Chapter 163 What Day It Is Today


    Cecilia knew that resistance was futile, so she silently endured.


    Nathaniel, leaning over her, issued a stern warning in her ear. “If you dare to meet him again, I’ll make sure neither of you have it easy!”


    Suddenly, he halted, his hand brushing against something damp. It was only then that he noticed the specks of crimson on his fingertips.


    He turned Cecilia around and discovered that blood was trickling down from behind her ear, spreading across her cheek.


    Nathaniel quickly removed her hearing aid.


    “Why is your ear bleeding again?”


    Cecilia could no longer hear what he was saying.


    She reckoned he probably uttered some hurtful words. It was better that they went unheard.


    Nathaniel asked again, “Do you have any medicine with you?”All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    His answer was met with silence.


    Nathaniel knew she couldn’t hear him, so he had no choice but to drive toward the hospital.


    The doctor treated Cecilia, but for a while, she still couldn’t hear.


    After the doctor left, an eerie silence filled the ward.


    Nathaniel prepared a cup of warm water and mixed in some medicine before offering it to her. Seeing herck of response, he took out his phone and typed a message for her to read.


    It read: Drink the medicine!


    Cecilia found herself reminiscing about a night over a decade ago as she watched the man. engrossed in a conversation with her over text messages on his phone.


    She was teased by her ssmates, which momentarily caused her to lose her hearing. When Nathaniel picked her up, he discovered that she couldn’t hear andmunicated with her through his phone.


    This moment was strikingly simr to that night.


    However, the Nathaniel of the present was no longer the tender–hearted young man he once was.


    Her eyes welled up slightly, turning a faint red, and she said through her pale lips, “That won’t be

    A sense of unease inexplicably settled in Nathaniel’s heart.


    Cecilia jerked away from him.


    “You jerk!”


    Nathaniel ignored her cries and pressed on.


    Cecilia had never experienced such humiliation before.


    Nathaniel was too strong to resist. He pressed her face against the window.


    “Haven’t you always wanted this? Today, I’ll fulfill your wish.”

    He continued typing: Who said so?


    “The doctor.”


    :


    Nathaniel couldn’t be bothered to type anymore. He directly held the cup to Cecilia’s lips.


    His impatience made him different from before.


    Cecilia recalled that night when his car had encountered a problem.


    The two of them sat in the car, and because of her fear, Nathaniel spent the night keeping herpany by chatting with her on his phone.


    She took the cup and drained it in one gulp, then turned away and curled up in the nket, ignoring himpletely.


    Nathaniel made his way to the balcony, lighting up one cigarette after another.


    Cecilia had barely fallen into a light sleep when she was jolted awake by a nightmare. In her dream, she was in a car, where she was being taken advantage of.


    She opened her eyes, her hand instinctively reaching out to grab the nket, but unexpectedly, she touched a firm arm instead.


    ncing to the side, she noticed that at some point, Nathaniel had fallen asleep next to her.


    She withdrew her hand, distancing herself slightly from him.


    The man sensed her awakening and swiftly pulled her into his embrace.


    “Can you hear me now?” Nathaniel asked in a deep voice.


    Cecilia arched her eyebrows subtly, feigning ignorance, and didn’t respond to him.


    Nathaniel lowered his head, kissing her forehead, then her nose bridge, and finally, her lips.


    Cecilia clenched her fists.


    The man’s kiss lingered before it finally ended.


    He caressed her cheek over and over again, murmuring, “What should I do with you?”


    Cecilia felt as if her heart had been pierced by a needle.


    After what seemed like an eternity, she couldn’t help but break the silence with a question.


    “Do you know what day it is today?”


    For some reason, she just wanted to know if there was a chance he might remember.


    Upon hearing Cecilia’s unexpected question, Nathaniel found himself taken aback.


    It’s the 9th of July. What day could it be?


    “Hmm?”


    Aside from significant holidays and routine matters, he wouldn’t make an effort to remember any other dates.


    A lump formed in Cecilia’s throat, spreading a bitter taste throughout.


    “Never mind.”


    Nathaniel found himself increasingly perplexed by Cecilia’s inscrutable thoughts.


    He also felt that she was gradually bing more distant from him.
