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

Chapter 26 Reminisce The Past

Of course, Stella didn’t remember any of that.

However, she was very perceptive and had noticed Zachary’s unusual behavior today, as well as the way he kept looking at her arms when he first arrived.

Realizing what was going on, Stella pretended to reminisce with Zachary.

“Of course I remember. You were covered in blood, and it scared me to death. I still remember how I forced the car door open to pull you out of the car that was about to explode, and my arms were all cut up. You have no idea how terrifying the scars were after they healed. Thankfully, I had surgery later, and they faded.”

Stella was well aware of the details about the injuries on the arm.

She had seen Cecilia that day and later asked her about it.

In the past, Zachary would have believed Stella without hesitation, but now he was full of doubt.

The girl who saved him back then repeatedly told him, “You must be strong.”

It wasn’t “don’t be afraid.””

He remembered those words clearly, even now.

After finishing the meal and before leaving, Zachary gave Stella a deep look, filled with meaning. He said, “Stella, after all this time, you should know my temperament well. The one thing I hate most is being lied to.”

Watching Zachary leave ahead of her, Stella felt a bit fearful.

But then she reminded herself that Cecilia was already dead.

With no one left to testify, what could Zachary discover? And even if he did, she could just deny it.
