    December twelfth, eleven o’clock, xx card charged one million eight hundred eighty–eight thousand.


    In just a short span of half an hour, millions were spent.


    Though Nathaniel did not care for the money, he was quite curious as to what on earth could a child buy that would cost so much all at once?


    The crucial point was, wasn’t he supposed to be at school at this time?


    Nathaniel picked up his phone, dialed a number, and instructed, “Can you check what Elliot is doing at the kindergarten?”


    “Yes, Sir.”


    In the room next door, Cecilia was taking care of Martha in bed with the help of the caregiver. It was only today that she discovered the caregiver had been reced by Nathaniel.


    Martha had told her that the caretaker she had hired nearly drove Nathaniel to his wit’s end with all sorts of outrageous behavior.


    Cecilia had trouble believing the scene she was picturing in her mind, it seemed almost too unreal.


    “You should have recorded a video for me to see,” Cecilia said, her eyes curving into a smile.


    She desired to converse more with Martha, in an attempt to alleviate her physical pain.


    “Back then, I really hadn’t thought about filming a video. What a pity.”


    Martha told the caregiver that she was thirsty.


    The caregiver immediately went downstairs to fetch water.


    Once the caregiver had left, Martha grasped Cecilia’s hand. “Cecilia, he brought Jonathan back, nothing bad will happen, right?”


    Cecilia was also unsure.


    “Don’t worry, he’s blind and has lost his memory. He can’t do much.”


    Martha sighed. “I’ve been feeling restlesstely.”


    When Martha was alone with Nathaniel, she realized he wasn’t as bad as she initially thought. However, she dared not gamble on the idea that he would always be kind to Cecilia.


    Cecilia spent some timeforting Martha, assuring her not to worry.


    She left the room only after she had grown tired..


    After descending the stairs, Cecilia nced at Nathaniel’s tightly shut room, but didn’t pay much. attention to it.


    Recently, due to her pregnancy, she would asionally feel nauseous. She wanted out for a stroll.


    to go


    Trudging through a nket of umted snow, the cold wind brushed against her face.


    Cecilia had no idea how long she had been walking when suddenly, her gaze fixed on something.


    Not far off, the impably dressed Pa was making her way toward her.


    Cecilia’s pupils abruptly narrowed, vividly recalling the past when Pa had forced her into marriage.


    Pa had sought out Cecilia before. At that time, seeing her living in such a rundown ce, she didn’t want to acknowledge their acquaintance.


    However, after Nathaniel had warned her son the day before, Pa felt that she still had some value.


    “Ceci, I finally found you.” Pa approached Cecilia, donning leather gloves, and took her hand, her eyes filled with tender affection.


    Cecilia couldn’t have been more aware of her biological mother’s shifting moods. It was only when she needed something that she would show her a kind face.


    Cecilia abruptly pulled her hand away.


    “Mdm. Pa,” she said, “Please, just call me Cecilia. We’ve already severed our mother–daughter rtionship.”


    Pa’s face hardened, and she withdrew her hand into her coat. A cold smile curved on her lips. “Blood is thicker than water. You can’t just cut a mother–daughter bond with a single word.”


    Cecilia’s hand tightened, her fingertips digging deeply into her palm.


    “What are you really here for? To stand up for Magnus?”


    Pa didn’t respond. Instead, she sized Cecilia up, noticing she had changed quite a bit. She had learned how to dress up and apply makeup.


    Cecilia was quite a sight, even more stunning than Pa in her younger years. Her simple, understated makeup was enough to draw affectionate gazes.


    No wonder, up until now, Nathaniel was still unwilling to divorce her..


    “I just wanted to see you, to bring you back to Tud. As for your brother’s incident, it was his fault. He was the one who started it, I’m aware of it all.”
