<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Why did they help us, though?” Charlotte wondered.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Suddenly, something came to Cecilia’s mind. “I think Eric mentionedst time that he’s working for Imminence Corporation.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Charlotte immediately went online to check, and sure enough, she found out that Eric was associated with Imminence Corporation. “So it was Eric who helped out. You should thank him properly this time.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right. Got it.” Cecilia then ended the call.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After dinner, Cecilia called Eric during her free time to express her gratitude.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Eric assumed she was thanking him for speaking up for her online and epted her thanks graciously. “Invite me for a meal when I return.”</font></font>Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Sure,” Cecilia readily agreed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot, sitting on the couch in the living room, nced over at Cecilia. Mommy has been chatting with Mr. Eric more frequently now. In the past, the only men she’d call in the evening were Jon and me.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He was somewhat concerned that someone might take advantage of Nathaniel’s amnesia and his</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">separation from Cecilia. If someone elsees between Daddy and Mommy, Jon and I might end up homeless!</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As these thoughts raced through his mind, Elliot suddenly clutched his stomach, his face contorted with pain. “Ouch, my stomach hurts!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">His abrupt outburst startled Lucille, who was sitting nearby. “Eli, what’s wrong?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">My stomach hurts,” Elliot eximed, “and my whole body aches!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Lucille immediately called out to Cecilia. “Ceci, Eli is in pain!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hanging up the phone, Cecilia rushed into the room, fearing the worst for her child. She quickly picked up Elliot and said, “Eli, calm down. Mommy will take you to the hospital right now.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot clung tightly to Cecilia’s clothes, crying, “Mommy, I don’t want to go to the hospital. I want to see Daddy.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia, her eyes filled with urgency, reassured him, “Mommy will take you to the hospital first, okay? Then I’ll get Daddy toe over.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Realizing his n had worked, Elliot nodded. “Okay.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">On the way to the hospital, Cecilia held Elliot in the car while making a call to Nathaniel.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel answered immediately. “What’s up?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Eli’s condition has worsened. I’m taking him to the hospital now. Can youe as soon as possible?” Cecilia’s voice trembled with worry.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel immediately became alert, his voice sharp with urgency. “I’ll be right there.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">the hospital. You’ll see him very soon, okay?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot was worried he might have startled Cecilia. “Mommy, the pain isn’t as bad anymore, don’t worry.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia, her eyes brimming with tears, thought he was just trying tofort her. She nodded, “You’re a good boy, Eli.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot’s fear grew as he worried he might have gone too far. “Mommy…”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Alright, sweetie. No more talking,” Cecilia interjected, not wanting him to try and console her, as she was still worried about his pain.</font></font>
Right now, Elliot was tightly embraced in Cecilia’s arms, and he could feel her heart racing uncontrobly. D*mn it, I should have toned it down to get her attention instead of pretending to be sick. Now she’s way too worried about me.
Upon reaching the hospital, Cecilia immediately requested the doctors to examine Elliot.
Not long after, Nathaniel also arrived at the scene. “How’s Eli?”
“They’re still examining him. I’m not sure how he’s doing now.” Cecilia lowered her head, her body slightly trembling.
Nathaniel approached her, offeringfort, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he’s fine.”
Cecilia nodded, though she couldn’t shake off her worry. “Can I hug you?”
She was genuinely worried and scared at that moment.
Nathaniel’s body stiffened, but after a moment, he replied, “Sure.”
Cecilia stepped forward and wrapped her arms tightly around him.
At that point, the embrace did help calm her nerves.
Unbeknownst to her, as she leaned in, Nathaniel remainedpletely tense.
