When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686 Watch A Musical
Paula had a restless night, and to her surprise, the very next morning, Cassandra came to visit her.

“Mom, how are you feeling now?” she asked.

Paula's face instantly lit up with joy, “I'm feeling much better now.”

Cassandra, hesitant to ask for money outright, began ingratiating herself with Paula instead. “The weather's lovely today. How about getting some fresh air? I can take you out for a walk.”

Paula, however, shook her head. “Cassandra, I would like to go watch a musical.”

She had always loved musicals and once dreamt of performing in one. However, circumstances beyond her control forced her to abandon that aspiration.

“Mom, you're not well. What if something happens?” Cassandra hesitated to take Paula far, knowing her condition often caused frequent urination, and she dreaded the possibility of an embarrassing situation.

“The doctor said I'm recovering well. I'll be fine,” Paula insisted, her eyes filled with a quiet yearning. “Please, let's go together.”

“Fine, I'll book the tickets. We'll go see it tonight.” Left with no other choice, Cassandra had to agree.

Meanwhile, Cecilia received two musical tickets from Eric, whom she hadn't heard from in quite some time.

Along with the tickets came a message: Ceci, I was hoping to come back earlier and take you out to dinner, but alas, work has kept me captive. A friend of mine passed along these tickets, and it would be a shame to let them go to waste. How about you enjoy them for me?

Eric knew that Cecilia was quite interested in musicals.

Cecilia replied: All right, thank you.

With the two tickets in hand, Cecilia pondered for a moment before deciding to invite Vivian. It had been a long time since the two of them had spent any quality time together, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to finally reconnect.

In the afternoon, Cecilia dolled herself up while Nathaniel and Elliot sat in the living room.

Nathaniel seemed disappointed. “Ceci, why didn't you invite me?”

“Vivian and I haven't seen each other in such a long time,” she explained.

Elliot, too, pouted. “Mommy, I want to go with you, too.”

“I'm sorry, sweetie. I need some time with my friends.”

A lot had been going on recently. She wanted to have fun with Vivian and clear her mind.
