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

Chapter 20 Rotten To The Core

Summer was often a time of torrential rain in the south.

In the days following her discharge from the hospital, Calvin frequently made time to visit Cecilia.

Due to the lingering aftereffects of the medication, Cecilia’s health had worsened compared to before.

However, her mental state had improved significantly. Even when she had no appetite, she would force herself to eat a little more.

After being held onto for so long, some people bring nothing but pain when brought up.

Or maybe she simply didn’t want to burden her friends with her negative energy.

When she was alone, Cecilia would often stare blankly at Nathaniel’s WhatsApp at profile picture.

She didn’t know how to broach the topic of divorce again.
