When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1125 Being Followed

Throughout the entire day, Nathaniel hadn’t received a response from Cecilia.

His emotions were in complete disarray.

Zachary fearlessly sought him out, even going so far as to say to him, “Nathaniel, you have no idea how ostentatious Nicholas is. All the major media outlets are covering his and Cassandra’s wedding of the century,”

This is so cliched. Nicholas has stirred up such a big fuss. What would happen if I ended up embarrassing myself when it came time for me to marry Vivian? Ugh! Why would I think of marrying Vivian? Zachary’s mind was filled with wild and fanciful thoughts.

Nathaniel didn’t greet him with a friendly face. “You aren’t followed this time, are you?”

“Nathaniel, don’t worry. I’ve been extremely careful this time,” Zachary assured sincerely.

Had it not been for his understanding of Zachary, Nathaniel would have really suspected him of being a traitor.

“Darren, show me your daughter.”

Zachary was also eager to see the child.

He then set out and found Darren after much difficulty Unexpectedly, Darren’s expression was sour, and he seemed somewhat dazed.

“The child is lost along with her.”

“Huh?” Zachary was taken aback. “How could a child just go missing?”

“What I’m saying is that she took the child away.” Darren was so desperate that he could search every nook and corner to find that woman.

The previous night, the woman had unexpectedly become very compliant. This led him to lower his guard around her, and by morning, he had entrusted their daughter to her care.

Unexpectedly, in just a short span of time, the woman had seemingly vanished into thin air.

In the past, she often ran away from home, but it wouldn’t take long before she was found.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

This time, the security was undoubtedly tight, and Darren didn’t know how on earth she managed to escape.

Darren couldn’t make sense of it.

“Don’t worry. Doesn’t your wife often leave home without a trace? I’ll have someone look for her.” Zachary understood then.

Darren’s face was etched with worry. “If anything happens to my daughter, I swear to…”

He couldn’t bring himself to utter the harsh words that followed.

Nathaniel also said, “I’ll get Mason to send people to search. A woman with a child shouldn’t have been able to get too far.”

Darren nodded. “Okay.”

He knew she couldn’t get far, but with the sudden disappearance of the child and the woman, he was truly worried.

That day, Cecilia didn’t go to work. Instead, she went out for inspiration.

She hadn’t been composing much recently, and inspiration seemed to elude her. Not wanting to waste her talent, she decided to travel around, hoping it might stimulate some creativity.

The driver pulled up to a secluded area where signs of human life were scarce. After stepping out of the car, Cecilia strolled alone, taking in the vibrant spring scenery that surrounded her. Her mood significantly lifted as she soaked in the tranquil ambiance.

“Beautiful lady, why aren’t you wearing any shoes?”

The loud voice of the driver behind her caught Cecilia’s attention.

When Cecilia looked back, she saw a woman with long, jet–black hair draped over her shoulders. She was dressed in a simple white dress and was cradling a child in her arms.

The woman was walking barefoot on the highway, appearing quite flustered.

She ignored the driver and strode forward. After only a few steps, perhaps due to her weakness, she was on the brink of collapsing onto the ground.

Fortunately, she was close to Cecilia. With her quick reflexes, Cecilia managed to catch her in time. “Are you all right?” she asked.

The woman, aided by Cecilia, held her child tightly in her arms.

The child might have been hungry and started crying loudly.

“Don’t cry… Don’t cry…”

The woman clearly had little experience in soothing children, leaving her somewhat at a loss. No matter what she tried, she couldn’t seem to comfort the child.

Upon seeing the situation, Cecilia couldn’t help but ask, “Is she hungry? Do you want to feed her?”

The woman hesitated for a moment before looking up at Cecilia. Seeing that she didn’t seem like a bad person, she finally said, “She has always been drinking formula milk.”

The woman had a pair of beautiful eyes reminiscent of a clear spring nestled within the mountains. However, her lips were somewhat chapped, and her voice had a slight rasp when she spoke.
