When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1062 A Tale Of Two Couples

After Nathaniel was taken away, Zachary and Mason frantically searched for him, but they couldn’t find that madman Nicholas at all.

The crux of the matter was that both individuals had sustained serious injuries, and they had no choice but to instruct their subordinates to find help.

“If anything happens to Nathaniel, I’ll never forgive myself.” Zachary was particularly self–reproachful, wondering why he hadn’t been more ‘cautious.

He had taken the situation too lightly.

Mason was slightly more composed than him. “Mr. Sinclair, so far, there hasn’t been any bad news about Mr. Rainsworth. I reckon he’s probably okay.”

“Why do you think so?” Zachary asked.

“If I were Nicholas and wanted Mr. Rainsworth dead, I’d certainly frame us. I wouldn’t drag things out for too long. Mason explained.

Both of them were in pain all over, making even the simplest conversation a struggle.

Thus, after chatting for a bit, they took another break.

Ironically, Mason’s phone kept ringing. He saw it was Lucille calling, but he dared not answer the phone, afraid that Lucille would worry if she found out about his injury.

Zachary opened his eyes again and complained, “It’s driving me mad. Just answer the phone already.”

If it weren’t for the fact that they had both lost track of Nathaniel and found themselves in the same predicament, he wouldn’t have willingly shared a room with Mason.

Mason had his subordinate bring the phone to his ear.

“Lucy”

“Why did it take you so long to answer the phone? What have you been up to lately? You don’t text, you don’t call; are you seeing someone else?” Lucille asked, clearly annoyed.

Mason quickly clarified, “How could that be? I’ve been working overtime recently and haven’t had the time. But give me a few days, and I’ll come to see you every day.”

“Hmph.”

After–feigning anger, Lucille turned serious again. “So, how is Nathaniel doing now? Ceci seems distracted all the time; I think it has something to do with him.”

Mason really wanted to tell her the truth, but even he himself wasn’t sure about Nathaniel’s condition at that moment.

“Lucy, don’t interfere in this matter. In time, you’ll understand why.”

“Fine. Have you missed me lately?” Lucille asked playfully.

“Of course. I’ve been missing you terribly,” replied Mason.

Zachary, who was on a sickbed nearby, furrowed his brows even more deeply.

Darn it, why do I have to stick around and play the third wheel?

And then there was the infuriating Vivian. Despite being his fiancée, she didn’t seem to care about him and give him a call.

Zachary’s mind was in turmoil, but he reminded himself that Nathaniel’s life was at stake.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

If it weren’t for his concern about losing face, he would have called his grandfather and headed to Rainsworth Manor to settle the matter a long time ago

Once he had recovered, Zachary was determined to teach Nicholas a lesson.

I’ll make him beg for mercy on his knees!

Finally, Mason’s long phone call ended, allowing both men to catch some sleep.

The following day, Cecilia went to work as usual.

Upon arriving at the company, she noticed that Miranda’s expression was rather sour.

Last week’s performance had placed Cecilia’s sales team firmly in first place.

Miranda hadn’t anticipated Cecilia to secure a major deal with the Seiler family. She also remembered Meredith.

As fellow mothers, Miranda deliberately tried to pull Meredith into her own camp, but the latter flatly rejected her.

Surprisingly, they had even started collaborating with Cecilia.

Miranda was frustrated, yet she felt helpless.

“Cecilia, it hasn’t been that long since your mom passed away, and you still have the mood to work?” Miranda was unaware that Paula wasn’t Cecilia’s biological mother.

Cecilia glanced at her, then retorted, “After your parents pass away, are you planning to follow them?”

Miranda choked and asked, “What did you say?”

“That’s just how I talk. If you can’t stand it, feel free to stop chatting with me.”

Jocelyn approached them mid–argument.

“Ms. Smith, Mr. Rainsworth is looking for you.”
