<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Chapter 1050 Vivian Is Hurt</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Most of the people present mistook Nichs for Nathaniel.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Instead of letting Cecilia go, theyined, “Ah, her husband’s here. Your timing is perfect. Please discipline Cecilia properly. Her mother passed away, and she’s not willing to wear the mourning attire.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">From a distance, Magnus spotted Nichs approaching. He couldn’t be bothered about these rtives anymore, rushing over. “Guys, you misunderstood. This is Nathaniel’s twin brother, the CEO of Orion Corporation.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With that, he shot discreet nces at the Escobars.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The Escobars, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, suddenly adopted ingratiating smiles when they realized the man before them was the CEO of Orion Corporation.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Afterward, they continued to make Cecilia kneel. “Cecilia, stop being stubborn. Kneel!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs spoke up once more. “Think this through. She’s carrying the Rainsworth family’s lineage in her womb right now. If you force her to kneel and something happens to the baby, can you bear the -consequences?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Just one sentence from Nichs caused them to release Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">One of them tried buttering Nichs up. “Forget it. She can’t kneel because she’s pregnant.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yeah, forget it”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian had already called Zachary. She didn’t know who coulde to their aid, and the first person who came to mind was Zachary</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary had finished performing surgery on Nathaniel. Upon learning that Cecilia was being bullied by the Escobars, he promised to be there shortly before hanging up right away.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian, clutching her phone, rushed into the crowd. It was then she noticed that Nichs had arrived and was protectively standing in front of Cecilia, preventing the Escobars from doing anything to her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ceci, are you alright?” She approached, wrapping her arms around Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was fine, but Vivian had fallen and scraped both her elbow and feg, bleeding.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’m–fine.” Noticing Vivian’s injuries, Cecilia teared up.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She could tolerate being bullied herself, but she would never allow her loved ones to be harmed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Vivian, Jet’s go to the doctor first.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Okay.” Vivian thought that Cecilia was worried about the baby and immediately agreed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As she was about to leave, Cecilia looked at Nichs with gratitude. “Thank you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Are you feeling unwell? Let me give you a ride.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“No need.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia instructed the driver to take them to the nearest hospital or clinic.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As the two of them got into the car, the Escobars were still grumbling. “How delicate! We didn’t even do anything to her.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">A hint of coldness shed in Cecilia’s eyes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Perhaps we should go to a hospital. A clinic won’t do, Vivian suggested as she watched the driver pull up to a clinic.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia helped her out of the car. “It’s all right. We need to tend to your wounds.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Huh?”</font></font>
It was only after Vivian was taken into the clinic for her wounds to be examined and treated that she understood Cecilia was more concerned about her than about herself.
She had been so worried about Cecilia earlier that she didn’t even notice her wrist and leg were bleeding.
While she was tending to the wound, Cecilia was outside making a phone call.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
“Sven, how are the bodyguards I had you train managing?”
“They can handle basic emergencies without any issues,” Sven replied.
“Great. Could you ask them to stop by the funeral home?” Cecilia requested.
“All right.”
Without uttering another word, Sven sent twenty of his men as per Cecilia’s request.
After Cecilia ended the call, Vivian emerged from the treatment room. “Cecilia.”
“Feeling any better?” Cecilia asked.
“It’s nothing, just a minor injury.”
Cecilia’s gaze was filled with regret. Vivian wouldn’t have gotten hurt if it wasn’t for me.
“Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
The two of them returned to the funeral home, and as soon as they arrived, they noticed that the atmosphere waspletely different from before, eerily silent.
