When Her “Death” Couldn’t Break Him
Chapter 1422 Confirmed To Be Mother And Daughter
Finished
The DNA test results were undeniable, clearly confirming that Queenie and Cecilia were, in fact, mother and daughter. Caliste also presented additional reports from other reputable sources for further verification.
“Mdm. Queenie,” Caliste said with measured certainty, there is no mistake this time. Cecilia is indeed your biological daughter. It seems we were all mistaken about her before.”
Queenie’s hand trembled slightly as she clutched the paternity test results. Her voice wavered with disbelief. “How can this be? How could she possibly be my daughter?”
Queenie didn’t say that because she thought Cecilia was unworthy of being her daughter. She was just struggling to process the revelation–a truth weighed down by the countless unforgivable wrongs she had committed against her own child.
“What should I do? Why is fate playing such cruel games with me?” she murmured, her eyes reddening with unshed tears. She clutched the test results tightly, her heart heavy with unbearable anguish. “How… how am I supposed to face that child now? As her mother, I not only denied her but also subjected her to such humiliation…”
Queenie was drowning in misery. For years, she had searched tirelessly for her daughter, only to realize she had been right by her side all along. To make matters worse, she had unknowingly taken her
stepdaughter’s side, aiding her in tormenting her own biological child. The weight of her mistakes felt insurmountable.
Caliste, equally stunned by the cruel twists of fate, struggled to find comforting words. “Mdm. Queenie, you didn’t know. If you had realized earlier, I’m certain you never would have hurt Cecilia.”
Queenie shook her head, her voice trembling with regret. “But when she came to see me, I said so many hurtful things. She must have been devastated.”
She hadn’t cried in years, but now, the tears fell uncontrollably. “I deserve to die! How could I have treated my own daughter so cruelly?” she sobbed, the weight of her guilt crushing her.
If there were a way to turn back time, she would seize it without hesitation. She pictured herself traveling to the past, ready to slap some sense into her former self.
“Let’s go,” Queenie said, staggering to her feet.
Caliste nodded. “All right.”
She supported Queenie as they left the Jamieson residence, heading to the Smith residence, still unaware that Cecilia was missing.
When Queenie arrived at the Smith residence, her eyes lingered on the surroundings where Cecilia had once lived. Memories of Paula’s cruel actions toward Cecilia flooded her mind.
Cecilia must’ve suffered when she was young. It was all my fault, for not being able to find her and reunite with her
sooner.
Steeling herself, she approached the front door and rang the bell, her heart heavy with unease.

standing on the doorstep.
“Can I help you?” she asked.
“We’re looking for Cecilia,” Queenie hastily said.

Madeline recognized Queenie immediately, her expression souring. “Mdm. Queenie, what scheme are you plotting against our company this time? Or have you set your sights on targeting our boss now?” she sneered.
Despite the mocking tone, Queenie didn’t retaliate. Instead, a wave of discomfort washed over her. “I admit I’ve made mistakes in the past,” she said earnestly “But please, could you grant me a favor and let me speak with Ms. Smith?”
Madeline’s eyes narrowed in disbelief at Queenie’s sudden apologetic demeanor. “Mistakes? What’s this now–a new ploy? Are you planning to sneak in here and frame our boss for something?”
Madeline used to stay at home, watching drama series during her time with Darren, and that fueled her imagination.
Queenie felt a pang of awkwardness at Madeline’s suspicion. “No, I swear I won’t cause any more harm to Cecilia. Please, I just need to speak with her. It’s really important.”
Seeing the sincerity in Queenie’s eyes, Madeline hesitated for a moment before finally speaking the truth, “She’s not here,” she said flatly. “Cecilia’s gone missing!
