Chapter 703 Is She Not Your Mother Too

“If you truly don’t have long to live, | won't just stand idly by and watch you die on account that you're my birth

mother still,” added Cecilia.

Looking at the now high and mighty Cecilia, Paula couldn't help but scoff, “You stupid girl, don’t get carried away

just because Nathaniel is now blind and has given you smoney. Of course I'll live on. Cassandra is infinitely

more outstanding than you could ever be. With her by my

side. life’s been nothing short of wonderful. | was merely testing you earlier, and now, your true colors. are

showing, aren't they? You're nothing more than an ingrate...”

Paula launched into a tirade against Cecilia.

Cecilia didn’t feel like engaging her. She returned to the mansion and, together with Elliot, began preparing for

her father’s memorial ceremony.

After berating Cecilia for an extended period outside, Paula felt intermittent pangs in her lower abdomen. A faint

trace of blood soon appeared.

The part-timer noticed something was off about her and couldn't help but ask, “Are you okay?”

Paula was already in so much pain that she couldn't speak.

The part-timer hurriedly went back in to find Cecilia. Upon learning that Paula's illness had acted. up and that

her pants were stained red with blood, she froze w but steeled herself and decided not to go out.

Turning to the part-timer, she said, “Have the security guard take her to the hospital.”

“Alright.”

Elliot was helping Cecilia pick out vegetables when he looked up at her and he said, “Mommy, if you're worried

about granny, you should go and check on her.”

He knew that Cecilia was soft-heartened.

However, upon hearing this, Cecilia shook his head.

She was at a loss on how to explain the conflict between herself and Paula to her son, so she opted for a

simplified description.

“Eli, | want to share something with you,” she began. “There's an old saying in our country, if | raised you when

you were young, you'll take care ofwhen I'm old. If | had merely given birth. to you and not raised you, |

wouldn't expect you to take care of me.”

Elliot nodded thoughtfully and said, “Mommy, if grandma isn’t nice to you, we'll just ignore her.”

Cecilia didn’t speak any further. Instead, she reached out and embraced Elliot.

In truth, there was once a twhen she had considered taking care of Paula for the rest of her golden years.

Unfortunately, Paula's actions had left her utterly disappointed..

“Eli, everything will be fine once you grow up.”

Elliot gently patted Cecilia's back.

He longed to grow up quickly, for then he would be able to protect his mother.

Having prepared the food for the ceremony. Cecilia paid respects to her father’s memorial picture. She

murmured softly, “Dad, you wouldn't hold it against me, would you?”

Before her father passed away, he had entrusted her with the care of Paula and Magnus.

Unfortunately, she had broken her promise, having failed to take good care of the two.

Meanwhile, the security guard rushed Paula back to the hospital. The latter's condition was critical, and she was

immediately taken into the operating room.

The security guard immediately called Cecilia, “Ms. Smith, when Mdm. Paula arrived at the hospital, she went

into shock. She's now in the operating room, fighting for her life. The hospital has contacted her relatives, but

none of them are willing to come.”

Cecilia's brows slightly furrowed, but she didn’t respond.

The security guard asked again, “What should we do now?”

“Cback first.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Cecilia turned to Elliot and said, “Sweetie, wait here for me. | need to go out and

take care of sbusiness.”

“Alright.”

Elliot nodded repeatedly.

After Cecilia left, he was a bit worried and quietly followed her out.

Cecilia had instructed the driver to head straight to the hospital.

On the way there, she called Cassandra.

Cassandra answered, “Cecilia? What is it?”

Paula is in the emergency room. Aren’t you going to see her?” Cecilia asked directly.

“You talk as if I'm her only daughter. Isn't she your mother too? If you're not visiting, why should.

Cassandra was still upset with Paula because he refused the divorce.
