<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right.” Elliot held Cecilia tightly, no longer speaking.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia immediately dialed Nathaniel’s number, and Nathaniel quickly answered the phone, asking, “What’s up? Missing me already?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He still didn’t know what had happened.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was uninterested in entertaining his teasing, and her voice carried an undertone of urgency and a hint of tearfulness when she said, “Eli has fallen ill. You need to get to the hospital quickly.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hearing what was said, Nathaniel became serious. “Don’t worry. I’ll be there right away.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Zachary, instructing him to find the best pediatrician in Tud, along with experts in hereditary diseases and leukemia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Subsequently, he didn’t call for a driver. Instead, he drove himself to the hospital.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the hospital corridor, Cecilia sat dazedly on a chair, her gaze somewhat vacant as she stared at the fresh blood on her hands.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Even though she had experienced such situations numerous times before, each instance still terrified her to her core.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She often found herself thinking that if anything were to truly happen to Elliot, she probably wouldn’t be able to go on living.</font></font>Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Right then, Charlotteforted her, “Boss, everything will be okay. Don’t worry.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Lucille also said, “Yeah. Everything will definitely be all right.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Absolutely! We got him to the hospital immediately. Don’t worry,” said Madeline</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Seeing the three of them worried about her, Cecilia brushed away her tears and forced a calm demeanor. “All right.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay,” she muttered to herself.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The three of them grew increasingly worried about Cecilia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Fortunately, at this moment, Nathaniel and Zachary arrived with a team of medical staff.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Without uttering another word, Zachary swapped his clothes with the doctor’s and headed toward the operating room.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel found himself hv Cecilia’s side hending down to embrace her</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Seeing that Nathaniel had also arrived, Lucille and her twopanions didn’t want to y the role of the third wheel. Thus, they decided to wait outside the hospital.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the corridor, only Nathaniel and Cecilia were present.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He gently patted Cecilia’s shoulder and said, “I’m here now. I promise nothing will happen to Eli.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">A lump formed in Cecilia’s throat when she heard his deep andmanding voice. Her mouth was then filled with a bitter taste, and before she knew it, tears were once again streaming down her face.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She was at a loss for words. It took her a while before she could muster a simple hum in response.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel held her even tighter.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Tears streamed relentlessly from Cecilia’s eyes when she said, “Nathaniel, I’m so scared.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yes, I know. Don’t be afraid while I’m here,” Nathaniel gently reassured her in a soft voice,</font></font>
“Okay.” Cecilia nodded, yet she couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.
She nced back at the doors to the operating room before lifting her arms to embrace Nathaniel.
From Nathaniel’s presence, she felt a slight sense of relief.
As each moment ticked by, atst, the doors to the operation room were pushed open.
Cecilia was helped up by Nathaniel, and her legs felt weak. She looked into Zachary’s eyes, full of pleading. “Is Eli okay?”
Zachary gave a nod. “Yes. We’ve managed to save him.”
The weight in Cecilia’s heart finally settled. “Thank you! Thank you!”
“Don’t worry about it. Just be sure to take care of the child’s emotions in the future and try not to let him experience too much emotional upheaval. Also, once surgery is an option, try to get it done as soon as possible,” Zachary said.
“All right. Thank you.”
Ceci was genuinely grateful to him.
Zachary felt that all of this was something he needed to do. He owed Cecilia so much that it would be difficult to repay in a lifetime.
“Go check on the child,” Zachary said.
“Okay.”
Cecilia’s legs had given out on her. With Nathaniel’s support, she was led into the ward to check on their son, Elliot.
Elliot had already woken up, his face exceptionally pale. Seeing Cecilia and Nathaniel arriving together, he couldn’t help but feelforted. “Mommy, you’re not fooling me, are you? You’re really going to be with Daddy again, right?”
