When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1864 Just As Shocked

Yuliana was standing not too far from Nathaniel when she spotted Cecilia. In her urgency, she ran toward Cecilia.

"Cecilia, Cassandra didn't do or say anything to you, did she?"

Observing Yuliana's frantic demeanor, Cecilia was still a little confused.

However, she didn't inquire, nor did he bring up the earlier conversation.

"No, she just pleaded for me to spare her," said Cecilia.

Yuliana is a relative of mine, and she has been nearly hurt by Cassandra. Now, even if she has sought revenge on Cassandra, it was nothing less than what the latter deserves.

Cecilia wouldn't suddenly turn sympathetic toward Cassandra over just a few words and blame Yuliana for seeking vengeance.

Finally, Yuliana breathed a sigh of relief. Her concern was that Cecilia might view her as being nosy and ruthless for unilaterally hurting Cassandra.

"It's good that you're okay, but you should probably avoid coming here to see her in the future. People like her, you never know what kind of ill intentions they might harbor."

Cecilia nodded. "Yes, I understand. Don't worry. She won't be able to harm me."

After she finished speaking, she added, "It's working hours right now. You should probably head back."

Yuliana's face turned a shade of red as she nervously scratched her head.

"Alright, I'll head back now. I guess I have skived for half a day now."

She chuckled as she climbed back into the car, instructing the driver to head back to the office.

Once she left, Nathaniel approached and asked Cecilia, "What did Cassandra say to you?"

Yuliana was relatively naive, failing to notice that Cecilia was hiding something. Unlike her, Nathaniel knew that Cecilia wasn't telling the truth.

The latter briefly explained to him about what Nicholas had done.

"I truly hadn't expected that he would do something like this."

How could any sane person treat their suitor in such a way? Besides, they were both engaged at the time. Wouldn't that be like cheating on oneself?

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel was momentarily taken aback, but he was not overly shocked.

"Nicholas isn't as simple as he appears to be," he remarked, a reminder he had given Cecilia several times before.

However, one had to admit that Nicholas' performance in front of his beloved was impeccable, leaving no room for any suspicion.

"Right, I'm sorry about before for not you," said Cecilia.

Nathaniel tightly held her hand. "It's all in the past now."

"Mmm-hmm." Cecilia nodded. "Let's head back."

"Alright."

Once she was in the car, Cecilia rested her head on Nathaniel's shoulder, drifting off into a light sleep.

After she fell asleep, she had a dream. In it, she saw the young Nicholas from her childhood.

Back then, Nicholas stood in the sunlight. Pure and immaculate, he looked like an angel.

However, as the dream changed, the sky turned gloomy. The radiance that once surrounded Nicholas was replaced by darkness, transforming his entire persona into something quite horrifying.

The ring of a phone call jolted Cecilia from the throes of her nightmare.

Upon checking, she realized it was Meredith who had called.

"What is it, Meredith?"

"Could you possibly lend me a hand?" Meredith asked, a hint of embarrassment in her voice.

"What do you need? Tell me."

Meredith hesitated for a moment

before speaking. "I went to see ut he said he'd prefer to

this matter with you."noveldrama

Cecilia fell silent.

Across from line, Meredith immediately added, "If it's not possible, then forget it.

I'll find another way."

Upon regaining her senses, Cecilia thought of the innocent Dahlia and then of Meredith, who would never be able to have her own children. She hesitated for a good while before he spoke.

"Alright, I'll go talk to him."
