Chapter 179 An Accident
Calvin understood what Cecilia meant. “Get some rest. Leave this matter to me.
After saying that, he asked the doctor to come over and give Cecilia another check–up. Only after confirming that there were no issues did he say his goodbyes and leave.
By the time Nathaniel finished his urgent tasks, Calvin was no longer there.
Accompanying him was Zachary
The nurse was in the process of changing Cecilia’s bandages. Instead of entering, the two of them stood outside the hospital garden.
“How did the car accident happen? Have they found the culprit and the vehicle involved?” Zachary asked.
Nathaniel told him about Calvin finding the owner of the car first after he sent Cecilia to the hospital.
Zachary couldn’t help but be surprised. “This person has some skills. He managed to get ahead of you.”
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel suddenly asked, “What do you think about him? Is he better than me?”
He reflected on the fact that Cecilia had reached out to Calvin first.
Zachary was taken aback.
When he finally understood, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Nathaniel, how can he compare to you? No matter how capable he is, isn’t everything he has in this country still at your mercy?”
Nathaniel listened in silence, not deriving much joy from it.
A chilly breeze blew directly into his face, carrying with it a light drizzl
“You know, he was the first person Cecilia reached out to after the accident.”
Zachary was surprised. After a moment, he said, “Maybe he’s just good at charming people. Don’t all women like sweet talk? Besides, that guy has a sly look on his face.”
Nathaniel’s striking handsomeness resembled a rare cliffside flower–one to be admired from afar.
However, Calvin, equally handsome, exuded a playful charm.
Women generally found it hard to resist the allure of these young, charming men.
Zachary scoffed at the type of man that Calvin was. While he was good–looking, Zachary believed that it was all just a facade.
“It’s getting late. You should head home,” Nathaniel said solemnly.
Zachary was momentarily stunned. I just got here, and he’s already rushing to send me away?
“All right.”
Though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to leave.
Before he left, he couldn’t help but glance in the direction of Cecilia’s ward.
Nathaniel returned to the outside of the ward, deep in thought.
Cecilia’s bandage had been changed. She glanced toward the doorway and met his gaze.
There were some creases on his normally impeccable suit and a hint of stubble on his lower jaw.
Nathaniel had always valued cleanliness, yet this was the first time Cecilia had ever seen him in such a disheveled state.
Noticing Cecilia’s confusion, Nathaniel walked straight over to her.
“I had breakfast delivered here.”
He did not ask about Calvin. He glanced at the suit jacket she had placed aside, pulled out a chair, and sat down next to her.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
As he pulled out the chair, Cecilia saw the scar on the back of his hand.
“Your hand?”
Nathaniel has beautiful hands. How did they end up with so many scars?
“Just a minor injury,” Nathaniel said nonchalantly as he sat down.
Cecilia had not realized at all that the injury on his hand was from when he broke the window to rescue her.
“The doctor told me it was you who brought me to the hospital. Thank you.” Cecilia didn’t mention Calvin, fearing he might get angry,
Nathaniel’s expression softened considerably. “You’re my wife. It’s only right that I brought you to the hospital.”
“This crash…”
Before Nathaniel could finish his sentence, Cecilia immediately interjected, “It was an accident.”
She knew how much Nathaniel cared about Stella. If she were to tell him the truth, he would
Nathaniel gazed at her intently without questioning her words
After breakfast was delivered, the two of them ate together.
Nathaniel showed no signs of wanting to leave. Instead, he set up his office right there in the ward.
Cecilia had to stay in the hospital for observation.
At night, the outdoor landscape held an eerily captivating beauty.
After spending a long time reading, Cecilia noticed that Nathaniel hadn’t left yet and, overcome by fatigue, fell asleep..
In her slumber, she dreamed of Sean.
The man glared at her, clutching a long blade in his hand, and lunged at her throat.
“No!”
