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

Chapter 98 Exceptionally Exhausted

In the end, Cecilia had no choice but to give up for the time being

Perhaps due to the prolonged struggle, she was exceptionally exhausted and eventually succumbed to sleep.

The following day, sunlight landed on their faces.
