Chapter 1063 The Surgery Went Awry
“Got it. I’ll be right there. Cecilia replied.
As Cecilia followed Jocelyn upstairs, Miranda spat, “What a shameless creature! She must have forgotten that Nicholas is Nathaniel’s brother.”
Jessica came over.
“Miranda, why bother getting upset over someone like her? She lost her sense of shame a long time ago.”
When Miranda heard someone join her in criticizing Cecilia, her mood improved significantly.
“Don’t worry, Jessica. In a few days. I’ll put in a good word for you in front of Grandpa. Now that Nathaniel is divorced, he needs a woman by his side to take charge of things.”
With gratitude brimming in her eyes, Jessica gushed, “Thank you, Miranda.”
She was particularly gratified at the moment, unaware that she would soon come to regret it immensely.
In the CEO’s office on the top floor, Cecilia stepped into the room after knocking and receiving permission to enter.
Nicholas was seated in front of the computer with his head buried in work. Upon hearing her enter, he looked up.
Cecilia was dressed simply, her face particularly exquisite even without makeup. Regretfully, she had a scar on the right side of her face.
“Have a seat,” Nicholas offered.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Cecilia stepped forward and settled herself on a nearby couch. “May I ask why you asked for me, Mr. Rainsworth:
Nicholas shut down his computer before he started, “Before I tell you the reason, please brace yourself well”
Seeing his serious expression, Cecilia gave a slight nod “Okay,” “Recently, Nathaniel underwent a surgery. Regrettably, it went awry,” Nicholas enunciated.
A loud buzz filled Cecilia’s head, leaving her dazed for a long time.
“So, how is he doing right…”
Before she had finished speaking, she was already somewhat unsettled.
Observing the change in her, Nicholas felt his throat going dry. “He’s in bad shape.”
“Where is he now?”
Cecilia’s hands clenched, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
I just knew that he would never have asked for a divorce for no reason… But why didn’t he tell me about it?
“I had him temporarily taken to a quiet manor to recuperate. If you’re free tonight, you can go with me to visit him.”
“Can we go now?” Cecilia immediately asked.
“Of course.”
As Nicholas saw Cecilia showing such great concern for Nathaniel, a feeling he couldn’t quite put into words welled up within him.
He stood up. “Let’s go.”
Cecilia also got up, but perhaps because of the matter with Nathaniel, she was somewhat unsteady on her feet and nearly toppled over.
Fortunately. Nicholas reacted quickly and supported her in time.
“Given your current state, it’s better to not go and visit him now. I’m afraid you won’t be able to accept it.”
After regaining her balance, Cecilia took a few steps back, extricating herself from his embrace. “I must have been sitting for too long just now, so I was slightly dizzy and unsteady on my feet. I’m fine now. I can go and visit him.”
Since she was so insistence, Nicholas couldn’t quite bring himself to dissuade her further.
“Alright, then. Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Cecilia nodded in agreement.
The two of them went downstairs together in the CEO’s private elevator. Even after they had gone out and had gotten into the car, Cecilia’s face was still as pale as a sheet.
Nicholas‘ gaze fell on her face from the corner of his eyes. “I have a question for you, Ceci.”
“What is it?” Cecilia looked at him, puzzled.
“When did you start developing feelings for my brother?”
Nicholas never truly understood how someone who had always liked him also fell in love with Nathaniel.
Cecilia was taken aback.
She wasn’t quite sure how to answer that. At first, she mistook Nathaniel for Nicholas and was nice to him unconditionally. But later, she found herself disappointed by his actions.
When they met again, she realized her mistake and felt that she likely had no feelings for him.
However, as time passed, her interactions with him increased, and she began to understand him anew. Gradually, she found that she had accepted him.
“I don’t know either”
