Chapter 694 Missing Her


    Ever since Cassandra got her hands on Pa’s personal savings, she stopped visiting thetter. She didn’t even bother to make a simple phone call.


    Pa was alone in the icy hospital, missing Cassandra intensely. “Cassandra, I miss you. When will youe to see me?”


    “Mom, I’m truly sorry,” Cassandra said in a dismissive tone. “I’ve been extremely busytely. Once I’m done, I’lle to visit you. Is that okay?”


    The light in Pa’s eyes dimmed slightly. “All right. You’ve been busy every day-


    Before Pa could even finish her sentence, Cassandra had already hung up the phone.


    Pa stared at the disconnected call on her phone, her eyes filled with disappointment.


    At the entrance, the caregiver attending to Pa was visited by her daughter that day. The daughter kept chatting with her mother. “Mom, I have money now. You don’t need to do this job anymore. I’ll take care of you.”


    “Don’t worry, I’m still young and not afraid of getting tired,” said the caregiver.


    “I worry about you, though. Please, take this money. Be sure to treat yourself well, indulge in delicious food, and don’t hesitate to spend it.”


    As Pa observed the tender moments between the mother and daughter at the doorway, she couldn’t help but be reminded of Cecilia.


    She recalled that, six or seven years ago, Cecilia kneeled before her and said, “Mom, can we rely on ourselves from now on? I can take care of you.”


    For some reason, Pa felt a pang of difort in her heart.


    She picked up a pillow and flung it toward the door, bellowing, “Are you here to take care of me or to chat with your daughter?”


    Upon hearing that, the caregiver immediately sent her daughter home.


    Following that, the caregiver entered the ward and closed the door behind her.


    The caregiver was already the third one. The previous two had left due to Pa’s terrible temper.


    The female caretaker picked up the pillow from the floor and ced it neatly back on the chair. She showed no signs of irritation and said gently, “The doctor mentioned that your condition could worsen with anger. If there’s anything troubling you, feel free to share with me”


    Upon hearing that, Pa looked at the caregiver with nothing but mockery in her eyes.


    I have money and power. There’s nothing troubling me. What a joke. She pretended to be strong, but it was clear to anyone she wasn’t.


    “I heard from the previous caregiver that you have a son and a daughter. Where are they? Howe they haven’te to see you?” asked the caregiver.


    When the topic of children came up. Pa couldn’t help but clench her fist. She turned her head. to look out the window and said. “They’re busy. They’lle to see me when they have time.”


    The caregiver felt a bit of sympathy for her.


    After all, if a child truly cared for their parents, they would’ve been around to provide care when their mother was hospitalized in thete stages of cancer.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    The caretaker took a seat, gently wiping Pa’s hands.


    “I have something to say, and I hope it won’t upset you. In life, money isn’t the most important- thing. What truly matters is having someone who cares for you, loves you, and someone you feelpelled to protect.”


    Pa abruptly shoved the caregiver’s hand away and was about to have an outburst when a knock at the door echoed through the room.


    The caregiver rose to her feet. “Who is it?”


    She pulled open the door and saw a woman of stunning beauty standing calmly at the entrance. However, a scar marred her otherwise wless face.


    Pa also spotted Cecilia, her pupils suddenly constricting. “Why are you here?”


    Cecilia courteously shed a smile at the caregiver before stepping in.


    She nced at Pa, who had be as thin as a stick overnight. At first, she was taken aback but soon regained herposure. “I came for the money. I wonder if you’ve got it ready.”


    Pa spoke sarcastically. “Money? What money? Where would I have gotten any money from? I’m telling you, I’ve spent all of your father’s money. Don’t even think about getting a single penny from me.”


    Upon hearing that, Cecilia didn’t get angry either. “Is that so? Then I guess I’ll have to apply for my request to be enforced.”


    “You dare!” Pa sat up, ready to strike her.


    Cecilia took a small step back just as Pa abruptly tumbled to the ground.
