When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1740 We Have Been Deceived

Queenie gripped her phone, almost bursting into tears. "Ceci... Ceci has been found."

Cassandra had also spent the night without sleep, but upon hearing these words, she instantly perked up.

"Where is she?"

"She's been taken to the hospital, but it doesn't appear to be anything serious," Queenie replied with a smile. Then, she turned to Scorpius. "Let's go. We should head back quickly. We need to check on Ceci. She must be terrified."

"All right." Scorpius felt a wave of relief wash over him.

They were so elated that they failed to notice the gradual pallor creeping onto Cassandra's face.

How is this possible?

How did they find her?

Cassandra's figure wavered, and she felt as if she might topple over at any moment.

Seeing that Queenie and the others were about to leave, Cassandra's assistant asked, "Ms. Evans, should we follow them?"

Cassandra nodded stiffly. "Of course!"

She needed to confirm with her own eyes whether Cecilia was truly alive.

As she settled into the car, her hand, still clutching her phone, trembled subtly.

At the hospital, after a thorough medical examination, it was determined that there was nothing wrong with Cecilia. She was simply extremely exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep.

She only had minor scrapes on her hands and legs.

After sleeping for several hours, Cecilia finally woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Nathaniel right there by her side.

"How do you feel?" Nathaniel asked.

"I'm fine, just... a bit hungry and thirsty."

Since she had been kidnapped yesterday, Cecilia hadn't eaten anything.

Nathaniel quickly got up, poured her a glass of water, and had someone bring over some food.

When Queenie and the others arrived outside the hospital ward, they saw Cecilia eating voraciously.

She hurried in, her excitement palpable. "Ceci! This can't be a dream, can it?" Cecilia was somewhat taken aback by her sudden actions.

"What's the matter?"

Queenie shook her head. "It's nothing. Tell me, who took you away? And how did you manage to escape?"

Cecilia was just about to respond when she saw Cassandra walking in from outside the door.

"Ceci, I'm glad you're all right," Cassandra said, her smile not quite reaching her eyes.

At that moment, Cassandra felt

relieved that she hadn't revealed et

herself. She believed Cecilia was

unaware that she was the one who

had acted against her.

"I only know someone paid to have me killed, but I have no idea who that person is," Cecilia responded.

Cassandra quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Queenie clenched her fists. "I must find out who that person is. I swear they won't get away with this!"

Noticing Queenie's worried expression, Cecilia reassured her, "I'm all right now, don't worry."

"Okay." Queenie nodded, yet she was reluctant to leave.

Scorpius stepped forward. "You haven't rested all night. Why don't you take a break first? Once you're rested, you can come back to see Ms. Cecilia."

Queenie shook her head. "No, I want to stay here with Ceci."

Scorpius knew she was stubborn, and there was nothing he could do about it.

This time, Cecilia didn't refuse

Queenie's company. Instead, she

suggested to Scorpius, "Mr. Jiminez,

why not arrange a bed in here?

Mdm. Queenie can sleep next to

me"

Queenie's eyes brightened, yet a trace of uncertainty lingered in her gaze. With a

slight tremor in her voice, she asked, "Can I?"

"Of course." Cecilia nodded.

Queenie urged Scorpius to make the necessary arrangements.

They appeared joyful, making Cassandra feel out of place.noveldrama

She left the ward and confronted Ralph, "Dad, didn't you say Cecilia was dead? I

just saw her in the hospital, perfectly fine. We've been deceived."
