Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 668

Chapter 668 Will You Stay With Me?

Diana said softly, "Madam Farley, let me go up and check on him."

Rita, still in her nightgown, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Diana arrive.

Diana quickly headed upstairs, with Steven following closely behind.

Reaching Cecil's room, Diana knocked on the door. "Cecil, it's Diana. Could you open the door, please?"

There was silence for a moment before Diana knocked again, her voice gentle but firm. "Cecil, please open the door."

Suddenly, the door swung open, and Cecil appeared, looking disoriented in his light gray pajamas.

"Diana, you came," he said, as he immediately wrapped his arms tightly around her.

Steven, who was following, felt his face grow darker at the sight. Seeing Cecil's tear-stained face, he stopped in his tracks.

Cecil forced a smile through his tears. "I know you saved me. I know it was you. If not for you, do you know what would've happened to me? I think... I think I was supposed to die today."

Diana was momentarily stunned. She thought, "This is strange. Even if Cecil dreamt about events from the past, why would he be so shaken?

Cecil's cries eventually quieted, but his body was still trembling with fear.

Looking up at Diana with eyes that seemed both fragile and pleading, he said softly, "Diana, I'm in pain again."

Diana was struck by the contrast between Cecil's usual charming demeanor and the current look of vulnerability on his face. His pale, jade-like skin glistened with tears, and a few loose strands of hair fell across his forehead, making him look all the more delicate and haunted.

"Cecil, it's alright. I'm here now,"
