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

Chapter 2018 Facing Consequences

Cecilia thought that if Magnus truly changed, she could repay Regas for raising her.

If he refused to change, she would help him only once more.

After arranging everything, Cecilia closed her eyes to sleep, but a video call lit up the screen-it was Nathaniel.

She answered, and his handsome face filled the display.

Cecilia asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

Before Nathaniel could reply, a small face crowded into view. Elliot stared at her, eyes wide and pitiful.

"Mommy, are you moving into the hospital?"

"Of course, not," she coaxed. "I'm only staying there to keep your granny company. Once she's better, I'll come home."

Elliot was no toddler. He could tell she was lying.

"Mommy, please bring Granny home, okay?" he pleaded.

Cecilia felt a stab in her chest.
