Chapter 1197 Persuade Him To Stop Drinking

Nathaniel didn’t respond. He merely shot him a glance, then picked up his wine glass and drained it in one gulp. 

Darren approached, advising, “Nathaniel, you’ve only just recovered. You should really cut back on the alcohol. 

Only then did Zachary remember. “Yeah, you must take care of your health. Slow down, okay?” 

Nathaniel knew his physical condition well. Every time he thought about Cecilia’s words, he felt that only alcohol could bring him a bit of comfort. 

He took another sip. “I’m just drinking a little. It’s fine.” 

The two men couldn’t seem to dissuade Nathaniel. That’s his definition of “little“? 

Zachary remained concerned. As a doctor, he understood all too well the harm alcohol could inflict on the body. 

Seizing an opportunity, he stepped out of the private room. After some contemplation, he dialed Cecilia’s number. 

Late that night, just as Cecilia had fallen asleep, she was abruptly awakened by the sound of a phone call. “Hello?” 

“Cecilia, it’s me,” Zachary clarified immediately. “Are you free right now? Can you come over to Royale Club? For some reason, Nathaniel has been drinking non–stop, and we can’t seem to stop him.” 

Cecilia wasn’t quite awake yet. 

Zachary knew that the reason behind Nathaniel’s excessive drinking over the years was none other than Cecilia. “Cecilia, Darren and I are at our wit’s end; he just won’t listen to us. Could you possibly come over and talk to him? With his condition. he can’t keep this up any longer.” 

Upon hearing Zachary’s frantic explanation from the other end of the phone, Cecilia gradually regained her senses and sat up. “He’s drinking with you all at this hour? Does he not care about his health anymore?” 

Cecilia was feeling incredibly exhausted at that moment. “I’m not going. It’s inconvenient for me to go anywhere since I’m heavily pregnant right now.” 

She was no longer the person who once risked it all for Nathaniel; now, she considered her own interests in everything she did. 

Realization dawned on Zachary when he heard that. After all, Cecilia was already five to six months pregnant. It wouldn’t be good if something happened to her, especially this late at night. 

Just as Cecilia was about to hang up, Zachary hurriedly spoke again. “But he listens to you, Cecilia. How about this? I’ll hand him the phone. Could you please persuade him over the call?” 

Cecilia had no reason to refuse since Zachary asked her to persuade Nathaniel over the phone. “All right.” 

Zachary immediately scurried over, holding out a smartphone to Nathaniel. 

Without even sparing a glance, Nathaniel asked impatiently, “What are you doing?” 

“Nathaniel, could you take this?” 

Nathaniel furrowed his brows. “No.” 

He was not in the mood. 

“It’s Cecilia. She called.” 

Nathaniel was clearly taken aback. Though he was still slightly tipsy, he immediately grabbed the phone without hesitation. 

Yet, he put on a tough front and feigned nonchalance. “So what? Have you forgotten I’ve been divorced for a while now?” 

On the other end of the phone, Cecilia heard those words loud and clear.

Nathaniel picked up his phone and stepped outside, ready to answer the call, curious to hear what Cecilia had to say.
