Chapter 1239 I Need You To Expose Her
Cassandra rushed to the hospital in a flurry. When she saw Jocelyn standing by Nicholas‘ bedside, frustration welled up within her. “Why is Nicholas in the hospital? Haven’t you been taking proper care of him?”
The barrage of accusations roused Nicholas from his sleep, causing him to furrow his brows involuntarily.
He said to Jocelyn. “You should go back and rest first.”
“All right.” Jocelyn nodded, politely excusing herself from the ward.
Cassandra’s mood soured further as she watched Nicholas defend his assistant. She voiced her displeasure, “Nicholas, are you upset because I reprimanded her? I’m just worried about you. Besides, the doctor mentioned that I’m pregnant, so the hormonal changes are causing mood swings.”
Nicholas listened in silence, his expression unreadable Instead of responding to her complaint, he asked, “Weren’t you supposed to accompany your sister for your nephew’s check–up? Why are you back so soon?”
“The check–up was nearly over, so Mom asked me to leave early,” Cassandra replied softly, leaning closer to him as she spoke. “After all, we just got married and should spend more time together.”
Cassandra’s attempt to move closer made Nicholas visibly uncomfortable, a chill settling in his eyes.
He brushed her off without a moment’s hesitation.
His lack of patience and affection left Cassandra feeling somewhat annoyed. “Nicholas, do I have to remind you that we’re married?”
Nicholas calmly looked at her. “Cassandra, please.”
A lump formed in Cassandra’s throat, rendering her unable to say anything more.
Doubt began to cloud her mind. Could it be that Nicholas is incapable as a man? Otherwise, why would he have accepted me and the child I’m carrying so easily?All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
That thought that emerged out of nowhere immediately clouded her thoughts more intensely.
“I’m going out for some fresh air. Cassandra walked out.
She felt deeply worried at that moment, fearing the emptiness of her married life.
Once outside, Cassandra was about to take a stroll in the hospital garden when a nurse approached her. “Are you a relative of the patient in Room 308?”
“Yes, what’s the matter? Cassandra asked, puzzled,
“Nothing urgent. It’s just that two family members of the patient earlier paid more than they should have, and we can’t seem to reach them. Could you help us get in touch with them?” the nurse inquired.
Cassandra was confused. When she had arrived, only Jocelyn had been present. Theo family members? Who else was there?
“Sure. But I just arrived, so don’t know who the two family members are. Would you mind if I take a look “Sure.
From the surveillance footage, Cassandra saw that Cecilia and Jocelyn had accompanied Nicholas to the hospital.
This explained Nicholas’s distant behavior towards her she suspected he had been spending time with Cecilia during her absence in Tudela. Hore could Cecilia by involved in something as significant as his being sent to the hospital? Did something happen between them before this medical emergency?
Cassandra’s mind was in a whirl. After instructing the nurse to give her the extra money, she left the hospital
Even after her departure, Miranda’s words still echoed in her thoughts.
“That b*tch! Why is she always trying to steal my man” Cassandra was so furious that she wished she could kill Cecilia.
However, the increased number of guards assigned to ensure Cecilia’s safety made it nearly impossible for anyone to get close to her.
Furthermore, Nathaniel’s regained vision made him even more difficult to deal with.
Regardless of the circumstances, Cassandra was determined to find an opportunity to get rid of Cecilia once and for all.
Overwhelmed with resentment, she pulled out her phone and dialed Brooklyn, who worked in the information technology industry. “Aunt Brooklyn, I need your help. That woman has gone too far. I need you to expose her.”
