<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Without a second thought, Cecilia nodded repeatedly. Yes. I’m not lying to you. I promise I will be with your daddy.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel couldn’t help but feel surprised.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot was overjoyed, eximing, “Yes! This is fantastic! I’ll have both my parents from now on.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon seeing his happiness, Cecilia was consumed by guilt.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She had always been consumed by her own thoughts, neglecting to consider her two children. Despite their intelligence, they were still just kids who naturally longed for aplete family.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After his bout of joy, Elliot felt a pang of hunger. He asked Cecilia to buy his favorite ravioli from a nearby ce.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Without giving it much thought, Cecilia simply stepped out.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After leaving, she made sure to inform Lucille and the others that the child was all right, suggesting they return home to rest first.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Lucille and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“It’s a relief that Eli is all right. We knew he would be all right.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yes.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Inside the ward, Nathaniel stayed vigntly by Elliot’s side.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Eli, tell me something. What did you mean when you said you want your mommy and me to be together?” Nathaniel asked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He was thrilled that Cecilia was willing to start anew with him, yet he didn’t want it to be solely because of the children.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot was feeling a bit better then, and he said to Nathaniel, “I’m not doing it for you, sc*mbag daddy.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“If not for me, then for whom?” Nathaniel asked solemnly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Of course, it’s for Mommy. Mommy has already had a hard time raising Jon and me on her own. She’s going to have little siblings for us soon. Surely, she shouldn’t have to take care of them all by herself, right? Elliot’srge eyes were fixed intently on Nathaniel. “Sc*mbag daddy, I’m helping you now, but it’s all for Mommy’s sake. You better treat Mommy right, or I won’t let you off the hook when I grow up.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing those words, Nathaniel didn’t be angry. Instead, he felt ratherforted.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel then lifted his hand.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Elliot thought Nathaniel would lose his temper out of embarrassment and strike him. However, to his surprise, Nathaniel simply gave his cheek a light pinch.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Eli, you’re doing the right thing. A real man should always protect his mother and wife.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">realized that was not the case at all.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon receiving thepliment, Elliot felt somewhat embarrassed. “Of course, I’ll take good care of Mommy. You should also do the same. Never, ever mistreat her.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the end, the two of them sealed their promise with a pinky swear.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Cecilia returned after buying ravioli, he saw Nathaniel and Elliot in a joyful conversation, oblivious to what they were discussing.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She first fed Elliot some food, and once Elliot was resting, she asked Nathaniel to step out of the hospital with her.</font></font>
At that moment, the sky outside the hospital was dark and heavy, with only the faint glow of the streetlights barely allowing them to see each other.
Cecilia cut to the chase and proposed, “Nathaniel, let’s get remarried.”
Upon hearing those words, Nathaniel wasn’t exactly thrilled. His sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Are you doing it for Eli?”
Cecilia didn’t respond directly. Instead, she asked, “Didn’t you always insist on getting back together before? Why are you hesitant now?”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Nathaniel averted his gaze elsewhere, making it impossible for Cecilia to discern the expression on his face. All she could do was listen to him speak.
“It’s not that I’m unwilling, but I want to wait until you’re wholeheartedly ready, not forced.”
Upon hearing these words, for a moment, Cecilia didn’t know what to say.
When Nathaniel was about to leave, she immediately called out to stop him.
“Shall we move in together first, then?” she asked.
After all, she had promised Elliot. She couldn’t lie to the child.
The two of them could live together, providing Elliot with both paternal and maternal love.
“All right.”
Nathaniel readily agreed.
The pair were about to say something else when a nurse approached. She informed them that Elliot had woken up and was crying, asking for them.
