When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1748

Chapter 1748 The Two Have Reconciled
After Queenie finished getting her wound looked at, she didn't hesitate to call Cecilia over.

Cecilia approached her and took a seat. Feeling a tad awkward, she called out, “Mom.”

Queenie's eyes curved gently with her smile, radiating warmth from their depths.

“Hello.” She slowly lifted her hand, intending to reach for Cecilia. However, worried about Cecilia potentially rejecting her, she left her hand hanging in mid-air.

Upon seeing that, Cecilia leaned closer without any hesitation.

At this point, Queenie finally dared to touch Cecilia. She cautiously stroked the latter's head, then gently embraced her.

“Ceci, my Ceci...” she chanted over and over, cradling the person in her arms as if Cecilia were a rare treasure.

Cecilia had never dared to imagine that she, too, would one day experience familial affection or receive such maternal love.

“I'm here, Mom,” she replied gently.

When Nathaniel found out about the incident, he rushed over in a hurry. He arrived at the doorway just in time to catch sight of this scene.

Now, the mother and daughter had completely reconciled, fully acknowledging each other.

Scorpius was smiling ear to ear. “How wonderful! Ceci has finally accepted Mdm. Queenie as her mother.”

Nathaniel also nodded in agreement. “Yes, this is what Ceci has always wanted the most.”

The two of them left in silent agreement, leaving the mother and daughter alone to spend time together.

Cecilia allowed herself to be held by Queenie for a long while before she asked to examine the latter's wound.

“Let me see how bad the injury is,” said Cecilia.

Queenie brushed it off nonchalantly. “It's nothing, just a minor skin injury. The doctor said it's only a small cut.”

She was particularly spirited at that moment, and even if the wound was hurting, she likely wouldn't feel a thing.

“Don't do something like this again in the future. Always prioritize yourself,” Cecilia advised.

Queenie, however, didn't agree. “What nonsense are you talking about? Where in the world can you find a mother who doesn't put her child first? Silly.”
