Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

“Cilla, that’s also the child you carried for ten months.”

How could she say she didn’t want it?

Cecilia elenched her fingers tightly.

She wanted to be a mother too; in fact, at first, she had actively cooperated and taken the medicine.

But later, the child became a bargaining chip between them.

She found it cruel.

She didn’t want to spend the rest of her life entangled with Wesley over the child.

It wasn’t fair to the child.

“Wesley, it was Larissa who provoked Grandma, that’s why she passed

away.”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but choke up. “There are witnesses. Are you still going to protect her?”

Speaking of which, that caregiver was originally arranged by Wesley Later, when Cecilia wanted to cut ties with him, she started paying the salary herself.

The caregiver’s testimony was the best proof

Bonnie died because of Larissa.

gloomy.

He knew Cecilia was forcing him to take a stand,

“The dead cannot come back to life.” Wesley, too, felt bitter inside.

“Besides, she only went to ask Grandma the truth because she suddenly heard someone was impersonating her as Priscilla. She didn’t mean any harm.” He tried to comfort Cecilia. “If it were you, and you found out something happened to your family, wouldn’t you be agitated too?”

Cecilia laughed, tears in her eyes, her expression especially mocking.

“So what you mean is, Grandma died because I took Priscilla’s place, that it was my fault?”

Pain surged within her.

It was impossible to let go.

Wesley frowned. “You know that’s not what I meant.”

“In your heart, Larissa is pure and kind, flawless as jade.”

/

Cecilia understood all too well how much he valued Larissa.

She just wanted to get even a little bit of fairness from him.

But once again, reality proved it was all just her wishful thinking.

“Wesley, you can keep protecting Larissa, but I will remember Grandma’s death.”

She wasn’t going to be trapped by Wesley for the rest of her life.

Life was long; she would eventually struggle free from this quagmire.

Wesley saw a shocking hatred in her eyes.

His pupils contracted, his face darkening considerably.

But after a few seconds, he reined in his temper and stopped discussing that sensitive topic.

“Go get some rest. We have guests coming soon, and I’ve arranged dinner.”

Cecilia went upstairs.

Noah had already been bathed and was sleeping soundly on the soft, big bed.

Cecilia walked over quietly, gazing at his innocent face, her eyes brimming with tears.

She thought of Priscilla, of Ms. Wilkinson, of Bonnie.

Back then, everyone was together and it was so warm, but life was unpredictable. Now, she was the only one left.

Fortunately, she had found Noah.

!

For the rest of her life, she would protect this child.

After changing clothes and washing up, she lay down beside Noah, carefully placing her hand on him. Listening to his steady breathing, she too drifted into a deep sleep.

She didn’t know that not long after she fell asleep, Wesley came in.

Seeing the two of them, one big and one small, sleeping together, his heart was filled with tenderness.

He wanted very much to lie down beside them as well.

But since Cecilia had finally managed to rest, he couldn’t disturb her and had to hold himself back.

He closed the door gently and called Elijah to arrange the bone marrow donation.

Now, only that little boy could make Cecilia happy.

He was willing to save him.

When Cecilia woke up, Noah was already gone.

She was startled and hurried to look for him.

But then she heard laughter coming from the living room.

Noah was playing with building blocks.

Not far away, Wesley was talking with Bruce on the sofa.

From time to time, he would guide Noah in building the blocks.

It was a harmonious scene.

Cecilia watched for a while before walking in.

“Dr. McDowell.” She greeted him.

Wesley had already come over, helping her to sit down and speaking softly: “I invited Dr. McDowell to check on you.”

Bruce had already taken out his pulse diagnostic kit, gesturing for Cecilia to place her wrist on it.

Cecilia did as instructed.

After a few minutes, Bruce nodded and said, “Your pulse is fine, but your emotions are pent up and need to be relieved.”

He wrote a prescription, and Wesley arranged for someone to fetch the medicine.

Bruce packed up his things and comforted Cecilia, “My condolences. Grandma was always thinking of you. If you don’t take care of yourself, she won’t be at peace even in heaven.”

Cecilia’s eyes reddened. She nodded, “Yes, I know.”

“For the sake of the child, you should take good care of your health too,” Bruce reminded her.
