When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1099 I Almost Died

After hearing this, Elena was quite pleased. “Sure, thank you.”

“No problem.” Jessica helped Elena up the stairs in an attempt to please her.

Upon reaching upstairs, Jessica observed Nathaniel sitting by the window. Even though she was scared, she mustered up the courage.

She made up her mind and said, “Nathaniel, Aunt Elena is here. We’re here to take you home.”

Nathaniel gave no response. He simply turned his head to look out the window.

Elena was heartbroken to see her son like this.

“Can I go in now?” Elena asked.

Jessica felt a flutter of nervousness in her heart, but she managed to utter, “Yes.”

Elena stepped inside.

Jessica trailed behind her, her heart burning with anxiety. She desperately prayed that Nathaniel would behave himself.

Downstairs, Cecilia wasn’t particularly worried about Nathaniel losing his temper. In her experience with him, he was much like a child. As long as she treated him with care and affection without causing him any harm, things generally wouldn’t go awry.

Ten minutes later, a scream could be heard upstairs.

“Ah! Nathaniel, I’m your mother. You can’t do this to me! Jessica, Jessica, save me!”

With a furrowed brow, Cecilia disregarded her cumbersome body and swiftly ascended the stairs.

She saw Jessica, her hair in disarray, as she bolted from the room first.

“Aunt Elena, I’ll go call the bodyguard and doctor over

Engrossed in her own survival, Jessica had no time to worry about the fate of Nathaniel and Elena.

Cecilia arrived swiftly at the door, only to witness Nathaniel firmly gripping Elena’s throat.

Elena was his own mother, after all. If he were fully aware, knowing what he had done, he would undoubtedly be in great distress.

In the heat of the moment, Cecilia rushed forward, heedless of the danger. From behind, she wrapped her arms around Nathaniel.

Relax, Nathaniel. Let go of your hand. You’re a good boy. You need to behave. You mustn’t resort to violence. Cecilia tried to keep her voice calm.

Hearing her voice, Nathaniel felt as if he were under a spell, slowly relaxing his grip.

Elena breathed deeply, feeling alive again.

At the entrance, Jessica arrived with the bodyguards, only to witness this scene

Everyone couldn’t believe it. Just a couple of words from Cecilia, and Nathaniel had calmed down

Cecilia led Nathaniel by the hand, guiding him toward the bed. “It’s dark outside. Let’s Behave to wome good rest, and go to sleep, okay?”

She treated him as if she was placating a child.

Nathaniel quietly lay down.

Surprise filled Jessica’s eyes. I was just as gentle. What did do wrong?

Why wouldn’t Nathaniel listen to me?

Having caught her breath, Elena, being the intelligent woman she was, finally understood who truly cared for Nathaniel and who was merely pretending

“Ceci, you’re pregnant. Should we call the doctor?” Elena’s tone softened.

She reflected on the moment when Cecilia, disregarding her own safety, had embraced Na her. Her entire perception of Cecilia had changed since then.

to care-

She deeply regretted her misunderstandings toward Cecilia, as well as her past actions toward her.

Once Cecilia had settled Nathaniel, she turned her attention to Elena. “It’s all right now. Let him rest. We should step out.”

After all, the doctor couldn’t really provide much help. He would just administer a sedative to Nathaniel

Elena nodded in agreement.

“Okay.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

They went out to the living room.

Jessica was still eager to please Elena. “Aunt Elena, you must have been startled. Ive poured you some water.”

Elena was not someone to be trifled with.

She looked up at Jessica coldly. “Water? I almost died!
