When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1370 You Are Not Allowed To Lie

Queenie was in the midst of resting with her eyes closed when she heard a commotion. Opening her eyes, she saw her bodyguards had successfully restrained the two children. By then, Cassandra's hand had already landed on Elliot's face.

Upon impact, Elliot felt his head buzzing incessantly.

"Eli!" Jonathan was frantic, wanting to intervene, but he was no match for the bodyguard. "If you've got the guts, come at me!"

Cassandra had used all her strength to hit Elliot, her palm still tingling slightly from the impact.

When she saw Jonathan yelling back defiantly, she raised her hand to slap him next.

Suddenly, a clamor from outside.

While Cassandra was lost in her thoughts, Cecilia, Nathaniel, and the others had already barged in.

"Jon, Eli!"

Upon seeing the two youngsters restrained by the bodyguards, Cecilia, despite her heavily pregnant belly, hurried over to them.

However, the bodyguards who were holding the children didn't show any signs of releasing them.

Nathaniel's expression turned grim as his bodyguards stepped forward. In the blink of an eye, they took down the men who were restraining the children, leaving them sprawled on the ground. Cecilia swiftly went on to embrace them.

"Are you alright?"

Her eyes were filled with concern.

Elliot was still reeling from the slap, yet in order not to worry Cecilia, he endured it in silence, refraining from voicing his discomfort.

"Don't worry, Mommy," he said, sounding somewhat weak.

Jonathan also reassured his mother, "Yeah, we're fine."

Upon hearing that the two children were unharmed, Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief. She then turned her attention to Queenie and Cassandra. "Mdm. Queenie, I can't believe that you would stoop so low as to have children beaten."

Faced with Cecilia's accusation, Queenie responded with a snigger. "Ms. Smith, why don't you ask your two sons what are they doing in my home?" Upon hearing this, Cecilia turned to look at the children.

Both of them lowered their heads in unison. "Sorry, Mommy, we went out to play and got lost."

Got lost...

Cecilia was not a fool and knew very well that they were lying.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Jon, Eli, didn't I teach you both not to lie? Have you forgotten about it?"

Upon hearing this, the two children blushed even more and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

At that moment, Cassandra stepped forward, her voice laced with sarcasm. "Cecilia, you can't even take care of the kids properly. How can you let them run around to other people's homes. And now you've even brought your men and barge into the Jamieson residence. How are you going to clean up this mess?"

Nathaniel came forward and stood in front of Cecilia and her two children.

"What do you want?"

His icy voice left Cecilia at a loss for words momentarily.

Nathaniel looked at the two c

again. "It's good that they're unharmed today. But if something had happened, your entire family would have been in trouble.

"You're quite full of yourself," Cassandra muttered, yet deep down, she harbored a certain wariness toward Nathaniel. Zachary and Vivian also came over. "Thank goodness they're alright."

"Mommy, let's head back," Elliot said, feeling increasingly unwell, afraid he might not be able to hold on much longer.

Although Cecilia was somewhat upset that the two children had sneaked out, her prevailing emotion was her concern for them. "Alright, let's go."

As she was leaving with the two children, she turned to Queenie and said, "I apologize if the kids have been a bother. I hope you can forgive them, Mdm. Queenie." Cecilia didn't say this out of fear for Queenie, but rather, she wanted to ensure her children's safety.

What she didn't know was, due to Cassandra's slap, Eli's condition had significantly worsened.

On the way home, Cecilia found herself questioning the two children, wanting to know exactly what was going on. She was curious as to why they had to sneak out and even head toward the Jamieson residence.

"This time, there are no outsiders present. You are not allowed to lie." Cecilia's expression was serious.
