When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 827 No Answer

Once Cecilia had finished her medicine, Nicholas gently placed her back onto the bed.

She was running a fever and drifted off into a hazy sleep, Her head was still throbbing with pain and her throat was sore.

Nicholas didn’t leave. Instead, he fetched another fever patch and applied it on her.

The woman felt significantly more comfortable right away, and she instinctively seized his hand.

“Nathaniel. I feel so terrible.”

Nicholas Adam’s apple subtly moved. “You’ll feel better soon.

“You’re lying….

Lacking strength. Cecilia began to loosen her group on his hand.

The man instinctively held her very tightly.

An hour later. Cecilia finally managed to shake off her fever and fell asleep.

When Nicholas was about to leave, her phone started ringing.

He picked it up and saw Sven’s name on the screen.

Nicholas had previously investigated this bodyguard, who was not as simple as he seemed; he was actually one of Calvin’s men assigned to remain by her side.

It was only after he returned to Tudela that he found out that the “Fatso” Cecilia had once spoken of was Calvin

Calvin was the illegitimate child of a secretive family. The family wasn’t involved in any licit business; they were essentially living on the edge of a knife.

At present, Nicholas rejected Sven’s call and turned off Cecilia’s phone,

Sven tried to call again, but upon learning the woman’s device had been switched off, he felt something

Meanwhile, Elliot innocently asked him, “Mr. Sven, did my mommy answer the phone?”

“It’s been turned off. The battery probably died,” Sven answered before assuring the child. “Stay at home. I’ll go pick her up.

“Okay”

Elliot nodded.

When Sven was about to leave, Jessica immediately followed him “Sven, please take me with you. I’ll go look for Cecilia with you”

The man’s face was devoid of expression.

“Sorry, but I’m not comfortable having strangers in my car.”

“Alright, then, Jessica replied, feeling awkward.

If it had been any other man, she would have dared to insist. But for some reason, Sven made her feel somewhat afraid.

After the man had left in a hurry, she sent a message to Nathaniel:

Nathaniel, Cecilia hasn’t returned yet. Where could she still be at this hour?

Her words made it sound as if Cecilia had sneaked off to have an alfair.

Worried that Nathaniel might not be able to read the text, she sent him a voice message too,This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Back at Seabay Villa, Nathaniel, who had been aggravated by Cecilia yesterday, now received a message from Jessica.

His phone, equipped with artificial intelligence, could read out messages directly. First, a mechanical female voice informed him that it was past nine in the evening, but Cecilia still not arrive home. Then, it was followed by Jessica’s coquettish voice repeating the same message.

Before the voice message had finished playing. Nathaniel turned off his phone.

They were all adults: what was there to fuss about just because Cecilia hadn’t come home?

Unbothered, Nathaniel went to rest.

Yet, he found himself unable to sleep again tonight.

Hearing the clock strike ten, he instinctively grabbed his phone to call the bodyguard inside the villa.

“Has Cecilia returned yet?”

-Not yet

“What are you guys doing, then?”

“Sven told us to wait.”

Nathaniel’s expression darkened. “Is he your boss?”

The bodyguard then realized he had misspoken.

“We’ll go look for her right now.”

Nathaniel made up his mind to dismiss them all once he regained his memories.

Meanwhile, Sven had already driven to the cemetery, but there was no sign of Cecilia here anymore.

He stepped out of the car, scanning his surroundings before finally settling back into the vehicle. As he drove out of the cemetery, he collected the surveillance footage from around the grounds.

After everything was taken care of, it was already half past ten at night.

Sven checked the surveillance and quickly identified the person who had taken Cecilia away.
