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

Chapter 1825 The Surgery Will Proceed As Planned

Nathaniel didn't know how to respond, nor was it easy for him to do so.

Before he could speak, Cecilia continued, "Ignore me. I was just asking nonsense."

She gave a bitter smile. "Do you know? In truth, I'm not afraid of death at all. However, what I fear, what truly scares me, is the thought of people I care about leaving me."

First, it was her father, then it was Martha, and at that moment, it was her mother, whose health was deteriorating.

Many of Cecilia's dreams involved the appearance of the already deceased. Whenever she woke up, her face would be stained with tears.

Nathaniel gently embraced her.

"Don't overthink it. We'll all part ways, eventually. However, one day, we'll all reunite in the same place."

Cecilia's voice turned hoarse. "Really?"

"Yes." The Nathaniel of the past would never have uttered such words, yet he did at that moment, and he didn't know why.

He was used to life and death, believing them to be of little significance. However, seeing Cecilia heartbroken, he was unable to remain indifferent.

There were others around, and Cecilia didn't want to be seen. She extricated herself from Nathaniel's embrace and pretended as if nothing had happened. "You're right. I shouldn't be this upset. After all, we're all going to die someday."
