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.”

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…”
