When Her “Death” Couldn’t Break Him
Chapter 1318 A Facade
+8 Pearls
Cassina truly hadn’t anticipated that Queenie would employ specialists to treat Bailey. Is it really out of genuine kindness?
On the surface, she remained unruffled. “Thanks, Mom
“It’s the least I can do,” Queenie earnestly said. “She’s had a tough time raising you, and I’ve always wanted. to find a way to express my gratitude. Once she recovers, you must take me to see her.”
“All right.”
After ending the call, Cassina turned to Cecilia and asked, “You heard that, didn’t you?”
“Yes.” Cecilia gave a nod.
“Could she really be that kind–hearted?” Cassina found it hard to believe.
Cecilia wasn’t entirely sure, but she ventured an analysis, saying, “I think if Queenie really wanted to take Mdm. Bailey’s life, she wouldn’t go through such great lengths.”
“What if she’s just putting on a facade?” Cassina still refused to believe that Queenie was a good person. After all, Cassandra had repeatedly tarnished Queenie’s reputation in front of her.
While the two were conversing, the specialists also emerged.
They informed Cassina that there was a possibility Bailey’s illness could be cured. They told her not to
worry.
“How much longer will it probably take?” Cassina immediately asked.
“A week at most,” a doctor replied.
“A week? That’s wonderful. Thank you.” Gratitude filled Cassina’s eyes.
Upon observing, it was clear to Cecilia that Queenie’s act of employing doctors for Bailey was undoubtedly out of kindness.
If Queenie wanted Bailey dead, there was no need to take such a huge risk. If by any chance Bailey was cured, it would be difficult for Queenie to explain when Cassina found out what had happened.
These doctors, entrusted by Queenie, remained there specifically to treat Bailey’s illness.
Feeling somewhat uneasy, Cassina called Queenie and decided to stay.”
Meanwhile, at the Jamieson residence, Cassandra was slightly puzzled. “Mom, why hasn’t Cassie returned home yet today?
“She has gone to take care of her foster mother.” Queenie then told Cassandra about how she had employed doctors to treat Bailey’s illness.
Cassandra was taken aback. “Did those doctors say it would only take a week to cure her?”
“Yes. The neurosurgeons I’ve hired are all reputable. They wouldn’t deceive anyone,” said Queenie as she

Cassandra couldn’t help but feel a sense of panic welling up within her. No! I can’t sit idly and do nothing! I must get rid of Bailey! Otherwise, if Bailey wakes up and identifies me, I’ll be in trouble. Identifying me isn’t the worst part. The real issue is Bailey revealing the truth about who Queenie’s real daughter is!
Queenie noticed something off about her complexion and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to see a doctor?”
Cassandra quickly composed her flustered expression, shaking her head. “No. Not at all. I’m just
concerned about Cassie’s foster mother. After all, she raised Cassie all these years without a day of comfort, and now she’s faced with such a major incident.”
“Yes. I heard she was harmed by someone. I’m currently having people look for the person responsible.” Queenie frowned and continued, “She has done me a great favor. I won’t stand by and let her be victimized for no reason.”
The fear within Cassandra intensified, yet she managed to keep up with the conversation. “Indeed, you’ve always valued relationships and loyalty the most, Mom. I haven’t been particularly busy lately, so I’ll go to the hospital to keep Cassie company and help take care of her.”
“No. You’re pregnant.”
“It’s okay. It’s been stable for three months now.”
After Cassandra finished speaking, she gathered her clothes and was about to leave.
Queenie was taken aback. She knew Cassandra better than anyone else. Cassandra was ruthless. It was surprising that she would be willing to take care of Bailey.
However, her face remained impassive when she said, “All right. Please assist Cassie more.”
“Sure.”
As soon as Cassandra left, Queenie had someone tail her, curious to see what she was really up to.
