Chapter 701 Candid Words
“Mom, you wet yourself again?” Cassandra exclaimed in disgust.
Paula’s face flushed with embarrassment. Awkwardly, she pulled up the blanket, hoping to mask the unpleasant smell.
Upon seeing her in such a state, Cassandra couldn’t bear it any longer. “Mom, given your current state, why are you afraid of the divorce?”
You don’t have long, and I don’t want you to burden me before your death.
Despite what was on her mind, Cassandra dared not express it.
Paula was extremely embarrassed. “You guys go back first. I need some time to think it through.”
“Make up your mind quickly. If you take too long, Cecilia will have taken all the money away.”
Cassandra didn’t wish to stay here any longer either, so she left with her father.
After they were gone, the caregiver immediately came in.
“Mdm. Paula, are you alright? Should I call a doctor?”
Paula’s eyes were somewhat red as she shook her head. “No need. Could you just change the sheets for me?”
She seldom showed her vulnerability in front of strangers.
The caregiver first helped her up, then went to change the sheets. However, the spot where she had wet the bed was stained bright red.
Despite having cared for numerous patients, the nurse was taken aback by the sight. She exclaimed, “There’s so much blood!”
Upon looking over, Paula narrowed her eyes.
“Quick, get the doctor!”
She was still afraid of death.
The doctor and nurse arrived swiftly, and upon witnessing the scene before them, they didn’t. look surprised.
The nurse informed Paula, “Mdm. Paula, please stay calm. Given the advanced stage of your illness, it’s quite normal to have blood in your urine.”
“I looked it up. Does this mean I have less time to live?” Paula clutched at the nurse’s uniform.
Up until now, she hadn’t prepared herself to face death. She still wanted to fully enjoy life, and wasn’t willing to die just like that.
Neither the nurse nor the doctor had the heart to tell her the truth. They only advised her not to overthink and to rest more.
The caregiver, standing nearby, couldn’t help but sympathize with Paula.
“Mdm. Paula, would you like me to call your daughter and husband, to ask them to return?”
After hearing this, Paula was about to grab her phone. However, she suddenly remembered how Cassandra and Ralph had just forced her to consider a divorce, so she put her phone back down.
Bearing the pain, she looked toward the caregiver and asked, “You heard what my son–in–law said just now, didn’t you? They truly care about me, right?”
Upon hearing these words, the caregiver was momentarily at a loss for words, as she could see things objectively as an outsider.
The caregiver had been listening to the father and daughter pressuring Paula into a divorce on the sidelines. It was clear that both of them harbored no affection for Paula.
As for that person from yesterday….
The caretaker settled down, speaking slowly, “Madam, I don’t like to lie. To be honest, the two who visited today didn’t have your best interests at heart.”
A chill ran through Paula’s heart, but the caregiver had more to say.
“Actually, I can tell that the young lady who came yesterday was not an ungrateful person. I could see affection for you in her eyes.””
The girl from yesterday… Cecilia?
When Paula thought of Cecilia, she couldn’t help but scoff, “How can that be? How could she possibly have any affection for me? I’ve never shown her a kind face since she was a child.”
“She’s not mine-
At this point, Paula fell silent.
Paula said to the caregiver, “Don’t spout nonsense. If it wasn’t for her, Cassandra wouldn’t have even thought of suggesting divorce. I despised her, wishing she would just drop dead right in
front of me.”
The caregiver was perplexed. They are both her daughters, so why does she harbor such resentment toward the girl from yesterday?
“Alright, you think however you want. I personally believe that the lady we met yesterday isn’t
someone wicked.”
Instead, she felt that Cassandra, who came earlier, was the cunning one.
Despite her objection to the caregiver’s opinion, Paula was still unsettled by the words. After she
