When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1919

Chapter 1919 Do Not Get Worked Up
Outside, the cold wind howled against the window.

“I believe he probably wouldn't have,” Queenie murmured, her eyes clouded with guilt. “Just like me... If I hadn't known you were my daughter, I would have continued siding with Cassandra without hesitation. I've been a terrible person.”

A tightness formed in Cecilia's throat.

“Mom, it's okay. You didn't hurt anyone, and I don't blame you.”

Until now, she had never harbored resentment toward her mother.

Perhaps, in some way, that was its own form of selfishness.

“Nobody's perfect. We're not saints,” Cecilia murmured, her eyes tinged with red.

Queenie shook her head. “You may not blame me, but I blame myself. I feel like I've turned into one of those villains I once despised. That's why I believe my sickness, my death, is my punishment. Scorpius was right. When you do something wrong, you have to face the consequences.”

She looked at Cecilia and continued, “After I'm gone, Scorpius will turn himself in. When that time comes, don't stop him. Let him find peace within himself.”

An unbearable ache settled in Cecilia's heart when she heard Queenie speak of death.

“Mom, let's not talk about this. Everything's going to be fine... You're going to be fine...”

“Ceci, now that you've taken over Jamieson Group, you have to be true to yourself, and above all, never cause harm to others. Always remember that. Of course, if anyone tries to hurt you, don't be afraid. You must stand your ground and protect yourself.”

Cecilia nodded firmly. “Yes, I understand.”

Queenie gently caressed Cecilia's head, still feeling uneasy.

She yearned to stay in this world a little longer, to spend more time with her daughter.

However, she could feel that her body might not last until the next spring.

Perhaps due to exhaustion from speaking so much, she closed her eyes and succumbed to a deep sleep.

Cecilia tucked her in carefully before lying beside her to rest.
