When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1873

Chapter 1873 Allison Contacted Meredith
After hanging up the phone, Meredith settled down to rest. But before she could get comfortable, her phone rang again. She glanced at the unfamiliar number, puzzled. When she answered, a voice she recognized came through.

“Meredith? Is that you?” It was Allison.

Since Zeke's divorce from Meredith, Allison had severed all ties with her. Now, she was using someone else's phone to reach out, with Zeke standing beside her. To prevent Meredith from hanging up immediately, Allison chose to contact her herself instead of having Zeke do it.

Meredith's brows furrowed slightly. “It's me.”

“Great, I finally reached you,” Allison said, her tone overly warm. “When will you have some time to visit me at the Turner residence?”

Meredith couldn't help but chuckle, a sharp edge to her voice. “Oh, Mrs. Turner, it seems you've forgotten. Your son and I are divorced. You're no longer my mother-in-law.”

Allison's smile faltered, but she quickly suppressed the discomfort.

Knowing she needed something from Meredith, she softened her tone. “Zeke was immature and foolish back then. I've always regretted not stepping in to try and mend things between the two of you.”

She continued, “I've already spoken to Zeke, and he understands his mistake now. He won't be involved with Camila, ever again. You can come back now.”

After finishing her words, Allison gently nudged her half-asleep grandson, Conrad, who was sitting beside her. “Conrad, talk to your mother and ask her to come back,” she said softly.

Conrad's face wore an expression of impatience, but he knew how serious the situation was. “Mommy, please come back soon. Mommy, I miss you so much. You're the only mother I have. Please, I beg you...”

Hearing Conrad's voice, a sharp pang struck Meredith's heart—not because of the child, but because of the sacrifices she had made in the past.

Allison had once insisted that Meredith accept Conrad, even going so far as to tell her that Conrad's biological mother was long gone. She even coached Conrad to speak in that way.
