When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1061 Gone Mad

Nicholas‘ grip gradually tightened. If Nathaniel were to die now, he could claim that Zachary and Mason had conspired against Nathaniel behind closed doors.

Somehow, an operation performed on Nathaniel led to his untimely demise, though it remained a mystery as to what exactly was done.

“Nathaniel, don’t blame me for this. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you. You just had to compete with me in everything.” Nicholas covered Nathaniel’s mouth and nose and continued, “When I met Ceci, I thought I finally had something you didn’t. But you even took her from me. Stealing her was one thing, but you just wouldn’t let me go! Do you have any id how much it hurts to see you two together every day, to see her carrying your child?”

Nicholas’s eyes brimmed slightly with tears.

“Everything’s okay now. Once you’ve left this world, I’ll take good care of my dear sister–in–law for you,” declared Nicholas.

It seemed as though he had deliberately used the term sister–in–law.”

Though Nicholas couldn’t be certain if Nathaniel was still conscious, he still derived satisfaction from rubbing the situation in Nathaniel’s defenseless face.

The instinctive struggle for air appeared to have roused the unresponsive Nathaniel, whose eyes flickered slightly. His hand slowly lifted before grasping Nicholas‘ wrist.

Nicholas‘ eyes narrowed slightly.

He steeled himself and mustered all his strength.

Alas, Nicholas‘ constitution was inherently frail. By the time Nathaniel regained consciousness, Nicholas was no longer a match for him.

“Someone, come,” Nicholas stated simply.

The car came to a halt, and several burly men climbed aboard.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Mr. Nicholas.”

Just as Nicholas was about to give them the orders to get rid of Nathaniel, the latter opened his eyes unexpectedly.

He quickly surveyed everything inside the car.

Nicholas looked at Nathaniel, who had just opened his eyes, and sneered, “Nathaniel, were you pretending to be asleep?”

Nathaniel did not reply.

Nicholas continued, “Acting or not, I have no choice but to take your life today.”

Upon hearing his words, Nathaniel shot him a puzzled expression. “Who are you? I need to go home.

“What did you say?”

“Get me home quickly. I’m so hungry, starving really.”

Nathaniel sat up and began rummaging for food in the car. “Is need to eat, I’m really hungry,” he mumbled.

Nicholas was taken aback as he observed this side of Nathaniel. For a long while, he couldn’t bring himself to believe the scene before him..

“Has Mr. Nathaniel lost his mind?” asked one of Nicholas‘ men.

Another of his subordinates chimed in, “Mr. Nicholas, during our investigation, we heard that Mr. Nathaniel had undergone brain surgery. It seems the operation might have failed, rendering him a fool.”

“A fool?”

Nicholas was incredulous. He grabbed hold of Nathaniel and demanded, “Drop the act, Nathaniel. We’re twins: I know you’re not crazy.”

Seemingly frightened by his brother’s tone, Nathaniel began to cry.

“I need to go home. Who are you? Please take me home quickly,” he pleaded.

Nicholas still didn’t believe it. He glanced at the blade in his subordinate’s hand, picked it up, and lunged toward Nathaniel.

However, Nathaniel didn’t attempt to block it. Instead, he quickly took cover in the corner.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, he muttered.

Upon seeing Nathaniel in such a state, Nicholas abandoned any thought of killing him.

Mason was right, after all; Nathaniel was his biological brother.

“Mr. Nicholas, what do we do now?” his subordinate asked.

“First, take him back and lock him up.”

Nicholas still couldn’t believe that Nathaniel had lost his mind.

Hunched over in a corner and clutching his head, Nathaniel wailed, “My head hurts so much. So much.”

Nicholas looked at his brother, who posed no threat and could even be considered useless. He walked up to the latter, raising his hand to rest it on his brother’s shoulder.

“It’s okay now. I’ll take you home right away, and the pain will soon be gone.”

Nathaniel nodded. All right.

Nicholas was relishing in this sensation.

From now on, Nathaniel’s no longer the golden boy everyone admires. I’m taking his place now.

Nicholas‘ thoughts wandered further. Would Cecilla regret her choice if she sees Nathaniel in this state?
