Chapter 1103_When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1103 Not Exposing Her

 Cecilia followed his gaze, feeling somewhat nervous.

 By this time, Zachary should have arrived, right?

 Thankfully, Nichs didn’t say much. Turning around he gave a small smile, “Of course, I understand. You’re no longer that naive girl from before.”

 “Let’s take a walk somewhere further,” suggested Nichs.

 “Okay.”

 Cecilia felt like she caught a break.

 Meanwhile, Zachary had already rushed over. He entered the room through the back door to examine Nathaniel.

 Cecilia had no idea how long he would be inspecting, so she just had to keep apanying Nichs.

 The two of them were casually chatting. When the sound of a text message came from the phone, Cecilia nced at it and then said to Nichs, “It’s gettingte. We should head back.”

 Nichs eyed her and didn’t have the heart to expose her.

 “Okay.”

 They returned together. Nathaniel was still not fully awake, while Cecilia was feeling a bit hungry. So, she ordered some food and shared a meal with Nichs.

 Nichs hadn’t experienced this in a long time. Eating together, taking walks, chatting, it felt just like they were a couple.

 As Cecilia progressed into herbor, her belly continued to grow, and her appetite improved significantly.

 In front of Nichs, Cecilia felt a bit shy, not daring to eat too much.

 Nichs saw right through her at a nce and said to her, “Eat a little more. Otherwise, I won’t be able to finish it all. It’d be a waste.”

 Cecilia’s eyes lit up.

 “Okay.”

 She took a second helping and began to eat with joy.

 Nichs silently observed the scene before him, which was reminiscent of his childhood.

 He remembered how, in the beginning, when he brought food for Cecilia, she was always very polite, only eating a little bit. However, it was only after he imed he couldn’t finish it all that she began to eat heartily.

 These small habits remained the same; it was the significant ones that had changed.

 “Are you all right?” Cecilia put down her utensils.

 Nichs stood up. “I’m okay. A little warm water will do.”

 After he took a small cup of warm water and finished it, he indeed felt significantly morefortable.

 Upstairs, Nathaniel had also awakened.

 Upon hearing amotion, Cecilia set down her utensils and headed upstairs.

 “I’m here, don’t be afraid,” Cecilia said.

 Upon hearing Cecilia’s voice, Nathaniel’s emotions instantly settled down.

 After washing his face for him, Cecilia then led him downstairs.

 “Let’s go back.”RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

 They helped Nathaniel into the car and together, they returned to the manor.

 When Nichs was leaving, he said to Cecilia, “Please help me thank Nathaniel for today.”

 Cécilia was somewhat confused.

 Nichs immediately exined, “If it weren’t for him, there’s no way I could have spent the entire day with you.”

 After he left, Cecilia was not quite sure what he was trying to convey.

 It wasn’t until Zachary called Cecilia that she understood. He exined that apart from the new injuries on Nathaniel’s body, the pinpricks and blood extraction were all part of administering medication beneficial for his recovery. There was nothing to worry about.

 Only then did Cecilia understand that Nichs had long ago seen through their tricks.

 “From what it seems, Nichs wouldn’t harm Nathaniel,” Cecilia stated.

 Zachary was also at a loss.

 “Perhaps.”

 “What else have you discovered? Is it truly impossible for Nathaniel to recover?” asked Cecilia.

 “It’s not certain yet,” Zachary replied. “To find out, we would need aprehensive inspection facility.”

 Upon hearing this, Cecilia couldn’t help but feel worried.

 “Cecilia, don’t worry just yet. Today, at the very least, we’ve proven one thing–that Nichs did not harm Nathaniel.”

 “Okay, I understand,” Cecilia said before ending the call.

 She returned to Nathaniel’s room but found it empty.

 Suddenly she was nulled into a strong embrace Refore Cecilia could react she heard a familiar voice hy her ear. “Cecilia.”
