NovelEnglishChapter 666 Hidden Resentment
Inside the ward, not long after Cecilia left, Paula was in unbearable pain, her illness flaring up. By the time
Cassandra entered the room, she was met with a foul odor.
Paula looked at her somewhat awkwardly. “Cassandra, could you please call the nurse? I'm afraid I've
unintentionally soiled the bedsheet.”
Upon hearing these words, Cassandra finally understood the reason. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't
hide the look of disdain on her face.
“Mom, how could you wet the bed when you're an adult?”
“I'm sorry.
sorry.
It wasn’t intentional. It’s just a symptom of my illness. You're not going to resentfor it, are you?”
In front of Cassandra, Paula was exceptionally submissive.
Cassandra knew that although Paula had brought all the money to the Evans family, she still had a backup plan.

we going to do with you now? Ill call the caregiver immediately, and then have the doctor and nurse check on

“Alright.”

Cassandra was her own flesh and blood. She was certain that the latter would never despise or harm her.
Cassandra immediately stepped out and dialed the caregiver's number, urging them to cand handle the
situation promptly.
The caregiver arrived swiftly to change Paula’s sheets. Who could have imagined that the once proud and
renowned dancer would be reduced to such a state?
The doctor treated Paula, and her condition somewhat improved.
Cassandra really didn’t want to stay there, so she found an excuse to leave.
If it wasn’t for the pretense of showing filial piety in front of Paula, she wouldn't have cat all.
Once she stepped outside, she could finally breathe in the fresh air. She then gave Magnus a call.
Quickly, the call connected, and Cassandra spoke with the authority of an elder sister.
“Magnus, Mom is sick. When are you planning to cback?”
With Nicholas’ support, Magnus had started up his own company. When she heard that Paula was ill, he didn’t
believe it at all. “Cassandra, tell Mom to stop using the sold tricks. If Cecilia

He no longer relied on the Evans family now, so he didn’t see the need to show Cassandra any respect.
“Mom is really sick, she has late-stage cervical cancer. She’s not faking it,” Cassandra explained, even though
she was somewhat upset.
Ever since Paula was diagnosed with late-stage cancer, she would constantly call Cassandra, asking the latter to
cover and keep her company,
Cassandra was thoroughly annoyed. If only Magnus would return, Paula wouldn't constantly call her.
Upon learning that Paula was truly diagnosed with cancer, Magnus was taken aback but quickly shrugged it off.
“Doesn't Mom only love you? Just take good care of her. I'm not a doctor, so what's the point of telling me?”
Magnus abruptly hung up the phone.

If this had been in the past, upon hearing of Paula falling ill, he would have definitely shown sconcern. But
now...
Upon recalling Paula's statement about giving everything to Cassandra in the future, he lost all love for this
biased mother.
He had long grown accustomed to his mother’s favoritism toward him, and there was no way he could accept her
having another favorite.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
Upon lifting his gaze, Magnus broke into a smile instantly.
“Nicholas.”
Nicholas gave a slight nod.
Ever since Magnus joined the new company established for him by Nicholas, he had behaved sycophantically
toward the latter.
“How's work been lately?” Nicholas asked after sitting down.
Swiftly, Magnus served him swarm water. “I've only just started. There's not much forto do yet.”
After taking a sip of water, Nicholas put on a warm expression. “It's okay. Take your time.”
“Alright,” Magnus felt as if Nicholas was his own brother. He couldn't help but express his disbelief. “Nicholas, ©
Cecilia must have been blind to turn you down and choose to be with that fool, Nathaniel.”
