Chapter 1159 Conspiracy
After Freya returned from eating a burger, Cecilia was already sitting on the hospital bed, fully dressed.
"Freya, I'm hungry and want to eat. Wait, you should get me a glass of water first," Cecilia said, looking at Freya.
Hearing this, Freya quickly nodded. "Okay."
She poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Cecilia. Cecilia took it and then tilted her head back, drinking the entire glass in one go.
It seemed like she hadn't had water in a long time; her lips were chapped.
At this moment, Freya stared blankly at Cecilia, feeling that she seemed different from before.
Indeed, she was different. Her hair was neatly combed, and her eyes were no longer vacant.
Soon, Freya placed the food on the bedside table.
"Thank you, Freya," Cecilia said, and then she began to eat intently.
Freya saw Cecilia not saying a word, eating her food with her head down. She breathed a sigh of relief and secretly admired Daryl always had a way.
The car was driving smoothly on the road when Douglas, who was driving, received a phone call.
As soon as Douglas hung up, Daryl eagerly asked, "Was it Freya?"
Douglas quickly replied, "Freya said Ms. Thorne has started eating and is in good spirits. Please don't worry."
Hearing this, Daryl finally nodded in relief.
In fact, Daryl had deliberately come to provoke Cecilia today. He knew her personality too well. As long as she believed she wasn't worth having his child or his affection, she would take better care of herself.
However, when he said those harsh words to her earlier, his heart ached. But now, he had no other choice.
He couldn't let her become the target of both the Tate and the Fields Families. If they found out he called off the engagement because of Cecilia, both families would hate her, and the Fields Family would never accept her.
But she was still hurt; the child was gone, and her body was severely damaged. Daryl wanted to comfort her and be with her, but there was nothing he could do now.
"How's the investigation going?" Daryl asked, frowning.
Douglas also frowned and replied, "It's been clarified. The boy's incident was indeed an accident. The boy's background is clean; his parents are public servants with no issues. And there were no cameras by the river, so there's no way to investigate the incident further."
Hearing this, Daryl thought for a long time before instructing, "This matter isn't that simple. Keep investigating."
"Yes." Douglas nodded.
In the living room, Skylar was very satisfied after hearing the report from the driver and confidant.
"You did a great job this time. Here's your reward. I won't treat you poorly in the future," Skylar said, handing a thick leather envelope to the driver and confidant.
"Thank you, Ms. Tate," The driver and confidant said happily, taking the thick envelope and leaving.
Then, Charlotte, who was sitting next to Skylar, said, "They had a dispute in the ward. It seems Daryl is fed up with that woman. Skylar, you can rest easy this time."
Hearing this, Skylar said, "I'm worried that even if he is fed up with her, he still won't marry me. What then?"
Charlotte replied, "Would he dare? Your father will put extreme pressure on Fields Group this time. Unless they don't want to do business anymore."
At this moment, Skylar thought for a while and said, "Mom, Daryl is grateful. When Dad puts pressure on them, I'll go to Azalea to ease the relationship between our families. If I'm so magnanimous this time, I think Azalea will speak up for me, and maybe Daryl will change his mind."
Hearing this, Charlotte sighed and said, "Why do you insist on this? So many people want to be with you, but you are fixated on Daryl!"
"Mom, I just like Daryl. My life's wish is to have him. I'm willing to do anything for him!" Skylar said resolutely.
Seeing Skylar like this, Charlotte could only let her be.
Cecilia stayed in the hospital for a week. During this time, Susan and Isabella came to visit her after hearing the news.
Seeing that Susan and Isabella were both heavily pregnant, Cecilia didn't want them to worry, so she only shared good news and didn't mention anything about her and Daryl.
After being discharged, Cecilia returned to Daryl's apartment, with Freya still taking care of her.
Besides this place, Cecilia had nowhere else to go, especially since her body was very weak.
Although she didn't want to accept any more favors from Daryl, he was morally obligated to take care of her until she recovered.
Cecilia didn't want to hurt her own body, so she temporarily stayed in the apartment.
She planned to move out and find her own place once she recovered, then work hard.
In the short term, she didn't want to think about relationships. She wanted to achieve something in her career through her own efforts.
Every day, Cecilia tried to eat more, drink more water, and exercise appropriately because she wanted to recover quickly.
She forced herself not to think about anything, especially anything related to Daryl.
Freya took great care of her, cooking different meals every day and making soups with expensive ingredients. There was always a fresh bouquet of lilies in the living room.
Cecilia knew this must have been arranged by Daryl, and she sneered.
He could say such heartless words, yet he instructed Freya to take care of her so meticulously. He was truly a contradictory person.
Maybe he had a guilty conscience, or perhaps he didn't express himself clearly, so Douglas misunderstood his intentions.
No matter what, Cecilia wouldn't be grateful to Daryl, but she wouldn't hate him either because their relationship was just a transaction.
During this time, Barry called Cecilia several times, saying he wanted to visit her.
Cecilia declined Barry's kindness and insisted on not telling him her address.
She knew Barry had feelings for her, but she didn't want to think about relationships anymore, nor did she want to use Barry as a remedy for her wounds. That wouldn't be fair to Barry.
Cecilia knew she had to heal her emotional wounds on her own. She had to learn to be strong and not rely on anyone else in the future.
Two weeks later, Cecilia's face had regained its color, and she was fully recovered. It was time for her to leave.
