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

Sven continued to relay all the findings from his investigation to Cecilia. The most puzzling thing to him was the identity of the person who had been helping him with the investigation.

“If I uncover anything new, I’ll let you know immediately,” Sven promised.
