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

Chapter 30 Not A Big Deal

Zachary clasped his head in frustration and shouted.

The assistant beside him was confused. “Mr. Zachary, what’s wrong?”

Zachary snapped out of it and looked at him.

“Let me ask you something. If someone saved your life and you didn’t know it, and you treated her poorly in return, why wouldn’t she tell you that she saved you? After all, if she told you, you wouldn’t be against her!”

The assistant thought for a moment before replying, “It’s simple. First, maybe she thought I knew who saved me, but when I didn’t ask, she assumed I wasn’t the type to be grateful, so telling m wouldn’t make a difference. Second, maybe she didn’t think saving me was a big deal, so she didn’t feel the need to mention it.”

Saving someone isn’t a big deal, so it didn’t need to be mentioned…

Thinking back, Cecilia had never once brought up all she had done for Nathaniel and everyone around him.

So, she really didn’t care.

Zachary felt as though a sharp thorn was lodged in his throat, causing unbearable pain.

“Zach, you’re back.”

Stella stood up and walked toward him.
