Chapter 1647 Talk Big

Cecilia didn't respond. Instead, she briskly walked away.

In a rush, Queenie urged Cassandra to go stop her.

Cassandra, however, refused to go over. "Mom, you shouldn't favor her so much. You're not in the best of health, yet you insist on waking up early every day to prepare breakfast and lunch for Cecilia and the others. I won't stop her."

"Cassandra, you didn't know what happened. If it wasn't for Ceci earlier, my fall would have been much worse." Before losing consciousness, Queenie realized that she had fallen onto Cecilia, who had used her body to shield her.

However, she didn't expect Cassandra to say, "That was what she was supposed to do. After all, she is your daughter. If it were me, I would do the same."

Queenie looked at Cassandra. Even though Cassandra spoke with such certainty, she couldn't bring herself to believe it.

Then, she sighed. "You should go home. I need some time alone."

Cassandra didn't want to stay in the hospital forever, either. "All right, I'm leaving then."

Only after seeing Cassandra had left did Caliste step in.

Queenie urgently instructed her, "Send someone to check on Ceci. Her health has always been fragile. I hope I haven't made it worse because of me."

"All right." Caliste nodded.

Afterward, she couldn't help but say, "Mdm. Queenie, I think Ms. Cecilia is better. Ms. Evans only talks big."

Cecilia protected Queenie to her detriment, yet all Cassandra did was talk.

With the way she hastily left the hospital, no one knew what was going through her mind.

Of course, Queenie could tell what Caliste said.

She was clearly distressed. "Yes, I know that Ceci is superior to Cassandra in many ways, but I raised Cassandra on my own. The way she turned out, I bear some responsibility too."

Upon hearing that, Caliste found it difficult to respond.

After leaving, Cecilia had her wounds tended to by a doctor in a straightforward manner before returning to the company.

Charlotte and the others immediately turned to her. "Boss, are you all right?"

She carefully examined Cecilia's physical condition, confirming that it was only minor external injuries before she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Cecilia comforted her, "It's all right. There's nothing to worry about."

Charlotte sighed. "Boss, you really scared me. How could you use your body to shield Mdm. Queenie? What if something had happened to you?"

Cecilia couldn't help but shake her head. "I wasn't sure what came over me. I just instinctively went to catch her."

Charlotte nodded. "Perhaps this is what they mean by the bond of blood being thicker than water." Cecilia smiled bitterly. "It's not necessarily so. If you were to fall, I would do the same for you." Overwhelmed with emotion, Charlotte immediately embraced her. "No need. I'm still young. You don't need to catch me with your body."

The two of them had been talking for quite a while before Charlotte finally asked Cecilia, "By the way, is Mdm. Queenie all right now?"

During their time spent together in those days, Charlotte realized that Queenie wasn't as bad as she initially thought.

"The doctor mentioned it was some old ailment," Cecilia responded. "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics."

"She was a big shot, wasn't she? How come she had a serious illness before?" Charlotte didn't understand.

Cecilia had no idea what was going on, but she noticed that Queenie's health had been increasingly deteriorating lately.

Without giving it much further thought, Cecilia sent Charlotte off to work.

She went to work herself, yet her mind would occasionally drift back to the time when she saved Queenie. She also couldn't forget the worry she felt when Queenie was taken into the operating room.

The ring of the telephone snapped Cecilia back to reality.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was Queenie who was calling. After a moment of hesitation, she answered the call. "Mdm. Queenie."noveldrama

"Are you okay, Ceci?" asked Queenie.
