âCece, we heard that Verda Hill is in the hospital so weâre here to visit him!â
Jessica stated emotionlessly.
These two sisters had always been as cold as machines, showing no signs of warmth.
Cecelia, used to their demeanor, nodded. âYes, Verda is here. You can go and see him.â
Cecelia allowed them to enter the ward. Everyone was somewhat acquainted. When they entered, Everest Theodore got up to greet them.
âJessica, Kara!â
âJessica, Kara, you donât have to come all this way just to see me. Iâm already much better,â Verda said.
After visiting Verda, Cecelia had something to do and left the ward. Not too far away, Jessica and Kara caught up with her.
âCece, wait for us.â
âWhatâs wrong?â
1/5
âCece, our boss asked us to look after you and ensure your safety,â Kara said.
âI understand, but I donât need you to come and protect me for the time being, I can handle things on my own. Please go back and help senior brother. Isnât he preparing for the groupâs participation in the banquet? He must be very busy.
Cecelia finished speaking, gave a faint smile, and walked away.
When she turned her face, no one saw the smile gradually fading away.
It could be said that ever since she discovered her daughter was still alive and had been adopted by Maggie Taylor as a hostage for five years, she had become suspicious of Jessica and Karaâs past assistance.
However, she couldnât find any clues that proved their connection with Maggie Taylor.
Nevertheless, she could no longer trust them as she did before!
For the sudden appearance of the sisters. Cecelia âs immediate 5% 14:34

response was to be vigilant.
After Cecelia walked away, Jessica and Kara exchanged glances.
âWhat should we do now? It seems like Cece is meaning to avoid us,â Jessica asked.
âYeah, I feel that too. Maybe we need to do something to win her trust back,â Kara analyzed.

The two sisters began to plan how to regain Cecelia âs acceptance. After visiting Verda, Cecelia went to check on Cynthia Nelson.
Cynthianâs condition had improved considerably, and she spoke much more clearly than a few days ago. Aurora Snow was taking care of her diligently in the ward.
When Cecelia arrived at the ward, she happened to meet Shepard Nuno standing outside.
âShepard, why arenât you going in?â
Shepard Nuno turned back and smiled awkwardly at her.
âHas Cynthiaâs memory still not come back to her?â Cecelia asked.
âYes, she still doesnât remember me,â Shepard Nuno replied.
Because Cynthiaâs memory was stuck two years ago, she considered Shepard and Cecelia as strangers.
Even if she knew their identities, the feelings she had for them were no longer there.
Especially for Shepard, having experienced her enthusiasm and now witnessing her coldness, the emotional gap was the most unbearable.
âItâs alright, Shepard. Acquaintances begin as strangers. Do you remember when Cynthia first met you? She was smitten with your and insisted that I introduce you to her.
âNow that she has forgotten you, treat her as a new friend. Itâs a good opportunity for both of you.
âIf you still canât accept her as before, itâs also a good chance to become familiar strangers,â Cecelia suggested.
âI understand,â Shepard Nuno forced a bitter smile.
Someone had already left an indelible mark in his heart. At this moment admitting it was over how could never do it.

However, Cecelia was right; he and Cynthia could start anew.
It was Cynthia who had pursued him relentlessly before. So, he could take the initiative, right?
âLetâs go in and see her.â

Cecelia invited Shepard to enter the ward together. When Cynthia saw her sister-in-law and the doctor coming in, she greeted Cecelia alone.
âCece, youâre here!â
âCynth, Shepard and I came to see you. Are you feeling better today?â
âIâm a bit better. Mom is taking good care of me.â
As Cynthia and Shepardâs eyes met, she felt that the way Dr. Nuno looked at her was strange.
Cecelia wanted to give them some space and said, âShepard, could you stay and check on Cynthia? I have something to attend to.â
Aurora also got it and added, âDr. Nuno, could you please take care of Cynthia for me? I need to go buy something.â
After they left, only the Cynthia and Shepard remained in the ward, staring at each other.
Cynthia stared at him curiously and asked, âDr. Nuno, why do you always look at me with that expression?â
âWhat kind of expression?â
Shepard sat down by her bedside and suddenly leaned closer. âDonât you have something to say to me?â
Cynthia had heard that he had given her a blood transfusion and saved her life, so saying thank you was necessary.
âThank you for giving me the blood and saving my life.â
âI saved your life, and all you can say is thank you?â
âWhat else should I say? Do I need to marry you?â
âYes!â
The handsome face of the man drew closer, startling Cynthia. âWhat are you doing?â
Chapter 302 Marry Me Then!
âWhat do you think?â
4/5
Shepard suddenly grasped her wrist and enveloped her in his arms. âYou just said you would marry me, didnât you?â
âI⦠I was just jokingâ¦â
Cynthiaâs scalp tingled, and she looked somewhat frightened. In her eyes, Dr. Nuno was no different from those terrifying, deranged doctors.
Seeing the fear in her, Shepard suddenly smiled and let go of her. âThen consider yourself my girlfriend.â
Did he just ask her to be his girlfriend?
Was he pursuing her?
âThatâs not quite right. I already have someone I like.â
Cynthia bluntly rejected him, and Shepard didnât seem angry. Instead, he asked, âWho do you like?â
âOf course, itâs my idol, Jimmy Bloom!â
Shepard didnât say anything else. He left the ward and returned. shortly with two magazines in his hands. âHere.â
âWhatâs this?â
He placed the magazines on the bedside table, and Cynthia found that they were photo collections of Jimmy Bloom.
âAh, itâs all Jimmy! Wow, heâs so handsome! Thank you!â
Cynthia was bored, and these handsome photo collections were enough to pass the time.
In the days that followed, Shepard became an accommodating assistant. Whatever Cynthia wanted, he made an effort to fulfill her wishes.
While the heated news from Christieâs Auction House was still circulating, another entertainment news story took the spotlight:
Two-Time Academy Award Winner Jimmy Bloom Joins New Agency, Universal Entertainment.
This news immediately caught the attention of many fans of Jimmy Bloom, and they began to show their support for him.

Universal Entertainment even organized a special welcome ceremony for Jimmy Bloom, highlighting the significance they attached to him.
5/5
This made Jimmy Bloom especially happy, knowing that everything had been arranged by Cecelia.
âGreat, my goddess is so good to me!â
Originally, Cecelia had planned to personally visit Universal Entertainment and complete the final signing ceremony. However, she received a call from Remington.
âCece, something has happened here. You need to hurry here!â
