<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel emerged from the treatment room, his vision now fully restored.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Nathaniel, how are you feeling?” Darren immediately asked soon as he saw hime out.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’m feeling much better now,” Nathaniel replied.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary and the doctor also stepped out. “We’ve just performed a cranial CT scan on Nathaniel. He’s recovering well after surgery. There shouldn’t be any residual effects.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“That’s good, then,” Darren said. “Nichs has been searching for Nathaniel recently. I think he has traced it back to me. I’m not sure what he’s nning to do,”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary scoffed, “Now that Nathaniel is all better, what can he possibly do?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Previously, Nathaniel was blind and had lost his memory, which allowed Nichs to take his ce.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, everything was now well with Nathaniel, so it was time for Nichs to return what belonged to him.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel’s gaze deepened. “I’ll go see him tomorrow.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Nathaniel, are you heading to Orion Corporation?” Zachary asked, filled with anticipation.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ever since Nichs took over Orion Corporation, Zachary’s position as a nominal manager was also revoked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel gazed out of the window. “Nichs has always believed that I stole his rightful ce. He feels that if it wasn’t for me hogging all the nutrients in our mother’s womb, causing his frail health at birth, he would have surpassed me. I gave him an opportunity by handing over Orion Corporation to him. My n is to use Imminence Corporation to crush Orion Corporation to prove whether he truly surpasses me.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nichs had always been the type to learn things the hard way.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hearing this, Zachary felt that the strategy was indeed usible. It was enough to dampen Nichs fervor.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“But he was after your life before. Are we just going to let that slide?” Zachary felt a lingering fear.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">If Nathaniel hadn’t been in the midst of recovering and relied on his instinct for self–preservation and ability to y dumb, he might not have survived.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“We’ll take our time and deal with himter!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Naturally, Nathaniel would get rid of his brother who wished for his demise.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, his thoughts drifted back to Cecilia. So much time had passed, yet there was still no response.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I need to step out for a bit tonight”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Where are you going?” Zachary was like a curious little baby, always asking questions about everything.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon receiving a nce from Nathaniel, he immediately shut his mouth.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“That’s odd. Where is he?” Zachary wondered.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Just forget it.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Darren didn’t want to waste time.</font></font>N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Given that the Smith residence was heavily guarded by bodyguards all around, it was quite difficult for Darren to sneak in to see Madeline and Amelia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He could only observe the situation from a distance. Although he couldn’t see clearly, it was enough to give him a sense of reassurance.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He looked on for a very long time.</font></font>
Zachary was worn out. Seeing that Darren refused to leave, he had no choice but to call for a ride home.
He vowed to himself that he would never let his curiosity lead him to follow these two men again. It was truly dull.
In the Smith residence, Cecilia had alreadyid down to sleep, lightly dozing off, when suddenly, she found herself being pulled into someone’s embrace.
Immediately, she opened her eyes and reached out to turn on the bedsidemp. Following that, she saw the magnified handsome face of Nathaniel.
“Am I dreaming? How did you get in?”
Naturally, Nathaniel wouldn’t admit that he had scaled the wall to get in and nearly got caught by Sven and the bodyguards.
“How many bodyguards did you ask Sven to hire?” he asked, his voice hoarse.
Originally, this area was filled with his people, but now, there were others present as well.
“Not many, about ten or so here,” replied Cecilia. “Is there a problem?”
“No, you did very well.”
Nathaniel realized it was great for Cecilia to have someone reliable in her life. However, a hint of disappointment lingered in his heart, fearing that she would need him less and less as time went on.
He held her tightly in his arms.
Cecilia struggled a bit and said, “You’re squishing my stomach.”
Only then did Nathaniel rx a bit, noticing that Cecilia’s belly was now noticeably swollen.
“What brings you here?” Cecilia asked again.
Nathaniel felt a bit awkward to admit that he was upset because Cecilia didn’t reply to his messages. Instead, he changed the subject. “Do you know that Nichs is getting married?”
Despite her seemingly casual words, Nathaniel remained unconvinced.
He looked away and said, “I just felt like it had been a long time since Ist saw you, so I came to visit.”
Cecilia felt that the current Nathaniel was acting a bit peculiar.
“Once you’re feeling better, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet. There’s no rush.”
“Yeah.”
“All right, time for bed.” Cecilia closed her eyes.
Nathaniel found himself gazing at her sleeping face, unable to resist reaching out to her.
Cecilia shook her head. “Stop messing around. I just want to get some good sleep.
This was a rejection.
For the first time. Nathaniel felt a twinge of fear. He also began to doubt his own charm, worrying that Nichs might steal Cecilia away from him.
Unaware of all these, Cecilia quickly fell asleep.
The next morning came, and it was still before dawn.
Cecilia’s phone started ringing even before she had woken up.
Nathaniel took a nce at the phone. It was a call from Nichs.
He furrowed his brows, abruptly ending the call.
Blinking groggily, Cecilia asked. “Who is it?”
“It’s just some spam call,”
“Oh.
“Get some more rest. I’m leaving first,” Nathaniel said in a hushed tone.
In a daze, Cecilia nodded. “Okay.”
Before he left, Nathaniel made sure to erase the call history.
Nichs stared at the disconnected call.
“Hasn’t Ms. Smith been heretely?” he asked the butler.
“She hasn’t
Nichs spected that Nathaniel was all right; otherwise, there was no way Cecilia could have remained so calm.
Elena had alsoe to know about Nathaniel’s disappearance and was currently staying in the manor. “What do you mean? Do you think Ceci took Nathaniel away?”
“Mons. I was just asking Nichs exined incagemvoice
