When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1406 Meeting Queenie

Charlotte and the others lingered in Cecilia and Elliot's ward, only leaving late into the night.

Being a grown man, Nathaniel naturally didn't share any common topics with them and could only continue his work in another room. Once they finally left, he immediately emerged.

Elliot had already succumbed to sleep due to exhaustion.

Nathaniel approached Cecilia and asked, "Are you tired? Would you like to lie down for a bit?"

Cecilia thought about how he liked to get handsy every time she lay down and blushed.

"I'm not tired. I'd like to sit for a bit longer."

"You're due to give birth soon. Come and lie down for a bit, okay?" Nathaniel gently coaxed.

Cecilia ultimately couldn't resist his persistent coaxing and lay down beside him.

The lights were turned off, leaving only the faint glow from outside filtering into the room.

"Are Cassina and the others all right now?" Cecilia couldn't help but ask.

Nathaniel gently pulled her into his embrace. "Don't worry," he assured her. "I've arranged for someone to watch them covertly.."

"Okay." Cecilia nodded.

Ultimately, she couldn't bear to see anything happen to this family.

"Why do you think Queenie is so ruthless?" Recalling how she and Jonathan had nearly met their end at her hands and the ordeal Cassina and the others had faced, Cecilia found the woman somewhat frightening. Cassina had brought her troubles upon herself, but what about me? Simply because I had offended Cassandra, I nearly lost my life several times. But such a person turned out to be my biological mother!

"To achieve her position as a woman, she must naturally possess some tactics," Nathaniel responded thoughtfully.

Even Cecilia must agree with his words. "I'm so torn right now, unsure if I should acknowledge her."

"I think you can tell her the truth. As for what happens next, just let things take their natural course," Nathaniel advised.

After hearing this, Cecilia seemed to have reached a decision, saying, "All right. I'll go and have a chat with her tomorrow."

Anyway, this matter needs to be addressed sooner or later.

Nathaniel hummed and nodded. Then, his hands began to wander around.

Cecilia's cheeks burned. "Nathaniel!"

Nathaniel responded with a low hum, his voice deep and husky.

He truly couldn't control himself. After all, acting like a perfect gentleman while keeping the woman he loved company was impossible.

However, well aware that Cecilia was in the late stage of pregnancy, he merely touched her and didn't do much.

As for Cecilia, she quickly succumbed to sleep.

The following day, the sunlight fell on her face. When Cecilia opened her eyes, Nathaniel had already left for work. Her caregiver promptly delivered breakfast when she got up.

Cecilia picked up her phone, reading Nathaniel's messages while leisurely enjoying her breakfast.

He texted: After you wake up, call me. I'll accompany you to meet Queenie.

No matter where Cecilia went, Nathaniel would have someone watching her, fearing she might

"Mdm. Queenie, are you free? Would it be possible to meet?"

Queenie was working in the office when she received Cecilia's call, which took her by surprise.

She was just thinking about meeting Cecilia.

"All right. Send me a location," Queenie replied.

Cecilia found a restaurant near the hospital and sent its location to Queenie before heading there to wait for her.

She felt particularly uneasy while waiting inside the restaurant.

Unbeknownst to her, Stella had hired someone to keep tabs on Cecilia's activities.

Upon discovering the latter was meeting someone, she instantly became anxious and called Cassandra.
