When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 19 She Is Pregnant.

Outside the window, the wind howled violently. Cecilia placed her pale, slender hand on her lower abdomen, her gaze vacant.

Calvin had told her that the doctor had discovered she was pregnant.

This child couldn’t have come at a worse time.

Martha looked at Cecilia, whose eyes were hollow, devoid of any will to live. She hardened her heart.

“Ceci.”

Cecilia took a long time to come back to her senses and slowly turned to look at Martha. “Martha.”

Martha’s eyes were red. Her old, wrinkled hand gently brushed a few stray hairs away from Cecilia’s temple. “Ceci, I don’t have any children of my own. I’ve always treated you like my own daughter. I don’t wish for you to be rich or powerful, only for you to live healthily. If my only daughter wants to die, how could a mother possibly go on living?”

Cecilia’s eyes narrowed as she watched Martha pick up a fruit knife.

“I’ve cared for you until you were ten years old. After that, I couldn’t be with you, and that was my fault. Now, I’ll go apologize to Mr. Smith…”

With that, Martha started to slice her wrist with the knife.

Cecilia was startled. She used all her strength to stop her, but in her current state, she couldn’t even get up. She was at a loss for words. “Martha, don’t…”

Martha didn’t stop.
