Chapter 1234
Chapter 1234 Do Not Resemble Each Other
Queenie was left perplexed. If Dylan had inherited his diabetes from Cassina, then did Cassina also inherit it from her own family?
But there was no history of diabetes in Queenie’s lineage, nor in that of her former lover. She felt unsettled but didn’t let it show. Instead, she tried to comfort Cassina.
“Don’t blame yourself, Cassie,” Queenie said softly. “Every mother just wants her child to be healthy.”
Cassina nodded in agreement. “Yeah.”
Queenie looked at Cassina, her eyes filled with mixed emotions. A surge of guilt swept over her.
How could I ever doubt my own daughter? I’ve spent so many years searching for her. There’s no room for doubts anymore: Cassina has to be my long–lost child. I can’t lose her again.
Turning to the doctor, Queenie’s voice was heavy with emotion. “Doctor, do whatever it takes. Spare no expense. My grandson has to be cured. If you manage that, your hospital will be the talk of the town.”
The doctor nodded earnestly. “We’ll do everything we can to ensure his recovery, Mdm. Queenie.”
Queenie gave a small nod.
Cassandra, who had been waiting impatiently nearby, couldn’t help but let her mind wander.
She had come all this way with Dylan for treatment, but her thoughts kept drifting back to Nicholas. Was he managing the company well in her absence? And was Cecilia using this time to get closer to him?
“Mom, you and Cassina should get some rest,” Cassandra suggested. “The doctor said Dylan’s in good hands now.”
Queenie, trying to prioritize her daughters‘ well–being, nodded. “Yes, we should take a break and let him rest. Come on, Cassie, let’s grab something to cat and rest for a bit.
“All right,” Cassina agreed, following her.
As they left, Cassandra trailed behind, observing the two of them. Queenie and Cassina walked side by side, looking every bit like a mother and daughter.
Jealousy gnawed at Cassandra. She felt a bitter resentment rising within her.
If only I could reveal Cassina’s deception… but that wouldn’t work. If Queenie ever found out the truth, she’d continue searching for her real daughter, and what if she discovered that daughter was Cecilia? She’ll shower Cecilia with the love she’s showing Cassina now.
The thought–sent a chill down Cassandra’s spine. Steeling herself, she forced a smile and walked up to them.
Queenie turned, noticing Cassandra’s distant look. “Cassandra, you’re pregnant. Why don’t you head back home and rest?” Queenie suggested gently.
“No, I’m fine, really. I can stay and help, Cassandra reped, though her heart was already elsewhere started, and Cassina and I can manage. You should focus on yourself and Nicholas. Take this time to build your relationship.”
With a forced smile, Cassandra agreed. “All right, I’ll head back for now. But please keep me updated.”
“Okay.” Queenie nodded.
Cassandra quickly left. She couldn’t wait to get back.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Once she was gone, Queenie turned to Cassina. A question that had been on her mind surfaced, “Cassie, does your husband’s family have a history of diabetes?”
Cassina, not thinking much of it, shook her head. “I don’t think so. I’ve never heard of it.”
Queenie’s worries deepened, but she didn’t press further.
When they reached the hotel, Queenie encouraged Cassina to rest while she herself took a walk.
Once Cassina left. Queenie called her assistant, needing to voice her concerns. “Do you think Cassina resembles me?”
Previously. Queenie had heard numerous people mention that Cassina bore no resemblance to her. She simply assumed it was due to her past cosmetic surgery and didn’t pay it any mind.
The assistant, who had worked with Queenie for many years, hesitated before answering honestly. To be honest, you and Ms. Cassina don’t look very much alike. Not in appearance, and even her demeanor is quite different from yours.”
