Chapter 713 Behind Her Back


    “All right. I’ll be right there,” Calvin said as he ended the call.


    Nathaniel’s actions nearly cost him his life. No spirited man would just let it go.


    Since Nathaniel was in town, Calvin wouldn’t naturally let him go.


    The moment he climbed into the car, he found himself wondering if Cecilia would consider. being with him if Nathaniel were to die.


    The moment this thought surfaced, he quickly dismissed it.


    That was because Nathaniel was the father of Cecilia’s children. If Nathaniel were to die, Cecilia would never forgive him in this lifetime.


    This time around, his only intent was to seek revenge, not to take Nathaniel’s life.


    “Calvin, Nathaniel’s security detail is quite solid, but I’ve thought of a way to lure him out,” Yannick informed Calvin.


    “What’s the n?”


    “It’s a secret.”


    Yannick ended the call.


    He didn’t inform Calvin about his ns. He had briefly enlisted the help of a hacker to take control of Cecilia’s phone. Using Cecilia’s number, he sent a message to Nathaniel, inviting him. for a meeting.


    Yannick was also unsure if Nathaniel woulde out.


    Three minutes after the message was sent, rain began to fall outside. That was when Yannick saw


    tall figure emerge from the hotel.


    With a loud boom, lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the rumbling echo of thunder.


    Initially, Cecilia slept soundly. However, she was jolted awake in the middle of the night by the sound of thunder, leaving her drenched in a cold sweat.


    She was drenched in sweat, initially attributing it to the room being too warm. She took a bath in the bathroom and returned to her bed to rest.


    She didn’t know why, but when shey down again, she found herself struggling to fall asleep.


    Outside, lightning shed, and thunder roared as the rain poured down heavily.


    Upon checking her phone, she saw it was already three in the morning.


    Cecilia had nothing to do, so she decided to browse through the local news. Suddenly, she came across a piece reporting an incident at a hotel nearby. The details of what exactly happened weren’t clear.


    After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, the sudden sound of a door opening and footsteps echoed from outside.


    Cecilia rose from her bed, slipping into her overcoat before opening the door. There, she saw Calvin, who hadn’t slept, stepping inside drenched from the rain, a fierce glint in his eyes.


    “Why aren’t you asleep?” Cecilia didn’t notice anything amiss with him.


    The lighting was dim, and it was only then that Calvin noticed Cecilia emerging from the room. His heart fluttered involuntarily, and he quicklyposed his facial expression.


    “I woke up again due to the pain and decided to take a walk,” he lied calmly.


    After hearing that, Cecilia immediately stepped forward, her eyes filled with concern. “Why didn’t you call me if you were not feeling well? Let’s go to the hospital. You’re soaked from the rain. What if your wound gets infected?”


    Looking at the urgency in her eyes, Calvin felt a whirlwind of emotions.


    “It’s okay. I’m not going to die.”


    “No. We’re heading to the hospital right now.”


    At such ate hour, it would be inconvenient to summon the personal doctor.


    Calvin couldn’t change her mind, so he answered, “All right.”


    En route to the hospital by car, a heavy downpourshed against the vehicle’s windows.


    Cecilia didn’t understand what was happening to her. An unspoken restlessness engulfed her.


    “Are you still hurting?” she asked Calvin again.


    She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she could faintly detect the scent of blood on Calvin’s body.


    She thought his wound had reopened.


    “It doesn’t hurt anymore. Don’t worry.” Calvin felt a bit guilty.


    He had never considered using Cecilia to deal with Nathaniel, but that day, Yannick did just that.


    Yannick was his buddy.


    Hence, when Yannick took advantage of Cecilia, it was tantamount to him using Cecilia.


    He was genuinely afraid that when Cecilia discovered the truth one day, she would be angry with him


    Suddenly, a call came through, and Calvin pulled out his phone.


    When he saw it was a call from Yannick, he immediately hung up.


    Cecilia seemed a bit puzzled. “Why aren’t you answering?”


    “This guy doesn’t have anything important going on.”


    “I see. Cecilia had a feeling that he was hiding something from her.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Finally, they arrived at the hospital,


    The doctor was examining Calvin’s wounds while Cecilia waited outside.


    That was when Calvin returned Yannick’s call.
