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

Chapter 454

So, he cut the meeting short and rushed back.

Lemira tilted her head, pressing her face against his palm. "Did I ever cry this hard before?" She couldn't recall ever having cried like this.

Orion pursed his lips, remembering. Yes, there was that time, during the accident years ago.

When he had pulled Lemira from the wreckage, she had cried just like this, heartbreakingly, because he wouldn't let her near the burning car. She had even bitten him. But she had forgotten all about that.

His palm was slightly warm as his gaze locked onto her face with intensity.

As he leaned in closer, Lemira straightened up, clearing her throat. "You probably haven't had dinner yet, right? I'm a bit hungry."

"I could eat."

He took her hand, his look deep and meaningful.

Lemira glanced down at their intertwined fingers, asking subconsciously, "What are we to each other now?"

Orion brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "After you're discharged, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"That's a secret for now. If we're looking for a label, it needs to be done properly."

Lemira's gaze flickered. A label?

Did that mean defining their relationship?

Although their relationship had changed over the past few days, they hadn't discussed what they were to each other.

She hadn't expected Orion to be so thoughtful.

After sharing a meal, Lemira still hadn't told him about Evelina's father.

After all, it was just speculation at this point.

The next day, Debby brought the investigation results: "Ms. Langston, our people lost him. The man is highly cautious. And there's no trace of this middle-aged man, as if he doesn't exist." Lemira felt a slight disappointment. As if he doesn't exist, right?

According to the records, this man should have been dead.

Seeing Evelina's beaten face, Lemira couldn't help but speculate. Was Evelina looking for a way out?

After all these years, Evelina hadn't slipped up once.

Claiming to be an orphan, Evelina enjoyed the privileges of a Langston, living like a princess.

Given Evelina's vanity, she wouldn't seek out her father, the driver, unless she was desperate.
