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

Chapter 1271 An Act

Upon hearing that, Cecilia immediately panicked. “Let’s go. We need to get to the hospital.”

Yet, Elliot seized her hand and said, “I don’t want to go to the hospital. I want to see Daddy. Where is Daddy?”

Upon seeing the way Elliot was acting, Cecilia knew he was faking illness, so she pulled away his hand.

“Elliot, do you even realize what you’re doing right now?” she asked.

Elliot noticed that Cecilia was angry. He squatted where he stood, his face paling. “Mommy…”

“If you want to see your daddy, I can arrange for someone to take you to him,” Cecilia said again.

She hadn’t expected that after raising two kids on her own, her younger child, Elliot, would become so fond of Nathaniel. To her surprise, Elliot even tried to feign illness to win her sympathy.

Upon seeing Cecilia’s anger, Elliot immediately dropped his act of pretending to be sick. He stood up, reaching out to Cecilia. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Please don’t be mad. I don’t want to go to Daddy’s.”

He preferred Cecilia over Nathaniel.
