When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1763

Chapter 1763 Cassandra And Her Idea
Cassandra requested a visit to see her daughter. With the last of her remaining funds, she hired a lawyer. Given Dahlia's critical condition, the prison granted her a day to visit.

At the hospital, she stood by the sickbed, gazing down at the frail, pale-faced child. But there was no trace of maternal love in her eyes—only seething resentment.

“This is all your fault!” She placed a hand around the child's delicate neck.

Dahlia, too young and too weak, didn't cry or struggle.

Every time Cassandra thought about how Nicholas had used Dahlia as a tool for revenge, a dark hatred consumed her. If only this child had never existed.

The lawyer, Jonas, approached. “Ms. Evans.”

Cassandra quickly withdrew her hand, masking her emotions with an expression of helplessness. “Mr. Jonas, look,” she said, her voice pitiful. “My child is still so young, and there's no one else to care for her. You have to help me—I can't stay behind bars.”

Jonas was unaware of Cassandra's true nature. Seeing the frail child, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

“Ms. Evans, rest assured, your case will be handled with discretion.” His words implied that her sentence might be reduced.

A flicker of triumph flashed in Cassandra's eyes—she hadn't expected this sickly child to be useful to her.

That day, she played the role of a devoted mother, tenderly caring for Dahlia. She even had Jonas take photos and videos, hoping to garner sympathy and sway public opinion in her favor.

Meanwhile, Queenie received word of the situation.

She frowned. “Cassandra doesn't even love that child. Will she truly care for her now?”

Caliste shook her head. “Not a chance. She's just trying to manipulate people's emotions.”

Queenie sighed. “That poor child.”

Hearing this, Cecilia couldn't help but ask, “Isn't Dahlia their biological daughter? Do they not care about their own child?”

“Didn't you know, Ceci? Dahlia isn't actually Nicholas's child. Cassandra had her by accident.” She gave Cecilia a brief rundown of the situation.

Of course, aside from Cassandra and Nicholas, no one else knew that Cassandra's pregnancy had been orchestrated by Nicholas himself.
