After walking outside, Cecilia looked up at the clear sky as indescribable emotions filled her heart.
The information Cassandra had given her was truly beyond her comprehension.
She thought Nicholas was crazy enough, but now she realized that everything she knew about him in the past was just the tip of the iceberg.
Taking a deep breath, Cecilia wondered how to relay the information to Meredith.
Meredith's call came quickly.
Cecilia chose her words carefully and slowly told her the story.
Meredith fell silent for a long time, then said in disbelief, "Nicholas seems like such a gentle person. How could he do something like that?"
"I don't know either. In any case, you don't need to investigate Dahlia's biological father anymore. Raise Dahlia well. With you by her side, she will be very happy," Cecilia advised.
Meredith understood that logic as well. A man capable of such an act was likely not a good person, so she'd be better off not finding Dahlia's biological father.
*****
Nicholas stayed in the hospital for an unknown length of time. Once the doctor confirmed he had no major health issues, Elena allowed the bodyguards to take him home.
It was the weekend, and everyone was at the Rainsworth Manor.
Cecilia and Nathaniel were there too. Now, whenever she saw Nicholas, complicated emotions would arise in her heart.
Nicholas' gaze was empty. When he saw Cecilia, he couldn't help but think of Jocelyn.
While Cecilia was standing outside alone, he walked over to her.
"Ceci," he called out.
Cecilia turned around to look at him, then took a step back, her eyes full of caution.
Having noticed the change in her expression, Nicholas didn't get closer to her. Instead, he asked, "Can you talk to me?"
Cecilia had to admit that she was a little afraid of him now.



Nicholas kept quiet. After a long time, he said impatiently, "How would I know about that?"
Cecilia clenched her fists. "You really don't know? Why did Cassandra say you were the only one who knew the inside story?"
Since the conversation had reached such a point, Nicholas knew Cassandra must have told Cecilia.
"Ceci, I did this for you," he said.
Cecilia was shocked. "What did you say?"
He's done such a horrible thing to Cassandra, and now he's pinning the reason on me?
Cecilia was furious. "I never told you to hurt Cassandra."
