SWNOVELS Chapter 787
Chapter 787 Her Arrogance All Gone
“What’s the point of invalidating Cecilia’s will? Evans Group has already been transferred by Dad, and Cecilia only got a small amount of money.” Cassandra immediately lost interest.
Paula was about to speak, but seeing Cassandra’s indifference, she lost the urge to continue.
“I must be getting senile. That bit of money is nothing compared to the Jamieson family’s fortune.”
“Mom, if you don’t have anything else to say, don’t contact me again.”
With that, Cassandra stood up. Perhaps she feared being judged, or maybe she was worried Paula would speak to Queenie.
She pulled out a check and handed it to the caregiver beside her. “Here, this is for this month’s food, medical expenses, and your salary.”
The caregiver immediately took it.
After Cassandra left, the caregiver looked at the check and was surprised to see it was for only thirty thousand.
“Only thirty thousand? That’s not even enough to cover your chemotherapy and other treatments.
Currently, Paula was spending thousands daily just on hospital bills, not to mention the various medications.
“Thirty thousand?” Paula couldn’t believe it either.
The caregiver shook her head, “I told you, this daughter of yours isn’t quite as good as the other one, but you wouldn’t believe me.”
Paula remained silent.
The caregiver noticed that her usual arrogance had disappeared over the past couple of days.
Whether rich or poor, everyone faces death in the end.
Curious, the caregiver asked, “By the way, what were you going to talk about with Ms. Evans earlier?”
Realizing she was nearing the end of her life, Paula decided to speak up.
“I’ll tell you, but you must promise not to tell anyone.”
“Okay,” the caregiver agreed.
Paula revealed the secret she had kept buried in her heart.
After hearing this, the caregiver was utterly stunned. “What? How could you do such a thing?”
“What’s wrong with that? I gave her life! If it weren’t for me, she would have frozen to death long ago!” Paula said, agitated.
“But why didn’t you tell her?”
“Why should I? She’s always opposing me. If it weren’t for her, would I be in this position now?”
Paula blamed everyone but herself for her current situation.
“You’re beyond saving. Think about it. You have a son and two daughters. Now, who’s here taking care of you?” The caregiver was straightforward.
Paula had no response.
Magnus had stopped answering her calls because she hadn’t given him any money. He even went as far as saying that whatever happened to her was none of his concern.
As for Cassandra, it was as if she didn’t even exist.
As for Cecilia….
Paula suddenly remembered the image of a young Cecilia, obedient and eager to please.
“Mom, can you hug me too?”
“Mom, I’ll take care of you in your old age. Let’s not bother others anymore, okay?”
“Mom, I am your daughter too.”
Paula’s mind suddenly became a chaotic mess.
“Have I really been wrong?”
“Of course! You couldn’t be more wrong.”
A sharp pain shot through Paula’s abdomen again. “I don’t believe it. Cassandra must be being used by Queenie. I need to make Queenie see the truth.”
The caregiver had no idea what Paula was rambling on about.
She just saw Paula get out of bed.
“Where are you going?”
The last time Paula had snuck out, her condition had worsened. The caregiver tried to stop her, but Paula snapped at her, “Stay out of it! Get lost!”
The caregiver was at a loss and dared not provoke her further. Remembering the business card Cecilia had left behind, he decided to give Cecilia a call.
“Ms. Smith?”
“I’m the caregiver at the hospital. Your mother is insisting on leaving the hospital for some reason, and I don’t think she’s in good condition. Could you come and check on her?”
Cecilia had just finished breakfast. She had no plans for the day.
“Sure, I’ll come over.”
She was curious to see what state Paula had fallen into now.
