When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1094 Be Careful

Vivian sat beside him. “What on earth happened? Why was Grandpa so angry the other day? What happened to Nathaniel?”

“You just need to know that while I may not be a saint, I’m not completely evil either. Nicholas is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Make sure Cecilia is careful around him,” Zachary warned.

Vivian rolled her eyes at him.

“As far as I know, Nicholas has always been good to Cecilia. He helped her a lot when she was younger, and whenever she was bullied, he’d step up to protect her. But you, when she first married Nathaniel, the person who bullied her the most was you!”

Zachary was momentarily speechless.

Vivian was right. Zachary used to pick on Cecilia all the time.

He had even caused her hearing to worsen, and she still needed to rely on a hearing aid to this day.

Zachary deeply regretted it, but he knew he could never make it up to her. He had been studying treatments for hearing loss but hadn’t made much progress yet.

He owed Cecilia for life.

“Vivian, you have to believe me this time. I swear I will treat Cecilia well for the rest of my life,” Zachary said earnestly.

This was the first time Vivian had heard him calling her name so adoringly, but she wasn’t bothered by it,

She also knew that Zachary had mistakenly helped Stella before, thinking she was his savior.

Now that the truth had come out–that it was actually Cecilia who had saved him–Zachary would definitely not harm Cecilia.

“Don’t worry, I’ll talk to her. She’s starting to change her opinion of you too. But you can’t expect her to stop seeing Nicholas just because of your personal feelings.”

As Cecilia’s friend, Vivian believed that Cecilia should be with whoever treated her best, and there was nothing wrong with that.

“Understood.” Zachary finally agreed with Cecilia for the first time.

Vivian nodded. “Glad you understand.”

While the two were talking, Cecilia called.

Vivian immediately answered and put it on speaker.

“It wasn’t convenient to talk earlier. Now I’m outside.” Cecilia’s voice came through.

It was just as Vivian had said.

“Cecilia, you’re always so thoughtful.”

“Zachary, I want to ask you. Was that surgery a failure, or was there some other reason?” Cecilia asked directly.

Zachary hesitated, unsure of how to respond.

“I don’t know if it failed or not. After the surgery, Nicholas barged in with his men, injured Mason and me, then took Nathaniel away.” Zachary sighed. “I later heard from Nicholas that not only did Nathaniel’s eyes not recover, but also… well…”

He trailed off.

“I’ve been with him these past few days. The doctors here have examined him, and he does have cognitive issues now,” Cecilia replied.

Zachary felt even more guilty after hearing this.

He blamed himself. “I was so well–prepared. How did it turn out like this? If only I had convinced him not to do the surgery!”

There was no point in regretting it now.

Cecilia was focused on making Nathaniel’s life as comfortable as possible.

“I want to take Nathaniel out of the manor one weekend and have you secretly give him a full check–up.”

While caring for Nathaniel, Cecilia had noticed several needle marks on his body. She had no idea what the butler had been injecting him with.

Without hesitation, Zachary agreed.

“No problem. Just let me know once you’ve brought him out.”

After hanging up, Cecilia returned to the manor.

That night, instead of going back to her own room, she lay down beside Nathaniel.
