When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1380 Lost Everything

Stella stared at the scenery speeding past the window. "If you don't like me, I'll destroy you. If I can't have you, then Cecilia won't get you either."

Her fists clenched tightly, her nails digging so deeply into her palms that they drew blood.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Meanwhile, Cecilia sat in Sven's car as they made their way to the psychiatric hospital.

Inside the hospital, Cassina sat in a daze. She had lost everything. Her mother, Bailey, had passed away, her son's whereabouts were unknown, and her husband had disappeared. She regretted everything deeply. Why had she ever been greedy?

If she hadn't coveted wealth, her family wouldn't have ended up like this even though they were poor.

Cassina was certain that Cassandra, being the vicious person she was, would never let her go. Once she died, it would likely mean the end for her son and husband as well.

Unwilling to accept this fate, Cassina had tried to escape several times, only to be caught and brought back.

As she leaned against the wall, lost in thought, the door to her room creaked open. Instinctively, she curled up in the corner, terrified that someone had come to give her another injection or force more medication on her. But instead, the nurse who entered quickly closed the door behind her.

It took Cassina a moment to recognize the figure. "Ms. Smith?"

Cecilia nodded in acknowledgment.

She glanced around the room. It was a dilapidated space, barely big enough to hold a single, narrow bed. There wasn't even a table or chair.

Once Cassina was certain of Cecilia's identity, she grabbed her arm as if clutching a lifeline. "Ms. Smith, I know I was wrong. Please help me! Help me find Dylan! I don't know where he is or how he's doing." Cecilia didn't respond immediately to her plea. Instead, she said, "I came here because I have questions for you."

Hearing this, Cassina made her up mind.

"Ms. Smith, you don't have to ask. I'll tell you everything I know."

As expected, Cassina had been hiding something significant from her.

Cecilia sat down on the edge of the bed, ready to listen.

"My mother used to take care of your nanny, right? Your nanny told her about the orphanage where you were adopted. She asked my mother to contact the director and see if there was any information about your biological parents. Not long after, the director came back with news, and Queenie found her way to our house! She thought I was the baby girl adopted from the orphanage!"

After Cassina gave a brief explanation, Cecilia's mind felt like it was exploding. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Are you saying that Queenie is my biological mother?"

Cassina nodded emphatically.

"Unless there's been a mistake, she's

your real mother. While I was staying at the Jamieson residence, I overheard her say that you were taken by one of her rivals right after you were born. They took you while she was weak from childbirth. She's been searching for you all these years. The orphanage also confirmed that only two babies were brought in that day-a boy and a girl. You are definitely Queenie's daughter!"

Cecilia still couldn't believe it.

"How can you be so sure?" she asked.

"Because Cassandra is terrified of you and Queenie reuniting. I think Cassandra must have secretly run a DNA test on you two."

The weight of this revelation left Cecilia in stunned silence.

Cassina knelt before her. "Ms. Smith,

my mother and I were wrong. We thought that by pretending to be Queenie's daughter, we'd become the Jamieson family's heiress and could save Dylan. That's why we took your place. I regret it so much. If Lcould go back, I'd never have done it. Please, I'm begging you, help me save my son! If you agree, I'll do whatever it takes to repay you, even if it means being your servant for the rest of my life."
