When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1050 Vivian Is Hurt

Most of the people present mistook Nicholas for Nathaniel.

Instead of letting Cecilia go, they complained, “Ah, her husband’s here. Your timing is perfect. Please discipline Cecilia properly. Her mother passed away, and she’s not willing to wear the mourning attire.”

From a distance, Magnus spotted Nicholas approaching. He couldn’t be bothered about these relatives anymore, rushing over. “Guys, you misunderstood. This is Nathaniel’s twin brother, the CEO of Orion Corporation.”

With that, he shot discreet glances at the Escobars.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

The Escobars, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, suddenly adopted ingratiating smiles when they realized the man before them was the CEO of Orion Corporation.

“Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”

Afterward, they continued to make Cecilia kneel. “Cecilia, stop being stubborn. Kneel!”

Nicholas spoke up once more. “Think this through. She’s carrying the Rainsworth family’s lineage in her womb right now. If you force her to kneel and something happens to the baby, can you bear the -consequences?”

Just one sentence from Nicholas caused them to release Cecilia.

One of them tried buttering Nicholas up. “Forget it. She can’t kneel because she’s pregnant.”

“Yeah, forget it”

Vivian had already called Zachary. She didn’t know who could come to their aid, and the first person who came to mind was Zachary

Zachary had finished performing surgery on Nathaniel. Upon learning that Cecilia was being bullied by the Escobars, he promised to be there shortly before hanging up right away.

“All right

Vivian, clutching her phone, rushed into the crowd. It was then she noticed that Nicholas had arrived and was protectively standing in front of Cecilia, preventing the Escobars from doing anything to her.

“Ceci, are you alright?” She approached, wrapping her arms around Cecilia.

Cecilia was fine, but Vivian had fallen and scraped both her elbow and feg, bleeding.

“I’m–fine.” Noticing Vivian’s injuries, Cecilia teared up.

She could tolerate being bullied herself, but she would never allow her loved ones to be harmed.

“Vivian, Jet’s go to the doctor first.”

“Okay.” Vivian thought that Cecilia was worried about the baby and immediately agreed.

As she was about to leave, Cecilia looked at Nicholas with gratitude. “Thank you.”

“Are you feeling unwell? Let me give you a ride.”

“No need.”

Cecilia instructed the driver to take them to the nearest hospital or clinic.

As the two of them got into the car, the Escobars were still grumbling. “How delicate! We didn’t even do anything to her.”

A hint of coldness flashed in Cecilia’s eyes.

“Perhaps we should go to a hospital. A clinic won’t do, Vivian suggested as she watched the driver pull up to a clinic.

Cecilia helped her out of the car. “It’s all right. We need to tend to your wounds.”

“Huh?”

It was only after Vivian was taken into the clinic for her wounds to be examined and treated that she understood Cecilia was more concerned about her than about herself.

She had been so worried about Cecilia earlier that she didn’t even notice her wrist and leg were bleeding.

While she was tending to the wound, Cecilia was outside making a phone call.

“Sven, how are the bodyguards I had you train managing?”

“They can handle basic emergencies without any issues,” Sven replied.

“Great. Could you ask them to stop by the funeral home?” Cecilia requested.

“All right.”

Without uttering another word, Sven sent twenty of his men as per Cecilia’s request.

After Cecilia ended the call, Vivian emerged from the treatment room. “Cecilia.”

“Feeling any better?” Cecilia asked.

“It’s nothing, just a minor injury.”

Cecilia’s gaze was filled with regret. Vivian wouldn’t have gotten hurt if it wasn’t for me.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

The two of them returned to the funeral home, and as soon as they arrived, they noticed that the atmosphere was completely different from before, eerily silent.
