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

Chapter 1968 Job Hunting

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Magnus's body had mostly recovered, and Denise's sympathy had run its course. At seven o'clock sharp, she stood by his makeshift bed and nudged him.

"Get up. Time to look for a job."

Magnus groaned, burying his face in the blanket. "What's the rush? Let me sleep a little longer."

Annoyed at the sight of him still lounging around, Denise said nothing. She simply bent down, grabbed the blanket, and yanked it off with one swift pull.

A wave of cold air hit him, and Magnus curled up instinctively, shooting her a glare. "What was that for?"

"Get up, or I'll splash you with water." She turned and headed to the bathroom without waiting for a reply. Moments later, she reappeared, holding a basin of water and standing squarely in front of him.

Seeing she wasn't bluffing, Magnus scrambled to his feet. "Okay, okay! I'm up!"

Seeing him finally get up, Denise set the basin down. "Good. Get yourself together and find a job. It's time you start paying me back,” she said, then turned to get ready for her own day.

Magnus didn't want to rely on a woman forever. He had dreams of his own, ambitions waiting to be fulfilled.
