Chapter 107 Asking For Help
By the time Cecilia came back to her senses, the person on the ground had already fallen silent.
She quickly leaned in, touching his forehead, which felt even hotter than before.
She stood up to fetch the first aid kit.
It was still in its original place, but all the medications inside had expired. Nathaniel hadn’t asked anyone to restock it.
Cecilia had no choice but to grab some ice cubes from the fridge. She wrapped them in a cloth. and used it to cool him down.
Subsequently, she ordered some medicine online to be delivered.
When she first tried to feed Nathaniel the medicine, he simply refused to open his mouth. Left with no other choice, Cecilia had to add some honey to the medicine before she could barely manage to get him to take it
No one would have guessed that the legendary Nathaniel actually had a sweet tooth.
Initially, Cecilia wanted to move him back onto the couch, but he was simply too heavy and she wasn’t strong enough. Thus, she had no choice but to let him lie on the floor.
She slightly lowered the temperature of the air conditioning in the room and draped a thin blanket over him.
In the end, she too was worn out and succumbed to sleeping on the couch.
As the rays of the setting sun fell upon his face, Nathaniel finally managed to open his heavy eyelids, only to find himself lying on the floor.
He raised his hand to rub his head, and as he got up, he saw Cecilia fast asleep on the couch. nearby.
He froze for a moment, glancing at the blanket draped over him, the damp towel set aside, and the pile of medicine nearby.
Nathaniel gently lifted the blanket, but as he rose, a wave of dizziness washed over him.
Since when did I fall terribly sick?
“You’re finally awake.” At the sound of his movements, Cecilia too woke up.
Seeing that Nathaniel had fully regained consciousness and was not seriously injured, Cecilia went straight to the point.
“Considering I took care of you today, please spare Vivian, okay? She did it all for me. I apologize to your girlfriend on her behalf. I’m sorry.”
Nathaniel had just awoken and was still somewhat groggy, unsure of what she meant.
She didn’t come here for the child?This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Who is Vivian?”
Cecilia explained, “My friend, Vivian Kennedy, was the one who exposed Stella’s plagiarism online. I apologize if it upset your girlfriend, Stella. But I’m asking you to show some mercy. As for the post, I’ll take it down.”
It was only then that Nathaniel remembered. Indeed, Stella had called earlier that day, asking for his help.
“If that’s not enough, I can issue a public apology.”
Seeing Nathaniel remain silent for a long while, Cecilia felt a lump form in her throat.
“I apologized not because I admit that it was slander but out of respect for your authority. If you choose not to show mercy, that’s fine, as long as your conscience is clear.”
After she finished speaking, she walked away, ready to devise another plan.
Nathaniel, fighting off a wave of dizziness, stepped forward and firmly gripped Cecilia’s wrist.
“When did I ever say I wouldn’t help you?”
Suddenly, Cecilia felt a strong bitterness in her throat as she looked up at him in silence.
Nathaniel felt like he was almost driven to his wit’s end by her.
“I didn’t realize that person is your friend. I’ll get in touch with the legal department.”
After he finished speaking, he tightened his grip on Cecilia’s hand. “Did you come here just for this matter?”
Cecilia was confused. Other than this, what else can it be?
If it hadn’t been for Vivian, she wouldn’t have come.
Nathaniel chuckled bitterly at himself. Just a moment ago, he had wondered if Cecilia was having a change of heart. Perhaps after learning about the child and seeing him sick, she had come to take care of him.
Unexpectedly, it was all for someone else.
When he stared at Cecilia intently, she felt utterly uncomfortable.
“Could you please get in touch with the legal department as soon as possible? I’ll be heading back now.”
She withdrew her hand, ready to take her leave.
Filled with disbelief, Nathaniel asked, “Is this really how you ask for someone’s help?”
