Chapter 1893 Lost Her Mind
The nurse turned to the hospital director and said, "Sir, the patient''s been brought
in."
The director nodded, got up from his seat, and spoke politely to Cecilia and Nathaniel. "Mr. and Mrs. Rainsworth, we''ll leave you to speak with her. If anything happens, don''t hesitate to call me."
"All right."
Once the director left and the door closed behind him, only three people were left in the room. Nathaniel and Cecilia both kept their eyes on Ste.
Ste didn''t seem to notice their presence at all. She sat with her head lowered, aimlessly ying with her hair. She murmured, "Nathaniel, are you really going to marry me? Would Ceci be upset if she found out?"
Hearing that, Cecilia was at a loss for words. She stood up slowly and walked toward Ste. "Ste!"
Ste lifted her head slowly, meeting Cecilia''s gaze. For a moment, she looked stunned, then her expression turned confused. "Who are you?"
"You don''t even recognize me? I''m Cecilia," she said clearly, stressing each word.
Ste''s body gave a little jolt at the name. "I was wrong, I get it now, I really do. I swear I won''t dare do anything like that again! Please, just give me one more chance. I won''t trick anyone anymore, I won''t use you to manipte others... Ceci, weren''t we best friends?"
She grabbed Cecilia''s hand, her whole body shaking. "I don''t want to end up like Cassandra, locked away. I don''t want to live like some nobody. I swear, I''ll stay in myne from now on, just focus on being a proper celebrity, and never hurt you again. Please... let me go this time."
Cecilia listened to her begging over and over again without even the slightest hint of sympathy. "So you''re notpletely insane after all."
Ste didn''t catch the meaning behind those words. Suddenly, her expression shifted. She red fiercely at Cecilia. "No, you''re lying! You''re not Cecilia-I''m the real Cecilia!"
Cecilia narrowed her eyes.
Ste sneered. "You''re Ste. That vile b*tch!" She raised her hand and tried to p Cecilia. "I''m going to teach you a lesson, you wicked woman!"
But before her hand could fall, Nathaniel stepped in and grabbed her wrist. With just a light push, Ste stumbled back several steps.
She barely managed to keep her bnce, then turned and stared at the man across from her. His expression was cold and unfeeling. For a second, recognition shed in her eyes. "Nathaniel! Don''t listen to this terrible woman! Ste''s the one lying to you! I''m the one who really loves you! I''m the one who saved Mdm. Elena!"
But Nathaniel didn''t acknowledge any of it. He looked at Cecilia and asked, concern in his voice, "You okay?"
Cecilia shook her head. "I''m fine. Looks like she really has lost her mind."
Nathaniel nodded. "Yeah, let''s go. She can stay here from now on."
Cecilia agreed, and the two of them turned to leave.
Suddenly, Ste lunged and yanked Cecilia by the hair, shouting, "Ste! You
awful b*tch-give Nathaniel back to me!"
Cecilia felt a sharp pain in her scalp
and turned quickly. Just for a
moment, she thought she saw a strange smile flicker across Ste''s face. Nathaniel stepped in again, gently pried Ste''s fingers off Cecilia''s hair, and pulled Cecilia protectively into his arms?
"D*mn it!"
He normally wouldn''t raise a hand against a woman, but right now, his eyes were zing with fury. He was just about to charge forward when Cecilia stopped him.
"It''s fine. Don''t waste your breath on a lunatic." Cecilia reached out and grabbed
his hand. "Let''s go."
