<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel awkwardly lifted his hands to embrace her.</font></font>Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’m feeling much better now, thank you.” Cecilia’s emotions had calmed, and she gently pulled away from his embrace.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The moment she stepped away, the sudden emptiness in his arms made him feel as though something vital had been taken from him.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Soon, the doctor came out with the test results, reassuring them that Elliot’s condition hadn’t worsened and hoping the news would bring them some relief.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot was soon moved to a regr ward.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia entered the room, her eyes filled with concern. “Eli, are you still in pain?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot, feeling a bit guilty, shook his head. “Not anymore, Mommy.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He then looked over at Nathaniel, who stood nearby. “Daddy…”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yes?” Nathaniel responded solemnly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot began to plead. “Daddy, can you pleasee back and stay with Mommy?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot’s eyes filled with tears. “The kids at preschool said that when Mommy and Daddy live apart, it means they’re getting a divorce. Does that mean you and Mommy don’t want me and Jon anymore? Jon has Old Mr. Sinir, Mr. Zachary, and Ms. Kennedy, but I only have you guys.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As Elliot voiced his concerns, Mason, who was standing outside, overheard and felt a pang of sympathy for the boy.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Mason quietly vowed to himself that when he and Lucille had children, he would never argue with her, no matter what. He would never live apart from her, regardless of the circumstances.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia hadn’t realized the emotional toll their separation had taken on Elliot, and her heart sank with guilt.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Eli, Mommy and Daddy aren’t getting a divorce,” she reassured him.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot turned away. “I don’t believe it. If you’re not, why don’t you live together? Why did Daddy move to a new ce, and why did you?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia didn’t know how to respond.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Fearing that his emotional distress would worsen his condition, Cecilia quickly responded, “Let’s go back home today, okay?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot’s eyes lit up. “Really?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He turned to Nathaniel once more. “Sc*mbag daddy, will youe back too? You wouldn’t abandon Mommy and me, would you?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel agreed without hesitation, surprising even himself with how quickly the words left his mouth.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After agreeing to return home with Cecilia and Elliot, Nathaniel and Mason stepped out of the hospital. Nathaniel felt the weight in his head growing heavier, and his mental state felt shaky at best.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">To make matters worse, his vision remained cloaked in darkness, a constant reminder of his limitations.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He hated the thought of being useless, but when it came to his sight, there was no denying the truth.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Have you handled everything with the Evans family?” Nathaniel asked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yes, it’s all taken care of,” Mason confirmed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Good.”</font></font>
Afterpleting the discharge procedures, Cecilia and Elliot returned homete into the night, with Elliot happily holding one of Cecilia’s hands and one of Nathaniel’s.
Upon arriving at Daltonia Vi, Elliot insisted that Nathaniel and Cecilia share the same bed that night.
They had no choice but toply with his request.
As theyy on the spacious bed, an awkward silence filled the room, and the temperature seemed to rise with the tension.
Before leaving, Elliot cheerfully waved at them. “Daddy, Mommy, rest well. I’ll see you tomorrow morning after I wake up.”
To their surprise, after Elliot left the room, he found a key and locked the door from the outside.
On his way back to his room, he muttered, “What would this family do without me?”
Nathaniel never imagined he’d find himself lying next to Cecilia in the master bedroom. For reasons he couldn’t quite exin, his head began to throb slightly and an unfamiliar warmth spread through his body whenever she was close.
Cecilia, feeling equally unsettled, noticed that Nathaniel seemed like the man she used to know. Yet, sleeping beside him after everything felt improper. She hesitated before saying, “Once Eli is asleep, I’ll go to my room.”
Nathaniel responded quickly, his voice firm but gentle. “I should sleep in the next room instead. You’re pregnant, and it’s not easy for you to move around. I’lle back first thing in the morning.”
