When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1823

Chapter 1823 Hold Back Your Tears
Yuliana's eyes were filled with anxiety.

The doctor removed his mask, his expression troubled. “She's temporarily out of immediate danger, but... you're well aware of her current physical condition. She won't be able to hold on for long.”

Yuliana's figure swayed slightly. “Could it be because the food she ate a few days ago was off?”

The doctor questioned, “Were you not aware that her health was already at its breaking point?”

Yuliana's pupils suddenly constricted. She couldn't believe it, murmuring to herself, “How could this be?”

The doctor looked at her, somewhat puzzled by her behavior.

At that moment, Cecilia was standing before the doctor, completely unfazed. She was not taken aback because she had known all along.

“Thank you, doctor,” she said, her voice hoarse.

The doctor gave a slight nod. “It's all right. During these final moments, just try to spend some quality time with the patient.”

“All right.” Cecilia watched as the doctor left, and Queenie was wheeled back into the ward.

Yuliana belatedly realized what was going on. She turned to look at Cecilia and couldn't help but ask, “Cecilia, did you know about Aunt Queenie's health condition all along?”

Cecilia didn't hide anything.

“Yeah, I only found out a few days ago, too. That was when you were being manipulated by Cassandra. I was worried about Mom's health, so I asked the doctor who was examining her to help out. That's when I found out she had been hiding her illness from us.”

Yuliana's eyes were rimmed with red. She was choked to the point where she struggled to speak. “How could this be...”

Enduring her heartache, Cecilia comforted, “Don't cry. Everything will be all right... We'll see her in a bit. You must hold back your tears, understand?”

She knew for sure that Queenie would not appreciate their tears.

Yuliana nodded. “All right, I won't cry anymore. Her illness is so severe, she's more vulnerable than us now. We must stay strong, keep her company, and help her fight off this disease.”

Cecilia forced out a smile. “Yes, that's right.”
