When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1868

Chapter 1868 Not A Bad Person
Cecilia turned around. “Ms. Wright?”

Jocelyn caught up to her. “Did Mr. Nicholas reject you?”

Cecilia nodded, her expression resigned. “Yes.”

Jocelyn was taken aback. “How could he do that? What could Dahlia have possibly done to deserve this?”

“You can know a person's face, but not their heart,” Cecilia replied quietly.

But Jocelyn, determined, reached out and grasped Cecilia's hand. “I'm sure there's a reason for his actions. Don't be too hard on him. I'll speak with him. We'll find a way to have Ms. Seiler adopt Dahlia.”

Jocelyn had seen Dahlia often. The child was so sweet and mature for her age—she should never have ended up an orphan, unloved and alone.

“Thank you,” Cecilia said softly.

She paused for a moment, then added, turning to Jocelyn, “But I don't think there's a reason. Ms. Wright, let me give you a piece of advice—don't let him deceive you.”

Jocelyn's face stiffened, a mix of confusion and concern crossing her features. “Mr. Nicholas can be stubborn, yes, but he's not a bad person.”

In the past, Cecilia had felt the same way.

Before Jocelyn could respond, her phone rang.

“She glanced at the screen and saw it was a call from the hospital.

With a hint of confusion, she answered. “Hello, may I ask what's the matter?”

“Is this Jocelyn?” a voice on the other end asked urgently. “Your fiancé has been in a car accident. You need to come to the hospital immediately.”

A car accident?

“Jocelyn's body swayed, her legs almost giving way beneath her.

“All right, all right, I'll be there right away,” she stammered, her voice trembling with fear.”

She hung up quickly, her hand shaking as she returned her attention to Cecilia. “Ms. Smith, something's come up. I have to go.”

Without waiting for a response, Jocelyn turned and rushed off.
