When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1085 Asking To Take Care Of Nathaniel

Elena was surprised.

After all, it was Nathaniel who had initiated the divorce from Cecilia, abandoning her and their children. Despite so, Cecilia was still willing to look after him now that he was in this state.

Elena thought about Nathaniel’s current violent state. “Nathaniel is not just mentally challenged now; he also has violent tendencies. The servants and housekeepers taking care of him often get injured. What would you do if he were to lose control?”

Her greatest concern was the babies in Cecilia’s womb.

“Mom, Nathaniel and I were married for many years. I’m not afraid of him. If he wakes up and has an episode, I’ll have someone else take care of him. What do you think?” Cecilia’s tone sounded sincere and heartfelt.

Elena couldn’t find another reason to refuse.

However, she added, “You might not be aware, but Old Mr. Rainsworth has arranged for Jessica to take care of Nathaniel. He even promised to let Jessica marry Nathaniel in a month.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Only then did Cecilia understand why Jessica was strutting around proudly two days earlier. But is she still willing to marry him now that he’s like this? If she’s willing, then she must really love him a lot.

“Mom, if Jessica truly cares for Nathaniel, I wouldn’t object to them being together. But now, since they aren’t married yet, as Nathaniel’s ex–wife and the mother of his children, I should still take care of him,” Cecilia said.

Elena noticed Cecilia had become sensible.

All Cecilia wanted now was to visit Nathaniel and take care of him herself. She finally understood how much he had truly cared for her, how sincere his love had always been. As for Jessica, if she treated Nathaniel with kindness, Cecilia would accept it. But if Jessica mistreated Nathaniel, Cecilia wouldn’t hesitate to make her pay.

“All right, I’ll let Nicholas know that you wish to take care of Nathaniel. You can go whenever you’re ready.”

“Okay.” Cecilia nodded.

She believed that with Elena’s intervention, Nicholas wouldn’t be able to find a good reason to refuse.

It didn’t take long before Elena informed Nicholas about the matter. Though Nicholas initially resisted, Elena’s persistent persuasion eventually wore him down, and he reluctantly agreed.

Nathaniel had recently undergone a medical evaluation, and the doctor confirmed his diagnosis of intellectual impairments, with little chance of any unexpected changes.

Shortly after, Cecilia received a call from Nicholas, granting her permission to visit Nathaniel at her convenience. She quickly informed Elliot that she had plans for the night and wouldn’t be home, reassuring him that she would return the following day

Elliot grabbed her hand and asked, “Mommy, are you in love?”

“I saw on TV that people only stay out all night when they’re in love,” Elliot expressed, a hint of worry creeping into his voice. He was afraid that Cecilia might have been deceived by some jerk of a man.

Jonathan had told him that Nathaniel’s surgery had failed and he was now mentally challenged.

Elliot desperately wanted to tell Cecilia the truth, yet he was afraid that Cecilia would be heartbroken.

He was unaware that Cecilia had already learned about Nathaniel’s surgery.

“No, Mommy’s just going to work. Don’t overthink.” After comforting Elliot, Cecilia left.

Elliot was still worried after she left, so he went to find Sven. “Mr. Sven, let’s follow Mommy. I can’t stop worrying about her.”

Sven also had no idea where Cecilia was headed.

Elliot pleaded earnestly, “Mr. Sven, I beg you. Can we follow Mommy and keep her safe? What do you say?”

Sven maintained a stoic expression, but deep down, his heart had melted. “Fine.”
