When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1872

Chapter 1872 Sending Camila To The Hospital
Allison, still holding onto a shred of reason, quickly stepped forward, her voice trembling with urgency. “Zeke, stop. You're going to kill her.”

Hearing his mother's voice, Zeke snapped out of it before abruptly releasing Camila.

She collapsed onto the floor, her body wracked with coughs as she struggled for breath.

But Zeke, completely unmoved by her suffering, took a step toward her, his eyes cold. Without hesitation, he aimed a vicious kick at her side. “I'll ask you one more time—where's the money?”

Camila, her chest heaving with the force of her coughing, could barely speak. “I... I swear, it was stolen...”

Zeke didn't care for her words any longer. He motioned to his mother, and the two of them began to scour the room.

Time passed slowly as they tore the place apart, but after nearly half an hour, they found nothing.

Camila, having regained some strength, wiped her tear-streaked face. “I didn't lie. It was really stolen. If I had the money, I'd have already left the country.”

Zeke kicked her again. “I'm amazed you still have the nerve to say that.”

Allison, heartbroken, pointed a trembling finger at Camila. “You didn't care about Zeke, fine, but you should at least think about your son. This money was all we had left—how could you steal it?”

Camila lowered her head, her fists clenched tightly.

She didn't want to live a life of hardship, but she couldn't say that now.

“Zeke, can you just let me off this time? After all, I'm Conrad's mother. Do you really want him to grow up without a mother?” she begged.

Zeke sneered, his voice thick with contempt. “You? You're not fit to be his mother. I must have been blind to fall for you.”

Regret gnawed at him more than ever. He couldn't believe he had left Meredith, who had given him nothing but unconditional love, for someone like Camila.

Allison, equally regretful, spoke through gritted teeth. “I should have stopped you from breaking Meredith's heart. Look at the mess we're in now...”

At that moment, Zeke's phone began to ring.

He glanced at the screen, seeing yet again it was from the debt collector. With a frustrated swipe, he hung up. But the call came right back.

This time, Zeke accidentally answered the call. A furious voice boomed from the other end. “Zeke, don't think you're safe hiding. If you don't pay back the money, be ready to lose your limbs.”
