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

Chapter 707 More Important

Cecilia was not deeply asleep, and her breath hitched slightly when she was kissed like that. Just like that, she was awake.

Her eyelids were fighting to stay open. She raised her hand and lightly tapped Nathaniel. “What are you doing?”

Nathaniel’s chest burned when she did that. His voice was hoarse when he asked, “When do you plan on coming back?”

Cecilia was half–asleep, her mind not yet fully awake. In a daze, she responded, “I don’t know. I have no idea how severe his injuries are. If they are too serious, I’ll surely need to stay for a longer period of time.”

Nathaniel’s brows furrowed, his eyes growing a touch colder. “Is he that important to you?”

Cecilia was tired, thinking how boring it was for him to ask such things at a time like this. “Of course. We grew up together since childhood. Six years ago, had it not been for him, I would have died. He and Martha saved my life. If anything happens to him, I’ll definitely hold you…”

The words that were to follow, Cecilia chose not to continue.

Nathaniel’s heart clenched tightly. “What do you expect me to do? Sacrifice my life for him?”

“Taking a life always requires paying with one’s own,” Cecilia murmured.

Nathaniel broke his silence. “If both he and I were injured, who would you save first?”

After he asked a few questions, Cecilia was fully awake. Glancing at the wall clock, she saw it was. already eleven o’clock. “Are you not bored?”
