Chapter 1321 The Nightmare


    Over at the Jamieson residence, Queenie was roused from her sleep by a disruptive noise. After answering the phone, she listened to the person on the other end, their words surprising her. "Did she really say that?" she asked.


    "Yes, I heard Cassie say that she deceived you for money and power. She even referred to you as Mdm. Queenie. She also mentioned that if it weren''t for you, her mother wouldn''t have ended up like this." The individual only heard what Cassina had said,pletely missing out on Cassandra''s words.


    Queenie clenched her fists. "What has she deceived me about?"


    In truth, a bold guess had already taken root in Queenie''s head. It was just that she didn''t dare believe it.


    "I don''t know. That might just be why Cassie is so scared of Ms. Evans," the subordinate said.


    Unable to sleep, Queenie climbed out of bed.


    Even though it was clearly the height of summer, she felt unusually cold.


    "Understood. Send me the address. I''ll go check on Mdm. Bailey."


    "Okay."


    After ending the call, Queenie let her hand fall to her side.


    She walked onto the balcony, gazing at the sky, as dark as ink, feeling an overwhelming sense of emptiness and sorrow.


    Queenie merely wished to find her biological daughter, her only kin in the world. She didn''t want her daughter to harbor resentment toward her. Why does Cassie feel that she''s the reason for Bailey''s hospitalization?


    She felt as though her throat was clogged with cotton, and she was unable to swallow or speak.


    Regardless, she was determined to uncover the truth. She couldn''t allow Cassina to misunderstand her.


    She got into the car, and the driver expressed concern for her health, saying, "Mdm. Queenie, your health has always been delicate. Perhaps you should rest a little, and we could go to the hospital tomorrow morning instead. Judging by the distance, it will take us at least three hours to get there."


    Queenie shook her head. "It''s okay. I can rest in the car."


    "All right, then."


    The driver began to drive.


    Queenie closed her eyes, but in reality, she couldn''t sleep at all.


    After much difficulty falling into a light sleep, she once again dreamed of a time over twenty years ago, just after she had given birth to her daughter.


    Her adversary stood before her,


    cradling her daughter in her arms. "Well, what a surprise. Who would have thought this child would have such a strong will to live, stiltable to make a sound."


    Queenie lunged toward the woman with all her might.


    "Give me back my daughter!"


    The woman took a step back, her face adorned with a cruel smile. "Give her back to you? What a joke! Such a lowlife should never have been born!" She casually handed the child over to the butler and said, "Get rid of the child!"


    "Understood!"


    Vol


    "Please! Please, I beg you to spare my daughter," she pleaded. "Whatever you want in the future, I''ll giveat to you. Don''t harm myo daughter! I beg you!"


    "No! Don''t!"


    Startled awake from her slumber, Queenie found her forehead drenched in a sheen of cold sweat.


    The driver stopped the car with a concerned expression. "Are you okay, Mdm. Queenie?"


    "I''m fine. How much longer until we arrive?" Queenie asked.


    "It''s just a short drive of about ten minutes!" replied the driver.


    "Then hurry up and drive."


    Queenie''s heart was still racing at the moment.


    The nightmare had haunted her for over two decades. She had thought that after finding her daughter, that nightmare would cease, but they didn''t. The nightmare gnawed at her mind, as well as her heart.


    Queenie''s health had always been

    torment. Her condition was further exacerbated by the relentless nightmares that gued her, leaving her in a constant state of distress.


    In order to sustain her hopes of finding her daughter in the future, she had always been proactive in undergoing treatment.


    Ever since her daughter had returned, the doctor had said her condition had greatly improved. Yet, that nightmare persisted, bing even more vivid. Finally, they arrived at the hospital.


    When Queenie arrived, so did Cecilia and Nathaniel.


    When Cecilia stepped out of the car, her gaze met directly with Queenie''s.
