When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 584 No Regrets.

Yet, Cecilia remained silent as she guarded Elliot’s bedside, tightly holding his hand.

She was terrified that her child would suddenly leave her.

Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, Nathaniel’s patience finally wore thin.

“Come with me.” he said.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Cecilia looked up at him, knowing there were certain things she had to confront.

She followed Nathaniel as they left the hospital room.

Once they stepped outside, they found themselves alone in the pitch–black night.

“Is there nothing you wish to say to me?” Nathaniel asked.

Cecilia lowered her head. “You’ve already found it all out, so I have nothing more to say.”

Upon hearing those words, Nathaniel let out a cold laugh.

His hands tightened, the sound of his knuckles cracking echoing in the silent night air. “You took my sons away for five years. Upon your return, you even deceived me, claiming they were someone else’s children. And now, this is all you have to say?”

Cecilia had no regrets about the decision she made back then.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she retorted, “If I hadn’t left after becoming pregnant, would you have let me keep them?”

“So you’re saying it’s my fault?” Nathaniel couldn’t help but let out a furious laugh. “What makes

think I wouldn’t have let you give birth to them?”

Cecilia only regretted not having recorded all those ruthless words that Nathaniel had once said.

She fell silent again.

Ever since Nathaniel became blind to the world, what he feared most was this deathly silence.

He despised even more the way Cecilia was treating him now.

He firmly gripped Cecilia’s arm, tightening his hold. “Tell me, if I hadn’t found you abroad last year, were you again planning to leave forever with the two unborn children in your womb?”

Jonathan and Elliot were the result of Nathaniel forcing himself on her, yet the twins she carried now were something they had both agreed upon.

Cecilia did feel guilty, because in this matter, she truly owed Nathaniel an apology.

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize, just tell me, were you?”

Nathaniel had never imagined that the woman standing before him could be so ruthless.

Five years had passed.

He had missed out on the fastest–growing years of his two children, and after Cecilia became pregnant, she was once again planning to take the children away and raise them on her own.

Cecilia didn’t want to continue with the pretense, so she nodded. “Yes, back then, I did intend to take them all with me.”

Upon receiving a definite answer. Nathaniel’s grip unconsciously tightened.

Cecilia felt a sharp pain in her arm that was being gripped tightly. Enduring the pain, she apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“Why?” Nathaniel’s eyes were rimmed with red. “Why did you leave with them, only to return? Why carry my children again?”

Cecilia bit her lip before answering. “You’re aware that Eli has leukemia, right? The doctor said a cord blood transplant from a sibling is needed for the surgery.

“So, you came back just because you wanted to get a sibling for Eli?”

Back then, Nathaniel had truly believed her when she claimed that her unwillingness to let him. go was the reason she returned.

Cecilia admitted, “Yes. This was the only way to save Eli.”

Nathaniel was so upset that he couldn’t speak.

“Did you get my consent? Hmm?” He couldn’t see her face in that moment, so he lifted a hand to rest on her cheek.

Cecilia instinctively shrank back, thinking that he was about to hit her.

Sensing her movement, Nathaniel felt his heart shuddering.

Did she think I was going to hit her?

In the past, even though he didn’t love Cecilia, he had never laid a hand on her.

“Are you scared now?”

Cecilia felt that the current Nathaniel seemed to have reverted back to his original self, displaying that cold and domineering demeanor.

Her throat ached as she pleaded, “Please, allow me to have these two children. I promise I won’t interfere with your life. I beg you!”

He gently caressed Cecilia’s face over and over again, only realizing she was crying when he felt cold wetness brushing his fingertips.
