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

Chapter 1870

Chapter 1870 It Was Nicholas

When Jocelyn returned to the hospital, she hadn't even stepped inside the room when she overheard voices coming from within.

She hadn't meant to eavesdrop, but the moment she heard Nicholas's name, her footsteps froze.

"Is Nicholas trying to get revenge for his brother?" a man's voice asked.

"No way. Nicholas and Nathaniel can't stand each other," Yannick's voice answered bitterly. "I didn't see this coming at all. Never thought I'd be dealing with such a calculating bastard who'd actually send someone to run me down."

Jocelyn stood frozen in the corridor, stunned.

Nicholas? He arranged for someone to hit Yannick with a car? But why?

"That's all we can do for now. I've got to head back. If anything else comes up, keep me posted." The man speaking to Yannick sounded like a close friend.

Upon hearing him prepare to leave, Jocelyn instinctively ducked into a nearby corner, staying hidden until his footsteps faded.
