When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1100 Pack Your Things And Leave

Jessica was charming with her words. However, when faced with real danger, she could outrun anyone.

Elena had finally seen it clearly. Jessica was simply not worth trusting.

“Aunt Elena, I was just too anxious earlier. That’s why I ran out to find a doctor… If Cecilia hadn’t arrived, the bodyguards would have come anyway.” Jessica tried to maintain her standing in Elena’s eyes.

Elena scoffed, “Sure, they arrived. But I might have already been done for by then.”

Jessica couldn’t help but feel awkward.

Elena no longer paid her any attention; instead, she turned her caring gaze toward Cecilia. “Ceci, how are you feeling now? Were you scared earlier? Is your stomach hurting?”

Previously, Elena had only been concerned about the babies‘ well–being. Now, for the first time, she was showing concern for Cecilia’s health.

“I’m fine. My stomach doesn’t hurt.”

As the months progressed, the pregnancy became more stable.

“In the future, when you encounter dangerous situations, you must put yourself and the babies first. Don’t worry about me.” Elena was not a person who was selfish or irrational.

How could her life possibly compare to that of Cecilia and the twins she was carrying in her womb?

Thankfully, Cecilia and the babies were unharmed. If anything had happened to them, it would have been difficult for her to have peace of mind for the rest of her life.

“I’ll take care of myself and the babies, as well as you.”

After all, Elena was Nathaniel’s biological mother. If she were to be unintentionally hurt by Nathaniel, he would undoubtedly be in great pain.

Cecilia’s words touched Elena even more deeply, yet they also intensified her feelings of guilt.

“Thank you,” Elena said sincerely.

Jessica stood off to the side, watching the affectionate interaction between the mother and daughter–in- law, her eyes filled with jealousy.

Elena’s gaze fell on Jessica. “Jessica, I think it’s best if you return to the Quill residence.”

A bomb went off in Jessica’s mind, and in the next second, she found herself kneeling before Elena.

“Aunt Elena, I beg you not to send me away. If any danger arises in the future, I promise to stand in front of you.”

A cold indifference filled Elena’s eyes. “Don’t call me that. We’re not related.”

Tears welled up in Jessica’s eyes.

“You did nothing wrong. There’s no need to talk like that,” Elena said. “In the face of danger, protecting oneself and leaving others behind isn’t wrong. But judging by your demeanor, you’re simply not suited to take care of Nathaniel. Besides, Nathaniel has Cecilia and two kids. It’s not appropriate for you two to get married. I’ll speak to Old Mr. Quill about this.”

Elena had completely changed her perception of Cecilia. She had now accepted Cecilia as her daughter- in–law.

Listening from the side, Cecilia was somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected Elena to ask Jessica to leave.

Jessica did mind that Nathaniel had become a fool, but being driven away was a completely different story from leaving on her own.

“Mdm. Elena, if I’m sent back like this, I’ll certainly be scorned by my uncles. They might even kill me. Rather than dying at the Quill residence, I’d prefer to die here,” Jessica said with teary eyes.

Cecilia found it impossible to deal with someone like Jessica.

Jessica was like a stubborn stain that couldn’t be removed; any attempt to forcefully get rid of her would only lead to more problems.

Elena had lived longer than Cecilia. She immediately spoke up.

“You needn’t worry about that. I’ll introduce you to my nephew. A man from the Griffiths family should be a good match for you, don’t you think?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Surprise flickered in Jessica’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She didn’t say anything, which was her way of agreeing.

“Pack your things and leave today. I’ll call Old Mr. Quill and introduce you to my nephew.”

Compared to the simple–minded Nathaniel, Elena’s nephew was certainly much better. Jessica had heard that the Griffiths family was full of talented young men. They were in no way inferior to the Rainsworth family.

“Aunt Elena… Mdm. Elena, may I ask what his name is?” Jessica thought it would be good to play it safe. Cecilia, sitting off to the side, was completely dumbfounded.
