Ever since Cassandra met up with Cassina at the hospital, she had been seeking an opportunity to get rid of Bailey.
Regrettably, the bodyguards that Cecilia had sent were too diligent. Whenever she tried to approach Bailey alone, they would keep a close watch on her.
Therefore, she never had the chance to make a move on Bailey.
At night, she and Cassina moved into the caretaker’s ward. With just the opening of a door, she could reach Bailey’s side.
In the early hours of the morning, Cassandra, fighting off sleepiness, crawled out of bed and tiptoed over to Bailey’s bed.
Bailey was sound asleep, presenting an especially easy target.
In the past, Cassandra always had others do her dirty work, but this was the first time she took matters into her own hands.
They’re all a bunch of unreliable folks… Cassandra steeled her heart, taking out the pre–prepared medicine and syringe. Without hesitation, she plunged it into Bailey’s arm.
Pain jolted Bailey awake from her slumber. Though she couldn’t articulate words, her continuous shrieks filled the air.
Cassandra was growing somewhat fearful, and her hands were trembling.
Bailey used to be a caregiver, hailing from a rural area. After her health recovery, her physical strength was in no way inferior to that of a pregnant woman like Cassandra.
She quickly grabbed Cassandra’s hand, causing the syringe to fall to the ground.
The commotion there had also caught the attention of the bodyguard standing at the entrance.
The bodyguard immediately pushed the door open, turning on the lights in the room. “What are you doing?”
In a flurry, Cassandra kicked the syringe under the bed, her face the picture of innocence.
“I got up to check on Mdm. Bailey’s condition. I wanted to see if she needed any care. How did you guys get in here? You gave me quite a scare!”
The commotion there had also awakened Cassina. As she walked over, she saw Bailey, who couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably.
Her left hand was still tightly clutching her,right arm.
“Mom, what’s wrong?”
Cassina’s heart ached as she quickly walked toward Bailey.
Bailey was still trembling uncontrollably, her eyes wide with terror as she stared in the direction of

A surge of secret delight washed over Cassandra when she witnessed that scene. Finally, I’ve gotten rid of this old thing!
“Quick! Call the doctor!”
The urgent ring of the emergency alarm echoed insistently down the corridor.
Meanwhile, Cecilia abruptly woke up from her sleep.
Nathaniel, who was a light sleeper, stirred awake. “What’s wrong?” he asked.
Cecilia took a deep breath and said, “I had a dream that something bad happened to Mdm. Bailey.”
Just as Nathaniel was about to comfort her, his phone began to ring.
He picked up his phone and answered it. After that, his face looked particularly unpleasant.
“What’s wrong?” Cecilia asked.
“Something has indeed happened to Mdm. Bailey. Shes still in the hospital fighting for her life.”
No sooner had his words fallen than a call came in from Cecilia’s bodyguard. He informed her that Bailey had suddenly started foaming at the mouth and had been rushed to the emergency room.
“I need to go check it out.” Cecilia put down her phone and stood up.
“I’ll go with you.” Nathaniel was worried.
Cecilia didn’t reject him. Having him by her side indeed made her feel more at ease.
In the hallway of the hospital, Cassina covered her face, weeping bitterly. “How did this suddenly happen to my mom? She was perfectly fine earlier today.”
Cassandra comforted her, “Life and death are predetermined, so perhaps this is her destiny. Don’t be too upset.”
Cassina, however, shook her head. “It’s all my fault. I’m to blame. I was heartless. If I hadn’t deceived Mdm. Queenie for money and power, my mother wouldn’t be in this state!”
Upon hearing her words, Cassandra immediately covered her mouth, her gaze fierce.
She lowered her voice and said, “Do you have a death wish? If Queenie finds out, believe it or not, you, Dylan, and your good–for–nothing husband will be in mortal danger.”
Startled by her, Cassina immediately clamped her mouth shut.
Unbeknownst to the two, someone was watching them from the shadows.
