Chapter 474 One Last Thing

The living room fell into a moment of silence.

Paula never imagined that a former nanny from her household would dare to speak to her in such a manner. She

raised her hand, ready to strike Martha.

The caregiver stepped forward, attempting to dissuade her, “Madam, this elderly lady is in poor health, so you

shouldn't hit her as you please. If you refuse to comply, | will have no choice but to call the police.”

Paula’s hand froze mid-air before a cold laugh involuntarily escaped her.

“This elderly lady? She’s nothing but a destitute woman who no one wanted! She was just lucky enough to care

for my daughter. Now that my daughter and son-in-law are doing well and financially supporting her, she thinks

she’s skind of wealthy elite!”

The caregiver was somewhat taken aback. She had always assumed that Martha was indeed Cecilia’s mother.

She never expected that it would be this woman standing before her.

Upon closer examination, they did bear sresemblance. However, how could their temperaments and

characters be so vastly different? Why were this woman's words so sharp and harsh?

Considering Paula was her employer's biological mother, the caregiver didn’t feel it was her place to say much.

All she could do was provide basic care from the sidelines.

Faced with Paula’s mockery, Martha rely on a man to survive, nor do | orted, “Though | may be poor, | have my

dignity. | don’t leech off my own children, unlike speople.”

Now, Paula understood where Cecilia got her temper from it was all from this woman standing before her.

Once again, she raised her hand. Before the ground with a swift motion.

Cough, cough, cough!

Cor could react, she pushed Martha to the

Martha, who was already in poor health, began to cough violently after ing over.

The caregiver rushed over to support her, asking anxiously, “Madam, are you all

Martha couldn't stop coughing, making it impossible for her to respond.

Paula looked down on this scene from her elevated position, not at all bothered by what she had. done. Seeing

that Martha was on the verge of death, Paula dialed Cecilia’s number and merely stated, “If you dare to seduce

Nicholas again or sue me, you might as well prepare to collect your nanny’s body.”

She always made good on her words

With that, Paula switched off her phone and left.

The moment Cecilia received a call from Paula, she rushed home. On her way, she phoned the caregiver to

inquire about the situation.

“How’s Martha doing?”

“Ms. Smith, she was pushed over earlier and had been coughing persistently. Thankfully, she’s much better

now.“

“That's good. I'll be right back.

As Cecilia sped home, she didn’t forget to arrange for a doctor to visit and check on Martha to ensure she was all

right.

For an elderly person, even the slightest bump or scrape could pose a threat to their life.

Moreover, Martha herself suffered from ailments common among the elderly.

Thankfully, the doctor arrived to conduct a basic examination on Martha. After he was done, he said that she had

high blood pressure and had sustained injuries to her muscles and bones.

Cecilia looked at the elderly woman lying on the bed, her head full of white hair, and felt her heart ache with

sympathy.

She had only been away for a short while, yet unexpectedly, something had happened to Martha.

“Martha, are you okay?” Cecilia asked with concern.

Martha opened her eyes wearily, reassuring her, “I'm fine, don’t worry. There's nothing wrong at all.”

Cecilia nodded. “Mhm.”

She reached out and embraced Martha.

“Martha, please never leave me.”

Martha had taken care of her since she was a child, just like an actual mother would.

“All right, I won't.”

Despite her words, Martha was particularly worried deep inside.

Today, Paula had the audacity to cand teach her a lesson, so Martha couldn't help but wonder what kind of

bullying Paula subjected Cecilia to behind her back.

Aware that her days were numbered, Martha was concerned about Cecilia being mistreated in the future.

Determined to protect the younger woman, she decided to do one last thing for her before her impending death.

Firstly, it was so she wouldn't inconvenience Cecilia nor beca burden. Secondly, it also fulfilled her own

maternal instincts.

“Ceci, did you manage to find any evidence of Paula and Magnus transferring the Smith family’s assets?”

Cecilia didn’t understand why Martha suddenly asked this, but she shook her head and replied, “After all these

years, a lot of evidence has already been lost.”

Yet, Martha had her own ideas. -

“Ceci, | want to go out and visit sold friends tomorrow.”
