Chapter 785 A Spam Call


    Recently, Queenie had returned to Tud to negotiate business deals.


    Today, Cassandra was having lunch with her. She personally served her food and water. “Mom, have more.”


    “Mm,” Queenie responded, feelingforted.


    However, the peaceful moment was abruptly interrupted by the sound of a phone ringing.


    Cassandra picked up her phone and saw that it was Pa calling. She pressed decline and put her phone back into her bag, unaware that she had identally answered the call instead of hanging up.


    Because the phone was now inside her bag, she couldn’t hear Pa speaking.


    “Who was it?” Queenie asked. “Why didn’t you answer?”


    “Oh, just a spam call, Cassandra replied casually.


    Not hearing Cassandra’s response, Pa was about to hang up and call again when she overheard. the conversation between Queenie and Cassandra.


    A spam call?


    Pa quickly realized that Cassandra had answered the call by mistake.


    Curious, she decided to listen in and hear what Cassandra and Queenie talked about.


    “Mom, this foie gras is really delicious. I had it specially ordered in advance and flown in.”


    “Mm.” Queenie nodded, taking a small bite.


    Suddenly remembering something, she asked, “Cassandra, I heard Pa was diagnosed with cancer?”


    “Yeah,te–stage cancer. The doctor said she won’t live more than two years,” Cassandra replied bluntly.


    Knowing Queenie disliked Pa, she continued, “It’s karma. She stole Dad from you, and now she’s got cancer.”


    She had no idea that every word was being heard by Pa on the other end.


    Queenie let out a scornfulugh. “Cassandra, you have to understand, Pa didn’t take Ralph away from me. I didn’t want Ralph anymore, got it?”


    Back then, Queenie had married Ralph only to appease certain members of the Jamieson family.


    Additionally, Ralph had been easy to control, and her feelings were never involved.


    Even so, she despised betrayal.


    “I misspoke, Mom. A woman like Pa could neverpare to you,” Cassandra said, disdainfully taking a bite of her food. “You have no idea how disgusting it feels every time I have to call her ‘Mom‘ in front of others. I just wish she’d hurry up and die!”


    Queenie looked at her daughter fondly. “Good girl.”


    The two of them continued chatting for a while, but Pa wasn’t listening anymore.


    She stood frozen in ce, her mind aplete nk. It wasn’t until the caregiver came over to bring her food that she finally snapped back to reality and ended the call.


    The caregiver brought in the food. She couldn’t help but sigh upon seeing that she was the only one by Pa’s side.


    “Eat something.”


    “No, I’m not hungry,” Pa replied.


    “You have to cat, even if you don’t feel like it. Your body’s already in bad shape the caregiver gently coaxed.


    Pa, for once, didn’t get angry. “I really don’t feel like eating. Just leave it over there.”


    Sensing that Pa seemed like a different person today, the caregiver didn’t push further, fearing she might upset her. She quietly ced the meal aside and left.


    Meanwhile, after finishing lunch, Cassandra saw Queenie off and finally took her phone out of her bag.


    She was about to return Pa’s missed call, wondering what it was about when she noticed that the call she had supposedly missed had actuallysted for six minutes.


    Six minutes?


    Realizing that Pa might have overheard her conversation with Queenie, Cassandra quickly dialed Pa’s number.


    The phone rang for a long time, but there was no answer.


    She tried calling again, and after waiting a while, Pa’s voice finally came through.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
