The sentence made Cecilia's heart instantly soften.

She immediately explained to Elliot, "Eli, I'm just going out to handle some business. I'll be back with Mr. Sven soon. How could I ever abandon you?"

Blood is thicker than water. Although Cecilia didn't remember her two children, when faced with their playful and affectionate behavior, she simply couldn't resist.

Elliot grabbed her hand. "What are you going to do? Why can't you take me and Daddy with you? Are we a burden to you? Or is it that you have another child, so you don't care about me anymore?" Elliot's aggrieved demeanor caused Cecilia's heart to ache more than usual. "No. How could I?"

"Then let me and Daddy come with you. We should stick together as a family," Elliot continued to persuade.

Left with no other options, Cecilia reluctantly agreed, "All right. You guys can come with me in the car."

Elliot's tears turned into laughter in an instant. "Mommy, you're the best!"

Only then did Cecilia realize that she seemed to have been tricked by Elliot.

Subsequently, Elliot and Nathaniel got into the car. Careful not to upset Cecilia, the two behaved exceptionally well, refraining from speaking or moving unnecessarily.

Sven drove to the cemetery in the western suburbs.

Regas and Paula were laid to rest there.

After Cecilia stepped out of the car, Sven led the way.

Originally, Regas and Paula were supposed to be buried together. However, due to Paula's betrayal, the Smith family forbade their joint burial.

Paula's grave was situated right next to Regas.

Cecilia purchased two bouquets of daisies to pay her respect.

"Dad," she called out.

In her heart, Regas was always her father.

Regrettably, she could no longer hear her father's response.

Unsure of what to say, Cecilia simply stood before her father's gravestone. Then, her gaze shifted to the black and white photograph of Paula next to her, her emotions a whirlwind. Elliot stepped forward. "Mommy, don't be sad."noveldrama

Cecilia nodded. "Yes, I understand. I just wanted to come and visit them."

The Rainsworth family no longer wanted her as their daughter-in-law, and the Jamieson family's attitude toward her, their adopted daughter, was increasingly deteriorating. She was genuinely worried that one day, she might be replaced by Cecilia.

"Mom, now that I'm back, shouldn't I have a position at the company? I've recovered, and I don't want to stay idle at home any longer," Cassandra said to Queenie. Upon hearing this, Queenie didn't stop her, "Okay. Have Caliste take you to the company."

"What kind of job will I do?" Cassandra asked.

"You'll start from the grassroots level first to slowly understand how the company operates. We'll see from then," Queenie responded.

Grassroots? Cassandra was somewhat baffed. "What do you mean by 'grassroots"?"

"I think the sales department is pretty good. Why don't you give it a try?"

Queenie felt that she had been too indulgent with Cassandra in the past. Now, she was determined to change Cassandra and provide the latter with more training.

Little did she know that Cassandra had a completely different mindset. Although Cassandra verbally agreed, she was internally contemplating whether Queenie was planning to hand over the company to Cecilia. "Mom, how have things been with Cecilia recently?" Cassandra asked tentatively.

Queenie cast her a somewhat wary glance. "What do you mean?"

"Has she remembered anything?" Cassandra continued to ask.

Queenie shook her head. "No."

Although she didn't personally visit Cecilia, she consistently had people keeping an eye on her.

Cassandra finally felt at ease. "What a shame. I wonder if her memory will ever return. Mom, I think I'll head to the office today."
