When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1023

Chapter 1023 Fire Her
Cassandra was carried out, and Nicholas accompanied her to the hospital.

The turmoil there had also come to the attention of Miranda and Jessica, and the two were gloating.

“I was wondering why Cassandra would let Cecilia liaise with her. Turns out, she was plotting against Cecilia. I just didn't expect her to be so ruthless, to harm her own child just to get at Cecilia,” Miranda, as a mother, would naturally never gamble with her own son's welfare.

She assumed that Cassandra was framing Cecilia, but she was unaware that it was indeed Cecilia who had pushed Cassandra.

Jessica poured her a glass of water and said, “I just don't know if Cassandra can actually cause Cecilia any trouble.”

“Don't worry. Cassandra's mother, Queenie, is no pushover. If her daughter is being bullied, she will surely not let Cecilia off the hook.” Miranda knew the Jamieson family was involved in Elliot's kidnapping and Cecilia's face disfigurement.

Only then did Jessica feel at ease.

“By the way, how have things been between you and Nathaniel lately?” Miranda asked.

Jessica's expression subtly shifted. “It's quite good.”

“Why haven't you gone there to keep him company?”

“Nathaniel has just gotten divorced. It wouldn't be right for me to find him right away,” Jessica explained.

Hearing those words, Miranda decided not to ask any further questions.

A while later, Cassandra had undergone a full-body check-up at the hospital, and the child was unharmed.

However, she couldn't accept it.

“Luckily, our child is fine.” She grasped Nicholas' hand. “Nicholas, no matter what, I need you to fire Cecilia. She's too malicious.”

Nicholas managed to suppress the distaste welling up within him, not pulling away from her grasp. “Cecilia is placed there by Mom's arrangement. If you want to fire her, you must first seek Mom's approval.”

Seek Mom's approval? Cassandra knew that this was just Nicholas' excuse. He simply adores Cecilia, which is why he can't bear to fire her!

Cassandra lowered her head. “Nicholas, I need to be on anti-abortifacient for the pregnancy. I'll be staying in the hospital.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she asked again, “Nicholas, when are we getting married? My belly is getting bigger and bigger now.”

“When do you want to get married?” Nicholas counter-questioned her.

“Of course, the sooner the better.” Cassandra was afraid that Nicholas would be taken away from her.

“Let's get married once the collaboration between the Jamieson and Rainsworth families is finalized,” Nicholas proposed at a leisurely pace.

Cassandra's eyes were filled with surprise and delight. “Really? In that case, we must start preparing for the wedding immediately.”

“Yes. You don't need to worry about these things. I'll have someone take care of it.”

After offering Cassandra a good deal of comfort, Nicholas finally left the hospital.

Upon reaching the hospital's exterior, he was enveloped in a chilling sensation.

It was the first time Jocelyn had seen him emanating such a cold aura. “Mr. Rainsworth, has Ms. Evans thrown another tantrum?” she asked.
