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

Chapter 1099 I Almost Died

After hearing this, Elena was quite pleased. “Sure, thank you.”

“No problem.” Jessica helped Elena up the stairs in an attempt to please her.

Upon reaching upstairs, Jessica observed Nathaniel sitting by the window. Even though she was scared, she mustered up the courage.

She made up her mind and said, “Nathaniel, Aunt Elena is here. We’re here to take you home.”

Nathaniel gave no response. He simply turned his head to look out the window.

Elena was heartbroken to see her son like this.

“Can I go in now?” Elena asked.

Jessica felt a flutter of nervousness in her heart, but she managed to utter, “Yes.”

Elena stepped inside.

Jessica trailed behind her, her heart burning with anxiety. She desperately prayed that Nathaniel would behave himself.

Downstairs, Cecilia wasn’t particularly worried about Nathaniel losing his temper. In her experience with him, he was much like a child. As long as she treated him with care and affection without causing him any harm, things generally wouldn’t go awry.
