When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 The True Nature Of Stella 

It took a while for Cecilia to regain some clarity. She discovered that her forehead, hands, and legs were all bandaged. 

In the early hours of the morning, the sky outside was unusually dark. 

The lights in the ward were not turned off. She turned her head, and under the soft light, she saw someone sitting next to her. 

“Calvin…” 

She parted her pale lips slightly. 

Calvin was a light sleeper, so the faint cry of a woman was enough to rouse him quickly from his 

slumber. 

“You’re awake. How do you feel?” 

The doctor had mentioned that her injuries weren’t too severe as she was sitting in the backseat. 

Cecilia replied, “I’m fine. The driver…” 

“He’s all right. He received timely treatment.” 

Feeling relieved, Cecilia asked, “What happened after I fainted?” 

“Not long after you fainted, I brought my men over and caught the guy who had tried to flee. Nathaniel was also there. He was the one who brought you to the hospital,” Calvin revealed without concealing the truth. 

However, he didn’t disclose to Cecilia how Nathaniel rescued her from the car. Neither did he reveal that Nathaniel had stayed with her the entire night, only leaving half an hour ago. 

Cecilia remained acutely aware that Nathaniel had stationed his men to shadow her every move, and the driver was equally under his employ. Consequently, she understood that any incident affecting her would swiftly reach his attention. 

Thankfully, Calvin had also arrived, which scared Sean into fleeing. Otherwise, she might not have survived. 

Cecilia instinctively felt that Calvin had arrived earlier than Nathaniel. She also believed that it was Calvin who had saved her. 

Perhaps loving someone is inherently selfish, but Calvin never explicitly explained this to Cecilia. 

“Nathaniel has always forbidden me from seeing you. Does he know you’re here watching over me?” Cecilia asked. 

Calvin knew what she was worried about.

“Don’t worry. He knows.” 

Calvin and Nathaniel had arrived at the hospital one after the other. 

When Cecilia was in the emergency room, both of them had maintained an outwardly gentlemanly demeanor, neither one causing embarrassment for the other. 

+5 Pearls 

An hour ago, Nathaniel had to leave due to some urgent matters. Before he left, he stationed numerous bodyguards at the entrance. Everything within the ward was under his watchful eye. 

If Calvin and Cecilia were up to something, he would know about it. 

Upon noticing that Cecilia’s lips were quite dry, Calvin rose to fetch her a cup of warm water. He gently fed it to her, reassuring her, “I’ve already had someone keep an eye on Sean. In the future, when Sven is away, I’ll have the others protect you.” 

After drinking some water, Cecilia gave a nod. 

“Okay.” 

Calvin helped her sit up. “I’ve had it investigated. The man responsible for the car accident is Sean. He used to be a small business owner abroad. When Stella initially approached him, he even had a fiancée. Sean was quite smitten with Stella. He broke off his engagement for her and even paid a hefty sum to boost her career as a singer. He even wrote songs for her. But Sean eventually went bankrupt and could no longer financially support Stella, which led her to return to the country for further development.” 

Cecilia wasn’t surprised. 

She had long heard about Stella’s colorful past, just not in such detail. 

She was convinced that if Nathaniel were to go bankrupt at this point, Stella would also choose to leave him.
