Chapter 336 Checking In On Cecilia
Nathaniel vaguely recalled something from five years ago.
He remembered leaving Cecilia all by herself when they got married.
He recalled how her face was streaked with tears when her father died. Yet, he had shown no shred of concern. He was consumed by how the Smith family had deceived him.
Nathaniel wanted to remember more, but his headache intensified.
He could only stop thinking. Then, he turned his gaze toward Martha.
“Martha, I can’t agree to your request.
Taken aback, Martha listened as Nathaniel continued, “I can’t bear to see the woman I love marry another man. I promise to change and treat her well. I’ll never hurt her again.”
Despite his pleas, Martha remained skeptical. “Your current transformation is due to your blindness. If you were fine, you would never have been kind to Ceci.”
Nathaniel was at a loss for words. He now knew that Martha would only believe him if she witnessed his transformation firsthand.
Upset, Martha refused to speak with Nathaniel. She returned to her room alone.
Aftering back, Nathaniel had yet to eat. Cecilia hadn’t returned either. Recalling what the caregiver had said when leaving, he realized that she might not being back for a few days.
Nathaniel picked up his phone and dialed her number.
Cecilia had already returned to Tud. First, she sought out Norman and arranged for his bail. After that, she went to find Vivian and Jonathan.
They were in the midst of their meal when she saw an iing call from Nathaniel. Immediately, she made an excuse to step outside and take the call.
“What’s the matter?”
“Where are you now?” asked Nathaniel, cutting straight to the chase.
your own
Cecilia didn’t want to tell him. “It’s none of your business where I am. Just mind business for now. I’ve already hired a caregiver to look after Martha. I won’t be back for a few days.”
As Nathaniel listened to her speak, he had someone trace the IP address of her phone.
Soon, he learned that Cecilia was in Tud.
Unsure of what she was doing alone in Tud, Nathaniel was filled with unease. He arranged for a car to pick him up and take him there.
“Be sure to stay safe, and don’t hesitate to call me if anythinges up. Also, it’s quite cold now. Stay warm…
Before Nathaniel could finish his sentence, Vivian poked her head out and Cecilia immediately ended the call.
She noticed that Nathaniel was bing increasingly talkative.
Vivian lowered her voice and asked, “Was it Nathaniel?”
Cecilia nodded.
“How dare he check on us? Does he really think he’s still the same all–powerful Nathaniel from the past?” Vivian scoffed.
Cecilia couldn’t help but chuckle. “Let’s forget him and continue with our meal.”
At this moment, Jonathan also poked his head out.
“Mommy, who’s checking on us?”
In haste, Cecilia rified, “It’s Martha. Martha was worried about meing here alone, so she just wanted to check on me.”
Upon hearing that, Jonathan let out a sigh.
“Why didn’t you let me talk to Grandma Martha? I’ve been missing her.”
“Why don’t we call Grandma Martha after we finish eating?” suggested Cecilia gently.
“Okay.”
They returned to the dining table.

Jonathan listened quietly on the side, taken aback by the shamelessness of his own grandmother and uncle.
Those eighty billion had been stolen from sc*mbag daddy,
However, if a real investigation were to take ce, the money would indeed pose a problem.
“Pa really has no shame. When your father passed away, most of the money and assets went to her and Magnus. Now, she still wants to take money from you.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t give them the money.”
She had repaid her debt to Pa, who had birthed her. Meanwhile, her current life had been saved by Martha, Calvin, and the doctors.
Vivian wanted to help too, but her practicing certificate had already been revoked,
Cecilia nodded. “I have something. With it, Pa and Magnus can’t get their hands on anything.”
