When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1069 The Crazy Nathaniel

“I’m relieved to hear that,” said Niel, his face breaking into a kind smile. “When you meet Nathaniel later. don’t be scared. You must take good care of him.”

Jessica nodded seriously. “Don’t worry, Grandpa Niel

The vehicle started up, heading toward the manor.

Nicholas had been waiting there, fearing any mishaps.

He hadn’t expected Jessica to be willing to care for Nathaniel in his current condition.

Once the car arrived, Jessica helped Niel out of the vehicle.

“Nicholas, I’ve brought Jessica here. Come, let’s go see Nathaniel together.”

“Okay” Nicholas led the way.

Jessica found it odd, wondering why Nathaniel moved to such a secluded corner in the manor.

She didn’t ask any questions. Instead, she quietly followed Niel into the room.

At that time, Nathaniel was still asleep.

Outside the room, a group of housekeepers were busy cleaning up the items he had thrashed the day before and arranging the furniture.

“Has Mr. Nathaniel awakened?” Nicholas asked one of the housekeepers.

The housekeeper shook her head. “He woke up for a bit this morning, but now he’s gone back to sleep.”

Nicholas ascended the stairs, pushing open the door to find the room already tidied up.

Nathaniel lay sprawled across the large bed, a blanket draped over him. His disheveled hair and grimy skin made it obvious he hadn’t showered the day before. He wasn’t just any ordinary madman now–he had become dangerously violent. Even the servants were too afraid to go near him.

Jessica glanced at Nathaniel from behind Nicholas, but she didn’t notice anything unusual.

“Is Nathaniel too tired?” she asked.

Nicholas recalled Nathaniel’s rowdy, aggressive behavior from the day before, along with his recent surgery. It made sense that he needed sleep. “I think so.”

“Nicholas, you and Grandpa Niel should head back. I’ll take it from here,” Jessica said, eager to stay by Nathaniel’s side. All she wanted was to have him to herself.

“All right then. We’re leaving him to you,” said Niel.

“No trouble at all.”

Jessica escorted the duo to the door.

Left in charge of the manor, Jessica now felt like the young mistress of the house, delighted and smug.

“Why is Nathaniel so filthy? How have you been caring for him?” she scolded the housekeepers.

One of the housekeepers lowered her gaze and replied “Mr. Nathaniel has forbidden us from going near him.”

Jessica frowned. “It’s clear that you all are intentionally picking on him because he’s blind. It’s a good thing I arrived. With me here, no one can bully him. Get out all of you.”

The housekeepers dared not voice their frustration and grievances. They cautiously made their exit.

After they left. Jessica lifted the blanket that was covering Nathaniel, only to be met with a stench.

“How many days has it been since you last took a shower?” she muttered to herself, frowning.

Nathaniel had always been the neatest man in her eyes. She wondered how he ended up like this. Has he given up on himself?

Her heart ached for Nathaniel as she reached out to remove his clothes. “So what if you’re divorced from Cecilia? You still have me, and I’m no less than Cecilia.

As Jessica spoke, she unfastened the first button of Nathaniel’s shirt.

But in the next moment, Nathaniel opened his eyes and harshly pushed her away.

Jessica, who hadn’t fully recovered, fell to the ground and cried out in pain.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Get lost! Don’t come any closer, you bad woman!” Nathaniel exclaimed.

Jessica was taken aback. Clutching her shoulder, she said, “What are you saying, Nathaniel? What’s wrong with you?”

The next moment, Nathaniel picked up a book from the bedside table and hurled it in Jessica’s direction.

“Ouch!”

Cries of pain echoed from within the room.

The housekeepers outside couldn’t help chuckling.
