When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1826

Chapter 1826 Could Not Sleep
Cecilia thought perhaps it was because she had never experienced a mother's affection before. Then, one day, she received it. She assumed that was probably why she was so terrified of losing it.

After repeatedly dousing himself with cold water, Cecilia finally managed to soothe her troubled mind somewhat before stepping out of the bathroom.

At night, Cecilia sent Nathaniel back to look after Elliot, while she chose to stay behind to keep Queenie company.

Yuliana also wanted to stay.

Left with no other choice, Queenie reluctantly agreed to their stay.

By the time night rolled around, the pain in Queenie's body had become particularly pronounced.

She gritted her teeth, utterly unable to fall asleep.

Cecilia had noticed it and approached her. “Mom, if you can't sleep, let's chat for a bit. I'm not sleepy anyway.”

Yuliana was also repeatedly nodding in agreement. “Indeed, Aunt Queenie, how about a chat?”

Queenie readily agreed. “All right.”

Yuliana initiated the conversation. “Cecilia, could you tell me about your early childhood? I don't know much about it.”

When Cecilia recalled that period, she chose not to mention anything that was unpleasant, only focusing on the happy moments. “Actually, there isn't much to tell. Back then, I was living with my nanny, Martha. One day, after school...”

Yuliana and Queenie listened quietly.

Queenie especially listened with exceptional attentiveness, despite the fact that it was a rather ordinary matter. It was as if she were trying to glimpse into Cecilia's past through that story.

Yuliana occasionally chimed in with a few words.

The three of them were engrossed in conversation, their attention diverted. Thanks to that, Queenie felt as though her pain had significantly subsided.

By the time it was ten o'clock at night, Queenie decided to change the topic.

She knew that Cecilia had surgery scheduled for the next day, so she couldn't afford to delay the latter any longer.

Thus, pretending to be tired, she yawned. “I'm genuinely tired this time. Let's sleep.”
