Chapter 1286 How Did She End Up Like This
“Find someone to tail Cassina. See where she’s going and what she’s up to.”
Cassina is my trump card. I can’t afford any mistakes.
After ending the call, Cassandra returned to her room to rest.
Meanwhile, Cassina had already made her way outside where Cecilia’s car was waiting. She opened the car door and climbed in, completely oblivious to the fact that someone was following her.
There was an anxious look in her eyes as she asked, “Ms. Smith, where’s my mother? Is she okay?”
Having gone so many days without being able to reach her mother, she could not help but fear the worst.
Cecilia looked at Cassina. It doesn’t seem as though she’s aware of what’s really going on.
“You’ll find out later,” she replied.
Not long after Sven started driving, he noticed that someone was tailing them.
He frowned slightly. “Hold tight. A car is following us.”
“Huh? Who would be following us?” Cassina asked, stunned.
He did not respond. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator, swiftly navigating through the unending stream of traffic.
In less than ten minutes, he managed to lose the car that had been tailing them.
Although Cecilia had been prepared for that, she still almost threw up.
As for Cassina, she was feeling even more dizzy. “That was way too fast.”
“I’ve shaken them off already,” said Sven.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
After settling back into her seat, Cecilia glanced over her shoulder and did not spot any other vehicles.
She asked Sven, “When did that car start following us?”
“Not long after Ms. Cassina got in the car,” came his reply.
Upon hearing that, Cassina was dumbfounded. “Do you mean that I was being followed?”
He neither confirmed nor denied it.
A sense of unease filled her heart, and she could not stop herself from glancing repeatedly in the rearview mirror. “Who would be following me? Could it be Queenie Jamieson?”
Cecilia noticed that she referred to Queenie by her full name. It appears she’s well aware that she’s not Queenie’s biological daughter.

Cassina nodded.

Nobody said anything more as Sven drove toward the neighboring city. In order to save time, he even took the highway.
It was eleven o’clock at night when they finally reached the hospital.
When Cassina was led to the hospital entrance, she was still somewhat confused. “Why is my mom in here?”
Cecilia made no response and merely followed Sven into the building.
They walked down the hospital corridor, the scent of disinfectant pervading the air. Then, Sven came to a stop before the entrance of an unassuming ward.
There were even two people standing guard at the door. Upon seeing Sven, they immediately bowed. “Boss.”
He murmured an acknowledgment before saying, “You can go and take a break now.”
“Okay
After handing Sven the keys to the ward, they left the hospital.
Sven opened the door to the ward, and Cassina hurried forward impatiently. With just one glance, she saw Bailey lying on the hospital bed, injured and unconscious.
Bailey was hooked up to a variety of medical devices, and the ECG machine beside her was emitting a faint beeping.
Cassina’s eyes instantly welled up with tears as she threw herself at Bailey’s side.
“Mom! How did you end up like this?”
I had always assumed that she was hiding out of fear that Queenie would discover my true identity. It never crossed mind that it wasn’t so and that she was severely injured!
She reached out to hold Bailey’s hand, only to discover that it was covered in wounds.
Afraid of hurting Bailey, she carefully loosened her grip.
Cecilia observed her every move closely. If this isn’t all an act, then she probably wasn’t the one who harmed Bailey.
Turning to look at them, Cassina asked, “How did my mom end up like this?”

Chapter 1287 An Unread Message
Sven told Cassina everything he knew.
Shock filled Cassina’s eyes. “Someone was out to get her?”
She still found that somewhat hard to believe. After all, they had just been ordinary people in the past, without money or power. They had not offended anyone, so there was simply no reason for anyone to want to harm them.
But now…
