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

Chapter 163 What Day It Is Today

Cecilia knew that resistance was futile, so she silently endured.

Nathaniel, leaning over her, issued a stern warning in her ear. “If you dare to meet him again, I’ll make sure neither of you have it easy!”

Suddenly, he halted, his hand brushing against something damp. It was only then that he noticed the specks of crimson on his fingertips.

He turned Cecilia around and discovered that blood was trickling down from behind her ear, spreading across her cheek.

Nathaniel quickly removed her hearing aid.

“Why is your ear bleeding again?”

Cecilia could no longer hear what he was saying.

She reckoned he probably uttered some hurtful words. It was better that they went unheard.

Nathaniel asked again, “Do you have any medicine with you?”

His answer was met with silence.

Nathaniel knew she couldn’t hear him, so he had no choice but to drive toward the hospital.

The doctor treated Cecilia, but for a while, she still couldn’t hear.

After the doctor left, an eerie silence filled the ward.

Nathaniel prepared a cup of warm water and mixed in some medicine before offering it to her. Seeing her lack of response, he took out his phone and typed a message for her to read.

It read: Drink the medicine!

Cecilia found herself reminiscing about a night over a decade ago as she watched the man. engrossed in a conversation with her over text messages on his phone.

She was teased by her classmates, which momentarily caused her to lose her hearing. When Nathaniel picked her up, he discovered that she couldn’t hear and communicated with her through his phone.
