When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 Zachary At The Hospital 

+5 Pearls 

Nathaniel’s heart pounded heavily when he noticed the scrapes on Cecelia’s hands and legs. Without a second thought, he pulled her back into the car and instructed the driver to head to the hospital. 

Fear washed over Cecelia once she sat in the car, starting to reflect on her impulsive actions. For the sake of Jonathan and Elliot, she couldn’t afford to let anything happen to her. 

With a tense expression, Nathaniel asked, “What are you upset about?” 

Cecelia felt a faint pain in her hands and legs but didn’t respond. 

The car once again fell into silence. 

Nathaniel hated it when Cecelia remained silent. 

She used to talk a lot in the past, especially during her childhood, constantly chattering away in my ear. Yet now, she will fall silent without any apparent reason. 

He snapped, “Where were you planning to go just now?” 

“I just wanted to get out of the car and stretch my legs. I didn’t have a particular place in mind.” 

Both children are in his hands. Where else can I possibly go? 

The driver pulled up at the hospital’s entrance, and Nathaniel helped her out of the car. 

At the outpatient department consultation room, Nathaniel opened the door and entered. 

“Nathaniel, what are you doing here?” A familiar voice rang out. 

Zachary, clad in a doctor’s robe, sat in the consultation room. Gone was his usual frivolity, replaced by a newfound seriousness. 

Nathaniel didn’t answer him but instead asked, “Why are you here?” 

Zachary’s gaze instinctively fell on Cecelia, who was behind Nathaniel, before quickly darting 

away. 

“Old Mr. Sinclair insisted that I should come in and experience life, so here I am,” he said. 

He had always been disinterested in medicine but was compelled by George to study it. He also delved into law and international business. 

George hoped that with more hands–on experience, Zachary would be better equipped to manage the family business in the future. 

If George hadn’t given him an ultimatum to either work at the hospital or propose to Vivian, he wouldn’t have bothered coming.

He didn’t know what George saw in Vivian for insisting on him marrying her.

Every time Vivian and that naughty child crossed his mind, he would feel his head ache. 

Nathaniel didn’t ask any further, instead he had Cecelia step up. “Take care of her wounds.” 

Zachary’s gaze landed on Cecelia, noticing the scrapes on her arms and legs. 

“Come and have a seat.” 

His demeanor was professional. 

Cecelia knew that as long as Nathaniel was around, Zachary would restrain himself and not harm her. 

Thus, she took a seat on the stool, allowing him to examine the injuries on her body. 

After thoroughly examining, Zachary removed his disposable gloves. 

“They’re nothing serious and all superficial injuries.” 

He asked the nurse to bring some cream for the wound. After receiving it, he was about to apply it to Cecelia, but Nathaniel stopped him. 

“Give it to me. 

Upon seeing the situation, Zachary couldn’t help but say, “It’s fine, I can apply it for her.” 

Nathaniel’s face darkened with displeasure, ready to snatch the cream. 

Observing the two’s dilly–dallying. Cecelia seized the cream from Zachary’s hand. 

“I’ll apply it myself.” 

Cecelia began tending to the wound with a cotton swab. 

The atmosphere within the room was a bit odd. 

Zachary arrived by Nathaniel’s side. They stood together and started a conversation.
