When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1067 Swayed In Her Favor

Niel didn’t find Miranda’s words strange.

“Who has he taken a fancy to?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Jessica, of course. You might not know this, but when Nathaniel and Cecilia got divorced. Jessica was also dragged into the mess,” said Miranda.

Niel hadn’t anticipated that Nathaniel and Jessica would take a liking to each other.

The Quill family was no longer at its heyday but had already fallen into decline.

Jessica’s parents had passed away long ago. Without a respectable family background, she was, in truth, somewhat unworthy of Nathaniel.

Grandpa, you watched Jessica grow up. She’s not only beautiful but also kind–hearted, sensible, and respectful. Now that Nathaniel is visually impaired, having her look after him would give us peace of mind

Naturally, Miranda had her own plans.

Jessica doesn’t have any power or influence and seems easy to manipulate. After she has married Nathaniel, Adrian and I no longer need to tread lightly with the man and can focus solely on dealing with Nicholas and Cassandra.

Upon hearing that, Niel was somewhat swayed in her favor.

Now, Nathaniel is blind and has become a fool. He indeed needs a woman to take care of him, especially one who loves him. I know Jessica inside out. She probably won’t treat him poorly.

“You have a point.” Niel drummed his fingers against the armrest of his chair. “It’s just that there’s something you need to tell Jessica.”

“What is it?”

“Right now, Nathaniel isn’t in the best of health. I’m not certain if she’d be willing to take care of him.”

“There’s no need to even ask that. She’d definitely be willing to do so,” Miranda asserted confidently.

At her assurance, Niel could finally rest easy. “Alright, then. Have her come over tomorrow. She can take care of Nathaniel for a month first. After that, I’ll make arrangements for her to marry Nathaniel.”

“Okay.”

Miranda left with a smile, forgetting to pursue the matter of what had just transpired earlier.

As soon as she left the house, she shared the good news with Jessica.

Overjoyed, Jessica wished nothing more than to immediately rush over to take care of Nathaniel.

At the Smith residence, Cecilia couldn’t sleep at all that day..

She tried calling Mason, but no one picked up on the other end. She reckoned that he might have blocked her.

Il’hy didn’t Mason tell me anything when something so serious happened to Nathaniel?

Left with no other choice, she sought Lucille out. “Lucy, could you help me contact Mason?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Sure.” Without a word, Lucille made a call to Mason.

But still, no one picked up on the other end.

“What on earth is going on? Why isn’t he answering the phone?” Lucille was also panicked, but she still tried to reassure Cecilia, saying, “Don’t worry, Ceci. He might be busy with something and had gone out. When he gets back, he’ll undoubtedly return my call. Let’s wait together.”

“Okay.” Cecilia nodded.

angal

Sure enough, Lucille’s phone rang a little half an hour later.

“I’m sorry. Sweetie. I went out to take care of something earlier and didn’t bring my phone with me,” Mason explained.

He left for Rainsworth Manor in a hurry just now, forgetting to bring his phone with him.

“Ceci has been looking for you and is worried sick. I’ll let you talk to her.”

Lucille handed her phone to Cecilia.

Mason had also noticed the missed call from Cecilia but decided to return Lucille’s call first since she was his fiancée, hence his priority.

“Mr. Sanders, what exactly happened to Nathaniel? Why did he… lose his mind?” asked Cecilia.

Upon hearing her question, Mason knew that she had already learned of the matter.

In the first place, such a matter couldn’t be kept secret for long. Nathaniel did so to be able to get a divorce with Cecilia as quickly as possible to prevent her from being picked on because of him or getting caught up in his troubles.

“Mr. Rainsworth had a surgery, but it unfortunately went awry, Mrs. Rainsworth,” replied Mason.
