Chapter 872

    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Chapter 872 Have Feelings For Her</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The phone was quickly picked up on the other end. “What’s up?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Jessica had a car ident on her way back to the Quill residence, and she’s now in the hospital. She wants me to go and pay her medical bills,” Cecilia stated straightforwardly.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The Quill family had no particr connection with her.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She had no blood ties with Jessica either, so why should she interfere? It would be better to let Nathaniel handle it.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I understand,” Nathaniel responded solemnly, “I’ll have someone take care of it.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Okay.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia ended the call.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At the hospital.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessicay on the hospital bed, feeling as though her body was falling apart. In order to stay back, she had truly put in tremendous effort, almost crossing the threshold into the afterlife.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Atst, someone pushed the door open and came in.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With great difficulty, Jessica managed to pry her eyes open. To her surprise, she found herself looking at Mason.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Her chapped lips parted slightly as she asked, “Where’s Cecilia?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“There’s no need for Mrs. Rainsworth toe over just to pay your medical fees.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Mason was exceptionally indifferent.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He hade over intending to verify for his boss whether Jessica had really been in a car ident or if it was just a rumor. From the looks of it now, it seemed like it was indeed true.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica’s right leg was encased in a cast, making it impossible for her to get out of bed for at least a couple of weeks.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Oh.” The disappointment was clear in her eyes, but she quicklyposed herself and continued, “Did Nathaniel find out? Please tell him I’m fine. As soon as I recover, I’ll return to the Quill residence, I promise not to bother him anymore.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Had he not known Jessica’s true nature, Mason might have actually believed her pitiful facade.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Mason didn’t respond. He left the sickroom and took care of the bills before he called Nathaniel.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Boss, she really was in a car ident. I just reviewed her medical records, and they’re not fake.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Find a caregiver to look after her.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After all, Jessica was sent here by the Quill family. If the Rainsworth family failed to show any concern after she got hurt here, it would seem rather rude.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Understood.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Mason kept his phone away before addressing the hospital’s director, “Keep a close eye on Jessica Quill. If there’s any change in her condition, inform me immediately.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right.”</font></font>? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Mason had once again regained his sharpness.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He knew it was too much of a coincidence for someone like Jessica to have a car ident just as she was about to leave.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At Seabay Vi.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary had been here all day, coborating with Nathaniel on their work.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Once they were nearly done with their work, he couldn’t help but ask, “Nathaniel, how did you manage to endure?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Endure what?” Nathaniel asked.</font></font>


    “Being separated from Cecilia!” Zachary coughed once, lowering his voice as he added, “I know you have feelings for her now.”


    Nathaniel’s face darkened. “Do you think I have feelings for Cecilia?”


    Isn’t this something most people already know? Zachary thought to himself, yet his words betrayed his thoughts. “Isn’t it obvious? You risked your life to save her from that deadly snake on the mountain yesterday. If that’s not having feelings for her, what is?”


    Nathaniel scoffed dismissively with a smirk.


    “That’s because she’s carrying my children. I didn’t want one life to end up costing three.”


    Seeing him like this, Zachary suddenly felt the urge to tease him.


    “Cecilia, why have youe?”


    Nathaniel immediately turned toward the direction of the door. Even though he couldn’t see, his bodynguage said it all. He really was a dishonest man.


    “Nathaniel, I must have been mistaken. I just saw a shadow pass by,” Zachary said with augh.


    “You can get lost now,” Nathaniel said, his face impassive, clearly showing his irritation.


    In less than a minute, Zachary was forcibly driven out.


    From outside, he called out, “Nathaniel, don’t be so heartless. It’s raining, and I don’t have an umbre.”


    “Scram!”


    Hence, Zachary had no choice but to hurry home in the rain.


    He couldn’t believe he had the audacity to joke around with Nathaniel. He was so frustrated with himself that he wished he could n himself a few times


    What he didn’t know was that after he left, Nathaniel remained alone in the living room, unable to sit still.


    Be it in his mind, by his car, or in his heart, Cecilia kept haunting his every waking moment.
