When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1068 Mason And Nathaniel Are Keeping Secrets

“You were aware of the risks involved with the surgery from the start, weren’t you? Cecilia asked persistently.

Mason remained silent for a moment before replying, “Every surgery carries risks. You’re no longer connected to Mr. Rainsworth after the divorce, so I’m not obligated to answer all your questions.”

He had assured Nathaniel that if the surgery failed, he would keep the truth from Cecilia to spare her any additional worry.

Cecilia was about to ask something else, but Mason interrupted him, “Lucy is kind–hearted and always ready to help others. But you can’t make all sorts of demands on her just because you’re her landlord now.”

He added before ending the call. “Please don’t let Lucy contact me again!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After he put it that way, he was sure Cecilia wouldn’t contact him again, and he no longer needed to explain.

Cecilia’s hand drooped, her gaze filled with dejection.

Noticing the look on her face, Lucille couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on? What did you need from him? Is he hiding something? Do you want me to ask for you?”

Cecilia shook her head. “No need. I’ve pretty much asked everything I wanted to, I’m good now.”

“Okay then.”

After expressing her gratitude to Lucille, Cecilia took her leave.

Mason and Nathaniel were clearly keeping something from her. Cecilia was even more sure of that now.

She planned to find an opportunity the next day to visit Nathaniel again. Regardless of whether he had truly lost his senses or not, she was determined to figure it out.

The next day, Jessica was dressed to the nines.

She waited at the office for the Rainsworth family’s car to come pick her up.

Cecilia had also arrived early that day, busy with her work.

Jessica intentionally approached her. “Cecilia.”

Without even lifting her gaze, Cecilia asked, “Ms. Quill is there something you need?”

“Do you know where I’m going today?” asked Jessica.

Cecilia couldn’t be bothered about that. “I don’t know.

“Grandpa Niel agreed to let me take care of Nathaniel, Jessica stated, enunciating each word with clarity. “He even said that after a month, he would allow Nathaniel to marry me.”

Cecilia looked up at Jessica, her eyes filled with puzzlement instead of shock.

Jessica take care of him for a month and get married to him.

How is Nathaniel supposed to marry Jessica in his current state?

She wasn’t surprised, as this was typical of Niel, who always prioritized benefits.

“Congratulations to you then.”

Jessica was taken aback by how calm Cecilia was.

“Are you putting on a brave front?” Jessica scrutinized Cecilia, “If you’re upset or angry, just say it. There’s no need to put on such a noble front. Don’t bottle up your feelings.”

Cecilia felt that Jessica should worry about herself.

After all, the servants who took care of Nathaniel last night were all left in a sorry state

“I hope you’ll come back in one piece,” Cecilia added.

“I know you’re being sarcastic. But rest assured. I will be just fine.”

Miranda came over and knocked on the door. “Jessica, Grandpa has come to pick you up.”

“Understood, I’ll be there right away.”

Jessica strutted out smugly.

Miranda was taken aback as well. Why would Grandpa personally come to pick up Jessica? Knowing his personality, he wasn’t likely to take such a liking to her.

However, she could only ponder these thoughts to herself; it would be inappropriate to ask outright.

After settling into the luxury car and closing the door, Jessica wore an ingratiating smile as she greeted Niel, “Grandpa Niel.”

Niel nodded. “Jessica, I’ve watched you grow up. I’ve heard that you’re quite fond of Nathaniel, is that right?”

Jessica shyly nodded.

“Since that’s the case, you surely wouldn’t care about his ph

immediately pledged, “No matter what state Nathaniel’s in, I will love him and take good care of him.”
