Chapter 1859 Feeling Guilty


    Upon hearing the mention of Dahlia being lucky, Queenie shook her head. "This child has had a hard life. Her mother doesn''t care for her, and she doesn''t even know who her father is."


    "Indeed..." Caliste sighed in agreement.


    She''s so young, yet she has to live alone in the hospital. Cassandra would only her when she sees an opportunity to use her.


    Some time ago, Queenie had heard that Cassandra had exploited Dahlia''s illness to secure her release.


    Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Meredith, who was beside them, couldn''t help but feel curious.


    "What child?"


    Cecilia briefly shared Dahlia''s situation with Meredith.


    Meredith couldn''t believe it. "Isn''t the child a member of the Rainsworth family?"


    No matter how bad Cassandra is, the Rainsworth family couldn''t possibly ignore their own child, could they?


    Cecilia shook her head. "I heard it''s not Nichs''."


    She had no idea who the biological father of the child was, let alone that it was Nichs who orchestrated it all.


    "It''s just so heartbreaking." Meredith expressed her sympathy for the child. Suddenly, a thought struck her. "Mdm. Queenie, could I see the child?"


    Queenie didn''t understand what Meredith was trying to achieve.


    "What are you thinking?"


    Meredith pinched the center of his palm. "I must admit, I''ve turned thirty this year and ofte, I''ve been contemting adopting a daughter."


    Queenie quickly understood and said to Caliste, "Ms. Newton, could you please bring Ms. Seiler to see Dahlia?"


    It would be a blessing if Dahlia could be adopted by Meredith.


    Meredith nodded. "I''ll go see her now."


    Dahlia was also in this hospital, so it wouldn''t take long to visit her.


    "Alright."


    Queenie watched as the two individuals departed.


    After they left, Queenie turned to Cecilia and said, "Your friend is quite a kind person. If Dahlia could spend her life with her, I would have no more regrets."


    "Yeah." Cecilia nodded in agreement, as she knew that Meredith had a fondness for children.


    "However..." Queenie''s tone took a turn. "Dahlia is Cassandra''s biological daughter. I fear that when she grows up, she might be just like Cassandra."


    At times, one simply couldn''t deny the power of gics.


    Cecilia understood her worries and consoled her, saying, “Mom, I believe that every child is born a nk te, and what matters is who writes on that state. I don''t mean to say your upbringing wascking, only that external environmental factors often have arger impact."


    Moreover, having grown up with Ralph, it wasn''t a surprise that Cassandra had picked up many bad traits.


    In contrast to Ralph, Meredith wasn''t one to spoil children.


    Cecilia was confident that thetter would certainly do a good job raising Dahlia.


    Upon hearing Cecilia''s words, Queenie could only smile helplessly. "You''re absolutely right. Honestly, my actions yed a significant role in shaping Cassandra into who she is."


    "I''ve spoiled her," she confessed.


    "From a young age, whatever she wanted, I gave her. I was always so afraid of her facing even the slightest hardship. Furthermore, since she isn''t my biological@hild, I was worried that she might overthink things."


    Cecilia nodded. "I understand."


    “Unfortunately, I turned her into the person she is now..."


    Previously Queenie had never put her foot down on Cassandrargely due to these concerns. She figured that if something were to happen to Cassandra, she, as a mother would undoubtedly bear responsibility.


    And so, she let Cassandra do as thetter pleased.


    Cecilia reached out to give Queenie a hug. "Mom, don''t be too hard on yourself. Yuliana grew up with you and her grandparents, didn''t she? Why didn''t she turn out bad?"


    Queenie felt somewhat better upon hearing the words.
