When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1137 Take Me Along

Nathaniel emerged from the treatment room, his vision now fully restored.

“Nathaniel, how are you feeling?” Darren immediately asked soon as he saw him come out.

“I’m feeling much better now,” Nathaniel replied.

Zachary and the doctor also stepped out. “We’ve just performed a cranial CT scan on Nathaniel. He’s recovering well after surgery. There shouldn’t be any residual effects.”

“That’s good, then,” Darren said. “Nicholas has been searching for Nathaniel recently. I think he has traced it back to me. I’m not sure what he’s planning to do,”

Zachary scoffed, “Now that Nathaniel is all better, what can he possibly do?”

Previously, Nathaniel was blind and had lost his memory, which allowed Nicholas to take his place.

However, everything was now well with Nathaniel, so it was time for Nicholas to return what belonged to him.

Nathaniel’s gaze deepened. “I’ll go see him tomorrow.”

“Nathaniel, are you heading to Orion Corporation?” Zachary asked, filled with anticipation.

Ever since Nicholas took over Orion Corporation, Zachary’s position as a nominal manager was also revoked.

Nathaniel gazed out of the window. “Nicholas has always believed that I stole his rightful place. He feels that if it wasn’t for me hogging all the nutrients in our mother’s womb, causing his frail health at birth, he would have surpassed me. I gave him an opportunity by handing over Orion Corporation to him. My plan is to use Imminence Corporation to crush Orion Corporation to prove whether he truly surpasses me.”

Nicholas had always been the type to learn things the hard way.

After hearing this, Zachary felt that the strategy was indeed plausible. It was enough to dampen Nicholas fervor.

“But he was after your life before. Are we just going to let that slide?” Zachary felt a lingering fear.

If Nathaniel hadn’t been in the midst of recovering and relied on his instinct for self–preservation and ability to play dumb, he might not have survived.

“We’ll take our time and deal with him later!”

Naturally, Nathaniel would get rid of his brother who wished for his demise.

However, his thoughts drifted back to Cecilia. So much time had passed, yet there was still no response.

“I need to step out for a bit tonight”

“Where are you going?” Zachary was like a curious little baby, always asking questions about everything.

Upon receiving a glance from Nathaniel, he immediately shut his mouth.

“That’s odd. Where is he?” Zachary wondered.

“Just forget it.”

Darren didn’t want to waste time.

Given that the Smith residence was heavily guarded by bodyguards all around, it was quite difficult for Darren to sneak in to see Madeline and Amelia.

He could only observe the situation from a distance. Although he couldn’t see clearly, it was enough to give him a sense of reassurance.

He looked on for a very long time.

Zachary was worn out. Seeing that Darren refused to leave, he had no choice but to call for a ride home.

He vowed to himself that he would never let his curiosity lead him to follow these two men again. It was truly dull.

In the Smith residence, Cecilia had already laid down to sleep, lightly dozing off, when suddenly, she found herself being pulled into someone’s embrace.

Immediately, she opened her eyes and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp. Following that, she saw the magnified handsome face of Nathaniel.

“Am I dreaming? How did you get in?”

Naturally, Nathaniel wouldn’t admit that he had scaled the wall to get in and nearly got caught by Sven and the bodyguards.

“How many bodyguards did you ask Sven to hire?” he asked, his voice hoarse.

Originally, this area was filled with his people, but now, there were others present as well.

“Not many, about ten or so here,” replied Cecilia. “Is there a problem?”

“No, you did very well.”

Nathaniel realized it was great for Cecilia to have someone reliable in her life. However, a hint of disappointment lingered in his heart, fearing that she would need him less and less as time went on.

He held her tightly in his arms.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Cecilia struggled a bit and said, “You’re squishing my stomach.”

Only then did Nathaniel relax a bit, noticing that Cecilia’s belly was now noticeably swollen.

“What brings you here?” Cecilia asked again.

Nathaniel felt a bit awkward to admit that he was upset because Cecilia didn’t reply to his messages. Instead, he changed the subject. “Do you know that Nicholas is getting married?”

Despite her seemingly casual words, Nathaniel remained unconvinced.

He looked away and said, “I just felt like it had been a long time since I last saw you, so I came to visit.”

Cecilia felt that the current Nathaniel was acting a bit peculiar.

“Once you’re feeling better, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet. There’s no rush.”

“Yeah.”

“All right, time for bed.” Cecilia closed her eyes.

Nathaniel found himself gazing at her sleeping face, unable to resist reaching out to her.

Cecilia shook her head. “Stop messing around. I just want to get some good sleep.

This was a rejection.

For the first time. Nathaniel felt a twinge of fear. He also began to doubt his own charm, worrying that Nicholas might steal Cecilia away from him.

Unaware of all these, Cecilia quickly fell asleep.

The next morning came, and it was still before dawn.

Cecilia’s phone started ringing even before she had woken up.

Nathaniel took a glance at the phone. It was a call from Nicholas.

He furrowed his brows, abruptly ending the call.

Blinking groggily, Cecilia asked. “Who is it?”

“It’s just some spam call,”

“Oh.

“Get some more rest. I’m leaving first,” Nathaniel said in a hushed tone.

In a daze, Cecilia nodded. “Okay.”

Before he left, Nathaniel made sure to erase the call history.

Nicholas stared at the disconnected call.

“Hasn’t Ms. Smith been here lately?” he asked the butler.

“She hasn’t

Nicholas speculated that Nathaniel was all right; otherwise, there was no way Cecilia could have remained so calm.

Elena had also come to know about Nathaniel’s disappearance and was currently staying in the manor. “What do you mean? Do you think Ceci took Nathaniel away?”

“Mons. I was just asking Nicholas explained incagemvoice
