Chapter 1287 An Unread Message
Sven told Cassina everything he knew.
Shock filled Cassina’s eyes. “Someone was out to get her?”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She still found that somewhat hard to believe. After all, they had just been ordinary people in the past, without money or power. They had not offended anyone, so there was simply no reason for anyone to want to harm them.
But now…
“Was it Queenie?” she asked, clutching Cecilia’s hand.
Now that I think about it, it’s highly likely that Queenie would want to kill my mother. After all, how could a big shot like her ever allow her daughter to have two mothers?
The same thought had crossed Cecilia’s mind, but she did not have any proof.
“We don’t know. We have no proof that Queenie was the one who did it.”
Cassina wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. “It must be her. I know she once manipulated Cassandra into severing ties with her biological mother just so Cassandra would only have her as a mother.”
Bailey had been the one who told her that piece of information.
At the time, I found it incredibly unbelievable. I remember thinking then that even if I were given a billion, I’d never disown my biological mother.
“No, I need to clarify it with her right now. I want to ask her if she’s the one responsible!” she continued, about to make a phone call.
Cecilia stopped her. “Cassina, think carefully. If it truly was Queenie who did this, you calling her now would be the same as telling her that Mdm. Bailey is still alive. Given how malicious the Jamieson family is, do you think that she wouldn’t try to make another attempt on Mdm. Bailey’s life?”
Cassina froze, then asked, “What should we do then?”
“For now, let’s wait for Mdm. Bailey to regain consciousness first,” Cecilia suggested. “Once she’s awake, we might be able to figure out who tried to harm her.”
Cassina bobbed her head. “Okay.”
She returned to the bedside and sat next to her mother, her heart filled with agony.
Had it not been for my and Dylan’s sakes, she wouldn’t have had to endure such great hardship. Indeed, everything comes with a price.
Cecilia and Sven left to give Cassina and Bailey some time alone.
However, he had installed surveillance cameras in the ward. If Cassina tried to harm Bailey, everything would be clearly captured, and they would be able to intervene in time already undergoing treatment. The doctor says that his condition is under control. As long as he continues with his treatment and takes his medication, there won’t be any major issues.”
It was unclear whether it was because of what she said, but tears suddenly started trickling down from the corner of Bailey’s eye, who had been lying unresponsive on the hospital bed all this while.
“Mom!” Cassina cried out in alarm, “A doctor! We need a doctor here, quick!”
It was not long before a medical team arrived to treat Bailey.
Over an hour later, the doctor emerged and informed them, “There’s a good chance the patient will wake up soon. If your family has the time, try to keep her company as much as possible. Talk to her more and encourage her.”
“Of course,” Cassina responded, nodding.
After the doctor left, Cecilia glanced at the time. It was nearly one o’clock in the morning.
Since she was pregnant, it would not do her good to stay up late. “Cassina, it’s getting late. Let’s and rest.”
Cassina shook her head. “My mom is currently lying on a hospital bed. With her in that state, how could I possibly sleep? I don’t want to sleep. You guys go and rest. I’ll stay here with her.”
“All right,” Cecilia replied, casting a glance at Sven.
He caught on immediately and had his men take turns monitoring the surveillance cameras to prevent anything from happening to Bailey.
Cecilia went to stay at a nearby hotel for the night.
After lying down on the bed, she took out her phone and saw that she had an unread message.
