When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 920 Apologize To Elliot

Elena was completely stunned that someone had actually dared to curse her grandson and called him a short–lived wr*tch.

The cousins present we’re all at a loss for words. They had only said that leukemia was incurable, but when had they ever called Elliot short–lived wr*tch?

Yet, Eli was particularly skilled at acting and promptly embraced Elena.

“Grandma Elena, am I not going to live much longer? I don’t want to die yet, Grandma Elena.”

Tears fell from his eyes as he spoke.

Had Cecilia not known the truth, she would have been deceived by Elliot as well.

At that moment, she vaguely realized that her younger son was quite clever.

“My dear Elliot, how could you possibly not live long? You will live a long, healthy life.” Elena bent down to wipe away Elliot’s tears, then turned her cold gaze toward the others present. “Who among you dared to curse my grandson? Speak up!”

At that moment, Cassandra desperately wished to find a place and hide.

The others were also afraid of Elena, each stuttering and stammering.

One bravely spoke up. “Aunt Elena, we didn’t call Eli a short–lived wr*tch.”

“What exactly did you tell him then?” Elena demanded loudly. “If none of you said it, how would a child even know of the word, short–lived wr*tch?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“We just said Leukemia isn’t an easy illness to treat,” another person whispered.

Cecilia interjected, “You just said it’s not easy to cure? Is that all?”

They had clearly stated that it was incurable.

In reality, regardless of whether Elliot’s illness was curable, they shouldn’t have spoken such harsh words in front of them as relatives.

Elliot’s sobs grew louder. “Grandma Elena, I don’t want to die,” he whimpered.

Elena was utterly heartbroken.

Pointing at the people present, she scolded, “Are you all still children? How thoughtless! Apologize to my grandson right now.”

The group of women had never seen Elena that angry before. Despite their reluctance, they found themselves apologizing to a four–year–old child.

“Eli, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say what I said.”

“I’m sorry, Eli.”

She had thought she didn’t need to apologize since she hadn’t said anything. However, unexpectedly, Elena demanded, “Cassandra, what are you waiting for Apologize to Eli.”

Cassandra was taken aback.

“Mom, I never said anything about Eli.”

Elena was no fool. She knew Cassandra had spent the day getting acquainted with the women. Since this incident had occurred, even a fool knew there was more to the story.

“Apologize to him now!”

At her firm demand, Cassandra had no choice but to apologize, “I’m sorry, Eli.”

The adults had apologized to Elliot, but he deliberately said, “All of you need to be more courteous in the future, okay?”

They reluctantly nodded in agreement.

“Understood.”

The incident passed just like that.

After Elena asked Cecilia why Jonathan hadn’t shown up, she led Elliot to play.

From a distance, Felix saw Elliot being led away, and he discreetly followed.

Meanwhile, Niel sat in his armchair in the study and demanded angrily, “The child in Cecilia’s belly isn’t a, Rainsworths. Why didn’t you tell me that?”

The look in Nathaniel’s eyes subtly shifted. His expression didn’t change, and he simply asked, “Did Jessica.. say that?”

He hadn’t expected Jessica to be so audacious. Despite his warnings to watch her words, she continued to spout nonsense.

Niel firmly slammed his cane on the ground.

“All I have to do is ask around a bit to find this out. Do I need someone to tell me? What exactly is going on? Speak up! Whose child is she carrying?”
