When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Upon hearing Queenie’s words, Bailey was puzzled. “You’re indebted to me? Are you kidding me?”

She knew she wouldn’t have even had the opportunity to meet the Jamieson family if it weren’t for taking care of Paula, let alone have them owe her anything.

“Did you visit the orphanage a few days ago? Did you tell the director that over twenty years ago, on a snowy day, you adopted a girl?” said Queenie.

Upon hearing these words, Bailey slowly opened the door.

Queenie looked inside with anticipation.

She scanned the room, her gaze finally resting on a woman in her twenties, who was cradling a young boy in her arms.

Though the girl was of average appearance, there was a serene elegance about her.

Cassina was taken aback. “Mom, you adopted a girl? Am I that girl?”

Before Bailey could utter a word, Queenie slowly approached Cassina, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Cassie…” Queenie’s voice grew hoarse. “Are you really my daughter?”

Her eyes welled up with tears, and she was at a loss for words. Looking around the cramped room and at her daughter’s plain, cheap clothes, she felt an overwhelming sense of heartache.

Without saying a word, Queenie removed the jade bracelet she had worn for over a decade, wanting to put it on for Cassina. This piece of natural jade was flawlessly circular and radiated a deep emerald hue.

Cassina didn’t recognize the bracelet, but at first glance, she thought it was beautiful and of significant value.

“What are you doing?” She handed her son over to her husband, then waved her hands.

Queenie didn’t know what to do when Cassina refused to accept the bracelet.

Caliste spoke up. “Please accept it. This bracelet is worth a hundred million Azanian currency.”

A hundred million Azanian currency? Just one bracelet cost that much?

Cassina was in disbelief, yet Bailey knew Queenie would never deceive them.

“Cassie, I’ve never told you this because I feared you’d feel inferior. But now that your birth mother has come for you, you should go with her.”

Bailey was well aware that she could never be as wealthy as Queenie.

She thought of her grandson’s diabetes, which demanded a significant amount of money for treatment.

At that point, her family had run out of money for the child’s treatment. Yet, just one bracelet from Queenie could resolve all their troubles. Bailey, consumed by a selfish thought, decided to wait until after Dylan’s illness was cured before revealing the truth to Queenie.

She felt guilty for lying to Cecilia.

Upon hearing Bailey’s words, Queenie became even more certain that Cassina was indeed her daughter. While Cassina was still in a state of shock, Queenie put the bracelet on her and hugged her tightly.

“Oh, Cassie. Do you have any idea how long I’ve been searching for you? I’ve missed you every moment of every day,” she said.

As Cassina listened to Queenie’s words and felt the bracelet on her wrist, she ultimately succumbed to the temptation.

She glanced at Bailey, who hung her head, and understood her intentions. Without saying a word, she decided to follow Queenie back.

Queenie instructed Caliste to talk to Bailey and took Dylan along, too..

Caliste turned to Bailey. “Bailey, we owe you for raising our young lady. If you have any requests, please don’t hesitate to mention them. Once I return, I’ll relay them to Mdm. Queenie. She’s a generous person. She’ll fulfill any of your needs.”

Bailey, who pulled tricks, felt guilty and said, “I don’t need anything. All I want is for her to treat Cassie well.”

Caliste admired Bailey for her integrity. “All right, I’ll let Mdm. Queenie know.”

After Caliste left, Bailey and Caleb, who was stunned, were left alone in the house.
