When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1861

Chapter 1861 The Process Begins
After hearing this, Queenie felt overjoyed on Dahlia's behalf. “Dahlia is blessed that you want to adopt her.”

She had initially thought that if the Rainsworth family did not want to take in Dahlia, she would then raise the child herself.

Regrettably, she didn't have much time left to live.

Now that Meredith was willing to adopt the child, it truly was a blessing.

“I feel as if I'm the one who's blessed to be able to adopt her.”

Meredith looked at Dahlia, feeling as if this child were her own daughter.

Queenie nodded, “Yeah. I just don't know how difficult the adoption process for her would be.”

Once Cassandra had been sentenced, she would lose custody of Dahlia.

Hence, the decision would lie in Nicholas' hands.

After all, he was Dahlia's father still, in name at least.

Meredith understood it too. “I'll go and inquire with Cassandra today. Once things are sorted out on her end, I'll meet Nicholas.”

“Sure.” Queenie nodded.

Cecilia was now able to leave the hospital.

She said to Meredith, “If you encounter any difficulties, remember to let me know.”

She felt that Meredith's intention to adopt Dahlia was not going to be easy.

Meredith didn't show hesitation in accepting her help. “Alright.”

After she finished speaking, she turned to Dahlia and said, “Dahlia, for now, you should stay in the hospital until you're fully recovered. Once you're better, I'll take you home, okay?”

After hearing this, Dahlia immediately reached out to her, fearing she would just leave her behind.

Meredith held Dahlia in his arms, gently soothing her.

“Don't worry,” he assured, “I'll expedite your adoption process. Once that's done, we can stay together forever.”
