Chapter 1064 No Longer Normal
In response, Cecilia shook her head.
“Honestly speaking. I always felt that he didn’t love me It was only after he repeatedly risked his safety to save me that I realized he had feelings for me. Originally, I only planned to stay with him for the sake of the kids. But for some inexplicable reason, I slowly found myself growing fond of him.”
As Nicholas listened, indecipherable emotions brewed in the depths of his gentle
Essentially, all Cecilia said boiled down to something simple–love grew over time.
Suddenly, Nicholas began to cough violently.
“Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Cecilia asked.
Nicholas waved a dismissive hand. After his cough had abated slightly, he picked up his thermos and took a sip of warm water. “It’s fine. It’s nothing new.”
As they spoke, the driver had already driven into the manor.
The place was very secluded, with men standing guard all around. Thus, even the slightest movement wouldn’t be able to escape Nicholas‘ knowledge.
“We’re here. Let’s go out.”
“Okay.”
Cecilia and Nicholas got out of the car, one after another.
The manor was brightly lit. Even before they entered the house, they could hear the sounds of things shattering from afar.
“I want to go home! Home! Let me go home…Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
A familiar voice drifted out from within.
Cecilia’s nerves stretched taut.
“Brace yourself emotionally. My brother is no longer normal.” Nicholas stated.
What does that meant
The moment the door was swung open, Cecilia understood his meaning.
The spacious living room was littered with all sorts of things as far as the eye could see. Nathaniel was dressed haphazardly in disarrayed clothes, his hair unkempt. He was grabbing things and tossing them away, his whole person a picture of sloppiness.
The help had all taken cover on both sides of the room fearful of getting hit.
Shock was evident in Cecilia’s eyes. Before she could digest things, a vase was suddenly hurled at her.
“You are all evil! Go away! Don’t come near me!” Nathaniel shouted.
Reacting quickly. Nicholas pulled Cecilia away at once
With a loud crash, the vase shattered on the floor.
If it hadn’t been for him, it would have hit Cecilia right on the head.
“Take a good look and see who this is, Nathaniel! It’s Cecilia standing at the door,” Nicholas said to Nathaniel
Nathaniel was seemingly oblivious to his words and continued hurling things away. At first, it was a vase. When there was nothing left, he started throwing chairs.
Cecilia remained rooted to the spot, unable to believe everything before her eyes.
In truth, Nicholas brought her along this time to determine whether Nathaniel was genuinely mad or merely feigning it.
If it was the latter, he still wanted the man’s life.
But upon seeing Nathaniel trying to harm Cecilia, he was certain that his brother had truly lost his mind.
“Come, let’s go out first, Ceci.”
Cecilia followed Nicholas out in a daze. The help swiftly shut the doors behind them, ensuring that Nathaniel couldn’t escape.
Even outside, Nathaniel’s shouts and the crashes of things being smashed around were still audible.
Cecilia’s face went even paler. “What’s wrong with him Has he been seen by a doctor?”
“The doctor said he secretly had a cranial surgery, which unfortunately went awry, leaving him intellectually disabled now.” Nicholas paused before continuing. “He probably trusted Zachary and Mason too much. If I hadn’t brought men to the hospital to look for him, it’s uncertain if he would still be alive.”
“The surgery was arranged by Zachary and Mason?” Cecilia asked.
“Yes.” Nicholas nodded. Then, he said, “It’s getting late. T’ll drive you home.”
Cecilia glanced back in the direction where Nathaniel was currently residing, somewhat worried. “Can he come back with me?”
