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

Chapter 865

Chapter 865 Scheming Jessica

Cecilia couldn’t dodge in time, so she immediately stepped back.

Yet, the pain she was waiting for never came. Instead, she found herself enveloped in the embrace of a tall figure.

Somehow, Nathaniel managed to dart toward her, throwing himself in front of Cecilia without a second thought for his own safety. Though he couldn’t see, he relied on her voice from earlier to gauge her position. Thankfully, he wasn’t, wrong. Uncertain of the snake’s exact location, he used his entire body to shield her from harm.

Cecilia, protected in his arms, was in disbelief.

The snake didn’t strike Cecilia, as Sven, in a swift move, kicked Jessica–who had been clinging to him- straight in the snake’s direction.

Jessica flew through the air and hit the ground hard, narrowly missing the snake.
