense her unease, gently kicking against her belly.
Cecilia hurriedly soothed the babies inside her stomach, "My little ones, what's wrong? Are you feeling sleepy?" Upon seeing her condition, Nathaniel took a seat beside her before resting his large hand gently on her stomach.
Before long, the two children had settled down.
Sure enough, just as it was mentioned online, when the child's father stroked the child, the child would stop kicking in the belly. "Why won't they kick me?" Nathaniel felt somewhat disappointed.
"Just wait until they're born."
A rare smile graced Cecilia's face.
Meanwhile, over at Sinclair Manor.
Vivian was now married to Zachary, so she would be sharing a room and a bed with him.
She looked around the room, noting the wedding decorations, and her heart pounded in her chest.
At last, Zachary entered.
"Um..."
Before Zachary could even speak, Vivian quickly interjected, "At the end of the day, we're doing this to make Grandpa happy. I was thinking that perhaps we should sleep separately
at night. What do you think?" V
