Chapter 1271_When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1271 An Act

 Upon hearing that, Cecilia immediately panicked. “Let’s go. We need to get to the hospital.”

 Yet, Elliot seized her hand and said, “I don’t want to go to the hospital. I want to see Daddy. Where is Daddy?”

 Upon seeing the way Elliot was acting, Cecilia knew he was faking illness, so she pulled away his hand.

 “Elliot, do you even realize what you’re doing right now?” she asked.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.

 Elliot noticed that Cecilia was angry. He squatted where he stood, his face paling. “Mommy…”

 “If you want to see your daddy, I can arrange for someone to take you to him,” Cecilia said again.

 She hadn’t expected that after raising two kids on her own, her younger child, Elliot, would be so fond of Nathaniel. To her surprise, Elliot even tried to feign illness to win her sympathy.

 Upon seeing Cecilia’s anger, Elliot immediately dropped his act of pretending to be sick. He stood up, reaching out to Cecilia. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Please don’t be mad. I don’t want to go to Daddy’s.”

 He preferred Cecilia over Nathaniel.

 “Mommy?”

 Cecilia was still somewhat upset.

 The severity of Elliot’s illness was noughing matter.

 “Mommy, I was truly wrong.”

 Upon seeing how pitiful Elliot looked, Madeline came to his defense, saying, “Let it go, Ceci. He’s just a kid.”

 “Maddie, don’t mind him. He’s yed this trick more than once. He has no idea that no one will trust a person who lies too often,” Cecilia exined.

 Madeline thought those words made sense. If he keeps feigning illness, people will eventually stop believing him. What would he do then?

 As a mother herself, Madeline understood how agonizing it was for a mother to see her child fall ill. “Eli, if you want to see your daddy, you can tell your mommy properly. You mustn’t pretend to be sick to scare her in the future, okay?”

 Most mothers would willingly take on their child’s illness themselves if they could.

 Elliot nodded repeatedly. “Yes! I’ve got it.”

 He dared not y clever tricks anymore.

 For some unknown reason, he was indeed feeling a bit unwell at that moment, his breathing inexplicably bingbored.

 Perhaps he was too agitated, and the fear of Cecilia rejecting him had truly triggered his illness this time. His nose warmed, and blood started to gush out.

 “Mommy…” Elliot weakly called out.

 Upon witnessing this scene, Cecilia was utterly terrified, promptly scooping him up in her arms.

 Madeline followed suit, and so did Lucille and Charlotte.

 “I’m here. I will take you to the hospital,” Cecilia said.

 Cecilia’s heart was racing with fear after she got into the car. She was terrified. Lately, Elliot has seldom had nosebleeds. I might have wrongly med the child earlier.

 “I’m sorry, Eli. I misunderstood you just now.”

 Elliot was somewhat feeble. “Mommy… It was all an act at first… Now, it’s real…”

 “All right. I understand. Don’t speak. We’re going straight to the hospital.”

 Elliot nestled into Cecilia’s embrace, feeling extraordinarily at ease.

 “Mommy, am I going to die?” he asked.

 “Don’t talk nonsense. That’s not going to happen.” Cecilia wept silently.

 “Mommy, I love you so much,” Elliot mumbled unclearly.

 Cecilia nodded. “Okay. I love you too.”

 The three people who boarded the car with them were moved to tears.

 Elliot asked again, “Mommy, please be with Daddy, okay?”

 He had observed Nathaniel closely, and he found that Nathaniel truly treated Cecilia well.

 That was precisely why, despite his previous strong dislike for Nathaniel, he found himself aiding Nathaniel then.
